Beach Club Villas vs Boardwalk Villas

[PatMcDuck]

I prefer BCV over BWV. At least BC has a QS option, and you can walk over to the YC QS as well without going outside. I have stayed at BWV in a cold January, and in summer with the frequent rain, and with both types of weather I just wanted to get some food, or even groceries for room without getting wet or freezing.

I have stayed at BW many times, and don't hate it or anything, but when you have to walk a mile to get a drink refill (pool closes when it's cold in winter, so only only place to refill soft drinks? The Bakery). PS I would not buy the refillable mugs there after that, problem solved.

And you are correct, really great interesting BCV views are not a thing.

We own at BC and only have enough points for studio villas. If our room is not ready upon arrival we ask for a pool view. However, BC is usually the place that texts us the room before we hit the property. We have had some strange views at the BC - anything from fireworks over the back of the buildings to a stand alone Charlie Brown type pine tree. I still enjoy the BC over the BW because of the walk into EPCOT is the shortest and I can walk under the bridge instead of climbing the incline. LOL

YC doesn’t have a QS does it? It’s been a couple of years since I stayed there, but there’s the Ale & Compass bar that has coffee in the a.m. & the sit down restaurant, but you have to walk over to BC’s marketplace for QS & you do have to go outside under a covered walkway for a short bit to get from YC’s lobby to the BC, is there an inside route I failed to discover?

YC has a QS now! I think it's fairly new, just in the last couple of years. If you walk into the front door, take a left down the corridor, and you'll find the Marketplace at Ale and Compass on your left. It's somewhat similar to Beach Club Marketplace in that it has a food area, and a souvenir area. However, I think it has a few more and better options than BC Marketplace. Also, they have a freestyle machine. When I stay at BCV, I often take my ECV over and get my QS there.

YC has had a QS of its own since sometime in the summer of 2017: The Market at Ale & Compass https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/yacht-club-resort/ale-and-compass-market/menus/

Looks like it has everything the BC marketplace had pretty much & obviously I didn’t explore enough to spot the changes when I stopped by the YC in Dec.
