DH and DD were obsessed with the ducks! We tried not to feed them too much - the room right to our right had bread outside of it so we got to see them a lot! We were all missing our pets at home so we felt like enjoying the ducks' company!
So... here is my BC CL review!
On July 7th we got everything all packed up and bell services picked up quickly - we were out of our room around 7:15am I think. Bell services took our bags away and we walked to TTC to head to Epcot. Monorail started at 7:30am so we were able to get to Epcot for EMH at 8am. DH wanted to check us in early (he felt like if we did it early we would hopefully have the best GV room they had!) He walked over to IG around 10am and DD4 and I did some things around FW - our plan was to meet back up around 11am in World Showcase at Mulan M&G. After about a half hour, DD4 and I started to make our way over to WS and DH texted me to tell me that we had indeed gotten a great room - we were upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite! He said it was room 3501 - immediately I started to wonder why we weren't on the 5th floor - after all of my research on the BC CL I had only looked at rooms on the 5th floor! He then started to send me pictures of the room - and I couldn't wait to arrive!!!!
So, anyway, after Mulan we made our way to BC to go and check out the room before our B&C lunch ADR. We were on the end of the building as close to Epcot as you could get - great secret entrance/exit right outside our door (that we used frequently) but it was a hike to the lounge, pool, lobby and busses. We did have access to the lounge on the 5th floor but it was not nearly as convenient as the Poly lounge was to our room (there weren't many rooms that could be that close!) - Our SUITE (still love saying that!) was newly renovated and fresh and clean! It was nice after our first week to have the extra living space. We had a long balcony that you could see Illuminations fireworks from on one side and the Frozen fireworks from the other side - although we tended to watch those from our bedroom window instead. We had excellent housekeeping in our SUITE (love it!) - the only downside of the room (which is why we were probably upgraded to this room) was that the second floor construction was going on directly below our room. We could hear them mostly on the first two days - never before 9am and never after 4pm. It was not an issue for us at all. Interesting sounds that made us wonder what they were doing - but no issues. One day they tripped a fuse though and our AC went out. After a call to the lounge, it was quickly fixed and our room was cooled off quickly.
We noticed big black curtains up all over the 5th floor which surprised us as I thought work on the 5th floor was done. But it looked like many rooms were still being worked on which could've also supported us being moved - there seemed to be many people with club level access that were not staying on the 5th floor. Also, oddly enough our toilet and the door to the bathroom were poorly aligned - you had to scrap the door against the toilet to close the door! There was a little groove already formed on the door when we checked in.
We did have issues with our MB's while at BC for the first two days. It seemed that we were not alone with that - never a problem at a park - just with getting into our room - CM's were very helpful and apologetic and were able to fix it for us eventually without us losing much time. Once, the CM even walked all the way back to our room to return my MB after borrowing it to fix it. We were so appreciative!
The BC lounge was amazing!!!! The food there was by far superior to the Poly food - everything just seemed to have more effort behind it - more selections - more attention to detail. The CM's in the lounge were so friendly and went out of their way to be helpful and magical! One CM even set up a little flower in a champagne class with a napkin as a table cloth for DD4 at breakfast one day because DD4 insisted on getting all dressed up that morning. She loved it and kept the flower for the rest of the trip! Chef Chris was amazing - he was so friendly and talked with us on multiple occasions -
Overall, we loved both hotels, both CL and both weeks of our vacation! I prefer to end a trip at MK so I think next summer when we do another long trip (hopefully) I'd like to start at BC CL and then move to Poly CL for the second half.
I still need to figure out how to add pictures here - once I figure that out I'll add pictures from both portions of our stay.
