Thanks everyone for your comments about shopping services. If I get ambitious, I may requote all of these posts and link the post as a review in the front page post about the grocery delivery options.
Just thought I would pass it along since I haven't seen anything official yet...but the Winter/Spring Disney Visa stay/play/dine and room only discount was released this morning for those who have a Disney Visa. Assume it will be open to the general public in the next few days. Don't know specific dates/resorts, etc., but I was able to book it no problem this morning. We are heading to WDW in March for my daughter's sports tournament at ESPN, staying two nights on property then the rest at a condo offsite. But alas, the Beach Club was way out of our price range for this particular trip....two nights in a standard view with the discount was $747.....ouch. Booked a Preferred room at CBR instead (we stayed there on our honeymoon 24 years ago!), saved almost $350. Will miss my little slice of heaven for those two days, but trying to be fiscally responsible this trip!
Thanks so much for the heads up!
Sorry you won't be at the BC, but I'm sure you will have a great time on the trip. I know I'm looking forward to my stay at ASMo with 130 teens!
So excited.
First time staying with Vacation Club and its at Beach Club. Just a studio, but hey, I've got to start small.
We don't go until December, but I am loving this thread. SOOOO much great information.
and so glad to hear you are enjoying this thread!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1.
Please add me to the Be Our Guest list: Jan 9-12 YC CL deluxe room. This is Marathon Weekend, but we're going for my DH's birthday, not the Marathon. We went last year, same weekend & were able to get an AP discount at BC CL. Unfortunately, both Y&BC seem pretty booked for that weekend this year. My DH actually prefers YC - I was able to get the Visa discount, but it is a very small discount for the deluxe room. Maybe 8% or so. Oh well, guess that's the price I have to pay for having a husband who likes Disney deluxe resorts as much as I do!
I will keep looking tho. Maybe some folks will leave YC for other resorts when the discount goes public & more inventory will open up at YC. A girl can dream right??
back!
Will do!
Hopefully a different room (and better discount) will appear for you!
Add me for Jan 29-Feb 6! Yacht Club GV!! First time staying there!
I am happy to add you to the list!
Did it as soon as I read your comments!
This time tomorrow we'll be checking into BCV

Have a fantastic trip!
Hi-We will be checking in earlier than I anticipate our room will be ready. We would like to use the pool. Is there anywhere to get changed at SAB? Thanks!
Unfortunate they no longer let you use the locker room at the spa. There are rest rooms in the walkway between Yacht & Beach Clubs that are clean & well kept. You can change there. Also there are rest rooms on the pool deck-- kind of to the left as you look at Hurricane Hannah's. If I remember correctly, they may have a changing area there. But I usually find that rest room to be a bit messy/ wetter. More people coming in dripping from the pool. So maybe not the best option.
That is great advice. I used the inside restroom near Beaches & Cream to change into dry clothes when I went for a swim before my flight home. There was nobody else in the bathroom at that time. I have also used the poolside restroom to change, and like you said, it was wet (and gross)
We've used GardenGrocer twice in the last two years and have only run into a snag last september when they delivered a half gallon of 2% milk instead of chocolate milk. After a quick call they delivered the correct item to our room within an hour. We are using them again in Nov and hopefully will continue to have good service.
Having the service while staying in a BCV is definitely worth it. We eat breakfast in our room before heading to the parks except for the 1 character breakfast we have set up. Also to have snacks/water readily available saves money so we don't need to buy items in the park or drink the Florida water.
and thanks for your comments.
Doesn't look like I have you on the guest list, so I will add you. November? BC?
Please add us to the BOG list for Aug. 11-22, 2015. This will be our first time staying at the Beach Club and our first time at a WDW deluxe resort. I am excited to stay here and I know my kids will love Storm Along Bay. Next August cannot get here soon enough. Thank you.
I'll add you to the list.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Pencil me in for the BC for August 16-23 next year. I'll be there with my oldest (otherwise known as the drama llama) and youngest (code name Bionic Baby). I'm going to try to convince my sister to come along. She keeps the thermostat in her office set at 85, so August in Orlando should be a piece of cake. My middle two kids have said no way to that heat and I'm not even asking my husband because I know the answer.
That's great!!!
I'll pencil you in.
Definitely booked for July 29-August 11 at BC! So excited for a nice, long, relaxing vacation. Was contemplating a split stay, but DD (will be 7) loves SB and I love Epcot.

Got it! I'll add you to the list.
Is it worth the $$$ to stay beach club during Xmas week, as last year we swam maybe once @ contemporary? Thanks!
Good question, but hard to answer since the value of a stay at the BC is such a subjective choice. If the pool is the primary draw for your family, then maybe a winter stay is not the best time to enjoy the resort.
It is hard to know what the weather will be like in December- it can vary greatly even in the same week. One day may be shorts and t-shirts and the next may be sweatshirt and jeans.
The pool is heated, so usually the hardest part of a winter swim is when you get out of the water into the cool air.
There are other advantages to the Beach Club, like the 5 minute walk to the World Showcase in EPCOT, walk or boat ride to Hollywood Studios and the beautiful holiday decorations, including an amazing gingerbread carousel, in the lobby.
So I am a little out of the loop.....Hoping to keep up soon!
It would have been fun to tour together.
