This is NOT off-topic...
Last night my son's middle school had a Jazz & Arts night. This is literally the only event at the middle school that I don't have my hands in, so I was looking forward to enjoying a quiet night at home. But Ben decided he wanted to go, so I ended up being probably the only parent there who didn't have a kid performing.
Anyway, I was rewarded for my attendance when the Jazz band played "Cupid Shuffle", which brought me happy memories of warm trips to Stormalong Bay.
This is
I am off to work in a little bit- I have a preschool group on Fridays that comes to the farm to feed the animals, make crafts and listen to a story. We spent an hour outside last week feeding and doing a tracking lesson but with temps in the teens today, I think we will be doing a speed-feed!
Since we now live only an hour away from WDW (and we are AP holders), it was inevitable that we would stay at our favorite resort (YC) at some point.
We've already done a few day trips since we moved down here in December, but now we're headed over for a couple of nights next month - 4/11 and 4/12. DS19 goes to college in Melbourne, FL (also about an hour from WDW) so he's meeting us there for the weekend. Staying YC CL and hoping to see some of the Club Level CMs we've met during past stays. Maybe this time I'll finally get a chance to get over to the BC and meet Teena. Every other time we've stayed at YC we were never there on any of the days she was working, or we had to leave early to catch a flight home.
Can't wait to get back to the YC!!!!
back!!!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
Had to see the ticker! Just called and dropped the
DDP since it looks like we're doing all TS this trip for our anniversary. Actually will be there ON our anniversary this time, whoo hoooo! Wanted to do CL (have done it at YC before) but it wasn't showing availability. When I called to drop DDP the lady was all like, oh why would you ever want to drop it? I said well, we're doing all TS so we would be losing money by not using the CS and having to still pay OOP for some meals. She was like, well, why not do the DxDP? Uh....no. After doing the math I would have lost money with DDP as the places we have booked have dessert included and we don't do desserts at CS as a rule. Any way, it cost me $50 but I'm still being refunded almost $300. I told her I would like to upgrade the tickets to two day hoppers for two of the three of us, hubby will be semi comatose as he'll be coming off of 12 hours nights in the ER. She told me that there was no way I could do that unless I upgraded his ticket as well. Couldn't happen. I said, well, I'll just do it at the park or resort. Silence, then she says.... oh yeah, you can do that. Funny when we know more than the people that supposedly have all the answers. And she couldn't believe that we were having trouble with the
MDE site losing our FP+ selections. Thinks it must be a problem with my computer. I said no, I just make sure I screen shot everything now. Wow, I didn't know you could do that!
I think you made a great call about the dining plan!
I feel really sorry for the people who call for information and get someone who is clueless on the phone. At least most of us know when we are being given bad info, but there are a lot of callers who receive very poor advice and don't know it!
Oh boy oh boy... I might have booked 2 days at CR cl for the upcoming retirement trip.... Got tired of stressing over weather or not I would get 2 days BLT and just decided I wanted to try CR cl so BOOKED IT :good vibes
So now it's arrival night at Waldorf then CR cl for 2 nights then headed to YC cl for 6 nights followed by AKL cl for 5 nights... .come on November!!
must fix the tickers!
~N
You crack me up. I'm not sure if FIVE tickers will fit into a signature, but let us know if you "improve" your trip any more.
Firstly an apology .... As I've nothing really to add! BUT I just wanted to say how fantastic this thread is and how much we have learned from it! We are a family of 5 from England who are flying from Dublin (please can someone please explain why this is half the cost of flying out of Manchester?), for 10 nights at the Beach Club (5th April +) for a holiday of a lifetime. This will be a one off given the cost but thanks to you all I feel prepared ..... I've my days plans out to the max (given that we've 3 children), one birthday to contend with and an age from of 4-10. The kids (and me) are so excited ..... Thanks all x
What a nice post! No apologies needed at all- that is what we are here for, to provide information and excitement about upcoming trips.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Hi all. Thinking if staying here in October. Does anyone have a link or idea on what the past discounts have been for Fl residents and or Annual Passholders?
to the thread!
I am not sure if there is a link to this info, but MickeyT pointed me to Mousesavers for DL discount info- maybe they have something. There is also a Discount subforum here on the Resort boards, so you could poke around there, or if you posted the question, someone there may be able to point you in the right direction.
Made another payment today, never has paying a bill felt so good!!
I have a question about the Solarium? Is that for all Beach Club guests or is that a part of Beach Club Villas? I did not even see it when I stayed at Yacht Club or when I stayed at Beach Club back in 2000!
If we bought a sandwich in the Marketplace, would we be able to eat in the Solarium, or is food off limits?
thanks!
The Solarium is located in the Beach Club and guests of both the Beach Club and the villas can use it. I think you can eat in the Solarium. There are also tables set up right outside the Marketplace, which is nice, too.
Yes, the Solarium is for Beach Club and Yacht Club guests and you are permitted to bring in food and drinks. That is where the upcoming BC/YC FAQ DIS meet will be held on August 18, and I'm sure some of the people going will be accompanied by adult beverages.
There are also some nice little seating areas at the villas, but they are really intended for BCV guests only.
Hello BC/YC Friends! As I just mentioned to Dee a few minutes ago, I actually have a BC reservation for May and really hope I'll be able to keep it! I always see others posting about work-related conferences at WDW and think, wow - that would be great. And now I have a conference at WDW to attend!!! Although the conference is at CSR, I booked two nights at BC. But I'm having trouble arranging childcare, so I may not be able to keep the reservation. Please send pixie dust!!!
Shall I pencil you in on the BOG for May? Or would you prefer that I wait?
Well my last sleep at BCV is here. Another fast astir day today. Even though it was the coldest by far the kids still spent an hour in SAB. We had a busy day in 3 parks and dinner at the Flying Fish. I wasn't overly impressed but that is because I was hoping for traditional fish and it was very sophisticated! I ordered something without really having a clue what it was! It was really nice to walk along the boardwalk and see everything. Back at BC front desk was great to print boarding passes and explain the luggage pre-board. I hope this works!
Over all my only complaint about this trip was it was too short! I really loved the resort and SAB was a huge hit for my kids. I cannot imagine anywhere else being as good. The staff were amazing.
I will try to do a full trip report soon.

If you're flying Aer Lingus bring a sweater as their plane was the coldest I've ever travelled on last year on the way to MCO -it was fine on the way home though so may have been a one -off
