Hi everyone! 
I'm Marlton Mom and I'm active on the Dis Photography boards. I am thrilled to join you in all things Beach Club as we have a reservation for June 10th to the 20th.
I'd like to extend my gratitude
for all of you who are helping to answer questions (ESPECIALLY TEENA!!!) and those of you thinking up questions to share with the rest of us. Chances are, if you need to know then someone else will too!
I am pleased to say that I have read through the entire thread and it took me DAYS and DAYS!!
I was there with you in September when the pool was hot! I was there with you in December when the pool was not! Teena has been sick at least 3 times, gone on 2 cruises, been to Las Vegas at least 3 times, killed off a computer and her Bob bought a new Car! The thing that put the biggest smile on my face was the news that Teena and Bob are going to be GRANDPARENTS around the middle of July. 256 MILLION people want to know EXACTLY what KIND of BALCONY they are going to get,...... whether they should ask for a specific room by number (meh!) and just how many room requests they can specify (one or two are sensible).
Thanks to y'all I know that the walk to the IG at Epcot is 8-10 minutes, and you better know your mother's maiden name if you want to get into the StormAlong Bay pool AND that the Yacht club is also known as the Dark Side because Darth Vader prefers to stay there during any Star Wars conventions that might occur.
Whew! Ok, so it's only fair to introduce myself and my family. We are from Marlton NJ which is 11 miles east of Philadelphia. We are 50 minutes away from the Jersey shore and our absolute favorite place, besides Disney, is Ocean City, NJ, America's Family resort. No Snooki or Pauley or J Wow's to be seen! We run to Wawa for milk and eat at Ponzio's Diner (Olga's closed). We live in South Jersey, which has the well deserved reputation as the Garden part of the State. I grow heirloom tomatoes in the back yard in summer and the Jersey corn is picked fresh and early in the morning starting around July 4th at Eckert's Farm in Tabernacle.
This will be my 8th trip to the world, DH's 6th and DS's 4th.The dog has not managed to make the trip thus far. It's our first at Beach Club.
Dh, Ds (12) and myself are looking forward to Star Wars Weekend, SAB, the Deluxe Dining plan and all the wonderful Disney Magic! I am a meticulous planner so I have a park touring plan and my ADR's all mapped out. Chances are, when everybody is "zigging" we'll be "zagging". My 12 year old son's favorite parks are Hollywood Studios, (He is a major Star Wars fan and he could give
Darth Vader himself a run for the money with Star Wars Trivia) Magic Kingdom and Epcot. We love the fact that the Beach Club is so close to EPCOT and HS because, between me and my husband, the old grey hairs just ain't what they used to be!
Now for the questions. We would like to eat breakfast at the Captain's Grille. Is the Captains Grille on the Disney Dining plan? I have seen info that indicates it is /is not. Would it be advisable to book ADR's for breakfast at the Captains' Grille or can we just keep it simple and walk in with out a pin point schedule? Also what time does the Captain get up to make our breakfast dreams come true? We tend to be early risers and hit the parks at opening so we'll be one of "those people' all showered and shaved at 7:30 am until about mid week when we can't take it any more and resort to being normal again, (bed head, bad breath and shoes on the wrong feet).
Now on to my next question.... When is the last boat to BC from Hollywood Studios at night after HS closes and what happens if you miss it? Do they put you on a bus? I tend to linger after the park officially closes, taking pictures at night of the building facades. I know before when I have done this, cast members assure me that Disney Transportation will deliver every guest back to their hotel (and they did!). This time the transportation from DHS is by boat and I have read that the boats stop running approximately 30 mins after the park closes. So how do they get you back? (Edit = I'm not walking that far, that late at night)
Also I was told by 2 different cast members that all Beach Club rooms now have some kind of sofa in them. Is this true Teena? Having a nice comfy sofa is actually our most important request but the CM's said it wasn't necessary to specify that, as all the rooms had them. So we booked a Garden view room with a ground floor near (but not in
) the laundry room request. Speaking of laundry, when we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge the laundry room was a ZOO and DH wound up going at 4:30 am to wash the laundry. Is it like that at Beach Club??
And finally (for now LOL!) Teena, is it true you like Tastykakes? If so what kind??? Do tell!...and what about Bob, does he like them too? Marlton NJ is 11 mile east of Philadelphia ----->Tastykake HEADQUARTERS!! What part of South Jersey did you formerly live in?
Ok people, Dish!! Lets hear it. Who else is Going June 10th to the 20th?
