We are staying in a 2 bedroom villa (6 of us) July 30th-Aug 4th. Hope our room is renovated, also already requested 2 queens in second bedroom. Not sure I will get that request. I think we will be driving from Chicago. Any idea how much the parking by day is? If we want to leave to get groceries or something do they just charge by day?
As a previous poster pointed out, there is no parking fee at Disney resorts unless you are doing the valet parking. You will have a parking fee for the Universal portion of the trip if you are staying onsite.
Not sure what the options for requesting bedding configurations is at the villas-
DVC friends, can you help here?
So excited, I just booked a last minute spring break trip March 24-April 2 for our kids (it's a surprise)! They will be super excited and we decided on the Beach Club again. We had an amazing time the last time we went in late August/early September2014 for 12 days.. I'm a little nervous that the crowds are going to be brutal, as we have always gone in September to avoid them, but this trip we decided will be for relaxation and just some fun since we have practically done everything there is to do at the Parks. My kids Loved Stormalong Bay! I think my favorite resort has changed from the Poly to the Beach Club! Any new info. I should be aware of since September 2014?? Please add me to the Be Our Guest List!!
back!!!
Glad to add you to the list!
Well, the biggie is that the rooms have all been renovated since your last trip. There is now an afternoon bus that goes directly from the resort to the front of EPCOT, but that is not especially useful. I think it has something to do with transportation to the water parks. Also, Teena the greeter has moved to Las Vegas.
I can't think of any other big changes off the top of my head.
Can anyone else think of any changes?

ETA: A thread started on the resorts board reminded me... no more towel animal creations at WDW resorts.
Hey guys! My SO and I are planning a first trip for my first visit and her returning trip to WDW in January 2017. We have been flipping between resort ideas, but I think we might be settled for Beach Club! Before we book, I wanted to look into more of the resort and I have to admit, I love the new look for the rooms. Very modern and tasteful.
I noticed a lot of the rooms are 2 queen beds at the BC, but there is an option for king room. We are just looking for a standard king room, but how hard is it to request and obtain a King bed room? My SO and I are sharing a Full Size bed until we move to our next apartment, so when we travel, I always try to make an attempt to get a king size bed. Having 2 beds in one room seems crowded for us too. It's silly really. But my only request for a room is a nice King bed to rest in. It's probably very limited at all deluxe resorts?
to the thread!
As Woodnymph describes, there are a limited number of king beds at the resort. We are really not sure how many. There is no way to guarantee a room with a king bed, but you can certainly request one and at checkin, you can ask if your room has a king bed. If it does not, you can see if there is another room available that does, or when one will become available if you are willing to switch.
Are the coffee pots in the YC still the kind that take the Senseo pods? The filter pods, not the Keurig type?
And is there good coffee the Brew House or regular Disney coffee?
to the thread!
Have you booked a trip or are you still in the decision stages?
Yes, still the pod machines.
I'll post a picture of the coffee set up (or you can see it on Page 1, Post 14, I think).
I am a coffee addict, but not a snob. The coffee is okay, nothing to write home about. Not so bad that I have taken the time to find my own coffee pods to bring.
I might agree to chaperoning my DS15's WDW trip at that time....for now I've been changing away for summer. As of now, right, now I'll be at AKL CL in early August
