Can anyone tell me a general time for the Campfire and Movies? We'll be there in September....guessing that the timing in summer and fall are different.

Thanks!

The movies at BC/YC are a piolot program and may be phased out at the end of Febuary 2008.


I posted this on the All Star Music FAQ thread in October of 2007:

Here is a little info about the new pilot program at All Star Music and BC&YC:

I called All Star Music in August and asked about the pilot program and I was informed it will only last through September but if All Star Music and YC&BC (which also has a similar program ) get enough positive feedback they may expand this program to all of the resorts! Yeah.
So if anyone is going to All Star Music Or BC & YC (which has a similar prorgram please fill out the pilot survey. Ask at the front desk .Please be honest but please fill them out.

The manager I talked to sent me a list of the activities they have planned for September.
For a full list of the activities please see post # 1 of this tread:

The pilot program is not just about the games and movies but it is really about better guest service.

Having more staff available at check in so guests can check in a more timely manner.
Having clean rooms ready at check in so guests do not have to wait until the late afternoon for a clean room.
Having more staff on hand so a guest can have any questions or concerns taken care of right away.


I was told they are getting the results from those surveys the next morning and actions are immediately being taken to correct problems or congratulate success.

I was told that this program is ending the end of September but if they get lots of good feedback they may extend this type of service to the other resorts as well.

I am really hoping they get lots positive response to this program.
I was told that so far there has been quite a bit of positive response from guests at All Star Music but the BC & YC has not been getting many responses.

My guess is not very many guests know this is a pilot program so they do not respond.

I was told that there is hope that with enough interest that they may be able to keep a lot of the great things happening at AS Music and YC & BC and be able to expand to other properties. I was also told that this pilot is all about trying to improve intent to return.

The manager I spoke with told me that the best thing that guests can do is when they check out of the resort, they should take the survey and give feedback (honest feedback about anything good or bad they experienced).

If you think you would like this pilot program to continue....
If you think you would like this pilot program to other resorts....

If you would like contact Disney about and the pilot program the addresses are:

Walt Disney World Guest Communications
PO Box 10040

Let's let Disney know we like this new program and we want it to continue and expand to the other resorts as well!

Thanks ........And......
Have fun at Disney.

* NOTE

The management did decide to extend the pilot program at BC & YC and All Star Music until the end of Febuary 2008 but they did cut back the amount of activities that were offered at these resorts.

I am hoping that this program is extened and expanded to other resorts . I have read many good reports on the DIS boards from guests staying at BC & YC and All Star Music. Guests have reported the lines at check in are quite short, rooms are often ready at check in , they like the phone calls from the management welcoming them and saying if there are any problems to let them know along with the afternoon activities and the Movies at night by the pool/beach.

Last September, the campfire was at 8:30, with the movie at 9:00. Be aware that occassionally, there's a private function on the beach. If so, the movie will be held at SAB.
In mid-September, not many people were there.

I'm surprised more people didnt go to the movies! I would think it would be so fun to watch a movie outside on the beach after a looong day at the parks! I hope the next time I go we stay at the beach club and that they still offer this!

I really will be sad if they discontinue this . My boys are already thinking of the different movies they may show when we go next april.

Can anyone attend the movies or do you have to be staying at the beach club?

Unless things have changed, I think anyone can go. However, only the guests at the Beach Club get the sheet of which movies are shown when. I really wanted to see "Finding Nemo", but I was at the BWV the night it was shown, only because my waitlist at BCV never came thru (they checked right up until the morning I had to transfer over). No one questioned me or anyone else who was there.
