Thank you to all of you who have helped me with trip planning questions. We had a wonderful trip! I'd be glad to reciprocate if anyone has questions.
We checked in about 12:30 PM. One of our connecting rooms was ready. We booked two std view rooms,got a great meeting rate. I did not make any room requests. When we opened the door to teh room,I couldn't believe it. It was a waterview room overlooking the gazebo,with a dead-on view of the lake and Boardwalk. Such a beautiful location! Major pixie dust there and a great start to our trip. We had rooms 4133 and 4135.
The rooms were in excellent condition and mousekeeping did a fine job.
The YC is such a beautiful resort. we loved the decor. The lobby is very quiet,which we found soothing,especially after a day in the parks. I thought the BC was a much busier place.
It is not stuffy. And it is very kid-friendly. Our 2nd night a CM brought ballons and an autographed character picture to our room for the girls!
SAB was crowded by midafternoon daily,but was not at capacity.
There were lots of very pristine towels sitting on chairs all day,but we were able to find chairs daily with no problem.Wristbands were issued and checked. Those without wristbands were approached by the lifeguards. That said,I asked the lifeguard one morning if my brother who lives in Orlando was allowed at the quiet pool that evening with me. She said as a resort guest(me) he could come to SAB with us and gave him a wristband later that day. I do not advocate pool hopping and its abuses. But it seems when not at capacity this is at the lifeguards discretion.
For those of you who have not been to SAB before-beware! Your kids may like it as much or more than the parks. So be sure to allow some days away from the parks to relax and enjoy the reort.
The parks were crowded,very crowded by midday. We went there for teh morning opening and using FP's and info from the unofficial guide,had minimal or no lines,and really enjoyed it. By lunchtime or shortly after we left,took naps,then went back about 5PM and did a few more things with FP's or less-crowded attractions. Evenings were still very crowded however. I think its best to tour the parks a little more slowly in order to appreciate all the beautiful little details you would miss if you rushed around. Like having a MIckey bar and watching the castle turn colors!
Thanks again for helping me with a most memorable trip. I'm happy to answer any questions.
