Hi all!

Been lurking around this board for awhile - we will be staying at Beach Club August 17-23rd. (kids don't know yet - we don't tell them until the morning of vacation - otherwise they will drive us crazy!).

Anyway, was wondering about 1st floor rooms. We booked Garden View. Will there be an exterior patio?

We have previously stayed at values but last trip we used Sandcastle Club and we loved being able to walk into Epcot. Really looking forward to August :)

Thanks, Helen
 
Hi all, I don't post much but stalk you guys pretty much everyday. I am happy to ask to be put on the Be Our Guest list again. We (me, DH, DD 6, DD 4) had such a great time last October we have decided to do it again (well more like I decided and DH just nodded and went along with it). We will be there October 4th - 11th, BC SV. I was really hoping to get a LV after being magically upgraded last trip but that room type was not available with our discount. O well, I'll still be in Disney at the Beach Club and who can complain about that!
 
Hi! Please add us to the Be Our Guest list again! YC wv club level May 4-8th for my birthday trip. Luckily we booked the bounceback when we were there for my DH's birthday in Jan.--- website hasn't shown any availability even @ rack rate for weeks. Originally we booked until the 10th, but decided to try 2 nights in the Garden Suites @ BWI. This will make 4 trips with our AP this year; Y&B really has become our home away from home! :cloud9:

That is awesome!!!!:-)
 

It's official! Please add us to YC club level September 21-27:banana: no one knows where we are staying yet. I thought we needed to splurge since it's a 10 year anniversary/late kindergarten graduation celebration trip. And F&W festival and MNSSHP too! :dance3: I cannot wait for March 25! I want to make my ADRs!
 
And on the renovations note...our 2 beloved resorts are due for refurbs in the next year or so.

Hi all!! Sorry, I've been lurking for a bit now soaking in all the awesome info for our trip in Sept 2015... Another reason why I haven't posted (till now) was because as you can see, we have a ways until our trip! I saw the reno note above and there was a possibility mentioned of the reno starting in summer... are we speaking of this summer?

It will be our family's first time staying at BC and I'm leery now with reno talk... hahaha! Thanks!

First floor rooms all have patios.

We will be there the same time as you August 17-27, at YC though.
If you can, why don't you join us for our BC/YC Fourth Annual Dis Meet in the Solarium on August 18. You will get to meet the famous Teena!
 
Please add me
Will be staying beach club sept 20 25

This sounds so much like me and my DHs conversations...:rotfl2:

I am laughing so hard I can't stand it. After more than 50 trips to WDW I find myself having traveled with almost every type below. Which now leads me to almost only traveling with my core little family (myself, DH, DD5, DD7) who love everything Disney as I do. :thumbsup2

Join me in as I will be at the BC (probably) with the special deal many of you got :) for the weekend of August 23-25!

Yes but while you will be foot loose and fancy free I will be chained to the family!

Here is the list of the types of people you go to Disney with:

The Commando: Has all the ADR's and FP+ worked out. Knows the exact spot to run to as soon as the park opens. Follow this person and you will have rode ALL the headliners by 11:30am and everyone in the traveling party will still want to kill her/him.

The Deer in the Headlights: This person just thought they were going to an amusement park. They had no idea that the Commando would go all Defcon 1 on them and insist they schedule their potty breaks so as not to interrupt the rhythm of the trip. This person will frequently fake their own death by day 3 to avoid continuing on the trip.

The table service, 3 meals a day, Dining genius: This person purchases the DELUXE Disney dining plan and actually schedules 3 sit down meals every day. By day two they realize that all their Disney parks time is being spent in restaurants and they don't feel well enough ride the rides anyway because they are going to explode!

The unwilling spouse: This person would really rather just sit on a beach somewhere and get drunk. They hate their spouse because they have to actually do things like walk 8 miles a day and swim in a sea of people as opposed to a sea of fish. By day three this person is frequently left unresponsive in the bed, refusing to get up when it is time to make that 7:45 ADR for breakfast that the dining genius planned.

The disconnected teenager: OMG they are so NOT near their FRIENDS! They spend all their time texting to the 856 BFF's they left at home. Being in an amusement park is the worst thing EVER!!!!1!! They frequently order the same exact food at every meal thus disrupting the nutritional balance that their parents seek for them.

Grand PA/MA: They thought it would be a great idea to take the kids to Disney! Some Grands may have even gotten roped into paying for the trip, failing to realize that by doing so they will have depleted their savings and they will never be able to pay for a set of replacement teeth ever again. They go on a couple of rides during the first day but them someone takes them on Space Mountain and scares the BeJesus out of them. They retreat to the safety of the 3 benches that are left in Disney parks, never to get up again.

The 'This is too much work Drama Queen': Often the first to visit the Urgent Care Center, this person gets a doctor's note so that they may stay in the hotel room for the rest of the vacation, there by running up the room service bill because they are so infirm they cannot rise out of bed. They secretly sneak down to the pool when every one else is at the parks. The inevitable tell tale sunburn gives them away.

The "I am off of my schedule cranky toddler": Everyone thought it was cute that "Little baby cries a lot" was up late last night for the fireworks. Baby didn't take a nap either. Now Satan is living in the body of this child and he/she is screaming so loudly and continuously that the authorities have been called to investigate.

The "Wait for me because I am on vacation and I can't keep the schedule person": This person received copies of the schedule in triplicate from the trip commando but they still can't grasp the concept that no one wants to wait the 2 additional hours it will take them to FINALLY get up and start getting dressed. This is often the first person to be abandoned by the family (followed closely by Baby cries A LOT). They eventually make their way into the park by 11:30 and stand in line for two hours just to get into the ladies room. They then complain about how long the lines are at Disney and how it's too much trouble to go on any rides.

The "Wait for me while I go in this store person": This person is the Mortal Enemy of the Commando because they will never give up on actually coming to the parks but they will insist on stopping in EVERY store and closely examining every. single. item, thereby throwing off the touring plan. The fact that they are looking at the exact same crappy Disney merchandise in every store never seems to penetrate the vast emptiness of their cranial cavities.

The person who insists on coming with but refuses to go on any rides: Much like an anchor, you drag this person around the park while they hem and haw about not wanting to go on this or do that. Even the thought of sitting on a boat while singing dolls have rotational seizures is too much to handle, so they stalk the exterior of the ride while you go in and then give you the mighty guilty look for abandoning them when you finally return.

The "I just want to get a picture of this person": You walk 3 steps and they have to stop to take a picture. Even worse, they want YOU IN that picture. Due to their lack of technical expertise these blurry pictures live forever in their cell phones, never seeing the light of day because this person has no idea how to work the camera.

The character chaser: This person's main goal in life is to stand in every 12 hour character line they can find just so they can get an autograph from Donald's Uncle's cousin. This person frequently ropes the Grand Ma/Pa into standing in line for them but after the second or third 3 hour line Grand Pa/Ma wises up and pleads lumbago to get out of doing this.

The "I have to get another coffee/I have to go to the bathroom again person": This person will easily hit every 3rd bathroom in the parks, all the while complaining about how bad the coffee is. When they get to the point in the ride line where they have to ditch their cup, they chug the contents and then barely make it through the ride, telling you continuously about just how badly they HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW!!!.

The person who knows it better than you: This is the person who will insist that there is a monorail that runs to Universal from the Animal Kingdom and that Walt Disney's head is in an ice cream freezer under Cinderella's Castle. Family members wishing to spare themselves from the "Ken Jennings" of Walt Disney World encourage this font of knowledge to let a Cast Member know that interesting little tid bit he just spouted because they are undoubtedly in need of that "information".

The parents who Ignore/let everyone else watch their kids because THEY are on vacation: These are the people who think that just because it's the family vacation, everyone else will watch THEIR kids while they go enjoy themselves. When these absentee parents are on the prowl, hotel room doors are dead bolted and phones are disconnected so that their pleas of "Can you watch the kids" go unheard. Unfortunately, the Grand Ma/Pa are often the slowest and can not get away quickly enough and therefore are most likely caught up in this child care scam.

So that's the list of the family members you go on vacation to WDW with. There are undoubtedly more so feel free to add the ones you find yourself vacationing with.

After deliberating a stay between the Poly and BC I decided to go with BC! The construction at Poly mostly swayed my decision but we're also doing a split stay at CR and I thought it would be more fun to stay at different parts of the world instead of just being on the monorail circuit the entire time. We'll be doing water view CL at BC May 26-30 and park view CL at CR May 30-June 03:goodvibes

Experienced BC visitors: Approximately how long would it take to get from the resort to BOG, and, which mode of transportation is the quickest? WDW bus from the resort, or, walk through Epcot to the Monorail? I'm assuming the bus, but does it go directly to MK? It's should be only about a 5-10 minute walk from the MK entrance to BOG, depending on pace and crowd.

It's should be only about a 5-10 minute walk from the MK entrance to BOG, depending on pace and crowd.

I would estimate a good 20 minute walk once you get inside MK since it is in the back. The bus is direct but you could wait for it. From the time you get off the bus, get through security and ticket booth, figure about 10 minutes. I would leave at least 90 minutes early to be safe.

If you take the monorail after going through Epcot, you need to get on the other monorail or take the boat over. Figure at least 15 minutes for either one of those.

If timing is an issue get a cab to Contemporary or BLT and then walk over.
 
That is awesome!!!!:-)

::yes:: But after this, we're gonna have to cut back to once a year. My family room & main bath need serious updating. :(

I am so happy to say that we are going to the Beach Club (again!!):):)

We are booked March 20-23. Dh, me, and the 2 college ds on spring break. My son broke his foot and its not healing but hopefully he will be in better shape in a few weeks. If not we will improvise with crutches and wheelchair and his walking boot etc.

We have to stay at the Swan the 18th and 19th because there are no rooms at the BC.

So can you please add us to the Be Our Guest list, thanks.
