Hi Everyone!

We will be arriving on Friday! Please let me know if there are any pictures you need or things I can check on. We're staying in a 2-bedroom villa at BCV (and others in our family have another 2-bedroom).

Yippee!

Teena,
Thank you for your insight. I think I did the right thing. Question though.

" At the Beach Club, there are only two club level rooms in water view and only one in standard view club level and none in garden view club level."

The above info...is that relative to 1 bedrooms? Or is this about standard club level rooms? I'm hoping for a water view, of either SAB or crescent lake. It's our 20th anniversary trip....don't laugh but the last thing I want is a king size bed. Hubby snores so 2 queens is the only way to go....even on an anniversary trip.

Thanks T!

No, that is in reference to king beds. The advantage of the one bedroom suite in my opinion is you are guaranteed a king bed (if that's a biggy for you). There are only three king beds total in the regular club level rooms on the fifth floor, two are in club level water view rooms and the other one is in a club level standard view room.

So obviously you are like me and prefer two queen beds. Therefore, a one bedroom suite would not be ideal for you. There is only a king bed in the one bedroom suites!

You are definitely better off saving money and going in a regular club level room ... and if you aren't planning on spending time on the balcony and looking at the view, book the standard or garden view club level rooms instead of the water view club level room and save lots more money!!!! The only time I ever look at the view or walk out on the balcony is the moment we check into the room. After that, the only time I'm in the room is to change clothes, shower or sleep and I've got the drapes closed so who cares what is out there to look at. I'd rather have a nice dinner at Artist Point every night or a massage ... and that's the price difference pretty much between the standard view and the water view club level rooms. Just something to think about.

One week today we check in for our first BC stay, beyond excited!!!!

 

[nannette]

Just checked in for our flight for tomorrow!! My DH actually said on the weekend he is getting a little excited ... I'm not sure if that was said for my benefit or if he is actually getting a little excited (takes a lot to excite him)!! I just ordered a gift to be delivered to the room tomorrow welcoming him home (some drinks and Disney snacks)!! I am very excited even if he isn't!!!

24 hours and we will be in Orlando... and it's cool here today so I can't wait for what will be high 80's while we are there! I approve

1.5 more hours of work then it's mani/pedi time

I just logged onto MY Disney Experience and saw that we would be getting Magic Bands and can now customize. DH said he wants gray but I convinced him that he should pick a color He said "gray is a color". Later out of the blue he said " I changed my mind I want a color" so now he is deciding

Yep!!

One week today we check in for our first BC stay, beyond excited!!!!

Great news... Have fun

staying at the YC in February for our Disney wedding. I can't waaaaaaaaaaaait! I love hearing everyone's experiences. Makes me even more excited!!

You miss a few days and there is SO much to catch up on!!! I must make myself read and check in daily.

I am beyond jealous of everyone that is either at BC/YC right now or has just left. I'm dying to go. I'm counting the days till my ADRs can be made and making lists of where we are going to eat, waiting (im)patiently for May 2014 hours to be released...did I mention I'm a planner? I think I was a travel agent in a past life.

I'm currently trying to decide if I want to upgrade us from a CL standard view to a water view OR to a premium dining plan so I can use the recreation and childcare. We attempted to talk the mother in law into going with us and paying for an extra room/ticket/dining plan, but she can't say yes or no. I'm done waiting on her. Does she NOT understand I am a planning crazed person? I NEED to know now!

Just a quick comment; checked in yesterday morning at the Yacht Club; where I have never been; took myself on a tour and of course found Teena over in the lobby at the Beach Club.

What a wonderful lady! Very kind and helpful And she gave me some great ideas for potential birthday/Christmas presents for my 12 soon to be 13 niece.

Thanks for the smiles Teena

I've been waiting to see that image on the My Disney Experience page for months now. Tomorrow midday, we hit the Beach (Club)

To all you lucky duckies staying at YC/BC, enjoy your stays!!!
Good luck with Magic Bands. Try a Sunken Treasure or two. Wallow in a Kitchen Sink

Holy cow, I've missed almost a month's worth of posts. That silly thing called "work" has cut into my DIS boards time.

I have a friend who had to cancel her October trip but had already purchased her MNSSHP tickets....she has three adult and one child admissions for October 20. PM me if you would like to save a little money and go to the party!
