2011/2012 Beach & Yacht FAQ, Part IV- DO NOT POST- see new 2012 thread

[Marlton Mom]

MM - I dare you to go on that thread & say that you think you saw a phone book in the bottom of SAB.....

I laughed my buns off when I read this and if I could work it in I would... however I sense the thread is taking a turn for the worse so I think it's best to take a rain check and discuss the merits of phone books (or lack there of) later.

We have spammed that thread pretty mightily with Storm Along Bay love! I'll bet the original poster is wondering what was up with all those SAB lunatics....

Tara you are SUCH a BAD influence....Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!!!!

Just booked my first stay at the BCAny and all tips and advice appreciated .

Kteacher!

I'm glad you are excited about your first stay at the BC! October? If you would like to be added to the page 1 Be Our Guest list, please let us know the dates of your stay.

Hate to go to that old standby, but my first suggestion to you is to spend a little time over on Page 1 of this thread. There's a lot there, and you certainly don't have to read everything, but it is a good place to start to learn about these resorts.

Please let us know any questions you have and we will try our best to answer them!

 

[Kteacher]

Thanks . We will be there from 10/5-10/9. We usually stay at the Polynesian, but have found ourselves spending most of our time at Epcot. I'm typically a CL kind of gal, but as we've never stayed at the BC, we just booked a standard room. Is there any info or links on what kind of view ( or lack of ) standard rooms have?
I'm also looking for info on the table service restaurants nearby.

Thanks again

You will love the easy access to EPCOT!!! It is literally 5-7 minutes to the World Showcase.

Which kind of leads to your last question...

There is a section on Page 1 dealing with Dining at BC and YC, both Table Service and very helpful Counter Service info from pixarmom. As far as TS at the resorts, there is Cape May (character breakfast in the morning, clambake/buffet at night) at BC, Captains Grille (non-character a la carte OR buffet breakfast, lunch-menu and dinner-menu) at YC and a Signature restaurant, Yachtsman, at YC.

Additionally, the restaurants at the Boardwalk and World Showcase are nearby.

Standard View- not sure where they are all located, but there is a good chance you will be overlooking the parking lot/main entrance of the Beach Club. One of my two stays at the BC was in a standard view room (CL), and I have some info and pictures of the view a few pages back. Let me get the link for you: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=43681105&postcount=1256

Here are a few pictures of the view from this standard view room:


Looking to the Left:

This is a view of the front of the resort. I am guessing that pretty much any of the rooms here are Standard View:

Oh yes, goggles!! I will bring those from home. All three of my kids are partial to their goggles.

Here's a helpful hint - Make sure you mark them. A few years ago I saw this older man had my ds cornered against the side of SAB. I went over there and he was accusing my ds of stealing his dgs's goggles. He said the grandson had lost blue goggles and my son had blue goggles so he must have taken them. Now mind you three quarters of the boys in SAB with goggles had on blue goggles!

I told him that of course they were my sons' goggles. Really we were staying for 16 nights in a BC Cl room and I thought I would save some money by having my kids steal goggles! Now I make sure I mark all their goggles!

 

[DisneyMomx7]

Tara - it's not just you.

Some posters make me nuts -

The BC "Hater"
The Poly Dude
and the "Precious Snowflake" Mom who was so mad that Disney didn't do MORE for them when the POR Royal Rooms weren't ready. An upgrade to a deluxe wasn't enough - Disney should have given them special fastpasses to meet the princesses!

DRUMROLL!!!!!!

This is my 10,000th post!

I wanted to make it special (and happy - no drama)

I just want to say

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

to all my BC/YC friends who have helped so much during difficult times
and shared so much during difficult times.

It is wonderful to live vicariously through your trips and share the great times we've had on our Disney vacations.

Special thanks to some very special BC/YC Dissers:

Teena, Dee, BCV23, HockemomR, YCFAN, Dr.Momof3, MikeT, Pixarmom, MarltonMom,
Katesdad, Nanette, LovintheLodge and Lauren. I'm sure I've missed somebody - I'll bet I'll be editing and re-editing this post.

The BC/YC thread is probably the friendliest, most helpful and supportive thread on the boards.

Again,

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Thats funny!

I hope it works out for you. I waitlisted 2 days at BCV recently and the waitlist came through in 2 weeks later. I hope the same happens for you.

Thanks 333disneymom! I hope that happens!

Congrats Robyn on 10,000 posts!! Thats a lot of posts!

Hi...I have, yet again, another question, as a BCV newbie!

We have two rooms booked (not on points). We are checking into the one bedroom villa July 14 and checking into the studio villa on July 19. Both rooms checking out on July 24.

DH and I are arriving on the 14th. DD, DDBF, DS, DM arriving on the 19th.

DH and I will be staying in the one bedroom villa the entire stay. DD, DDBF are staying in the studio. DM and DS are staying in the one bedroom with DH and I.

As far as the ressie goes...DH and I are in the one bedroom, everyone else is in the studio. For the package, I didn't want to pay for extra days on the dining plan and tickets for DS and DM before they arrived.

I checked with Guest Services because I was concerned about having two people listed in the studio that would be staying in the one bedroom. They said it didn't matter. I also inquired about a key to the one bedroom door. Guest Services said to go to the front desk, explain, and get a stand alone key/key card for DM and DS.

Has anyone ever run into anything like this?

Hey! There you are! We missed you and we understand that life gets busy so no worries, we'll still be here. I like to think of this BC/YC/BCV thread as something equivalent to a trolley, you hop on when you're ready and off when you need to, in the meanwhile it just keeps running in loops, or should I say with the loopy people!

Wow! You ARE a Dis Board GODDESS!!!

I was hoping to see her tag line change to just that, rather than DIS Veteran. Robyn, DIS Goddess, is what it should say!!

Where's the tag fairy when you need them???

Congrats Robyn, 10,000 posts is an accomplishement!

back!!!

I swear I was just thinking about you and wondering how your trip was!

Post when you can, and definitely let us know how your surprise was for everyone!

If you would like to be added to the Page 1 Be Our Guest list, let us know your dates (if you have booked the trip already)

 

[DisneyMomx7]

OMG - I was just thinking about you too and wondering how everything went.

Can't wait to see the pictures and get all the details.

 

[kelleigh1]

Tara - it's not just you.

Some posters make me nuts -

The BC "Hater"
The Poly Dude
and the "Precious Snowflake" Mom who was so mad that Disney didn't do MORE for them when the POR Royal Rooms weren't ready. An upgrade to a deluxe wasn't enough - Disney should have given them special fastpasses to meet the princesses!

That one had me going. Can you say "entitlement"? And the kid is 5 and has been 6 times already? I'm 41 and haven't even been 6 times yet. I think this next trip will be 6 and that's with 2 times of just going for the day when visiting a friend who lived in Orlando. I think Disney needs to do something for me to make me happy since I've missed out on so much.

I was thinking of Queen of the Beach Club - and then I remembered - we already have a Queen - Teena. Can I be a BC Princess????

Tara I think you might definitely be a BC Convert and will be joining our cult for the long haul!!!!

And I was excited when I hit 6,000 the other day. Apparently I'm still practically a rookie - 10,000 is like Elite status.
