The 2009 Yacht & Beach Club FAQ Thread

[tete01830]

Disney's Beach Club and Yacht Club FAQs thread

The Beach Club​

A sandy white beach along a shimmering lake creates a feeling reminiscent of the lazy days of summer along the eastern seaboard. Relaxed yet luxurious, Disney’s Beach Club Resort shares an array of amenities with its “sister resort” Disney's Yacht Club Resort just a few feet away — a sandbottom pool, health club, full service marina and a beachfront promenade with direct access to Epcot® as well as the unique shops and restaurants at Disney’s BoardWalk entertainment district.

The Yacht Club​

Classic surroundings capture the essence of a New England yacht club at this upscale resort. Its comfy chairs, hardwood floors and shafts of sunlight streaming into a welcoming lobby invite you to linger. Here you’ll enjoy luxurious accommodations as well as delightful amenities shared with Disney’s Beach Club Resort — a sandbottom pool, health club, and full service marina. There’s even a beachfront promenade with direct access to Epcot as well as the unique shops and restaurants at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort.

Are there any other unique private dining options at the YC ~ like the chocolate monorail at the Contemporary or the chocolate picture boxes at the GF?

Thanks for your help in planning a special treat for my sons!

The new ones at the BC can sleep an adult!

 

[scottmel]

New daybeds...Well BWI has a neat one that is a couch that flips into a twin bed. They advertise it is adult sleepable but I am 5'9 and can lie on it but if I try to stretch you hit your head on the rolled arm. GREAT for a child or really someone 12 and under but they advertise as an adult but in reality I don't think a growing boy or an adult could sleep on there...unless they were smaller..Comfortable bed though. REally was. Was an actual BED not some cheezy pull out bed but a true mattress...

Teena had posted this on the former BC thread- there's still a lot of July left, so I thought this might be helpful to some of the folks who will be staying in the next few weeks:

Is it true that some of the Beach Club - Club level rooms still have double-size beds? Definitely don't want to pay deluxe, club level prices and take a chance on getting double-size beds!

Is it true that some of the Beach Club - Club level rooms still have double-size beds? Definitely don't want to pay deluxe, club level prices and take a chance on getting double-size beds!

Yes, although there are only a very few rooms at the BC (including one or two up on the fifth floor) that do still have double beds in them. However, they are usually given to guests with two people in the room or if there is also a daybed in there, maybe three people in the room. If a real long shot happened and you got one of those rooms, you just need to request a room change.

I've been reading that refurbishment on the YC rooms began in June with the 5th floor rooms. If I were to book YC CL for mid-August, could I expect to get a "new" room?

The new ones at the BC can sleep an adult!

Thanks Teena!!! I was asking because we are a party of 5 and we are considering to switch our reservation to the Beach Club, we tried the BWI last year and we loved but we also want to stay at the BC.

New daybeds...Well BWI has a neat one that is a couch that flips into a twin bed. They advertise it is adult sleepable but I am 5'9 and can lie on it but if I try to stretch you hit your head on the rolled arm. GREAT for a child or really someone 12 and under but they advertise as an adult but in reality I don't think a growing boy or an adult could sleep on there...unless they were smaller..Comfortable bed though. REally was. Was an actual BED not some cheezy pull out bed but a true mattress...

Thanks Scottmel, you gave all the answers I needed, I just ask that question at the BWI thread.

johnsonnet - I posted on the YC refurbed not too long ago...There is another thread on the YC. I was told was short of a disaster they would have all rooms updated by the end of October. Someone also posted some pics but the rooms didn't look totally finished to me - bedding wasn't completed yet...I booked for early December at YC. First trip there...
