2011 Yacht & Beach Club FAQ, Part II

[Christine9125]

I am so feeling the love on this board. Your alls kind word are very encouraging!

I live in Louisa, Ky. I asked for a surgent out in ashland that works out of Kings Daughters. Not a real fan of Three Rivers Hospital. I finally found out I have an appointment with a surgent on July 12th. At that point I will find out if I am getting the surgery. My pain comes and goes. I try to watch what I am eating but things still hurt.

I had a breast reduction in Dec. 08 and it was an out patient surgery. I wish it wasn't. I remember that the nurse told me to wake up and I told her I did not want to wake up it hurt to much. It wasn't my chest! My stomach was killing me. She kept trying to wake me up and I begged her to let me sleep! I was still in and out when they moved me back to the room wear my husband and mom where. They kept telling me to wake up and get ready to go, that people have to go home. My surgery lasted longer because they took alot off of me. I begged them to let me sleep and leave me alone because my stomach was killing me. They kept pushing me to wake up. Well as soon as I got forced to sit up I got sick on both ends violently! They cleaned me up put me in a wheel chair and sent me home. I lived about 30 miles away. I got sick the whole way home and the first night was horrible. I was sick and sore and couldn't open my eyes. I WISHED THEY WOULD HAVE KEPT ME THAT NIGHT!!!!

Now if I have to have the surgery, every one says it is an out patient sugery like my reduction. Honestly that scares the P*** out of me. We live about 40 miles from the hospital and I have to either climb up 14 stairs or go around and climb the side of the hill to get in the house. If I get as sick as I did last time there is no way I will make it! I am hoping that if I am that sick that my husband will push the issue of me staying a night at the hospital!

I don't have stones but my output of my gallbladder is 0% anything below 40% is not normal. I had a Hepatobiliary scan and my gallbladder filled with in the 60 min. even though it was slow and waited to show up during the 48min. And then during the contractions nothing left. They think I have gallbladder dyskinesia.

I am a pooh sized woman so what you said makes total since! I just ate at logans tonight. I had a salad with ranch and hate half of my prime rib and never touched my sweet potato, one roll. Boy am I sorry tonight. Went to go to the Disney store at the mall (sale days) and walked. My stomach blew up like a balloon and got hard as a rock. Then I started have those contraction like pains. Poped a pain pill and sat down till I could get a hold of my self. I just want to have a normal meal and day out with my family without them having to take care of me! Pain is back tonight a little too! Hopefully pain pill will work and I will get sleep tonight.

Thanks for all the care and concern, I feel like I have this extended family who is wrapping big mickey arms around me!

I have had 4 surgeries since last August, the second was my gallbladder. I woke right up, had no issues with the gallbladder surgery, the other 3 I had trouble waking up. 1st surgery in August 2010-outpatient, but was at the hospital from 5:30 am to 5 pm waking up, they did not rush me. 2nd was gallbladder, was there from 11 am to 3 pm, no issues waking up at all. 3rd I was there from 12 noon to 7 pm, they gave me the option of staying overnight and I refused. 4th was my hyterectomy, was suppose to be an outpatient (stay over 23 hours) but was in 2 nights. You have a right to stay, it is still considered outpatient if you are there less then 23 hours after your surgery is complete. Tell the doctors and nurses you have trouble waking up and you got sick with the last surgery. Sounds to me they didn't give you the meds to help with getting sick. I hope all goes well for you and you don't have to wait much longer. By the time they found out what was wrong with me, I was eating Jello and fat free pudding.

One of the other things that you might consider is getting a hotel room near the hospital to give you the extra time to recover. This would allow you to put off the long trip back for a day or two. You would be closer to the hospital too if you needed to go back for any reason.

I know that that would be an expense financially but you have to weigh the cost versus the benefit with that one. Perhaps Price line or one of the other "El Cheapo" price shopping services could help you out with the room costs.

I really hope you start to feel better soon. I have a feeling that once you have the gall bladder surgery you will be back to your 'old' self, only better!

Feel good!

Marlton Mom

PS For those of you at the Beach Club there was an urgent care type center in the Orlando airport! They must be close to the resort as well if you are in need of assistance....

Hi, all. Add us to the growing list of folks staying at the BCV this year. It's one of our home resorts and certainly our favorite.

This year, DH and I will be traveling there with DD28 and her boyfriend. We'll have plenty of room for two adults couples with a 2 Bedroom lock-off. DD still loves WDW after all these years.

Our dates are November 19 - 25.

heather, try not to stress too much over your gallbladder surgery. I worked for nearly 20 years as an RN, 10 of those in critical care, the last 10 in the recovery room, before returning to anesthesia school to be come an anesthetist. I, too, had a non-functioning gallbladder when I was in nursing school many years ago. I was sick as a dog, unable to eat much of anything, until I had it removed. I live about 30 miles from Paducah, KY, in a rural area also, and I stayed the one night in the hospital because of this. (remember, though, this was nearly 20 years ago and honestly, it wasn't really that necessary). I felt so much better after I got out of surgery! I was nauseous, but after a shot of vistaril, that went away too and I NEVER took anything for pain stronger than tylenol.
I know you are a "lightweight" when it comes to waking up post op, but I wouldn't worry too much. Remember, you'll be having this surgery laporascopically, which means you won't be "opened up"...you'll have what some call "camera surgery" where the surgeon makes several small incisions and takes the gallbladder out via a scope. Pain is markedly decreased at incision site because of this, however, you WILL most likely have strange pains in your chest, shoulder blades, or neck. This is quite normal usually as they insufflate your abdomen with CO2 gas to "separate" the organs...it's to give more room to work and not touch anything they shouldn't with the scopes. It's impossible for them to get all of the gas out of your abdomen, so it will sometimes "settle" in strange areas and cause pain. The best way to get rid of this is movement. Walk walk walk and turn turn turn. That will help the gas find a way out and decrease the pain.
Good luck, heather, and keep us updated! Hope you feel better soon!

ODD QUESTIONS:

1. Refill mug....any fresh brewed ice tea available? I know it is available in Club Level lounge but wondered if this was available at the "food courts" either at YC or on property elsewhere/.I can't recall if fresh brewed ice tea is popular at WDW...

thanks! mel

Club Level -- yes, fresh brewed tea.

Refillable mug stations -- no, only the Peak tea from the machine...and definitely not as good as fresh brewed. Also not sure if they even had tea as an option anywhere but Marketplace. I seem to remember my husband drinking diet Coke instead at the pool because there was no tea, but I could be mistaken.

I know this will probably not work for you but I mailed down my ancient and battle worn Mr. Coffee Iced Tea maker to the resort along with all my Tea 'fixens'. I had Green grocer deliver the lemon juice since I use about 6-8 ounces of that per pitcher. I brought with me my 32 ounce squeeze bottles and I would take that to the parks in the morning and the evening.

It was so hot out that the tea kept me hydrated when normally I would not have the patience to deal with the little 16 ounce refillable mugs. You could set the room fridge to the point where it would start to freeze the contents so that was perfect for the parks as well.

I used the heck out of that Iced tea maker over the years so I was pleased to discover that it's replacement for home was only $19.99. As I checked out of the Beach Club, I bid my old cracked and worn friend adieu as I savored the thought of a brand new tea machine without all the irritating age quirks of the old one.

I like to think that somewhere, in some landfill in central Florida, the sea gulls and rats are screaming in delight at their new addition to the pile. Perhaps the next time I see Remy at the Chefs Du France I will ask him if he is making good use of the old girl.

Signed,
Iced tea for me in Marlton!

 

[creativeamanda]

It seems to me that in the rooms, there are packets of the Twinnings tea bags. I really didn't look at it, because we aren't normally tea drinkers, but it seems like that was an option for hot tea in the rooms.

 

[SondraC]

Hope everyone is having a good summer and plenty of vacations planned!!!!

Can someone tell me if there is a "secret" laundry room at the YC, like they have at the BC (near 1532)???

Sorry, I don't have an answer to your question, but there is a laundry room in Beach Club?? I only know of the one outside near the quiet pool.

 

[Feckless]

Hi all! This thread rocks, but you all knew that.

I'm booking BC GV this week for late April to early May 2012 shortly... Thought I could wait but there was a post saying there is already no availability for certain April dates (!!!) so I will be booking sooooooon! After looking at every onsite resort, BC is definitely the one for us.

Since I havent set up tickers yet, by way of introduction, I'm coming from Atlantic Canada with a DH, DD (11 at travel time) and DS (9 at travel time). My claim to fame here is that I was at WDW the week it opened in 1971 - we were on an epic family driving vacation (I was 4, brother 5, sister 10) and my family decided to check it out. It was empty, according to my mom. I remember having the bejesus scared out of me in the Haunted Mansion but not a whole lot else. Visited again when I was 10, and brought my own family there in summer 2009 - stayed off site. Ive been dying to go back and stay onsite while the kids are young and so I'm just making it happen!

Looking forward to hanging out here and learning all I can (ADR advice, anyone? LOL) while I wait for the time to tick by!

Melanie.

Thanks, I thought that if they had a secret laundry room at the BC, that there must be one somewhere at the YC, other than the one by the quiet pool.

I am so feeling the love on this board. Your alls kind word are very encouraging!

I live in Louisa, Ky. I asked for a surgent out in ashland that works out of Kings Daughters. Not a real fan of Three Rivers Hospital. I finally found out I have an appointment with a surgent on July 12th. At that point I will find out if I am getting the surgery. My pain comes and goes. I try to watch what I am eating but things still hurt.

I had a breast reduction in Dec. 08 and it was an out patient surgery. I wish it wasn't. I remember that the nurse told me to wake up and I told her I did not want to wake up it hurt to much. It wasn't my chest! My stomach was killing me. She kept trying to wake me up and I begged her to let me sleep! I was still in and out when they moved me back to the room wear my husband and mom where. They kept telling me to wake up and get ready to go, that people have to go home. My surgery lasted longer because they took alot off of me. I begged them to let me sleep and leave me alone because my stomach was killing me. They kept pushing me to wake up. Well as soon as I got forced to sit up I got sick on both ends violently! They cleaned me up put me in a wheel chair and sent me home. I lived about 30 miles away. I got sick the whole way home and the first night was horrible. I was sick and sore and couldn't open my eyes. I WISHED THEY WOULD HAVE KEPT ME THAT NIGHT!!!!

Now if I have to have the surgery, every one says it is an out patient sugery like my reduction. Honestly that scares the P*** out of me. We live about 40 miles from the hospital and I have to either climb up 14 stairs or go around and climb the side of the hill to get in the house. If I get as sick as I did last time there is no way I will make it! I am hoping that if I am that sick that my husband will push the issue of me staying a night at the hospital!

I don't have stones but my output of my gallbladder is 0% anything below 40% is not normal. I had a Hepatobiliary scan and my gallbladder filled with in the 60 min. even though it was slow and waited to show up during the 48min. And then during the contractions nothing left. They think I have gallbladder dyskinesia.

I am a pooh sized woman so what you said makes total since! I just ate at logans tonight. I had a salad with ranch and hate half of my prime rib and never touched my sweet potato, one roll. Boy am I sorry tonight. Went to go to the Disney store at the mall (sale days) and walked. My stomach blew up like a balloon and got hard as a rock. Then I started have those contraction like pains. Poped a pain pill and sat down till I could get a hold of my self. I just want to have a normal meal and day out with my family without them having to take care of me! Pain is back tonight a little too! Hopefully pain pill will work and I will get sleep tonight.

Thanks for all the care and concern, I feel like I have this extended family who is wrapping big mickey arms around me!

I had the surgery with Lapiroscope (I know I'm spelling it wrong, lol) and even though it was a day surgery, I stayed over night. I don't do surgery well! But it was the best thing, after a week post op, I couldn't believe the difference, and couldn't believe how much pain i lived with until it was gone. I felt like a new woman

 

[Sue M]

Now You listen here mr spidy for brains! You leave my BC/YC people alone with your corned beef hash posts about buying junk from some crock of a web site. Most of the people who post/read here have more sense than to patronize your crooked establishment... and besides, we are saving up for our next Disney Vacation and we have no need for any other form of entertainment. We are too busy being placed on hold for ADR's or figuring out how to use a spreadsheet again to plan every minute of our Disney Day to play video games!

I'm sorry regular readers but it really pops my bubbles when I see lame attempts at hash being put on our beloved forum.

I'll go back to the pool now and cool off! I can hear the Lazy River calling my name..... (paul, Paul, PAUL!!!!). Oh wait, that's Pastina. Gotta run!

Paul Noodle

No, don't hold back, tell him how you really feel

As far as I know, BC CL still has drinks and light snacks available 24 hours (occasional brief closings for cleaning/restocking)

I don't have a photo specifically of the toaster, but I looked at my lounge pictures and here is one lurking in the background (July 2010)

 

[beachclub]

does anyone have an update on the construction status?
Has it completed at the beach club and moved to the Yacht Club yet?
If it is at the yacht club is there any idea of completion time?
I want to switch my reservation possibly from the beach club to the
yacht club in October but I was there when the beach club was getting their siding done in May it was a terrible sight so if this is the same situation in October at the Yacht then i will just stay put at the beach knowing construction has moved on.
TIA

It's been a little over a week since we returned, but it was going, IMO, very slowly over at the Beach Club and judging from their progress, I doubt the scaffolding is all down.

Someone should be along who can give you a diffinitive answer.
