Were is everyone today I'm starting to get worried lol. I have never heard about getting a stroller if staying CL. You have peeked my curiosity
I was wondering the same thing!!!! Almost 9 hours without a single post? I thought it was me! Lol
My husband asked me how come I haven't been reading any thing lately. I told him I have the dis,he looked at me strange and walked away.
I been lost today. Is everyone on another thread we don't know about
Yes, today was a bit different, going from 5-8 pages a day to 9 hours without a post!
Was everybody busy trying the Sunken Treasures recipe?
We currently have a reservation booked at the Beach Club Garden View for 10 nights June 14-24. But we are hoping to get the Yacht Club Standard or Garden View We are waiting for a possible deal so we can switch because the color scheme appeals to my party more!
Either way we are bringing bathing suits and making good use of SAB and Cape May.
So I called and changed my reservations last night and instead of a split stay with POR and BC we will be doing the entire 7 night stay at the BC now! I was hesitant because of money but our tax return is pretty awesome this year so we are splurging some more. Thanks to those who answered my questions about club level. We booked Standard at this point and I may just wait until we are there and if they have something better I may consider upgrading but for now we just plan to go deluxe resort the whole time and maybe do a few more character meals for the kids since we have a little extra money.
We will be there May 17 to 24th! Almost to our 100 day countdown and so excited!!!!
Thanks to all the awesome peeps on this thread for answering so many questions and posting pics!
Hi! This is BCV-related... I debated whether to put it in the DVC section but thought I would start here and ask the actual BC gurus first! Let me know if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
I was browsing through old BCV threads on google and came across one from 2009 (around the time they were switching out all of the tube tvs for flatscreens) where someone said a CM claimed BCV was due for a "major refurb" in 2013. Has anyone heard about this? Booking 11 months out makes me curious what the resort will look like when I actually get there! I much prefer the clean white linens of the regular BC rooms but am saving money by going through points.
On a personal note, I stayed at the YC in summer 2011 for a conference and the entire time I wished I was at BC... SO EXCITED! 2014 can't come soon enough.
I love all the details, helpfulness and friendliness on this thread. I'm trying to figure out the best room location to request for my mom and me. We are staying YC garden view.
We would love a full balcony. We like to refill our mugs ~ only places are Ale and Compass until noon, Hurricane Hannahs, and BC Marketplace, right? We would also like to be close to transportation. Any suggestions?
We are working on our flights for our trip. I had the bright idea of coming the night before on a late flight and spending that night at the pop or another value.
Here is my question....we are staying CL for the first time. I am really excited about the whole experience if we don't come in directly on ME to YC will it be a hassle to transfer everything over to the YC? Will we miss out on anything? And how early are we allowed in the lounge on the day u arrive?
Thanks everyone
Was just about to put my deposit down on our May trip and the Standard Views are all gone...least expensive level is Garden View! I guess it was meant to be LOL
You will be able to use the lounge as soon as you check in that morning. Although the lounge is open 24 hours, I think the CMs are around, and the breakfast items are put out at 7 am.
I haven't done the whole transfering from one resort to another thing, but others here have, and I think the process was simple. But if you send your luggage through Bell Services, you may not have access to it until the afternoon. I'm not sure what I would recommend as far as luggage, because if your room isn't ready, you will have to check it in to Bell Services anyway while you are enjoying yourselves at the resort or park.

Considering upgrading to a Lagoon/Pool view.....
We currently have a GV, but I really don't want some back of the woods view. With airline prices being so high I am back and forth on whether this would be worth it. I also don't want to spend the money and then someone says, "well you can see the corner of the pool over there"....and that's my view.
A view has never been a major priority, but being close to the lobby is. According to the link (even though older and possibly not 100% accurate)
http://web.archive.org/web/20110709015029/http://www.disneyzone.net/bcresort.htm there looks like there will be a better chance of getting a room close to the lobby if we upgrade.
If I stay with the GV, it looks like a lot of the rooms will either look over a courtyard on the lagoon side or if on the other side it might be facing EP, if so would we be able to see illuminations?
I guess I'm one of those people that if I could pay a fee (like you do with airlines to pick your seats) I would SOOOOOO pay a fee to WDW to pick out my room ahead of time. We had trips in the past where I was not happy with our room location (the years of the huge Moderate hotels) and it was a pain to relocate the rooms (we used to go at Thanksgiving time). Anyway, now it has turned into one of those pre-trip gitters!
