Great airfare!!! And you have totally nailed some of the most important reasons for a stay at the Beach Club.
I believe you have posted before, but if it has been awhile, back
Nice of you to help out your friends- we have been asking guests to post their experience of staying at the resort during the refurbishment work. We have been told that the work will be done with the least amount of disruption possible to guests. Areas of the resort may be taken out of service when work is being done in those parts of the building.

Thank you for posting this!!!
So glad your family is having a fantastic time! Thanks for reporting about the parking access.
I feel your pain!!! I have been having major battles with the DIS over the past few days with posting pictures and editing posts.
The very last subforum here on the DIS is "Technical Issues".
I need to update the information in the "How do I?" Section of my Other Useful Information post with the new features on the DIS, but I need to understand them first!!!
I did not know this, but I love it!!! I actually tried it quoting a post above and it didn't work, but I will try try again!
Thanks!!!
I'll make the changes to the front page info where I discuss views.
A very excited home to you!!!
I am so happy for your family!

Yes, still the case (pardon the pun) when you order water from Staples or anyplace else that delivers with UPS or FedX. Cases of water (24 pack of 12 oz. Dasani water) are available at the Marketplace for $16. Turner drug delivers for a small fee. I have a section in either the FAQ (Post 13) or Other Useful Info (Post 14) with options for water delivery.
back.
I'll pencil you in on the BOG list.
Hopefully some of our running experts can give a convincing argument to book BC over Poly for the Wine & Dine Dash. I will just say "easy access to Food & Wine fest offerings..."
Thanks for the great reports!!!

I guess it's time to post that we are heading back to the world, quite unexpectedly. I had planned only DL this year (and we will be there June 2-9). But the lure of the 24 hour day, combined with SWW, got me to plan a short trip to WDW too. And to buy an AP so we can make more short trips. Well, the $59 each way airfare out of Atlanta had a lot to do with that too. Who can pass up such cheap airfare?
Anyway, we are heading to BC, Garden view room, 5/21 to 25. Cast is Me, DH and DGD7
It's our first stay at BC/YC. I picked it for ease of access to HS for SWW and to be able to run in the back gate to WS for some good eats.

Does anyone know what the online check-in options are for the Beach Club villas? Some friends are going in May and I'd like to help them with online check-in. I'm a bit worried about the BCV refurbishment starting now. Do you think it will be very disruptive?

From WDW Magic:
MagicBands to be used in place of parking permit paperwork for resort guests
The traditional parking permits that are issued for Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests are soon to be discontinued.
Beginning the roll-out today at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resort, the parking permits will no longer be handed out at check-in, with guests now being asked to use their MagicBand for parking access.
Thank you for posting this!!!
Just got back from a delicious day at Typhoon Lagoon. When we arrived back and drove through the gates, they scanned our magic band for entry for the first time. Our gate guard also said "welcome home" which was music to my ears. I'll see if they scan magic bands when we head to Animal Kingdom in the morning. I like how easy the magic band makes everything. We are heading to Downtown Disney this evening so the boys can have some time at Disney Quest while we wander around and have a few bevvies. I managed to snag a ressie for a last night dinner at O'hana tomorrow night through MDE so we are all looking forward to that. We will hit Blizzard beach for a few hours on Friday after check out and then start the drive back north. This has been the best trip ever!
So glad your family is having a fantastic time! Thanks for reporting about the parking access.
Trying to quote part of a post and that ended in disaster. I couldn't even figure out how to cancel my post before sending it! Where are the instructions for these boards for those of us who are technically challenged? I thought there used to be a link but I couldn't find it.

The easiest way to quote part of a post is to highlight the part that you want to quote and then hit either the +quote or the reply that appears in the bubble that appears below the highlighted part. It is a new way to post and a little confusing.

These are now the non Club Level room types on Disney's booking engine - slight change.
- Standard View
- Garden or Woods View
- Lagoon or Pool View
Thanks!!!

I'm back! It's been a looooooong 4 years since our last WDW trip. I didn't think we'd be heading back for quite some time, so now I'm re-educating myself on everything that's changed since we were there last. We'll be at the BC July 29-August 4
I had a quick question-when we were last there in 2011, we ordered water from Staples and had it delivered before we arrived. DH had to go over to a conference area at the YC to pick it up and bring it back to the BC. Is this still how it works, or do they deliver it to your room? I'm ordering 2 cases this time. Thanks in advance!!!
A very excited home to you!!!

Well, I'm back! Booked another room via rundisney for the wine & dine half in Nov. at BC. I tried for yacht this time but they weren't offering the discount there.
Now when this all started, I was planning on the much cheaper route of renting points for BCV or BWV, but the weekend of the 6th is already booked up as of what the agency said 2 weeks ago So right now I am considering if I should check again at the 7 month mark to see if anyone drops their room and moves, or I could also do a Poly studio for about $400 less than my BC ressie. BUT my rundisney room at BC qualifies as a package for Disney visa giving me 6 months 0% interest, so it really wouldn't come due until about April 2016.
That was a long way of asking you guys to convince me that I should keep my more expensive BC reservation
back.
I'll pencil you in on the BOG list.
Hopefully some of our running experts can give a convincing argument to book BC over Poly for the Wine & Dine Dash. I will just say "easy access to Food & Wine fest offerings..."
So on day 5 of the trip and it has been magical! we have had HOT weather and although we came from 30 below zero 2 weeks before we flew out and hoping for warm weather I didn't expect this! WOW!
I can't imagine being in this place in July! I was reading just above about people going rope drop to close and I cannot imagine. I love our mid day breaks at SAB. The pool is amazing.
We had a delicious dinner at BOG last night. So exciting for my DD. She was spellbound. Interesting when we went to check in to BOG there were people trying to get a table same day. They were dumbfounded you needed a reservation. My reservation was 6 months old! I mean it is a bit crazy how far in advance you need to plan a disney trip, but that's half the fun! We had beaches and cream for dinner tonight which was fine. Really it is all about the ice cream!
We are off to hoop-dee-do tomorrow a first for us.
Thanks for the great reports!!!
