Disney Has Pictures of Beach Club Villa rooms at Disney Vacation Club website!

[littlestar]

Hi.

I went over to the Disney Vacation Club website to see if they had posted anything new and the Beach Club Villas is now listed with the other resorts. They also have pictures of the rooms on the photo tour!

I think they look pretty nice. Can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks Littlestar! It also confirms an estimated opening of August 2002.

I took a look....I must say they do seem a bit small, but I guess location is everything....i will be interested to see what other people think. I definetly like the colors

The 360 feature and the photo album don't seem to be working. What I did see I love! Now, I wasn't planning on buying here but......let's see what the incentive is going to be. The size looks to be the same layout as BWV.

hi: thanks so much for letting us know. i'd like the view they show in their photo album-what a shot of spaceship earth! the colors look great too. i think the bench by the table will be a lot more usable, and i like the table better than the round one at bwv. uh oh- i'd say add-on fever is definitely in the making now!

 

[PamOKW]

Must have been me....got to look at everything. WDWNut....that view of Spaceship Earth is pretty awesome. That looks like an "artist's rendering" but I bet some will have that view. The pool also looks very nice. Did it have a slide?.....guess I'll have to go look again.

I think I'm getting excited!!

Thanks littlestar. I didn't imagine they would update their site so quickly. I like what I see! I was able to view the 360 and the pictures also. There didn't seem to be a slide on the artist rendering of the pool, but you couldn't see the left side. Wouldn't in be nice if you could actually get that view of Epcot that the show in the picture???? I would buy just for that view.

This add on itch is getting bad. I saw a 100 point resale at OKW yesterday. If I was not in the middle of tax time I would have called last night.

The colors will be a nice change from my other homes...... (kind of YC inside, and BC on the outside)......Looks like the decor will show wear more than VWL and HH. I'm sure it will win me over once I see it realtime.

 

[pluto109]

lets keep the economy rolling ...I will do my part a 100 pt add on

 

[TDC Nala]

Is there some way for nonmembers who want to buy BCV to see this?

 

[PamOKW]

TDC Nala -- Sure you can! It's not on the member only section. You'll find it at www.disneyvacationclub.com Just click on Beach Club Villas. Enjoy the view!

Just wanted to say Thank You for updating us! The 360 degree feature & photo albums are working great now...

The colors are VERY nice, I like them a lot.... As for the view of the ball, only the rooms on the very top floor looking towards EPCOT will have that view... don't be too deceived!!!

Great to see more information.

The floorplans are interesting. There has been lots of talk about the balconies being too small, but the balconies have two chairs and a table shown in the floorplan. I was surprised that there is no balcony off of the master bedroom. The living room has a balcony and the second bedroom/studio has a balcony, but the master bedroom does not have one. Also, it looks like there is a desk in the master bedroom which doubles as a table for the bed.
It also looks like the there is not a separate toilet closet with a door, as I think I saw in another model.

Colors are great. The amenities lists access to the exercise facility. I haven't seen any information about a lobby or lounge area specific to the villas, but the artists rendering seems to indicate one. I like the fenced off area of the pool in the artists rendering.

I'll bet it is going to be nice.

I still wonder what the big secret is about the offer they are going to have...... hope its worthwhile....

I definitely see a 100 point add-on coming my way! Thanks for the update!

I don't know how representative the floor plans are of the actual layout, but it looks to me like the sleeper couch in the Beach Club villas is bigger than the sleeper couch in the Boardwalk floor plans, with BC depicted with three cushions and BW only two cushions. Beach club is shown with 2 chairs on the balcony while boardwalk is shown with only one chair.

The floor plans may just be drawn a little differently, and may not reflect actual differences. But, from the floorplan drawing perspective, the problem with no balcony isn't as bad as thought, but there is only one balcony instead of two in a one bedroom.

Looks like myself, wife and our 10 children will be able to fit into the one bedroom just fine......

The description says double sleeper in the studio, queen size in the 1 bedroom living room. Same as BWV.

I noticed no balcony on the diagram off the master bedroom, but the picture has one (with Spaceship Earth in the background).

I like the colors. Comments I got from my BWV pictures was that it was too bright, especially the white in the kitchen.

 

[CaptainMidnight]

Ya, I noticed that in the description as well, but I think BW attendees will attest that the BW couch doesn't seem like a queen sleeper. Im I right about the pictures, does it look like the 3 cushion one is bigger at BC than the 3 cushion one at BW? It would be an extra place to sit. I do think the bench table set up is better and offers more eating room. That will be great for breakfast.

I was looking at the master bedroom picture as well, could that balconey actually be a non-balcony or one of those that is only meant to have a door to open and no actual room to go out on like some of the BC? It's really just a balconey door and a railing a few inches outside of the door? I was trying to figure that out from the exterior pictures as well. Looks like there are some exterior windows that are not full lenght and have no balcony door associated, with a balcony the next window over.

Boy, anybody with more pictures to share (and thanks to those already sharing pictures) would be wonderful, especially with a possible purchase coming up.

Do we have to wait the 11 months to make reservations? It looks beautiful. I have been wanting to add on points at a resort at WDW, we own at HH. It is going to be tough not to add on. So tempting!! But DH wants to hold off. Does anyone know when the point charts will be out? Is it on the DVC site already?

Thanks

Wow, it's beautiful! I have to say, I didn't have particularly high hopes for this property after a 3 day stay at the beach club. I thought the rooms were absolutely the ugliest rooms I have ever been in! Those rooms remind me a lot of the boardwalk, but they are different enough to be worth a try. Great job, DVC! No add ons for us though, but I sure hope that the opening of the new resort alleviates some of the difficulty of getting a room in the Epcot area, and I would not be disappointed if I "had" to stay there rather than at the BW on shortish notice. Now all that's left to find out is how much the thing is going to cost and how many points it will cost to stay there.
