I see your next trip is September, so, to answer your question, I'd say all you'd have to do is walk outside your room, free steam and sauna for all!

Which would you prefer and why?

Well, we asked the kids what they where they want to stay, we have 2 for bc and 1 for yc. So, with 5 people, are the rooms the same size at both resorts?

 

[diswiththree]

Please remind me....how much does it cost for the washers and dryers and is it quarters?

Also, is there a laundry service available at BC? How does it work? Approximate cost? Turnaround time?

TIA!

Does anyone have information about this?

 

[DisneyMomx7]

If I remember right the washers and dryers take 8 quarters each load.

There is a dry cleaning/laundry service but it's really pretty expensive. We've used it but I would never send a whole load of laundry out. Even socks are about $3 for the laundry service.

Does anybody know if there are any one bedroom suites at Beach Club (or YC) that have two queens in the bedroom or are they all king beds?

We have used the laundry service at AKL before and I expect it's the same service. I can't remember the prices but somebody has listed the laundry list prices on this board somewhere (not in the BC thread, but may be the AKL thread). It has laundry and dry cleaning services and there is usually bags and a list in the wardrobe. You put your laundry in the bag and fill in the form. You then call housekeeping and they come and collect it and it's delivered back to your room. From memory (and this may not be 100% correct) it has to be in by 8.30am and is returned by 6pm. There was a post recently where somebody put the list and prices. Here is the post.

Have a fun and safe trip!

 

[Jasminetigger]

Thanks. I think I am more excited than the kids. I don't see much sleep in my future tonight.

This month a bellman by the name of Mike is trying the role as lobby greeter. I'm not sure of his end date for the trial period. But Vic is still working full-time in his real role which is luggage room and/or dispatcher at the BC. Look for him around the bell services desk. His days off are Thursday and Friday.

Sorry I'm going to miss you again. Hope you have a super vacation!!!

Thanks! We'll look for both Vic and Mike and say hello!

Thanks for the reply. Sounds good to me. I thought there might have been a charge for it, even as i'm staying at the resort. Free sounds good to me x

Has anyone on this thread had a family photo session done at the BC/YC? If so where you happy with it?x

 

[glasslipper]

Thanks for the reply. Sounds good to me. I thought there might have been a charge for it, even as i'm staying at the resort. Free sounds good to me x

Sorry, I was kidding around! I'm not sure if the sauna is free(I didn't even know they had one!) I was just being silly commenting on the Florida heat and humidity in late summer!

Straight from BC IPO (planning):

As a matter of fact, that's something you can use just for being a resort guest free of charge, as well

We did this in Nov '09. The pictures were very nice, I used one of just my boys for our Christmas card. They did outside and inside shots; loved the ones on the beach with the Boardwalk in the background. The only problem we had was it was a VERY windy day so my crazy hair kept blowing in my face. We will do this again on our next visit for sure
