2011 Yacht & Beach Club FAQ, Part II

[MMrules]

Great job on the pictures MMrules. Feels great to share some of the magic with others doesn't it! I saved my photos to a photobucket account but I believe I saved them as thumbnails. When I try to post they look like a postage stamp![/QUOTE]

Thank you! I am not very computer savvy so it was a trial and error process. It is great to share with others so they can see what some of the rooms have to offer. I had requested an Epcot room and 5th floor but we were on the 3rd floor and it was great! I wouldn't mind getting a view of the France pavillion either. Maybe next time. I am planning dates to go next Aug. to BCV (as long as I can get it at the 7th month mark) but don't know how I will last til then... I miss it so much!!!

Hi Dee,

I have a few from my May stay at the Villas if you would like them. Let me know.

HI- the pictures I got today of BCV were from you, right?

Thank you and MMrules for the pictures- I'll get them up on page 1 as soon as I can. I also need to take a look and update the Guest Lists.

I have been typing my fingers to the bone providing reading material for someone who has been "noodling" me

Yes. They were from me. I forgot to include my Dis name in the email.

We'll be at the BCV starting on Dec. 6th. Our first time during the holiday season and only second BCV stay. Can't wait!

Does anyone happen to know where at Yacht Club we can purchase the refillable mugs?

The baby pics of Lilly--how cute and so fresh. My oldest will be 23. Time really does fly, so enjoy every moment.

Hello disadventurer!

This is from the first page of the thread:

Where can I purchase and refill a refillable mug?

Refillable Mugs may be purchased and filled at the Beach Club Marketplace (self-serve station), Beaches and Cream (CM assisted service, get into the ice cream takeout line), Hurricane Hanna's (self-serve station) and the Ale and Compass Lounge in the Yacht Club resort (coffee/tea self-service, juices and soda behind the bar).

I can confirm the refill mugs were available to purchase at Marketplace, Beaches and Cream and Hurricane Hanna's in May, and I know another poster confirmed availability at Ale and Compass around the same time. We love refill mugs - I even get one when we are staying CL!

Hi Pixarmom! Love your name Thanks for getting back so quickly! I must apologize for not checking the beginning of the thread. Truly appreciate your answer Must scan the thread in the future.

This will be our first time at the YC and we're pretty excited! Have always wanted to stay here, and now we will give it a try. Everyone here has great pics and wonderful stories to share; and the pool, well, can't wait to try the slide.

Thirteen days to go!

Woohooo just received the reply from IPO my request for a wedding gazbo view has been added to my portfolio!!! Only golf lessons left to book!! I do believe we have a trip almost put together!!!

Now if DD DOESN'T go and move to Dallas before this trip all will be GREAT!! I purchased our airfare when the dates became available and now she is trying to move to Dallas on me It's really sad when they grow up and decide to move to another time zone... nope not taking this news very well!! She's in he's a great guy, but really another time zone!!! And to top that off Jetblue my airline of choice does not fly into Dallas... I will be forced to fly on Southwest (i know lots of people love them) just change I don't really like!

Oh well I will deal with changing her airline/fare when that time comes.. we can't even say IF because it is going to come just a matter of when. She is in round 4 of an interview process. As much as I want her to stay close to me in NYC I do know that moving there is probably the best thing for her, and I will end up there in a few years, but its still very upsetting.

PS Love when the ticker says I have a little under 4 months to go!!!

 

[Tinkbellfan]

Six days until check in and I have managed to keep it a secret from my DD(11). She's going to be some mad at me when I wake her up next Wednesday at 5:30am but I guess I'll have to tell her where we are going then!

Thank you! When I registered, it took two seconds to decide on a screen name. Our boys have loved all things Pixar since our oldest (now a pre-teen) was a year old. They even love Cars 2, which I find a little harder to love than all the rest of the Pixar movies.

No problem at all and no apologies necessary! There's a lot of information on this thread! The only reason I know about that part of the Q&A is because "refillable mugs" is one of my favorite topics.

I see your ticker for MNSSHP! We've always wanted to do that, but have never been to WDW in September/October! Where will you stay?

Have a great trip and hope you enjoy YC!!

I kept my secret until last weekend, we leave in 8 1/2 days. All they know is we are going to DW, they think we are staying at POP, but we are staying BC CL Deluxe Room, they won't find that out until we pull up in front of BC

 

[travelgoddess]

I kept hearing now that they're done with BC, YC is next? Anyone know the timeframe for this if it's actually true?
We're going 10/28-11/5, YC CL GV, Does the GV have a view of illuminations?
We're finally in the double digits and starting to get excited, it's been 3 years since we've been to Disney. We're gonna do MNSSHP on 10/30, and spend lots of time at F&W festival.

Yay! Don't keep us in suspense! More details, please!!!

 

[YCFAN]

Booked a night at AKL CL because my DS10 is so crazy about watching the animals from the balcony. We're just going to spend time at the resort. We are going for HIS birthday after all!!

HAVE A FANTASTIC TIME!!!

I am so *jealous* not to be attending the meet! But I'm sure there will be lots of tails to tell.

Have an amazing time and Happy Birthday to the birthday boy! We can't wait to hear all about this trip, I know it will be magical

 

[vwlfan]

First fact: Going in 18 days (but who's counting?)

Second fact: I am attached at the hip to my iPad.

Third fact: I don't think there is wifi at BC is there?

Fourth fact: I was too cheap to get 3G ( ps, I do have an iPhone with 3G)

So ...

Should I bring the iPad even though it won't be connected to the net but I will be able to use many apps in my "spare time " or should I I go through the bends and wean off this Apple Beast?

Then again I could just bring my Kindle for pool time.

Whaddya think?

I feel your pain! I have 2 daughters. One moved out, even though it was only at best 2km away, I was shattered. I can't imagine how I'd feel with a different time zone!

Your trip plans sound great!
