Are they going to let you make resis for multiple days, or at they limiting you to a single day?

Hope you have blast using the new system!

We were limited to one day between the 21st and the 24th and to MK only. I was surprised to get these without an email notification.

Hi All! I read this thread regularly but rarely post. You are a smart and entertaining bunch!

I was wondering if you know if Crew's Cup still only serves food seasonally? We'll be at BCV 11/10-11/13, which is supposed to be a very busy weekend for the Epcot resorts so I'm hoping that dinner will be served. Their menu selection would suit my family perfectly for an early dinner on our arrival day. I know there isn't a kids menu but my boys could easily split a sandwich or burger. And I've got my eye on those lobster sliders.

DH and I have been there for drinks but that was pre-kids and we didn't eat there. Thanks for your help!

Hubba Hubba Pre kids! FYI you can still be foot loose and fancy free of the kids while at the Yacht Club/ Beach Club/ BV Villas. Get ready to book a sumptuous ADR at the romantic restaurant of your choice. How you ask? Well get a gander at this information from page one of this BC/YC FAQ thread:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kids Programs

Sandcastle Club
Hours: 4:30 PM to 12 midnight
Reservations: (407) WDW-DINE
Designed especially for children ages 4-12 years old.
Supervised activities including free play arcade games, Sega/Nintendo, board games, Disney movies), "play" kitchen and living room area, dolls and stuffed animals, arts and crafts, and much more!! Charge is approximately $12 USD per hour per child, with a two-hour minimum. Sandcastle Club provides a complimentary dinner for children that is available at 6:00 PM, 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM in the Club. Reservations required.

Visit the Sandcastle Open House each day from 1 PM to 3 PM for a variety of video games, toys and arts and crafts. Fun for the whole family!

Kid's Nite Out, Inc.
Kid's Nite Out caregivers can provide one-on-one in-room childcare in the comfort of a Walt Disney World® Resort room. The professional staff of Kid's Nite Out gives the child individual attention by playing a variety of fun-filled activities with him/her including reading books, coloring, or playing "I Spy" games. They can also provide a fun, well-trained sitter to just hang out with the family if they need a father's/mother's helper. Kid's Nite Out also plans and works children's parties, camps, and children's theme conventions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since your rug rats are 2 & 4 years old you would want to go for the second option. I do not have experience with these programs but I can tell you I've heard rave reviews about both of these services and parents report the kids especially loved the experience. Why not take advantage of this wonderful service and have a great meal out with your spouse where you don't have to cut anybody's meat or clean up the spilled milk. Why heck the two of you can even sneak off to the parks and ride the rides to your hearts content or grab an adult beverage and snuggle while the fireworks go off!

Do you see how bad I'm being? I'm trying to TEMPT you! Now before get all "I'll feel so bad if I leave the kids at Disney" on me stop and listen to this. The kids have so much fun doing their own thing with the sitter that they beg to do it again the next day. It's really a win win for everybody. You do so much for the kids 24-7-365. Treat yourself and hubby to some WE time. Walt Disney World is for you too!

Just want to say thank you to all who have provided so much information to this thread. We finally will be arriving at YC for the first time tomorrow and are so excited, and so prepared!

Thank you!!!!!

NM update! I spent the afternoon with my Mom who is now home from the hospital. She was having one of her better days so I had the chance to do a lot for her. We both really enjoyed spending the time with each other and I was thrilled to find her sitting outside on such a beautiful day! It really is a gift to be able to take care of her and we both appreciate all the love that is involved in an undertaking like this. Thanks to everybody who is keeping us in their thoughts and prayers!

Best news I've heard today.....(Only been up 15 minutes but still great news.) Enjoy!

Yes, what MickeyT said!

So nice to hear you are having some better days. I hope the good part of this experience continues.

I think I am ready to say it out loud..... We are going to be at BC CL November 16-23! I usually plan our Disney trips years in advance, but this year I saved our tax return for a rainy day, both DH and I got SW reward cards and I got a " Play, Stay and Dine" post card with a pin #. The stars just seemed to align! The best part is, my boys have no idea, and I am going to try to keep it that way until we pick them up from school and head to the airport.

I am a little disappointed/nervous about HH. We really never drink at home, but my husband and I love the frozen drinks in the afternoons while the boys go down the slide at SAB a million times.

The weather is getting cooler, the days shorter, and my 45 days is 10/2, so I feel like I can say, "we're going to Disney World!"

Thanks for the kind words about the thread!

I have added you to the Be Our Guest list.



Not sure about your Crews Club question. Best thing may be for you to repost this question a week or two before your trip and someone could check it out for you.

Staying at Beach Club Villas for the 1st time April 10-17th, so exited!!! Please add me to Be Our Guest list
Also, would the noodle family be available some fun with us? DD would love to create some wild and wacky photo ops, she is busy planning all kinds of adventures for them (if they graced us with their presence, he-he)!!!
Can't wait to enjoy SAB, not sure who is more excited me or DD
Thank you for creating and maintaining such a great thread! Also, a big thank you to all who share/post here! So helpful in the planning.

I have added you to the Be Our Guest list and Noodle Swap.

Pumped up and excited to share the Beach Club Experience with DW and DD it will be their first times in a DVC room at all, and we have a 2 Bedroom Dedicated.

Love this thread!

Can't wait to be there, and let my little fish of a 20 month old enjoy SAB

5 Days! 5 Days!

and enjoy your trip this week!!!

Our dates are 6th - 20th August.

Thanks

Thanks for clarifying your dates!

Do not use the buses to downtown Disney if you are staying at an Epcot resort!! Take a cab!! We sat there watching at least 2 buses (or more for some) for the other resorts pass (waited 30-40 min a couple was waiting longer) finally I went to an other bus & asked them about BC bus telling him how long we had been waiting. He called it in & a bus showed up only to go to PI & change out the driver so more waiting. Then informed us that not only are we stopping at BC, YC, BW, swan & dolphin but first we were going to TL! Ugh! I should've taken a cab! Don't make my mistake! Just go straight to cab station!
To end on a positive the slushies at goofy's are great!

Does anyone know if the YC Deluxe room is similar to the BC Deluxe room? We are booked at the YC in a GV CL for July 2013 and I am thinking of upgrading to a deluxe room. I have seen pics of the BC deluxe rooms, but I'm having a hard time finding YC ones. I found a link on the first page of this thread, but it's to an old thread with a few YC deluxe pics, but they are from 2008 and show the beds and I think a daybed, don't really show the room. The Disney site states it sleeps 4 and doesn't mention a daybed, so I was wondering if a daybed is even available with that room type . TIA for any information anyone can give. .

First, Ninja Mom, really glad to hear the good news about your mom. Continuing to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Second, due to BC Marketplace menu changes, I think I'm going to do another round of BC Marketplace photos in a few weeks. I may look like a crazy person again, but I'm planning to be up pretty early, so fewer guests will consider reporting me to the BC police. Otherwise, I may need to ask Teena to bail me out.

As for the BC Marketplace menu changes, that's a tough one for us. We're big fans of the breakfast croissants and really sad to see them go. Looking forward to hearing more reviews of the replacement breakfast options.

Can't wait to see your new pics!
My kids really liked the breakfast croissants too, but I'm glad to see a breakfast platter. Now if they would only do Mickey waffles . . .
