Somebody asked about the difference between a room at the Beach Club and a studio at Beach Club Villas.
Here's the info on the BCV studios:
A studio will have 1 queen size bed and 1 double size sleeper sofa. They sleep 4.
If you want more beds, they will not bring you a cot. So if, for example, your son and daughter will not share the sleeper sofa, Disney won't help you. You could try bringing an air mattress from home.
I think I read somewhere that after the refurb, the studios will also have a sleep chair. That means they will sleep 5. But I don't have that in writing.
A studio will have a kitchenette which means wet bar (kitchen sink), small fridge, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker and small counter. There will be paper plates, paper bowls and plastic utensils in the kitchenette cupboards. I think they have real coffee mugs, but I'm not positive.
I think all BCV villas have full balconies (none of the "Juliet" balconies). Unless, of course, you are on the ground floor.
As for views, they're not great at BCV. I just saw a post on this somewhere, so I will edit this if I find more info.
If you book a studio through Disney's Central Reservations Office or online, you will get daily housekeeping. If you book on points, you will not get daily housekeeping.
If you book on points and you are staying for less than 8 nights, you get Trash & Towel Service on Day 4. This includes:
- emptying the trash & replacing the trash bags
- clean towels
- bathroom amenities replaced as needed
- tissues, paper towels & toilet paper replaced
- coffee, sugar, creamers and sweeteners replaced.
If you are staying on points for 8 nights or more, you get a full cleaning on day 4, and Trash & Towel Service on day 8. Full cleaning involves everything you would get for Trash & Towel Service plus:
- changing the sheets
- vacuuming
- dusting
- cleaning the bathroom
- cleaning the kitchen/kitchenette
- washing the dishes
If you are staying on points and you want additional housekeeping services, you have to pay for it.
There's the BCV info for you. I've never stayed in the Beach Club itself, but Dee probably has the info on that to do a comparison.
