Beach & Yacht Club FAQ questions- temporary home: evicted! New Thread activated

[HockeyMomR]

Soooooo After promising my family no Disney trips this year I just impulse bought a plane ticket and booked a YC room for 22 days away.

Question: how important is it to have reservations for Beaches and Cream and the Cape May cafe? I know we want to do both, but I don't which when.

Question 2: Our Garden view room can have a variety of beds. Where do I indicate which one we would prefer?

And in general


I'm going to Disney World!!!!

How fun!

Beaches and Cream - gone the days of walking up to have a sit down ice cream or meal. I will say we were lucky to get a same day late lunch ADR last week. We did a late lunch / early dinner at 3:30 PM last Tuesday. Worked out great. Also, on our departure day, there was a 2:20 ADR but we had Magical Depress for 2:30 so we opted for a great lunch at Crew's Cup and To Go Sundaes from Beaches and Cream for my big "kids". It was a great final meal.

I thought I had read that someone recommended asking for upper floor/close to Epcot for the best chances at getting a refurbished room as they were doing them top down, from the Epcot side inwards the YC side. Having never been to the BC though, I'm not sure if that was correct. I really just hoped for a refurbished room (could care less about daybeds or full balconies or elevator proximity) but thought I read that asking for that directly is not the best way to wind up with that. I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.

I too really like checking in in person. Somehow its part of the experience and I like the interaction with the front desk personnel. Our last trip to DL, when we were checking in at the Disneyland Hotel, Goofy walked through the lobby and my kids got to meet him. They thought that was awesome (but have been told to not expect that everytime they check into a hotel ) and it started our trip off on a great note.

A Disney European cruise?! I bet that will be amazing!!

Three upper floors are done so just upper floor will be good!!

Teena, to clarify.....are the only elevators at the lobby? I thought there was a single elevator more near the secret entrance?

Yes, there are the main lobby elevators and then one single one near the quiet pool. But when someone asks for a room near elevators, it means to me anyway, the lobby elevators.

So I was wondering what on earth happene! How could there be no alerts from my beach club people in a whole day?? I am not an expert at dis, so not sure what a locked thread means or how it happens.

I asked a question late in the game on the other thread, about how fast reservations go at the sandcastle club. My daughter is going to do the albatross cruise on morning (hope it's awesome!) and that means we'll have either time with the 3 yo or many get him into sandcastle club and have some quiet beach time! He is mostly potty trained now but not making progress on the last hurdle, unfortunately doesn't seem on the horizon at all, so I'm not even sure he could go I don't want to be using pull-ups at Disney but I've resigned to dealing with it if I need to. Anyhow. How far ahead do you need reservations there for a couple hours one morning?

The Sandcastle Club doesn't open until later in the day, around 4:30pm I think. It is really just for the dinner hours.

thanks! That makes sense and settles it although, too bay my 3.5 yo can't do the pirate cruise.

I will be watching him slide down the kiddie slide for those two hrs I'm sure!

whew...I found you all....wondering why no alerts all day, but I was busy and didn't have a chance to check it out. now I can go to bed having caught up again!

Buzzy! Long time, no see! Glad you found our temporary home. How is the family?

Thank you for asking.... It's good to be back! Ninja mom tricked me and I got stuck in a web for a couple of weeks so I missed her Star Wars trip.

I am making plans to join her for her August girl's trip at the Beach Club. I just need to find a way to get them to add me to the reservation. That will get the room total up to 5 and hopefully I will get the Day bed! If I am successful we will have to change the name of the trip to "The Beach Club Floozies AND Buzzy the Fly invade Stormalong Bay ".

I am also starting a letter writing campaign to the recreation manager at Stormalong Bay to provide tiny fly sized pool tubes so that I may float along in the lazy river with the rest of the gang and participate on the Stormalong Bay synchronized pool tube team. Right now I am practicing in puddles and floating on Cheerios but we all know how that ends... the Cheerios get all soggy and sink to the bottom .

As for Mrs. Buzzy, she has gone through menopause so no more Larva (thank God!). Now that she has more free time she joined a gym but she injured her thorax in a Zumba accident and she is taking it easy. I'm trying to convince her to take up an exciting hobby like learning how to home brew craft beers but she doesn't seem too interested in that.

The larva are doing fantastic! There are a lot of them so we've had to go to a "Secret Santa " format at Christmas so that nobody gets left out. I do love Father's day but enough with the ties already! There are only so many formal occasions that I can use them for.

So that's what's up with me. I haven't seen too many people posting full on nervous breakdowns about the Love bugs so it looks like this year's crop was manageable. I'll stay glued to my post at Hurricane Hannah's and keep an eye out for them.

Take care and I will see you around the resort!

Signed, Buzzy the Fly, your Beach Club Resort guy

What time does Hurricane Hannah's stop serving food?

Also is there a pool bar very close to HH and does it serve food too?

Thanks!

Not sure when HH stops serving. Does anyone know?

Yes, you can get food at the pool bar and I think the menu may be different from HH- I believe there was an Ahi Tuna offered that people have raved about.

Hang on tight, everyone! We are on the move again...





I have not heard anything about why our prior thread was locked and whether we can get it unlocked (I would still like to see that happen). I have activated the new thread.

I'll bring along any posts with questions from this thread over to the new one and eventually I will get to any unanswered posts from the locked thread.

Buzzy so glad to hear from you again. The cherries are my favorite so that will make a nice addition. Glad to hear the family is doing well. Secret Santa never works out with my family...
