Well, nothing works as planned... now our flight has been canceled. We will arrive on 18.2. instead of 19.2.
Now we have 3 different bookings for our BC stay. Wondering if they can manage to give us one room for the complete stay or we have to move twice... (first night is garden view, other nights standard view)
In case you wonder why we did not simply prolong our stay: first stay was special offer via Disney UK. Then we switched to Disney US for room only reservation because it was much cheaper.
Sorry to hear about your cancelled flight. I hate it when that happens!
I think it is very possible that you would be able stay in the same room (although you may need to check in and check out with the different packages).
Am I assuming correctly that you would prefer to spend the first night in a standard view room, even though you are booked GV, if it means you don't have to switch rooms during your stay? If that is the case, I would try to add that to the reservation. "If possible, would prefer to stay in same room from Feb 18 until checkout day".
Merry Christmas to all my dis family!
My mom got me the coolest gift. When we ate at the Flying Fish, I commented on how much I loved the espresso cups. My mom must have asked the waitress where they came from. She got me four of them. They are awesome! And, in case anyone is curious, they come from Macy's. I'll try to post a photo of anyone is curious. But it was so thoughtful and reminds me of our summer Disney trip.
That is such a thoughtful and meaningful gift!
I guess you can delete me from the BOG list. I am no longer going.
But instead, I am going to walk the Camino de Santiago, so that's good!
So sorry to hear about your change in plans, but if you are happy, I'm happy! Have a great trip and I hope to see you back here sometime.
Thanks Natebenma! I'm starting to worry about little things right now. This will be our first trip in 7 years and only my second time. The last time we went my youngest wasn't born and the girls were only 2 & 5, so it's almost like a first trip for them. The girls will be having birthdays when we are there so I really want it to be special. We are going during Easter week so I know the crowds will be crazy and it's costing a ton if money since no discounts are offered so I just want it to go well. Now I'm worried about construction, daybeds, which you've made me feel a little better, and pool refurb! The first time we went we were at the Caribbean and the pool was under construction, so hoping for better luck this time! Maybe even a refurbed room
I am not aware of any plans for a pool rehab at SAB during Easter and I would be very surprised to have one scheduled at that time. The only reason work would be done then is if an emergency repair is necessary.
We had 10 "magical" nights booked at the Poly for August 16-26 and I started thinking we've never stayed at an Epcot resort. Checked into pricing and made the change to a split stay. We're now staying 5 nights at Poly August 16-21 and 5 nights at the Yacht Club August 21-26. This is our 6th trip to WDW and our 1st stay at both the Poly and Yacht Club. Looking forward to Stormalong Bay.

Martin!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1 of this thread. Please let us know if you have any questions about the resort.
Hi everyone,
Merry Christmas. My family of 5 have stayed at the BC several times over the last few years and have always stayed garden view (sometimes concierge) and have always got lucky with a full balcony (I always request it).
However, this year I have got a very good rate through a TA block booking that is only for standard view and my question is whether this is likely to make it less easy to get a full balcony. Basically are there as many full balconies on standard view as garden view. To make things more complicated we are a family of 5 so need the day bed. I really love sitting on the balcony so if it is going to significantly reduce my chance of getting a balcony I may pass on the offer.
Thanks for any advice.
I didn't see you on the Be Our Guest list. Is your trip in August?
I don't think that the chances of a full balcony change based on view category. The rooms with the smaller Juliet balconies are spread throughout the resort, all view categories. If you are able to switch your booking to the Yacht Club, all of the rooms there have full balconies.
Hi Everyone
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I was wondering if all of the first floor garden view rooms in the BC have a full size patio?
Thanks!!!
Pretty sure all of the first floor rooms at the Beach Club have full-sized patios, but if I am wrong, someone please correct me.
Hi.
I've sent some photos of room 5692 (standard view club level) at BC to your email account.
The room was perfect for us --- we don't spend a ton of time staring out the window or sitting on the balcony, but do spend time in the room so the larger room size and full size queen bed was awesome for us. It was close to the lounge (but not too close.)
We had a wonderful time and all the CL staff were awesome.
Thanks so much for the pictures. They are great! When I get a chance I will upload them and post them here and on the view thread.
Does anyone have a progress report on the room refurbishments at the BC?
They are working on the fourth floor now. I'm haven't heard anything beyond what has been reported previously (see first post of this thread), but I'm hoping after the first of the year we will start to get more news.
Now that Christmas is over I can start the real fun.....planning for the next trip to Disney
Dee can you please add my family to the Be Our Guest list? We will be staying at the Beach Club, club level August 20-29. We booked a BB last summer for the free dining.
I don't post much but love following this thread- thanks for all the wonderful information!
back!!!
I am happy to be adding your back to the Be Our Guest list.
