What time is Chef's. Maybe we could meet right after I work for a little bit ... then you go to Chef's and I could head home. Is anybody else going to be around on the 30th?

I would love your opinions about what I should do for online check-in. We are a party of 8 all staying in one 2 bd villa. However, it really includes 3 separate groups: my in-laws, my BIL and his girlfriend, and my immediate family. Online check-in only allows me to put one credit card on file for everyone, but we really need it to be separate for charging purposes.
Would you go on and check in online and change the credit card part later or wait and not check in at all, and lose any chance at requesting a pack-n-play and where we want the room to be? Part of me will stress over not checking in online because I'm a planner and want it done early (and would love to get to our room faster after a day at Universal), yet part of me is worried that if I do this now, it may mess up all of our magic bands when we change it later.
What are your thoughts?

Personally I wouldn't do online check in. I'd call and add your location request to your reservation. Either DVC or CRO according to where you booked. Then call back at 5 days to make sure your request are still there.
Then at checkin I would have all involved there with their magic bands and explain to the CM what you want to do. I hear you can do this after but it is much easier to get it taken care of at checkin.
This may not be the fastest but I personally would want to know the cards and bands are correctly assigned.

Thanks for the responses about the SV Club Level rooms. Unfortunately someone snatched up the GV room before I could change. I used the room finder on Touring Plans and they show a handful of rooms that face east and west on the lake side of the resort. Hopefully what they show on their website is accurate. I emailed IPO and asked them to put the room request on my reservation. I figured if we don't get the request we can always inquire when we check in about upgrading. Not getting a perfect view will not be the end of the world. I'm just thankful my DH can join us on this trip and we are all excited to be staying at Beach Club. We usually stay at WL, but my kids and I fell in love with BC when we went to Cape May for dinner in February. Please add us to the list for 06/04 thru 06/10.

I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1 of this thread.
I don't have any experience with ordering items not on the menu. My inclination is to believe that the restaurants will do whatever they can to accommodate you, but if the CRT meals are pre-plated, that could make it difficult.

I'll add you to the list. Hope you enjoy the Beach Club for your special celebrations.

Yes and no... There is definitely a take out window where you can get ice cream, but milkshakes have been taken off the menu. My opinion is that it never hurts to ask if you want something different and if it is not too busy, maybe they will serve some other items.

Please let us know if you book a stay and I will add you to the Be Our Guest list.
There are more pictures to see in Post 12 of this thread. Offerings at BC and YC CL are the same.
Not sure why there is no availability at YC for your parents for those dates. Keep checking.
Yacht club will probably be undergoing renovations at that time, but I would think it would be club level rooms worked on at that time, so that confuses me even more.
Good suggestion.
back!
When is your trip and is it Beach Club or Yacht Club. Just wanted to make sure you know that only about half of the rooms at the Beach Club have full balconies.
I have two threads in the Resort Photo subforum- Yacht Club Room Views and Beach Club Room Views with samples of view in each category provided by past guests.

I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
Yes, as you suspect and others have replied, the renovations are happening top down. The 5th floor (club level) and 4th floor are done. Work currently on 3rd floor.
You probably want to request "Upper floor please"

Safe travels!
Got it! I'll add your day.
Many of the standard rooms are situated above the lobby, so they are close to elevator and other amenities like transportation and SAB, but some of the SV rooms are probably near the end of hallways, away from the central areas of the resort.

@nanaka Have you tried getting them a reservation at the Beach Club instead? Then at least you could be neighbors and share the same pool and such.
Good suggestion.

Hi BC/YC peeps,
Its been a while since I've checked this forum or the DIS for that matter (the site was blocked at work and with the smartphone app gone I just don't really get a chance to check in). Couple that with the fact that we had to skip our annual trip last yearI have more or less just been passively keeping up on WDW. Well in what is typically our family's style we booked a trip yesterday for just over a month away! If you can please add us to the list that would be awesome. We will be there May 28th thru June 2nd. I'm trying to bring myself up to speed on everything and while I stayed pretty informed on the parks I have not kept up with anything on the resort side. My big question is regarding the renovation work that is going on. We booked a garden view room and my question is did they start renovation on the upper floors first and then working their ways down? Or is there some other pattern? How far along are they now? I know they are still doing work so ideally I'd like to put in some room request so that I could get one of the refurbed rooms. Any help is most appreciated!
Thanks
-Steve

We added a day to our reservation! We will be arriving Sept 1 for five nights
We are booked for a standard room. I know that usually means parking lot or roof view. But what about the locations of the rooms themselves? The hotel looks huge and spread out. Are most standard rooms a pretty long walk from the lobby, pool, exits, etc?
Got it! I'll add your day.

Early Morning Buses and Boats for pre-park opening breakfast
That stinks!!!
This is exactly why I don't have any specific information posted on Page 1 about when the boats or buses start running in the morning. Nobody seems to give consistent answers, including CMs at the resort.
My belief is that yes, there is transportation to get you to breakfast reservations in time. I would get out to the bus stop or boat dock in plenty of time and then if transportation does not arrive by the time you need it to, take a cab that will get you there in time. For an early morning breakfast at MK, take into account a 15 minute cab ride to the Contemporary then a 10 min walk to MK gates.
For the record, I would not be happy if Disney did not provide me with sufficient transportation to get me to a reservation I booked 180 days in advance and then threaten me with a no-show charge.
***********************************************************
Sorry for the scare - we were given bad info. Saw the MK bus at the stop at 7:15 as we drove away in our $15 cab. No one seems to be well informed about the early buses however. We asked the valet guy as we waited for the taxi - he didn't know either so he ran in for us to ask and came back out to say that he asked both people at the desk - one said no early buses anymore - the other said yes but they aren't on a regular schedule. Frustrating no one has a straight answer.
But we did see the MK bus at the Beach Club at 7:15 on a day that the park opened at 9. You will be fine.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa at OKW with a party of seven and each of the adults had created their own MDE account and then we linked them all. They had put their credit cards on their own MDE account. I did online check in for the villa which was under my name, and it worked out fine. The only glitch was that my sister was charged for my son's park tickets and she had to go to the desk to clear it up. But otherwise it worked fine.
But if everyone in your group is on one MDE account, then you can still do online check in with one person's card. Then when you get to the resort, have the other people add their credit cards and pin numbers to their MagicBands at check in.

A have a little more information about the BC room refurbishment that was going on while we were there April 15th to 21st. The area under refurbishment at that time were the rooms numbered 3578 to 3626. The workers had blocked off the work areas with temporary doors and walls. The rooms on the third floor that had been finished were rooms numbered 3501 to 3577. The rooms that hadn't been started yet were the rooms located above the lobby and the restaurants, rooms numbered 3677 to 3728, or whatever is the last BC room, closest to the YC resort.
You could tell which rooms were under construction because they had covered the windows with plastic on the inside. Our room was very close to the temporary door near room 3577 and we saw construction workers all the time. I asked them how the work was going and they said it was going very well. Of course they would say that.
It looked like the access point for all the construction work on that end of the resort was the service area across from room 3577. That is usually just for the housekeepers, but we saw the construction crew coming in and out of it all day long. They only worked on the weekdays.
The area that I circled in green is where the refurbishment work was being done on the third floor while we were there. The area closest to Epcot was finished on the third floor and the area over the lobby and restaurants hadn't been started yet. The fourth and fifth floors are finished.
This is the temporary construction wall that had been built near the main elevators on the third floor. I wasn't able to take pictures of the whole wall, since I was chatting with a lady about the work being done and a housekeeper was set up right in front of the wall. But I did manage these pictures.
This wall continued on to the left and blocked the hallway for that side of the resort.
Our room was just a few doors down from the work area and we had only one day when we heard annoying construction noise, which was the day that the pneumatic chisel was being used somewhere near by. We didn't hear it on any other days. We spent a lot of our afternoons in the the room due to the heat, rain or fatigue, or any combination of the above. You could hear noises, like tapping, as late as 5pm. But the chisel noise ended at 4pm. The people that I talked to who were in the section that was over the lobby and restaurants didn't hear any construction noise. We weren't really affected by the refurbishment work even though we could hear noises, but if our room was above or below the rooms that were receiving heavy work that day, then it would be very annoying. My guess is that the majority of guests would be fine.

In making room requests for the BC, I was advised that a Garden/Woods view room does not qualify for a courtyard view; the room type would need to be upgraded for a courtyard view.
Did they change something? This just does not sound right.
I was thinking of doing that. Thanks for the encouragement, Dee. I will call today.

I have a copy of this post in the Beach Club room view thread: Beach Club Room Views
Beach Club room 3565
king bed, corner room, lagoon view, standing balcony on lagoon side, windows on the other wall
We had booked a garden view room and were given a free upgrade to a lagoon view. We checked in April 15, 2015 and this room had recently been refurbished. This was a corner room and had a king bed. There was a standing balcony and you could watch the people walking by and see across the lagoon to the Boardwalk. You could also see the movie on the beach while looking out the other window. We could see the pirate slide, the Epcot boat at the dock, and the YC along with the beach without even getting out of bed. The side window overlooked the volleyball court. The bathroom only had one sink but was otherwise a great room. We loved it. And the location near the quiet pool and the International Gateway made it very convenient. We had a staircase right next to our room, which we used most of the time.
Because it was a corner room, the room had a very long hallway. The pictures were on this long wall, which was a total waste. It would have been nice if they were in the room itself.
We were very pleased to discover that we had a corner room and a king bed. The room was very light and airy. There was a thick blackout curtain behind the lighter sheer curtain. By the way, that white blanket came from the closet. The housekeeper put it there after she cleaned the room. We didn't get any towel animals, not even the stand Mickey towel. I think it was because the staff was all messed up with the construction. We had a few room cleaning issues because the construction work was close to our room.
The room had two chairs. The rooms above and below this one have a full balcony with the door to the balcony located in the wall that would be next to the nightstand in those rooms.
The refrigerator is in that tall cabinet. This cabinet is located in the hallway in the regular resort rooms. The corner rooms have a different layout then the majority of the resort rooms.
All of the tops of the cabinets, nightstands and dresser had a nonporous surface. Only the desk had a wood surface.
The nightstands and desk had two outlets and two USB ports each. There were enough outlets for the two of us. The light switch for the lamps over the bed was located just to the right of the pillow. Only the person in this location could turn on and off the light. I was glad I had brought a flashlight for my side of the bed. The other switch controlled the fan. The switch for the hallway was near the door to the room. The thermostat was located above this nightstand.
The thermostat was digital and you could choose to display it in Centigrade or Fahrenheit. I think it had a mind of its own because it would lower the room temp to 68 degrees in the middle of the night even though we had set it to 71. I think the motion detector on the unit has some sort of preset temp.
The bathroom only one one sink, which did become a bit annoying at times. There is a really nice nightlight there which shines in such a way that you can find the faucets and glass if you want a drink of water in the middle of the night. There fan in the bathroom wasn't working at this time. There was a blank outlet cover that I am guessing will eventually be the controls for the bathroom fan, since there is a vent for it in the ceiling. Maybe when the rehab is finished they will hook up the exhaust fan.
The TV was in the corner and the dresser had three good size drawers.
The room had a standing balcony and this is the view while sitting on the bed. The bed faced this balcony and you could watch the people and boats go by without even getting out of bed. Although I had requested a full balcony, this turn out to be better. We were looking at the lagoon and this door opened. The corner rooms below this room have regular windows that don't open. The room above this room did not have a window or balcony on the lagoon side of the room.
This is the view from the bed when looking out the side windows. These windows did not open. I could see the beach, the people walking by, the movie on the beach, the Epcot boat at the boat dock, the top of the pirate slide and the YC from the bed. It was great.
This is the view from the balcony. You can see the wedding pavilion and Boardwalk in the distance.
The quiet pool is to the left. We ended up using this pool instead of SAB because it was so convenient. There was a staircase next to our door which is close to this pool. We would go down the stairs and cut through the pool area to get to the International Gateway or to the Boardwalk. It was a great location.
This is the view from the windows on the side of the room when looking toward the beach.
This is the view looking straight out the window. That is SAB behind the trees. And that is the sidewalk to the main entrance of the BC on the lagoon side of the resort.
This is what you see when looking to the right from the windows.
Room 3565 is the one with the standing balcony and the striped awning, closest to the tree on the corner, to the left in this picture. As you can see, the rooms below it had windows that didn't open and the room above it didn't have a window on the lagoon side of the room. I was glad that we got this third floor room even though it didn't have a full balcony. Having a door that opened to the lagoon side of the room was great.
The room is on the third floor, corner room. The rooms above and below have the really long balcony. There is an exit door on the first floor that opens into the bushes. You can go in and out of this door, it had a touchpad on it, but you had to walk through the grass and step over the bushes to do it. I did it once just to see if I could.

We are considering a few days at the Dark Side during our trip next year. Neither DH or I have ever been. I know some of you here have plenty of experience with US - are there any boards on the DIS where I can get some good info on doing a split trip? Thx!

There are the Universal subforums here on the DIS, which are excellent. Not sure if there is anything specifically about doing a split stay but there is a lot of information about travel options between US/WDW if you do not have a car. Earlier this month I posted a link to the transportation info on this thread. We did a split in July 2013- 3 nights at the Hard Rock and 4 nights at the Beach Club. We used Ed Korgan travel to get us from Hard Rock to BC- I think the rate is $85 plus tip (one way) these days. My "Hijinks and Shenanigans" but Not Much Mayhem trip report is from that stay. Ill link the chapters that deal with the transition day.
Read the intro and then these couple of posts
Tuesday July 16, Last Morning at Islands of Adventure
The Beach Club
Welcome Home!
If you are considering an onsite stay at the Dark Side, I have lots of info and pictures of the Portofino Bay in my Welcome Foolish Muggles report and about the Hard Rock in the Hijinks report.
If you have other specific questions, you can ask here or PM me.

Thank you so much for that post @Wood Nymph! One of the reasons we had to skip our trip last year was because DW was in a car accident and shes had a tough time recouping. Shes ready to give it a go but will probably either take a break some of the days or start late and meet me and the boys at the parks. She was so scared that there would be a ton of noise and would not be able to sleep in or relax, hopefully when I tell her this it will ease her fear a bit.

Not sure if there is anything specifically about doing a split stay but there is a lot of information about travel options between US/WDW if you do not have a car. Earlier this month I posted a link to the transportation info on this thread. We did a split in July 2013- 3 nights at the Hard Rock and 4 nights at the Beach Club. We used Ed Korgan travel to get us from Hard Rock to BC- I think the rate is $85 plus tip (one way) these days. My "Hijinks and Shenanigans" but Not Much Mayhem trip report is from that stay. Ill link the chapters that deal with the transition day.
Read the intro and then these couple of posts
Tuesday July 16, Last Morning at Islands of Adventure
The Beach Club
Welcome Home!
If you are considering an onsite stay at the Dark Side, I have lots of info and pictures of the Portofino Bay in my Welcome Foolish Muggles report and about the Hard Rock in the Hijinks report.
If you have other specific questions, you can ask here or PM me.
