Hoping to add to it in three months.

Hope all goes well with the work on the house. Sounds like you definitely need a vacation!

I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list on Page 1.

Not sure if you have posted before.

Also, I have a question. This past August, dh and I took a kidless trip and stayed at the YC. I've been trying to figure out what kind of room we had, to no avail! Sadly I didn't take a pic. It had a king bed, with a couch, chair, coffee table, and desk, and a wet bar. The sinks were in the bathroom as opposed to the typical layout where they're outside the toilet/shower area. Any guesses? We did try to upgrade to CL at check-in, but were reserved for GV.

Thanks, and I'm excited to be a part of this group!

I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.

Still interested in knowing what kind of room you had. Sounds awesome for a couples trip.

With the flights booked its a official start to a count down! All of the pictures everyone is posting lately is making me want to start packing now! I am over the moon excited because my sister and her kids are going the same week we are with the same deal. It's their first disney trip.

I am dreaming of me, my mom, & my sister sipping sunken treasure relaxing at the SAB is getting me threw looking out my window to SNOW!

200 days out! ADR's here we come

I'll make the adjustment to your listing.



ETA: So, you will be at YC and sister and family at BC? Very cool. Close, but not too close.

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

I'll make the adjustment to your listing.

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!!
annabug

Glad you are officially booked! What a great time of year to go.

I'll add you to the list.

You can do both requests, although you should emphasize your most important request.

"Full balcony, please. If possible, close to lobby"

That way, the room assigner knows what is most important to you.

You can access the pathway to EPCOT by going out the back door of the lobby. Then bang a left before you walk into the lake, and keep going. Just follow the path.

Now I need to change my wdw ressie...they were just closing as I booked flights. Looks like we will have to do a standard view CL the first 3 nights or (YC GV) and then we can switch to a BC garden view on the 12th of May for the rest of the trip. Hoping someone will cancel a GV those first few nights at BC so we can do that the whole time.

Off to redo all my dining ressies!

I'll make the adjustment to the list.

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.

Yes I have free dining plan for 11 nights I've booked in 2012, april in WDW Uk like I'm french and dining plan was free !

Your dining plans sound excellent!

Have you made your reservations? I hope you get what you want. Good luck.

Are you calling or booking online? Do you have to call for the Fantasmic package?

BC?

Here is a link with the info we have about the Deluxe Rooms at the Beach Club.

Beach Club Deluxe, Suites, VP and Presidential Rooms

Room Numbers: I hesitantly post this link. Please use the map with caution as it is outdated, pre resort rehab. The view categories are also different. When this map was created, there were only standard view rooms and water view rooms (no garden view), so many of these rooms now have a different view category than what is indicated on this map.

Note: the map was made before there was a club level lounge at the BC- the lounge is now located on the 5th Floor, near the elevators, where it says ICE.

Sounds good!

What view category have you booked? I know there are rooms in both BC CL SV and BC CL GV that have some views of Illuminations.

Please let us know after your trip if your request was granted.

So I was worried about crowds and also not being able to get a decent price on airfare. Thinking of switching to 10-18 or 11-19. However only lagoon view is available. Not paying extra $700! So we can either switch to YC or do the 11th in a lagoon view, check out and then do the 12-19 in a garden view. Would that be pretty seamless to switch rooms? I don't want it eating into our vacation time. Would it be better to stay at YC the whole time? For some reason YC isn't as exciting for me.

I know right now you are booked at BC, with a switch in view categories during the trip. I think it would be fairly easy to switch rooms, especially if you haven't unpacked much in the first part of your trip.

MickeyT had a trip where he switched from BC to YC and he has said it wasn't bad at all.

But keep looking to see if there are cancellations so you can be booked in the same room for the whole trip.

At the risk of reopening a a storm that has already blown over, I wanted to apologize to logpey. I am sorry that you took offense to my post, no malice or offense was intended. PPs were correct in that I phrased my answer as I did, because I found Dee's reply funny.

It is a quick moving thread, we ALL miss things from time to time. I am truly sorry if you felt picked on. :flower

Thanks also to the mods, for making sure we play nice.

I get what I want, just a few minutes different 10 or 20 minutes
I'm so happy !

Knowing Dannysmom from this and another board I can vouch for her as well. It was definitely meant to be funny.

And BTW I never realized you were from Central NJ? Me too!

Oh, how I wish our YC stay was CL but alas it is not. So do you think IPO can "back date" an ADR? Has this ever been done?

Why, shucks, thank you Ninj (may I call you Ninj?). The abundance of partiers above is overwhelming. I can feel the
May I say in return that your posts often have me laughing out loud (which deeply disturbs the sleeping puppy) and your advice, particularly regarding the use of refillable mugs when leaving Epcot before some of its more pleasurable offerings are consumed, is infinitely valuable. Keep em coming.

Me three! Well, depending on the definition of central NJ. I'm at the tippy top of Somerset County so according to many HS sports and music stuff we're central. Apologies to the -ness of the above statement.

Then we must be very close! I'm in Somerset County just a few miles from the Morris County border. I never know whether to say central or north Jersey here. I feel like either one I use is wrong to someone.

I think we are on the same vacation schedule Last night we hosted a business dinner (dh and I run a company here in US so we are lucky to work together) and somehow my iPhone got passed around, alas our january trip next year is growing, seems everyone was impressed with YC! Thankfully we enjoy our co-workers and associates so we are excited to have a big group!

And - we went to J. Gilberts, a great Steak restaurant here in McLean VA...and DH had memorized the ingredients for Sunken Treasure so three of the ladies (me included of course) were having Sunken Treasures!!!

Love you guys on this thread - im such a happy Sunken Treasure girl

Okay, then we're in the same town or neighboring towns. I know what you mean about how to describe it - North Jersey, in people's minds, is Bergen, Union, Essex...but central should be Mercer, Monmouth, etc. Wow, this must be fascinating reading to non-NJers. So, obligatory BC/YC topic:
If you were going to do one table service meal at BC/YC which restaurant would you choose? You can compare apples to oranges, if the best hamburger is better than the best lobster than the hamburger joint wins. Also, would you do dinner or lunch. I know this is subjective, but I love other peoples opinions!!!
