We stayed at the BC for the first time 8/18-28 and had a lovely stay. We found it to be a beautiful, well maintained resort. We stayed in room 4682. It was close enough to the main elevators, standing only balcony and no daybed. Next time I would request closer to the laundry rooms, I do a lot of laundry and it was a long hike.
The staff was exceptional.Every person we encountered during our stay was helpful and friendly. We had the pleasure of meeting Teena. She had a short conversation with my children on the importance of staying hydrated, and drinking water and juices instead of soda. Thanks to her they stopped begging for soda at every meal.
It was HOT HOT HOT while we were there. We LOVED Stormalong Bay (would have been nicer if the water was cooler) and spent most nights and one full day there. I think the bus service from BC could use a little improvement. It seemed to take us a long time no matter where we were going or coming from. Sometimes stopping at Swan, Dolphin, Boardwalk and YC. We had one really annoying bus situation during our trip. After having dinner at the Wilderness Lodge, we planned on taking the bus from WL to MK and then another bus from MK to BC. Well after 15 minutes of waiting for the MK bus we saw a bus that said it was going to DHS, we jumped on that one, planning to then take the boat back to BC. That bus took us to Fort Wilderness. After the bus emptied and we were the only ones left on it, the bus driver asked us where we were going. We told him DHS. He said he is no longer going there as they were closing in 10 minutes. He said our best bet would be to get out at FW and take the bus to MK and then on to BC. We got out and waited and waited and waited....40 minutes later when no MK bus came we asked another bus when we could expect one, he told us that no busses run between FW and MK. Ugh. We finaly took a bus to DTD and after stopping at 4 resorts made it back to the BC. Total travel time was 2 hours and 20 minutes.
We did Deluxe Dining and ate at a lot of signature restaurants and a lot of table services. We did not have to wait more than 5 minutes for any ADR. That was a big improvement from our last trip. We at at Captains Grille our last night and had the best server ever. Just so friendly and attentive. Her name was Jennifer and she was from Cincinatti Oh. I have already written to Disney about her and several other cast members who really went above and beyond.
This thread has such great information in it, I feel like I knew exactly what to expect and I got it. Thanks to all who contribute. Teena, I hope you had a nice visit with your daughter.
Now I will have to deal with the post Disney depression until our next trip is booked.
