2011 Beach & Yacht Club FAQ

In the past, we have a candy hunt on the lawn outside the back door. That's pretty much it.

Thanks for the info!!! Do you know if they have the Easter Baskets in the gift shop???

I don't know about that, but I do know that there were the cutest baskets ever at the Disney Store when I was there this weekend.

Teena, what's it like wearing that bunny suit and having the kids chase you around on the lawn looking for eggs and jelly beans? Your devotion to the guests at the hotel is Remarkable!!!!

Marlton Mom

Very funny!

 

[Mitch_in_GA]

Yes, if you get into that situation, mention that you are interested in a full balcony room as soon as one opens up. I would check back with the desk daily if you don't hear anything.

Absolutely. At the time you check-in and find you do not have a full balcony, tell them right then and there that you want them to set you up for a room change for a full balcony the day one becomes available. Usually it is within one or two days. We do this all the time. No worries. Again, be firm. You could get a CM at the front desk that is a new college intern. If you are firm, the CM will get someone who will set that up for you.

Thanks Dee and Teena!

Just upgraded to CL!!!!
So we will be staying CL at YC Sept 20th-28th
I can't wait...it is going to be a surprise to DH & the kids...I am not going to tell him, we already decided not to tell the kids. They know where we be staying but they don't know when. I can't believe I did it. Our first trip to YC and we are staying CL for the first time and I will be a breast cancer survivor too
I think we need it after our summer adventure in the Hospital...Still waiting for news from biopsy. I should hear something tomorrow.
Thank you everyone for your kind wishes, thoughts & prayers.

I totally know how you feel. Bob just told me today to book a LONG cruise to somewhere "different" to celebrate "us" being breast cancer survivors too -- honestly it is just as hard on the hubby!! So tonight I booked a cruise on January 23rd for 11 nights to Panama, Costa Rico, Columbia, Belize and a few other places. Oh, we'll be on a few Disney cruises before then but that will be the celebration cruise ... we booked a suite with butler service and plan on being spoiled rotten! We did the same suite for our Celebrity Alaska cruise two summers ago and we felt like royalty. Can't wait.

I know! I'm afraid to come on the thread and see what she's up to every day!

Teena - that sounds fabulous! What an itinerary. Definitely a "celebration cruise".

This sounds amazing!! So happy for you and Bob! We'll really want to hear the details when you return - Mike would love to travel to South America (might need to wait until the boys are quite a bit older!) Let us know which Disney cruises you plan before then!

Please help me decide where to stay for our early October F&W stay! We know we want to do BC or YC, and are looking at CL at both. We both like that BC has that super close entrance to Epcot which will be good since we'll be spending a lot of time there. On the other hand, I have mobility issues and am concerned that I'll need to conserve steps and do the motor launches which means YC would be better. I'm also a fairly "formal" person and like the atmosphere at YC better than BC, but like being near the restaurants on the BC side (again because of mobility issues.) We are planning to spend a lot of time at SAB, so the BC would probably be better since the areas we would want (deep water & slide) are on that side and the kiddie areas on the YC side which would again save steps.

I truly can't make up my mind. The cost is the exact same. I'd like to say the balcony thing might be the dealbreaker, but we truly don't spend much time on a balcony, especially since we're planning to stay GV. If we were doing LV, then I'd probably want a full balcony, but that just doesn't matter. DH has no opinion and mine flips constantly.

Help!!!
