Hi,
Has anyone stayed at the Beach Club before while pool maintenance was ongoing? Do they erect fences around the area being worked on, or is it all out in the open? Does it really detract from the pool's theme?
I booked there specifically for the lazy river, and now it looks like that whole area will be down during my stay.
I can't find any pics online to see what past renovations have looked like.
Thanks
Hi Everyone!
What an amazing thread! I love this community! Excited for our first stay at the YC Sept 2015 before our cruise. I'm wondering, do you think it will be in full blown renovation? Do you think the BC may be done by then? I'm strongly considering changing my reservation to the BC ? What do you guys think?
Thanks!!!
The letter being sent out to guests is about the pool maintenance which will be taking place after the first of the year, so you won't be receiving a letter. To the best of my knowledge, they have not been sending letters out about the room refurbishments. This guest received a letter because their trip is in January.
Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I'll stay posted on this thread..completely addicted!
We'll be there Sept 12-14 (a quick trip to MNSSHP) before the Disney Dream ))

We have been to the BC many times when there was pool maintenance and it wasn't very obtrusive. It was a little disappointing, though, not to have the pool slide or the lazy river, but there was always part of the pool open. And Hurricane Hannah's was always open, as well as the quiet pools.
I have read on the DVC boards that the Beach Club villas will be refurbed after the Beach Club, so I would guess that they won't get to the YC for awhile. I would think that most of the Beach Club would be finished by Sept 2014.
It was about the construction. I did not make any requests. I think it is being sent to all guests-it was a generic form letter with my specific dates (I believe). My stay is for Dec. 19-23.
I got the same form letter about construction. I think it said from 10 am to 4 pm.
Great!
I'll add you to the list.
Thanks for sharing your past experience.
Everything I have seen has said that the work on the villas will happen while the rehabs on the rooms at the BC and YC are taking place. When the BC is at some stage of completion, like half-way through or 75% done, the villas will be started. Work will probably still be going on when the BC is finished and the work on the YC has started.
The only letter I have seen was specifically about the pool rehab. I haven't seen a general one about the rehab work. I would love to see a copy of the letter if either of you is willing to scan and post it or email it to me. My yahoo account is beachclubdee.
I know there have been several asking about the dates of the annual pool maintenance that takes place every year at SAB.
I found this on DVCNews.com.
We are staying at the BCV's from January 8th - January 12th and have not received an official letter confirming this but thought I would pass this along.

Villas rooms at Disney's Beach Club are also expected to be the target of renovations sometime in 2015. Exact dates have not yet been revealed. Work is currently under way on hotel rooms at the resort.
Hope this helps.

I hope everyone in our DIS BC/YC family had a great Thanksgiving, or for our friends north of the border, across the pond or down under, a great Thursday and Friday!

I can't scan, but did just send you a photo of the rehab letter. No dates are on it (read it quick, couldn't remember). Form letter.
We stayed at the BCV from November 16-22 (2 bedroom #552). Before the trip, I had been concerned about the many comments about run down units and had warned the rest of our party (8 total) to set their expectations. Especially since we arrived right from a Disney Fantasy cruise sandwiched by 1-night stays at the GFV (also 2 bedroom). We were lucky to get a very nice unit that everyone loved, and the feedback was unanimously the hallways, store, lobby and everything else that we saw was in very nice shape. In the nitpicking department, there may have been a tiny bit of rust (i.e. 1/16" stripe) at the bottom of the stove and a few scuff marks at the sharp corners in the doorways, but everything was certainly in a much nicer shape than I had expected in advance. I would have been disappointed about a room like some of those others have posted pictures of so perhaps we were just lucky.
Aw this is what I love so much about the people on this thread Everyone is included and welcomed no matter where they hail from
Thanks Dee
Any word on BC CL refurb completion? We check in tomorrow and are currently enjoying a lovely stay at GF RPC--I'd hate to end our trip on a disappointing note.

just did it this morning. No problem.84 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Question about Captains Grille...what's the likelihood of just walking in for Breakfast? Not a fan of committing to a morning ADR if we feel we have enough fuel to go straight to the parks
