Well after several months I am back and I have 1 confirmed trip and 1 pending trip

Mid Sept - Oct Food and Wine Fest ( Hoping BC , could change depending on CM Discounts )

Dec 23rd-27th ( This trip is confirmed, at BC CL )

 

[Miked0292]

I have looked everywhere. Can someone describe to me where the club lounge is on the 5th floor... ie somewhere near the lobby or closer to Epcot side?

As a poster said above post now , soon as you get off the elevator, but I do warn the CM do just about know every person on that floor so no sneaking up, as the FT CM , know our family and always remember us , so no sneaking up there for me if we stay non CL

Wonderful report and I loved your pictures, thank you for sharing. We will be checking into BC in 17 days and I cannot wait. BC is our favorite deluxe resort and it has been a while since we last stayed there. It is going to be so great to be "Home" again .

No sneaking I promise.... Planning a 2015 club level trip and wanted to get an idea of what we would want to request for room location!

Welcome Alli! Each family have different preferences but we like near the lounge. We love the lounge CM's as they have always made us feel special.

We are really looking forward to the lounge upgrade expansion to provide more room inside the lounge.

Thank you for sharing your stay at the BC with us. Brings us all a little closer to home.

Erika, that was an awesome blog post about BC! I felt like I was at the hotel while reading it! You definitely captured the spirit of the Beach Club! Beautiful pictures, too.

My camera is a Nikon Coolpix S9500. I've had it about a year and I love it! It's a point and shoot, which is perfect for me, and it's compact and easy to bring along to the parks.

I've only been booked a week but I've done a switch already and with well over a year before our trip I dread to think how many changes I could make. We had originally booked BC but I have been researching both a little more and the full balcony means a lot to us (with a little man who will be 5 it's nice to have somewhere to sit out of the way without disturbing him). I had also booked a standard view but we've switched to a garden view as it was a tiny price increase over a 2 week period and who wants to look at a roof for 2 weeks?

I am so excited to be so close to Epcot

That is fantastic!!!

As others have said, you really captured the essence and charm of the Beach Club!!!

Great picture of you and Teena! I also love the one in Cape May- wonderful picture of your family, but the expression of the woman in the background slays me!

I believe that you have given me permission to use pictures/info from your reports for this thread, so I will add the link to this blog in the trip report post on Page 2.

Thanks again!!!

We got back Monday from 6 nights at the yacht club. We had a wonderful time. The rooms are in need of a rehab for sure but I know they are coming. We had room 2027 and it was a serious hike from the lobby. The view was a partial water view as well.


I booked the bounceback rate and will be staying at Kidani Village from Nov 5 - Nov 9. There are 5 of us and while the yacht club was available and could put us all in one room i knew it would be too tight so I went with a 1 bedroom villa at kidani for the 5 of us instead. Never stayed there before

But I did book the beach club from nov 9th to nov 11th for a 2 night stay. the rest of our party is leaving on sunday nov 9th but the flight are insanely priced to fly home that day so i rather just stick around disney for the extra 2 nights and fly out on a tuesday when flights are less. Why are the flight prices so crazy the same flight is double what i paid this past trip?!!!

got to see teena 2x sunday!!! always a pleasure!!!!! I miss her already!!

page 225-228

It's been open until 11:00 pm all this past week.

Thanks, again!

Do you know if the pool has been opening at 9 am or 10 am?

Wasn't someone looking for spa information? Touringplans posted this review of the Beach Club spa this morning.

http://blog.touringplans.com/2014/05/06/yacht-beach-clubs-ship-shape-salon-pedicure-review/

Question for anyone- prior to the renovation of the health club the Hair Salon was called "Periwig's" Anyone know if it is still going by this name, or if it is just part of the "Ship Shape Spa"

My room and my first stay at Beach Club, Club Level is booked for 2015.
Does anyone know if the lounge will move after the remodel?

As far as we know, lounge is just expanding in size, not moving.

BEYOND excited to be staying at BCV this October!!! This looks like an amazing resort!

Oct 2-6th

And then we're off to the Disney Wonder for a 4 day cruise!

I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on page 1 (Post 15).

Sounds like a fantastic trip!

PS- if the pool closes at 11 I'm assuming lifeguards are not there that long? Anyone know what time they work until? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the lifeguards are there whenever Stormalong Bay is open.

No guards at any of the quiet pools, though.

Yes - I will try not to mess with the booking too much. It must be a real pain for you to keep this thread up to date

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Yesterday I booked my September 2015 BC Club Level trip. It is over a year and a half away. How will I ever pass the time. LOL

OMG. I am just so excited!!!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

I think we are going to take a day and drive to the ocean. How far is it? Does anyone know?

 

[Dani's First Time]

Good morning all,

I have Yacht Club booked for November 16-21st (first stay!) and I am so excited. However, I am more excited that the friends traveling with us just moved from POFQ to the Beach Club under the free dining promotion. We are over the moon excited.

A few quick questions since I have never stayed here:

- What order does the MK bus pick up and drop off?

- What time does the boat to Hollywood Studios start running in the morning and how late? The park is open until 7 on the night we see the 6:30 F! show. We are staying after that to see the Christmas Lights so won't get out of there until closer to 8.

- What order does the boat pick up and drop off?

Add us to the Be Our Guest list - party of 8 if you count both families. It can't come fast enough. We have to tackle dining reservations soon.

Thanks,
Dani
