Dee IMO you've done a FAB job on all the BC/YC/BCV FAQ threadsIt can be natural to go off topic, but I enjoy it...again JMHO. Everyone here has been kind to me, and I've gotten my questions answered when needed!
I will answer your questions to the best of my ability in RED.FAQ in the front, conversations afterwards.
I like to get tips from people I get to know even if that brings it a little ....oh yeah.....
Background Info: DD6 is a good swimmer and last week during swim lessons did the whole length of the pool without a floatie. However, even with continuous swim lessons we as always need to keep a good eye on her. I am still bringing her floatie because we are not permitting her in deep water without the floatie and a close eye OR her without a floatie and DH or I with her.
1. Does anyone else have some good spots by SB where I can keep an eye on DD6, but it's not that noisy? The sandy space is to "little kid" for her.
I'd recommend the spot right in front of the back of Hurricane Hannah's, which is where they sell the pool toys, rent rafts and rent lockers. This is right at that area where they play volleyball. On the map you will see a large pool area behind Hurricane Hannah's. The other front side of HH's is the seating area and walkway by the lake.
While at the hotel pool, you will see an area with an overhead line covered with pool noodles. There is a lot of seating, the water is elementary school age friendly as far as the depths are concerned and I'm pretty darn sure they have life vests somewhere at the pool that she can use. This area is also perfect for her because it's where they traditionally play the pool games in the afternoon and that attracts a lot of kids her age to that area, so hopefully she can find a friend to play with.
2. I know she will love the pool slide, but how noisy is it over by this section?
I'm not sure about the little pirate slide area but the area where the big slide dumps out is not too noisy because the kids using the slide are too busy high tailing it out of that area to get back to the slide line.
3. For anyone who has gone in June, how crowded will the pool be (scale 1 - 10; 10 being insane)?
Have not gone in June so I can't help you there!
4. With the chance of My Disney Experience being in place by our June trip has anyone heard if the bracelet will work for admission into SB or will we have to wear two bracelets?
We have not heard yet about how the bracelets will effect Storm Along Bay. Many of us are asking this question but no information is forthcoming as of yet. Stay tuned for further details.
I'm so excited I remember her from 6 years ago when we stayed at BCV, she's a lovely person and I can't wait to go back now

!!! This is why I keep coming back, I like the social aspect and meeting people from all over!! That's the reason I love that my son plays travel hockey!! Meeting kids from all over the country and Canada and making friendships !! I live vicariously through those with their snippets of TRs 
!!! Yes, it is tedious to weed through the thread, but oh well, it passes the time when I'm sitting in the ice rink during practice, or waiting for the train that is slowly going by!! I don't read too many books, and so currently I'm reading the exciting book of Beach and Yacht FAQ 
It's exciting, suspenseful, and motivating 
!!!
Dear 1971, Thanks for asking your questions and being patient enough for the person that might have the answer to come along and reply!

Thanks Ninja Mom - I will try.

Unfortunately, my DD6 likes to keep up with her DSis16 and DBro13 so she will be going down the big pool slide. (She's been going down the Poly slide since she was 2 - my little adventurer.) I am wondering how the area is surrounding where the big pool slide ends, anyone?
3. For anyone who has gone in June, how crowded will the pool be (scale 1 - 10; 10 being insane)?

I'll keep trying, but basically the worst case scenario would work as well when the hotel is at or almost at capacity. How busy has anyone seen it?

Thanks . I'm just wondering if anyone has heard anything that I might have missed.

I enjoy my pool time, but don't care for the quiet pools, but like a certain level of non-chaos.
My favorite view is the woods view. It is quiet on that side and there is a nice sidewalk that takes you close to the Epcot entrance.
Yes the first page of you thread is helpful. But I do not know why off topic posts are allowed. This should be solely YC BC comments. Now, so I am not a hypocrite I will let you know my review of YC CL. YC CL was one of the best I have been to. I love the fact that they have a refrigerators for their sodas instead of a bucket. The food was tasty and plentiful. The cm's were nice and accommodating. The room was the same as a non cl room at yc. The lounge was actually kept open after 10pm which I loved so I could get a cup of tea, sodas, coffee and some snacks were left out. I liked having private access to the lounge on the elevator. I didn't like boardwalk for that reason as you could be on the 3rd or 4th flr. Turn down service was nice and the mints were delicious. It was too cold for SAB and HH was set to be opening a few days after our departure, but the menu was out and I am excited to try it this weekend. Any other CL questions you may have please pm and I will help you as much as I can. I look forward to staying at YC CL again, this coming weekend.
I don't comment a whole lot, but have found the majority of the information I need on the first few pages.
Hmmm... I've never stayed in the Villa's so I have no idea what to ask for or if I should just take the luck of the draw. I'm not a big fan of wooded areas so I don't know if I'd be ok with that area since I'll be in the room by myself... All of my trips this year are solo trips and I'm a chicken!!
Thank you for the quick response though and I will check the area out when I'm at Disney in just 25 short days

The pool is great by the way if you a nice quiet place to hang out. We enjoyed it a lot on our last trip.
