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

Yes, there are eight standing room only balconies on the BC CL floor.

Thanks Teena

Sometimes I have wondered how the balconies affected the architecture of the YC/BC buildings...such as the huge balcony I had recently at YC...while that balcony was LARGER than the balcony for the CL Lounge..I think it add beauty to the exterior of the building...
WHile it could be too close for comfort for some guests....I loved it!

Regarding the garden view rooms at BC, I was just checking our reservations and our garden view is actually only $6 more per night than a standard room during value season in February - an even better deal than I thought!

Sounds like you may have booked with the 40% off code!! Nice! I am missing BC so much!

 

[DisneyBride'03]

Darn that code! lol

My Jan quickie solo trip for the WDW Half Marathon was suppose to be on the cheap since I am out of DVC pts....but I just YC/BC/BCV area..and being so close to WS...and being able to walk back to your room after finishing the Half like WIne and Dine.....was wonderful!

Me too!

I am sooo hoping for that 40% code or that the AP rate for July is just as good! Are you coming back this summer - if so we definitely gotta fix that Dis Name (How about LovingtheLodge&BC!)

I have another question--I booked the rooms with the garden view. Is there any word on where those might be? I only made one request, that we have a full balcony, as it would be rather difficult with five in the room not to have one. Now I wonder if that is a doable request, as I don't really know the layout of the resort enough. I am also assuming that since we are a family of five, we will get a room with a daybed. Is that so?

After 3 straight years with the kids at GF, the DGF and I are making our first non kiddo trip to the YC in December. To say that we cannot wait is the understatment of the century.

This thread is soooooooo long but I am trying to read everything I can. There is so much wonderful and amazing information compiled by all the contributors and people with questions and answers. It is only heightening our excitement.

We decided this at the last minute for our own vacation that ressies are hard to come by but we did secure a Yachtsman Steakhouse ressie that we cannot wait.

Lots of fun to be had...

You'll get a room with a daybed. When you check in, just verify by saying, "We have a daybed, right?" If for some strange reason they say no, just tell them, we're a party of five and need it. No problem!

Half the rooms do not have full balconies. The rooms with and without full balconies are spread out all over the resort.

Since you only have one request, "full balcony", there's a good chance you'll get it. Again, ask at check-in and if they say no, tell them you would like one and would they please check to find one. If they say none is available that day, tell them you will room change to one the next day (if you want to of course).

I've been back for a little over a week and I'm in a funk. Just wanted to say the Beach Club Villa we had was AWESOME. We had a two bedroom and the balcony from the master bed/living room was huge. The second bedroom also had a full balcony. We could see illuminations fireworks from our balcony - it was so wonderful. Epcot was literally a 5 minute walk, and on the way home we walked under the bridge to avoid the hill at the end of the day My daughter surprised me with tickets to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, which was a blast. Then, she surprised me with a fireworks illumination cruise. If you ever take the cruise ask for Dave to be your skipper. He is a wealth of disney knowledge. I said a quick hello to Teena literally on my way out the door as we were checking out. It was a perfect in every way trip.

 

[rlahansler]

Looking to see some the best rooms at Beach Club Villas. Please respond if you have ever had one.

 

[Disneymama1]

This was our first time at BCV, but I would think our room qualifies as one of the best. It was so quiet, it seemed like we were the only ones there. Plus the huge balconies and the illuminations fireworks views made it awesome. I would take that room again in a heartbeat.

 

[cocoabean1]

This is for those just back from either the YC or the BC, are they still doing the bounceback offer?
We'll be at the YC in Dec and I'm hoping they are still doing it.

Also, is the CL lounge still open 24 hours?

 

[pixarmom]

Sounds like you may have booked with the 40% off code!! Nice! I am missing BC so much!

Yes - I did get the 40% off rate! The day Disney released that rate, I called to apply it to our reservation. (I signed up for Mousemisers.com alerts a long time ago, and they are great!) I remember that it was an easy choice to upgrade to garden view! I sent out an alert to everyone I knew with reservations at a Disney resort during the relevant time period, and it was a day-o-savings for all!

So I agree with Robyn - you should return next summer, and we should add BC to your name! We were huge WL fans before our family outgrew a standard room there, so I can also understand LovintheLodge!

 

[amyngary]

OK, after reading this entire thread, I am now ready to make a room request. However, I went to my reservation confirmation and can't find a phone number on it anywhere except for the one to make dining reservations.

Does anyone know what number to call to make a room request?

Thanks so much for your help!

Does anyone have the number to call to make my room request?

 

[yanjan]

can you update mine

instead of 11 to 15 it is now 11 to 17

 

[natebenma]

Does anyone have the number to call to make my room request?

Did you reserve through Disney? If so, according to the WDW website, you should call (407) 939-7675 for assistance with your reservation.

Thanks, Teena! The full balcony is not a make or break deal, really. The major reasons for booking BC for us were: 1. Stormalong Bay and 2. the fitness center. So, as long as we hav eaccess to those, we'll be fine. The whole full balcony is a nice to have type of thing.

Thanks again! So looking forward to staying at the Beach Club!

When you check in, ask the cast member at the front desk for an after hours key to the fitness center ... then you won't have to worry about getting there before it closes.

Will do! You have been super helpful!

There was no bounceback offer in our room earlier this month. I have read on many of the threads here on the DIS that it is not being offered right now; no one is finding it in the rooms.

As for the CL lounge, I think earlier in this thread Teena confirmed that the 24 hr. policy was still ongoing, although it is still being tested.
