Thank you to all who put so much time into this thread...it is awesome! We only have 3 more days until our dream stay at Beach Club...can't wait! (Not sure why only half my ticker shows up....) Our goal is to eventually stay at all the resorts, but I have a sneaky suspicion that we may find our favorite after this trip! :cool1:
Quick question....do the lifeguards check wristbands at the slide entrance?
 
Good Morning Beach Club Friends (you feel like family),

I am here asking for prayers for my Dad who had a heart attack on Thursday morning. We are anxiously waiting for good news. The doctors said it could be days before we know if he will recover. It is so hard to wait and not know...

Thank you all for positive thoughts and prayers.

Adding my prayers for your father. :grouphug:

Yacht and Beach Club Voluptuous Noodle Swap

Meet the Noodle Family:

5754884767_ebd7587814.jpg


Paul, Pastina, Penne and Ramen

They will making their first visit to Disney World and the Beach Club in June 2011. They have decided to take up permanent residence at the resort and will be spending time with different families as part of a "noodle relocation program"

**********************************************************************************************

Well, after their introduction to the Beach Club/Yacht Club and Stormalong Bay, the Noodle Family has decided to stick around. The first handoff was successful!

We want to make sure that we can keep these guys around for as long as possible- so here are some suggestions

1) Apparently the noodles' skin is impervious to tattoos. The sharpies did not work. So, no drawing on the noodles- pictures are still encouraged, though.

2) Please exchange contact info with the family you are handing off to or receiving the noodles from.

3) If for some reason the noodle handoff does not go as planned OR if you are the custodians of noodle prior to a "GAP" period, please return the noodle family to Bell Services, using the pickup name "Mrs. Noodle". Bell Services will be their default "home away from home"

4) If you are picking up the noodles from Bell Services, please tip a couple of dollars. It won't take the CMs very long to figure out what is going on or to notice that the same noodles are returning again and again, but as long as everyone is polite and generous, I don't think there will be a problem.

5) If there is a problem with your handoff or pickup, or you suspect that the noodle family may be MIA, please alert natebenma or Marlton Mom by PM ASAP. If a noodle recovery team needs to be assembled, we are on it!

Thanks, and enjoy!

Please get a picture of your family or yourself with the noodles when you have them. Even better would be a picture of you AND the person you are handing them off to if possible. This is a great way to meet your fellow Yacht & Beach Club FAQ thread friends over something extremely silly!

If something happens to the noodle, it's OK... really! Just let us know and then some one down the line can try to replace it if they get the chance. This is all for fun so don't freak out if the noodles get lost or damaged. Have a great vacation and take care of the noodles with out fretting about it!

Pictures of the noodles engaging in your vacation activities are WELCOME! Say you are having a drink by the pool... take a picture of the noodle (with yourself as well if you want) 'posing' with the drink and post it on the Yacht & Beach Club FAQ Thread. Be creative! The sillier the better and an imaginative caption will help to set the scene and tell the 'story'.

The families involved in each hand-off would be responsible for contacting each other to arrange a time/place for the swap, or if the noodles need to go to Bell Services for a short vacation, please pass along the claim number to the next family and leave the package under the name "Noodle"

We will be at BCV Nov 4 through Nov 12 and would love to fill the gap with the noodle family. Send me a PM if possible. Thanks Jenn :goodvibes

So sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed that all is well. :grouphug:
 
I still cant believe that the Deluxe resorts don't have WiFi. I would not expect it to be free, but I would expect it to be available! :confused3

That being said, I brought my iPad to Cuba this past May knowing full well that there would be no Internet service. I used it for videos and to read my e-books when my ereader crapper out on me. I loaded up a bunch of stuff for the kids which was really helpful when we were taking a sun break and Scooby Doo turned out to be in Spanish. :rotfl:

I hate that I'm considering bringing the laptop because of the lack of WiFi. Didn't I read that there us poolside and lobby WiFi? Or am I imagining?

We've brought a wireless router in the past and that's worked well for us. I totally agree that no WiFi is crazy!

I'm sure this information is available somewhere but I'm not sure where. Can someone tell me what toiletries will be available in our rooms at the BCR-CL? Do they provide children's body wash and shampoo? Thanks!

I've never seen children's "products" in any room at Disney. I haven't specifically stayed CL at BC but we've stayed CL at Poly (and regular room at YC, CR, Poly and villas at BC and SSR). We always bring the children's shampoo, condition, and body wash with us.

No special children's toiletries. They provide H20 brand shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotions. My kids like them. They smell good and don't cause skin irritation. If you're looking for something tear-free, you'll have to bring it yourself.

You all are in our prayers and thoughts. We hope you hear wonderful news soon!:grouphug:
 
About one week ago I posted that we got sent a second welcome letter and form to fill out from the Beach Club IPO department. Well even though I filled it out before at that time I didn't mention my Mom's request of for a Half a Red Grapefruit during breakfast, because she mentioned it wouldn't be a big deal. Well I guess it was a sign or something that they sent us another form because this time she decided to request it, so I filled out the form again and added the Grapefruit request.
 
I got $67 from MHT(NH) to MCO for our September trip.
If you are flying SW keep checking them everyday cause if the flight goes down you can get a credit for a future flight(trip to Disney :rolleyes: ) & you won't get charged a change fee. We did that last year booked at $119, it dropped down to $99 then again to $87. I had to change twice & I got charged nothing....used my credit for return flights at $87. It was great one of the many reasons I love SW :lovestruc

I booked my flights from Islip (Long Island) for $159 in March. I kept checking everyday and now I have $89 each way and almost $500 dollars in Southwest credit! Time to plan another trip!:cool1:

My trip is coming up fast and I have a few questions I hope someone can answer:
1. How is the bug situation this time of year? Should I plan on bringing a lot of bug spray?

2. Does anyone know if my 15 yr old needs any ID to board the plane (Southwest)?

3.I am not staying club level:sad1: My son is turning 16 on the 2nd day of our trip. Is there someone I can contact to possibly bring balloons or something festive to our room?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. This is such a great thread. I learned so much and appreciate everyone who contributes. I am so excited to be at the beach club in 12 days!
