We have not stayed near the lounge, but there can be a lot of people in that area, or walking by. I do know someone who stayed in the room right next to the lounge and asked to be moved after one night. We've been almost at the far end of the hall in a LV room the last two times, and even though it is a walk to the lounge and elevators, it wasn't that bad - maybe a minute or so at the most. Even being that far away, we still had occasional noise from people walking by, or kids running in the hall.

Personally, I would not want to be near the lounge, but that's just my opinion. I'm sure there are people who like being near the lounge and elevators, for the convenience.

ETA: Forgot to mention that the ice machine and the beverage/food prep service area is across from the first few rooms right by the lounge.

I can make my dining reservations !

It's my first visit and it's a long long trip for me and my family.

This is my choice : What do you think about my selection ?

- crystal palace lunch
- via napoli dinner
- chefs de france dinner
- whispering canyon cafe dinner
- ohana dinner
- pack fantasmic mama melrose
- akershus breakfast
- chef mickey dinner
- Grand Floridian café dinner
- Be our guest
- Teppan Edo lunch

Thank you for your advice !

Who is your "target audience", lol? I counted (1) breakfast, (3) lunches, (7) dinners. Is that what you were planning? Are you dining plan or oop? Character meals? I take a piece of paper a write it out as a calendar for a visual to see where you would be when, and in relation to what park, to see what meal should be where. Nothing's worse then having to trek from one world to the next in a short period of time. I think misjudging travel time is one of the worst mistakes we made as first-timers.

This has probably been answered countless times but just smack me and move on if it's too annoying. My 180 day mark will be in 2 days for the YC part of our trip but for the BWI CL part the IPO is asking me for what ADRs I need. Can they do ADRs for me that are before I get there, in other words for the YC part of our trip?
Oh, and it was the niceness of the people on this thread that convinced me to change my reservation from the Dolphin to YC. I figured if people this nice are posting then people that nice are staying at the BC/YC right?

It didn't have to do with availability. YC CL offers GV or LV for 4+ only. Since we are 5, we cannot book those categories. It's all good, we will be perfectly happy (albeit in close quarters lol) in SV, bc we will be in our happy place!! I was just curious as to why this was...but it was answered (rooms may be slightly smaller).

So glad that we'll finally get the chance to do so before our oldest is off to college in 2014!

Slight change of plans for us: We'll be at POR 8/18 - 8/27 and then YC 8/27 - 8/30.

Thank you to all who keep this thread updated and full of laughs!!! It really does help to pass the time.

If you are going CL to CL then the IPO can make ADRs for both legs of your trip. (In fact, BW and YC/BC use the same IPO office, last I checked

Oh Yea Baby!!
I Did It!!
BC, Lagoon view, October 26-Nov 2
My kids are going to be so excited!
We will be there for Mnsshp and food and wine!!

And I requested a large balcony. I just read the advice about requesting a room near the lobby to also be closer to SAB and the bus stop.

Can I do both requests? I am not familiar with the layout of this resort at all. And thats a little anxiety provoking for me LOL!
Where is the walkway to Epcot located in proximity to the lobby/SAB area?
Thanks everybody!!

Beach Club doesn't have cabanas do they?

I guess you weren't paying attention before when Dee got off this line....

Sorry, had to do it.

Unfortunately, I have never heard of any cabana rentals at Stormalong Bay or any of the other pools at Yacht & Beach.

On a more helpful note- who knows which resorts DO have cabana rentals? The only one I know of is Poly. Do any of the EPCOT resorts offer them? Boardwalk? Swan? Dolphin?
