2010 Yacht and Beach Club FAQ, Part II---Inactive Thread--- Please do not post here!

[TeenaS]

Thanks Teena!

I'm calling now (rez it's thru groups reservations) to make sure. Since it's two of us checking in, I would imagine we would get a better shot at getting one? And also, since we are getting there before everyone else (most of them get there on Sunday)?

Read a few pages back of the thread and see you have not been feeling well. Hopefully some pixie dust goes your way and makes you feel better.

Andy maybe I'll be able to meet you when I'm there

One thing you could do if there is no king bed available on your arrival date is to ask them to set you up for a room change as soon as a king bed is available. Personally once I get settled into a room, I don't want to pack up again and move but it may be the only way you'll get your king bed. If you decide to go that route, on the day a king bed is available, you will have to pack up, check-out of your room by 11 AM, check-in to your new room and if the king room is not clean at that time, you'll have to leave your bags with Bell Services until it is clean (which could be around 3 PM).

As far as you coming in before the rest of your group ... that really won't give you any advantage since there will probably be another group there anyway.

We use the Garden Grocer every trip! They have a website where they list all their products. Mostly everything you would get at any grocery store. There is also a section for you to write an add ons (such as beer and wine). I believe their charge is $12 and they will deliver it to your hotel. You just give them the date and they will ask you to pick a 2 hour window in which they deliver. We have never had a problem with them.

Teena - glad you're feeling better. Have a wonderful visit with Jeanne!

Teena, I am so happy you're feeling better! Enjoy that trip!

So excited!!! We usually can not afford to stay on-site but have "points" and are going to use them here. That being said, we can only stay for one night so I am bummed we will not get the full experience. Anyway - I think we will have to check in late in the evening and check out the following morning, but my plan is to use the resort for the entire day we check out. Is this possible? Will we still be able to access the pool? Is there a both house or somewhere that we can change before we leave? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have a great trip Teena.... Happy you are feeling better...

I just heard something on the news the other night about the problem in NY. To be totally honest, in the 7 years I've been at Y&B, I've only heard of one guests complaining ... however, when she went to the doctors (Centracare), it turned out her child had heat rash. I guess it's possible anywhere ... including your own homes. I never worry about it, especially at WDW.

It's a problem throughout the US, no matter if you are doing a top of the line resort or one of a less expensive nature. Homes, schools, hospitals, hotels, anywhere people go these creatures can be brought along without the knowledge of the carrier. Since DDT has been banned, you really don't have a "spray bottle" you can bring to take care of them. Just check the room when you arrive, before you unpack, and then enjoy your stay. Worrying about them won't do you any good and it doesn't help. Just look at it as another adventure of travel.

Thanks!! Teena, enjoy your trip and keep resting!!

Absolutely. You are a guest of the resort until midnight on the day you check out. Checkout is 11 AM. So, once you are up and ready to hit the pool, just take your bags to Bell Services and they will be glad to hold them for you or put them in your car. When you checkout, you will keep all your keys. Every person in your party needs to show their individual key to get into the pool. We have a health club where you can shower and change when you are done. There are movies on the beach at night which you are certainly welcome to stay and enjoy too.

You can send me the information any time. I have a notebook with each month in it. I already have five requests for December. Today is a good day to send me the information but I'm leaving tomorrow for 4 nights so when I get back on Thursday night, they can start sending me the PMs then too.

Since I am traveling so much (Thanksgiving week and the long 11 night Christmas cruise), it wouldn't hurt to get them to me way in advance.

Remember, send a PM to me. I need (1) name on reservation, (2) number of pins wanted, (3) whether you are staying at the BC, BCV or YC, and (4) date of arrival.

 

[scottish mum]

In 5 days time we will arrive at the beach club, getting really excited now.

Just a quick question, do all rooms at BC have hairdryers in them? and if so are they any good?

 

[scottmel]

yes and yes!

 

[Tyme4wdw]

Teena...will you do me a favor and seek out Joe from PA at Gate Security and tell him that the license plate 2Disney from VA said hello! He was an absolute delight every time I went through the gate at BC over the 4th of July!

We'll be checking in the same day, but over at the YC! I can't wait! WooHoo!!!

Hi Teena - I have been skipping around this post and have learned several things including the fact that you are not feeling well - hope you are up and about soon and thanks so much for taking the time to answer my many (LOL) questions...

Anyway, we are going to MNNSHP on Friday, Oct 22 and then staying with you at the BC that evening...checking out Saturday, Oct 30. You gave me a bunch of great info about what we can do on Sat...but do you think we can fit anything in on Friday? How early will they allow us to have access to the resort Friday? Any recommendations? Maybe drop off our luggage and get a late lunch/early dinner at the boardwalk?

Also - is the anywhere where we can see the daily activities in advance?

Sorry for so many questions but seeing as this is our only ever on-site stay I am very excited!!!!!!

Unfortunately CMs don't go through the gates. We have parking on the other side of the road. But I'll pass the word on through the in-house security person.

Please feel free to check-in around 7 AM. Your room I'm sure won't be ready but you will get your keys and will be an official guest of the resort. Bell Services will hold your bags and you have the health club to use. The pool and all activities are at your disposal. We are a short walk away from the Boardwalk where you can have a nice lunch but we have some nice restaurants too. The activities are scheduled monthly. Hopefully somebody that is there now will post the October schedule. I'm off tomorrow to visit my daughter or I'd be able to post it. But instead of going to work tomorrow, I'm going to the airport.

 

[sdd1841]

Thanks again - you are the best!!!! One last question (yeah I am sure you have heard that before!!!) We can stay at the Beach Club or the Yacht club for one night in a standard view room using Citi (credit card) points and booking through expedia - we are a family of 5 (2 boys ages 6 and 7)...which location would you recommend?

I swear I will not ask any more questions for the rest of the day!!!
