So happy to be back on this board! Booked our return stay, Beach Club this time, instead of YC, August 22-28. Our last stay was 2013. Now I am debating upgrading to Club Level, never tried that.
back!!!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
Good luck with your decision about CL. We like it because it offers a quick, but filling convenient breakfast that gets us to the parks by EMH rope drop.
Now that I finally caught up on this thread I started going back to the previously closed thread. I do enjoy th posts, pictures and humor. Was looking at photos posted by DawnMaree, noticed that they were from the timeframe when we were there last summer. Given the fact that DD spent about at least 6-7 hoirs everyday at SAB, I looked closely at those. Sure enough, there was DD playing volleyball.
That's funny!
Robyn (Disneymomx7) saw herself in some pictures that were posted here, too.
Alright Disney. You win. Feel free to remove the "maybe" tag for me on the guest list
@natebenma
After the credit from Disney and watching 7 in 7 with the new rooms. I just have to splurge and do BC. I have penciled it in as my annual fall race trip resort! I will just have to save money for it by staying cheaper for my winter/spring trips.
Here is to hoping for good weather in early November so I can take advantage of SAB! In 2013 for wine and dine weekend it was a little too chilly!
Disney always wins!!!
Here's an official
Kool-Aid cocktail.
Love these pics
so much attention to detail
Hi! I can't remember if you have posted here before, so
Do you have an upcoming stay?
:
Last time we were at WDW we stayed at BWV. DH is not "Disneyfied" but that nearly did it...he loved it. He wants to try BCV for or Christmas trip this year, however I know he will be disappointed if he doesn't have a view of the BW or Epcot...we are renting a studio. Does anyone know of a BCV room with a view of Epcot or Boardwalk? Thanks in advance...so excited to see it at Christmas!! Dream Trip!!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1.
As others have stated, the views from the BCV rooms are not considered spectacular- there are views of the BC resort, the quiet pools, looking toward EPCOT (woods, mostly), the canal and I think the access road. Not sure if I am missing some of the other possible views.
Is this a studio, 1BR, 2BR? I so badly want a view of Spaceship Earth!!
so jealous!
This room is not at BVC, it is a Beach Club resort room.
Thank you Natebenma!! We are actually checking in July 30 and out Aug 2 so probably July. The last surprise trip was 2 years ago for oldest DDs completion of middle school and to see our cousin during her CP. We stayed at the Poly the last trip and we loved it. We are trying to work our way through all the resorts!
Got it!!!
I'll put you on the Be Our Guest list.
Hi guys! I'm a complete newbie here but we've decided to change from the Wilderness Lodge to the BC for our upcoming September vacation. I'm mostly excited to have the convenience of Epcot and HS so close.
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
I love the easy access to EPCOT!!! You can pop in a quick lunch or a nice dinner or end the night with Illuminations and you are back in your room before 9:30!
My daughter had a take out milkshake from B&C 3 weeks ago. (Not sit down--from the walk-up line.) New policy?
Thanks for sharing that! Not sure it is a new policy (hope so), but it could just be a matter of a CM being flexible if it is not too busy at the window. Or a situation like the Sunken Treasure, the discontinued drink that bartenders at BC/YC/HH will still make upon request if they can.
Darn, darn, darn, darn… Was the room in good condition? We are going in July, and I snagged a discount for a deluxe CL room with the summer rates yesterday. This is our only option for staying CL with a family of 5 for anything other than a standard view. We hadn't stayed BC since '12 because our room/the hallways were in such poor condition when we stayed there, but the refurb was done so well that BC got pulled back into our rotation when we tried out a new CL room for a night in December. I know there are only 6 of these rooms: I'm assuming the 4th floor has been done (which would be 2 rooms), and hopefully the 3rd floor will be done by July (which would be another 2 rooms)? At that point, maybe only the 1st and 2nd floors (1 room on each floor) might still be in the process of being redone, giving us a 4 in 6 chance of getting a refurbed room? Does anyone have any sort of timetable as to where construction will be by July?
Or should I just stay SV?
We don't.
As far as I know, the crews are still working on rooms on the 3rd floor, but I don't know how far along they are. I think a lot of the rooms will be done by early July, like you suggest, the 3rd floor should be done by then.
Does anyone know how late HH's serves food till?
Great question!
I've seen them close everything up at HH around 8pm. That is when they close the refill station and I would assume the food, too.
Do you (or anyone) know if the closing time varies with the time of year or pool hours, or is pretty set at 8? And, hmmmm, does the bar keep the same hours or stay open later? HockeyMomR and I had Sunken Treasures at the bar in August after Illuminations so we were still there until at least 10:30 or so, but I don't know if they were still serving food at that time.
Oops! We're reserved at Beach Club
Got it! Thanks!
Does anyone know where I can get FL discounts info. For rates??
Our middle daughter is already planning her hs graduation trip- 3 years ahead of time- and wants to run a Disney marathon as part of that celebration. We're definitely hooked on the magic in this house!
for all the information on this board! It is very helpful! Here's hoping for a room near the step-saving "secret entrance"!

, but will you add us to the guest list? There are 8 of us (DIL, MIL, BIL, BIL's GF, DH, DD6, DD2, and me) coming down to BCV May 24 - 31. We're visiting the dark side for 2 days first, so I get my Harry Potter fix before Disney, and I can't wait!
