Beach club questions

[yooperfan]

When was the last time BC was renovated? Do they have the new TV sets like WL? What kind of requests should we make on our ressie? Do you have to take a bus to get into Epcot before World Showcase opens? What time do the boats for this area start running? Thank you.

I was just there this past March so I'll try to answer some of your questions:

not sure the last time it was renovated...i heard rumors of about 7 years ago. (it is definitely time for a refurb)

The TV sets are standard tube TV's,i believe 25 inch but I'm not positive. The room request is totally by preference you can only choose two requests, personally I would request full balcony (only some rooms have a full balcony) not facing the front entrance (I didn't like seeing people waiting for ME in the mornings) but if you need the daybed then request that instead of one or the other of these.

You can walk through the International gateway right when the park opens...the CM's will just direct you towards future world. I believe the boats to the park start running 1 hr before the parks open. Have fun!

There is a picture of the tv from allears...http://www.allearsnet.com/acc/bcss.htm

We always walk to FW from the IG & haven't needed to take the bus to the front of Epcot.

The boats are running an hour before park opens but the walk to epcot is so short you dont need to take the boat.

Hope that helps.

Cant tell you about the rooms at all but made this walk MANY times. . .with my friends. There is no issue with walking from beach club to Epcot. . .a VERY easy walk. International Gateway opens the same time the main park entrance opens so you can just get to future world from IG. I enjoyed this walk, oh and walking is DEFINITELY faster than the boats. . .
