Just back from BC, we were there the week after spring break and it was an absolute blast! it was an adults only vacation, left the kiddo at home with the grandparents. Stayed club level, in a standard room with a king bed. I'm just going to throw some random thoughts about our stay, so enjoy!
The check in process and our room---
Room was ready at 10:00 when we go there. They whisked us right up to the 5th floor and got us checked into our room super fast. The bellman took us to our room, which was only one of 3 king bed rooms in our room category. They stick the king beds in the weird shaped rooms on the corners which was fine with us! Our room was hugggge and had two balconies. One faced the bus stop and one faced the air conditioners. They were standing room only, but we weren't picky about that. Our room was the absolute furthest room away, at the end of two long hallways. But you don't come to Disney World not expecting to walk, so again we didn't mind about that. Housekeeping was amazing, as was turndown service. They even gave us towel service and made up our bed again when they came at night!
The lounge/food---
As everyone always says about BC, the lounge was very small. The balcony sucked and it was standing room only as well. But those were the only bad things I could say about it! We always could get a table, even when we went every morning at the worst time. There was a small line to get breakfast and the 5:00 apps, but it would only take a few minutes for our turn. If you wait till 5:30, the people clear out. If you wait till 6:00, there was absolutely no one at all.
Breakfast had pastries, croissants, fruit, oatmeal, and hard boiled eggs. Snacks were the Disney chips that are everywhere and a red pepper dip, yogurt covered pretzels, swedish fish, and this trail mix that had coconut in it so I didn't eat that at all . Yuck!
The appetizers that were there every night was veggies and dip, cheese and crackers, pb&j and rolls, and caramel and apples, and two cold appetizers. Once they had a tomato soup type thing but it tasted like salsa and I didn't care for it.The hot stuff changed everyday but while we were there we had potstickers, chicken and a really good cucumber dip, shaved beef, and spring rolls. One night they also had these non alcoholic watermelon shooter drinks that were SO GOOD! I must have had like three of them.
We only had dessert one night but they had those fantastic oreo bonbons that I had quite a few of them!
The CM's---
Were pretty good. Not amazing, but not bad. The morning CM's seemed to just be there and not want to converse with anyone. There was one guy there named Chip who took really good care of us at night. Got whatever we wanted for us that they didn't have out. Talked to everyone, made us comfortable. Made jokes that kept everyone's spirits up during the 5:00 rainstorms that hit every night. There was also another man that I didn't catch his name, but the day we were leaving we were talking about how we should go down to the car and get our phone charger which was already all packed up but neither of us felt like going. He overheard us and came up and offered us several phone chargers to borrow. Very nice!
The resort as a whole---
We pretty much have the same review as everyone else for the rest of the resort. The lobby was always to packed to explore because of everyone waiting for Cape May Cafe. We ate there one night and it was very good. However, this was the first time we have been there without the dining plan and agreed that it was to much money for what we ate especially with us staying club level and getting apps beforehand. Pool was amazing! Walk to epcot was nice and only 5 minutes.
And that's about it! Any questions, go ahead and ask!
