2014 Beach & Yacht Club FAQ, Friends & Fun *DO NOT POST HERE- FIND NEW THREAD*

[LMO429]

I started my own thread about this elsewhere on the boards but I just want to ensure the response I got back is correct. Here is my November scenario I was wondering if someone can double confirm this:

From Nov 5th - 9th. I have a magic your way package with 5 day park hoppers. We are a party of 5 staying at kidani village. 3 of our party will be departing on Nov 9th...

From Nov 9th to Nov 11th. My mother and I move to the beach club with a room only reservation .... my ? is is there anyway to add days onto our ticket from the 1st leg of our trip which is a magic your way package? I hate to have to rebuy tickets for the last 2 days when we have already been there for 5 already? How does this work????

I don't really know the answer to your question, although I am pretty sure once you all use your tickets to enter a park, you will be able to add days on to the tickets at a discounted rate.

Try going to the Theme Park boards and find the Ticket Sticky by Cheshire Figment- he KNOWS tickets inside out and I bet his information covers your situation.

Note to self- add link to ticket sticky on front page if I haven't done that yet!

Don't trust my answer eh? Nothing wrong with getting another opinion.


Pssst.....I've done what you're asking about 3 times myself.

Do any of you who stay at BCR do the DDP? If so what do you think of it overall and at that resort? I thought it might be nice having Epcot so close with all of the great food options there.

Right now we are booked club level. We were going to our purchase some meals OOP and have breakfast and snacks in the lounge. But it will cost about the same to do free dining for us. So trying to decide between DDP or CL. Thanks!

I love the convenience of CL for breakfast and snacks. It works well for my family and we find we don't need all the food that the DDP offers. Have the time we share a couple of entrees and then head back to CL for dessert.

I am currently pool side with a Sunken Treasure in my hand. It's every bit ad good as everyone said!

WOOHOO!!!

Great review Erika!

Ditto! Great job Erika!

It is the second thread (or sticky) on the Theme Park forum- All About WDW Tickets by Cheshire Figment

Just checked- I do already have it linked on the first page (In the Other Useful Info post)

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

The bus to the MK picks up first at the YC then goes to the BC. It is approximately a 15 minute ride. The return from MK will stop at YC first, then BC. Occasionally the MK bus will share with BWI/Swan?Dolphin, but that isn't very often. We haven't had the bus go to anyway except YC and BC in years.

The boat to HS will start running approximately one hour before the park opens. It travels from the BWI to the YC/BC dock, then to the Swan/Dolphin dock, then to HS. The return from HS stops first at Swan/Dolphin, then YC/BC then BWI and then goes to Epcot. If you are standing on the YC/BC dock you can see the HS boat approaching from BWI.

You can try calling reservations to see if they will change your 5 day tickets into 7 day tickets. It would be easier than trying to get them changed at Guest Services.

But they have 3 other people staying on a package before the 2 night room only. Everyone on the package has to have the same number of days. That's why I suggested the OP and their Mom add the 2 days once they enter a park. It is very easy and only take a couple minutes.

That's right. I forgot about that part.

I believe I have updated the Be Our Guest list with all of the new info from the past few days. Please take a moment to review your listing to make sure I have your dates listed correctly- let me know if I need to make any changes.

Post 15: Be Our Guest list

Would love to be added to the 2015 list. YC February 15-21 (after Feb 14 at HRH at UOR). Thanks!

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

About an hour and 15 minutes if you're going to Cocoa Beach from the Disney area. I grew up in Orlando and it took me about 50 minutes but I was on the East side of town.

Is Cocoa Beach where I want to go for the day? The goal is to show my girls the ocean and swim in it and find sea shells.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Also is it easy to rent a car for just 1 day? Or am I better off getting it for the week?

For the record, I totally don't have a problem with off-topic posts because the folks here are very helpful and have lots of general knowledge, but I would like to point you in the direction of where you can get more detailed information about a beach day trip.

If you go to the Orlando Hotels and Attractions forums here on the DIS, and do a search on "Beach", read some of those threads that come up, you will find the information you are looking for.
