Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

[natebenma]

We are here in Orlando. Taking an afternoon break. Uneventful travel- my favorite kind. Mi*vida*loca. Was so sorry to hear about you travel woes.
Crowds seem low at us. From 11-3, mummy, men in black, lunch at leaky cauldron, gringotts with 30 min wait at 1 pm, men in black, transformers, mummy and minions with 7 min express pass wait.

Hope the crowds are equally thin for you folks at Disney right now. Don't want to jinx but no rain yet today. I may have just heard thunder though.

HelenB: we have been in a complete sugar free diet for almost 20 weeks!!!

Not only will our waistlines grow but we will be in complete sugar coma for days!!!!!

Just remember to use up all of that extra energy walking everywhere! Don't get into a sugar coma: use the energy to bounce off of the walls! Think Tigger rather than Eeyore.

Not sure if it was reported already, but BC refurbed rooms on the first floor by the Epcot walkway are open to guests now! We're on second floor, and finally see some guests in those rooms

Great! I wonder if that means the refurb is done?

Pastina Noodle!!! I was wondering what she was up to. Did she run away from home to a Yoga retreat in Greece? I'll bet Penne's in College now. Every time we take a college tour we look for her in the aquatic centers.

They are bringing in a new plane but we won't leave until about 3. The plane gets here at 225.

With that came another voucher for $100 each so basically my flights were free.

This is so frustrating but better to be safe than sorry. I'm glad they caught the issue.

Idk about BOG. We will go to the podium if we are late and beg but if not I made an "insurance" ADR for our last day just in case of something like this.

Hope the next check-in is from DME!!!

Enjoy!!! We did Gringotts twice in the afternoon, both 15-20 min. waits. I blame the heat...but it worked out for us

We are here in a wonderful lake view room at YC! Very happy with room. Room is in good shape and no complaints at all!

I might be switching my Dec stay from Poly to BC; waiting to hear back from TA, which probably won't be until tomorrow. I wanted to do a monorail for the first time in 4 years and the Poly has such great breakfast options, but with the monorail refurb 6 out of 8 park days will be a stressful guessing game of how I am making it to MK or Epcot. At BC prob solved as I know I can walk to Epcot amd bus to MK (seems I would be bussing to MK from Poly anyway to make rope drop). But they have to have availabilty for my magical deal for me to swap.

 

[Rosebud123]

We are on plane number 2 fingers crossed !

Just checked the Poly thread to see if you made it! Hope you have an awesome room to make up for a bad start.

Has the weather been really bad tonight? It looks like flights were diverted to Atlanta, Tampa, Jacksonville, etc. due to WX at MCO.

 

[ocalla]

mi*vida*loca: I really hope you made it "the happiest place on earth", sounds like you could use a HUGE drink from Trader Sams by now!!!!!

Dee: so happy the lines are so short for HP land!!!!!

 

[dreamseeker9]

Our 30 day Mark is tomorrow, yay!!!

So our flight took off and had to diverted to Atlanta due to weather. After 45 minutes we took off and we just landed at MCO. We are on DME now headed to the poly for 5 nights.

To top it off the plane that we were originally on was repaired and took off before our new plane did!!!! We would've taken off first but there was a paperwork issue with our flight. Apparently the wrong captain was on our flight info and it took SW almost an hour to fix it. The pilot was so upset.

I will be contacting SW soon about all of this.

I still haven't received a text about my room at the poly. So it's a waiting game now. The suspense is killing me!

We're just happy to be here. Had to change some plans around. Going to hit MK for EMH tomorrow instead of Epcot.

 

[ocalla]

Just try to put all this behind you, look forward, and have a fantastic vacation!!!!

Glad you made it to Orlando safely. Wishing you and your family lots and lots of magic and pixie dust on this vacation!

We definitely will.

While we're on DME Wishes was going off and we got to watch while driving to the poly. So after everything they really raised our spirits. The driver even slowed down for us.

This is a sign that the rest of the trip will be truly magical! You will all probably sleep really well tonight and be ready to get down to the business of having lots of fun starting tomorrow.
