Thanks for the pictures! My husband knows we are staying on site without kids for our anniversary, but he doesn't know where. Maybe I will purchase the luggage tags and ask him to put them on our luggage on the way out the door. Or do I buy a T-shirt or a polo plan a surprise way for him to find out where we are going. I know I am more excited than him about where we are staying. He is just happy to get out of town for the week without the kids!

So there is Marlton Mom's first attempt at food porn.

How'd I do?



~Marlton Mom

Meh......Looks like all meat and no potato's.

Will I be disappointed with the Beach Club. I am booking for Aug 8th with my DD and Neice staying with me until they check in on Aug 15th with the Disney college program.
I am worried because I had my hopes so high with the Poly and was very disappointed when we stayed there.
We are coming in a week early from the girls sign in date because I have 2 granddaughters that will be in Disney with there dance teams. (got to enjoy the grandkids too)
Being in August we thought having the stormalong Bay would be nice.
Am I making the right choice?

Obviously this is a thread populated by fans of BC so we may be a little biased. That having been said, many of us have stayed at various resorts on property - including Poly - and can offer some comparisons. We need more information! What about the Poly was disappointing? What were/are you looking for in a resort?
We've stayed at many resorts: Contemporary, BLT, Poly, GF, BC, YC, SSR, etc. BC is my husband's absolute favorite. I also love BC but I'm a little more flexible and like different things about different resorts - partly depending on the purpose of the trip. (We found GF super convenient for Marathon Weekend because both the half and full marathons run past the resort whereas only the full goes past BC.)
I think if we have a better understanding of what you're looking for, we can help you decide if BC is right!

I support the use of David Beckham's image.

I'm just wondering about the "Beckham View" rooms????

DH and I stayed in a King jacuzzi Suite for our staycation this weekend and we were SO pampered. Trying to get him to realize that it won't be the same in our BC room, but that we won't be hanging around in there all day like were were this weekend!!! LOL Plus we will have a balcony, and will at the lovely, beautiful Disney.

My DD asked me if I will still be obsessed with Disney after our trip, since our next vacation is hopefully to Italy to visit family (finally! DH's aunts and uncles are getting older and we can't keep expecting them all to come to us!!!) I said that ABSOLUTELY I will. LOL

Thank you for the food porn MM! That was probably the best food report EVER!!

 

[jenneth79]

MM - That has got to be the best food porn ever. With such a lovely guest as well! I'll admit I'm insanely jealous of your trip, but I hope you had a fantastic time and we get some drink porn as well! (Come now, did you go for a Gingerita? a Cantoloopy? Do tell!

Dee - Bugger, I missed you!!! Happy Anniversary, and I hope you and your husband have a fantastic trip!

For those asking if they would be disappointed in BC, I do think others have asked the right questions of you, what is important in a trip, what you didn't like about Poly, etc. I'll add this - our first night at YC was less than stellar, but things happen, and we are REALLY looking forward to returning to the resorts again in October. We've since stayed at Contemporary and I have to say it just doesn't compare to BC/YC at all!

Then again, every resort has its perks, so it all depends on what's important to your family.

MM: that's the BEST Food Porn I have EVER seen!!!!

MikeyT could you please change our BCV to BC on the Be Our Guest list when you have time We could not get free dining with the Villas so we switched. We are going Sept 20-29th.

We so excited to be staying at the BC

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Sorry to get off topic from the meat but does anyone know if something special is going on at YC/BC on March 27th? Can't get a night added to my reservation, they are telling me all epcot resorts booked full that night.
THANKS!

I looked on line for clues and they only thing I could find was that it is a very busy season for WDW with various spring breaks happening in addition to the usual convention traffic. So I don't think it's a special event per se, I think it's just high season volume. Good luck with your plans. The conventional wisdom is to keep calling a couple of times a day to get that opening that may pop up from time to time.

Can we be added to the Be Our Guest List? My family will be returning to BCV from September 29th until October 7th. DH and I stayed here on our honeymoon and our 1 year anniversary. Last year we stayed at CSR and we are so happy to be going back to BCV this year. We will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary on our arrival day and right in the middle of our trip will be our daughter’s 3rd birthday!

Also can we join the noodle swap? I see there is a gap for the week we will be there. Thanks!

I'm at BC now. There is a small mirror that can be posed next to the sinks. It is attached to the wall and can be used to check the back of your hair. I always use a mirror to check my hair like that, too.

We are having a great time! A small storm postponed this morning's fishing excursion, but we are going this afternoon. We enjoyed the campfire and movie on the beach last night. Today is DH's birthday, so we will be celebrating all day!

The wi-fi here is not very good so I haven't posted to tell everyone hi like I had meant to. And I hate typing too much on my phone.

Happy B-day to DH.

Do you happen to have the movie schedule and resort activities list available to share/pass along? We will be there in two days.

UGH, my DH will be upset about the porr WiFi since he has to do work while we are there. Have you noticed it to be poor throughout the whole resort?

 

[mickeyplanner]

Woo-Hoo- March movie schedule is out!!! I was afraid it wouldn't be posted before I left:

Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Movie Schedule
By the Beach ~ 8:00PM

Sundays - Ratatouille
Mondays - Phineas & Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension
Tuesdays - Meet the Robinsons
Wednesdays - Tangled
Thursdays - The Emperor's New Groove
Fridays - The Princess and the Frog
Saturdays - Lady and the Tramp


Please note that the time says 8 PM. I'm not sure if this is all month or after the clocks are reset next Sunday, so if you are going this week, just be sure to check the time before you make your plans.

THanks for posting the movie schedule, I guess I just needed to keep reading before I posted my question again.

Have a wonderful anniversary trip.

Ok, so in the past I've taken a lot of flak from those of you in the food porn camp about not taking food pictures when I lug around more camera equipment than Ansel Adams.

Well those days are over. I'm giving you food porn in a way you've never experienced it before. We are talking BEEF CAKE ladies!! Luscious, luscious Prime Meat!

First, I'd like to apologize to the guys on the board. This is probably not the kind of food porn that you will enjoy. I think I'm just going to have to get Mickey T and his camera back to the parks so he can represent the guys in this new form of food porn that Marlton Mom has invented.

Now before we begin with the porny parts I have to start at the beginning. Since this was a solo trip to the world, I didn't have to drag, um, I mean take my family around to various places at the parks like restaurants or attractions. I could set my own schedule and this meant I'd have time to have dinner with friends and chat and really enjoy myself like, like, LIKE A GROWN UP!

It was heaven! You all know how much I like the Captain's Grille and that seemed like the perfect place to go for dinner. But WHO should I dine with I wondered? It was too hard to choose just one so I took a couple of my friends and off we went!

On the way over we found this woman wandering around muttering something about how does she get to "Pop". I asked her to pose with her best side out and this is how she turned:

She looked kinda hungry so I thought I would invite her to dinner with my friends. As soon as she got a peep at who I was bringing SHE WAS ALL OVER THAT!

We got to the Captain's Grill and after a brief wait for a table we were seated. Two of my friend were especially excited about the bread and we had to keep reminding them to save some for the rest of the table.



Here is a shot of my friends eating the bread:

Next the soup came and my friends wanted to dive right in. It's a good thing they weren't wearing shirts!

Next the entrees came and let me tell you there was no gristle on this beef cake.


HOT AND JUICY! by Marlton Mom, on Flickr






When I told the fellows I had crabs they were more than a little worried but I was able to put their minds at ease when this showed up at the table:

Finally it was time to give mama a little sugar. Nobody could pass up dessert so EVERYBODY came to the party!


Can we nibble on your ~Dessert~ by Marlton Mom, on Flickr


So there is Marlton Mom's first attempt at food porn.

How'd I do?

I have to say that out of everybody at the table, I enjoyed dining with my mystery guest the most. She didn't come off as flat and her conversations were much more than one dimensional, which is something I couldn't say about the guys I was dining with. Heck, I'd go out for Dinner with her ANYTIME!

~Marlton Mom

I think you may have found a new career.....

MM Thanks for the food porn...as the woman said in "When Harry Met Sally", I'll have what she's having!
