I'm leaving for my daughter's to help her transition from her present 2nd grade class to her new 2nd grade class on August 18th. I won't be back at work until August 30th. She teaches at a very low income 12 month school. I get to help her sanitize the room, desks, chairs, etc. and set up for the new class and then help with the new class as an aide for the first few days of the new school year.
I'm not sure but I think the new breakfast at Beaches & Cream starts at 7:00 AM. Will verify on Saturday when I get back to work. I was invited to drive in this morning for a "test/preview" but it's too far (50 minutes) and too early (7 AM) to go in after working 4 days in a row.
I agree with everybody that it will be well received. Nothing is permanent at Disney as you all know. If it is well received, I would imagine it will stay ... like the movies on the beach. If they don't get positive feedback about it (that's a hint for all of you to write letters after trying it) then it will most likely go away.
Think about it though ... there is nothing like this over at Boardwalk either so I would imagine Boardwalk people on the food plan that want to use a quick service for breakfast will all be coming over too! The whole Epcot Resort area needed something like this ... that's why I'm so excited about it.
Teena, it was a pleasure meeting you when we were there!
This is huge and I'm so excited!!!!!
Starting this Friday, they are serving a Counter Service or Quick Service (whatever you want to call it) at Beaches & Cream every morning. They have an eggs, bacon and toast platter, a pancakes and bacon platter, an omelete and a few other items including some children platters. Prices are very reasonable and it also counts as a Quick Service/Counter Service on the meal plan. The manager there told me that the cut off is 11 AM sharp. Even if there is a line, at 11 AM sharp, no one else gets served, even if you are next in line. This is because they have to turn it completely around for the lunch service at Beaches & Cream and of course after 11 AM, anything you get there is back to being a Table Service on the meal plan.
I think this will go over wonderfully and is a fantastic addition to the Y&B Club!!! I'm really excited about it!

Hi, this is our first venture away from WL. We booked a studio at BCV. I would like a view of Epcot if possible. From what I can see all BCV rooms have pretty spacious balconies, is that right? No standing room only ones? Also we have DS3 the quick climber so we would like a regular balcony as opposed to one that is obstructed--he does not need extra reason to climb to see the view.... How should I request this on my ressie? I know nothing is guaranteed....as a matter of fact we never go our requests at WL but still great visits....TIA

Make your reservation as soon as possible. Then if a "deal" comes up later, you can modify/switch it to the "deal". Since you are booking two rooms on one reservation and the second room is for your minor children, you will definitely get connecting rooms, no worries. "Ground floor near epcot walkway please" would be a perfect request. Since you have to get connecting rooms, you might not get your location requests met since that limits us greatly as to where the rooms will be. Remember, we would have to have two connecting rooms that are open for check-ins on the day you check-in in the location you want. Yes, there will be two connecting rooms for you but will they be where you want them? We will try obviously but it's all a numbers game. Two connecting rooms open on your check-in day on the ground floor near Epcot might not be available. Rest assured though that the room assignors will try!
Hello Teena! Welcome back! I think you might be away when we come for a short visit 7/28-30.
I do have a question or two for you... Are the deluxe club level rooms a far distance from the elevators that will take us to the fifth floor lounge? I have three kids and was wondering how far a walk it was. Also, are those rooms far from the entrance of SAB? We are staying resort only and will be napping in room, snacking in lounge and swimming all day long. TIA
Not to hijack from the excitement over the new breakfast option -- which I definitely share! -- but...
We will be arriving for 5 nights at BCV on August 16. Does anyone know if the BCV rooms have been recently renovated? If so, any specific rooms or floors we should request? We have booked a 2 bedroom unit.
Thanks!
Teena, thanks for the infomation about breakfast! My son wakes up everyday asking for pancakes (not that I make them)! It will be great for me to be able to get them for him easily.
Could you let me know what is the best way to make a room request?
Ideally I would like to be close to the lobby and would love a real balcony. I'm not that concerned about the view and don't mind having to use the elevator. How difficult of a request is this?
Thanks!!!
