Gantu:

Congrats!!! I wondered if anyone of the Dis members were goign to win one of those.

You will love planning a trip to BC/YC, except that the trip always ends up with ".......when can we start planning our next trip to BC/YC"

Have fun

Yes, I can answer your question (which was, in fact, MY very first question here on this forum)

The answer is Cuisinart Pod Machine


From the Other Useful Information Section on Page 1:

What kind of coffeemakers are in the resort rooms?

As of October 2011, the drip coffee makers in the BC and YC resort rooms were replaced.

The regular resort rooms and club level rooms (including Deluxe Rooms) now have the Cuisinart Double Pod Machines:



Thanks for the photos Rorey, Cinderumbrella and MickeyT!

Here is what I believe are in the rooms currently. Anyone who has been there more recently, please correct this info if it is wrong:

All regular (non-club level) rooms: Cuisinart Pods

All standard club level rooms, all views (standard meaning non-suite), including Deluxe Club Level Rooms: Cuisinart Pods

Suites (1 BR, 2 BR, VP, Presidential Suites): Keurig K-cup

Beach Club Villas- Mr. Coffee-type makers (4 cup for studio, 10 cup for 1BR, 2BR)

I think this applies to both BC and YC- again, let me know if I am wrong!

Thanks. Yes, we're booked for August.

Question: If the BC/YC is completely booked up, how busy is it at the resort? In the concierge lounge? I'm assuming that Disney amps up their service to make sure guests are taken care of.

I'm booked 8/31 through 9/7. I believe the resort is fully booked the Labor Day weekend only. Will it be ok?

Its a great read when the blues set in. Everyone seems so kind and funny and just really helpful. Thank you truly!

The Beach Club is my dream resort! A few years back we downscaled our lives so the Beach Club has not been in reach, that's okay! I've stopped by every time we've been at Disney.

Sometimes just to walk around and just take it all in.

Earlier this month I found out I won one of the Disney Time sweepstakes... I swear the first words out of my mouth were "Can we stay at the Beach Club?" LOL!

I'll have to wait until next month when Disney contacts me to plan the trip. I'm most excited about the possibility of staying at the Beach Club. (Early June.. we hope!)

Anyways, I'm going off topic- I really wanted to say thank you and I hope to be back to plan our trip with all you super nice people!

I love Saratoga Springs, NY!! My husband was stationed there when he was in the Navy and I spent a summer there with him before we were married!! I have such fond memories!!! Laid on the ground across from SPAC one night after a Melissa Ethridge concert looking up at all the stars!!!

I think so!

I haven't been that time of year, but since many southern schools have already started, and most northern schools are in session Sept 3 or earlier, you will definitely see a dip in the crowd level for most of your trip.

I have to think that the resort will be equipped and ready for a full house, as they are during other busy times like spring break, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We will be coming back to stay for our honeymoon 11/10-11/18, We got engaged when staying at the beach club on 1/1/12 so there wasn't a doubt in my mind which resort I wanted to stay at for the honeymoon.

[pamkat1820]

My sister booked her trip!!!! I am so excited for her its their first trip to disney and she is staying at the BC CL August 23-30th. I have the best of both worlds I get to take my family on vacation and my sister will be there the same time. We tried to get them a room at YC but they sold out of room at our TA. I'm still happy I can't wait to see my niece and nephew faces at they see the castle for the first time. I am considering moving my dates to match hers...... Hmmmm

Can't I just say thank you everyone for being so welcoming to all the new comers. I have been on other threads for other resorts and been afraid to post because of the ppl on the thread . This thread has the nicest group of ppl I have encountered on the dis in my opinion! - thanks everyone!
