Hello. I have made reservations for BC Club Level Aug 5th through 8th. I see there is a dessert/cordial offering in the evening. What kind of cordials do they serve? Have any of you made mixed cocktails with the alcohol provided? If so, what are your recipes?
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1.
These were the cordials offered in the Regatta (Yacht Club) lounge in October. The selections may change by the time of your trip, but should be similar
Desserts and Cordials 8 pm to 10 pm
For my complete post of pictures from my YC CL stay, you can go to the link on Page 1, Post 12 or to Page 715 of this thread.
This is the first thread I have found mentioning this as a (major IMHO) downside of a possible skyway. Your point was my first thought too. I really hope it doesn't happen as I love the relatively low crowds of the Crescent Lake area and IG! I also agree with other posters that it seems a weird thing to build in such a stormy/lightning prone state...
Sorry I failed to add this in to my above post - apologies for not "multiquoting" it. Hit the wrong button!
We have been to YC/BC in May and Sept, May last year and found it really easy to find a quiet spot with plenty of space at multiple times of day! Have a quick scan about and look for hidden nooks. There's also a pavilion type area up some stairs which is great if there is space as you can't get too many people up there and people can't haul additional beds up the stairs - well they could but I haven't seen anyone try!! The quiet pools are always deserted too!
to the thread and posting on the DIS!
Thanks for your input.
Any upcoming stays planned?
I'm officially deciding on my vacation dates for F&W staying at the BC or YC! So excited to be planning again! (I booked a stay but had to cancel last year. Re-try this year!) There is a lot to catch-up on here, I need to do some serious backtracking. Yacht Club hasn't even started/is just starting refurb? Say what?! I thought that would be towards the end of finishing up by now, that's how behind I am! So much to catch up on. Anyway just wanted to say and hi and introduce myself (in case any of you are wondering why someone is liking your old posts from last year- I'm not randomly stalking people here I promise!)
back!
The room refurb is just starting at the YC.
I know!
It was scheduled to start a couple of times and then was postponed. I think they have had a lot of trouble settling on the room design.
We believe that the Club Level, 5th floor rooms have been completed, but we haven't seen confirmation of that or any reports of recent guests staying in the rooms the past week or so.
Let us know when you book your trip!
Hello Y&BC Family. Havent posted much but booked again for our Marathon Weekend Trip! 10th anniversary so what the heck. Made it a Marathon Week.
So Mrs Dee. If you want to add MckeyT and his crazy sisters to the list we'll be 'Home' at the BCV's from Janurary 1st - January 8th!
I'll add you to the list!!!
Venturing over to the deluxe resort area... we are in the pre-planning stages of a spectacular May/June 2018 trip to celebrate my oldest dd graduating from high school, our 18th anniversary, my youngest dd's 1st WDW trip and well the 13 yr old would be celebrating all and there for family, fun & food LOL so a family of 5. We have been twice, stayed at Coronado both times and absolutely loved it, but are wanting to try something different this year and because we are a family of 5, options are limited in lower category resorts and honestly I priced out the trip between deluxe, value suites and a mod and the deluxe for us was not that much more expensive based on the fun & sun package deal going right now. I know those prices will change obviously but I think it's a fairly good indication of how it would be in 2018.
Honestly I would love to stay at Poly but that is out of our price range and dh and I will be doing a land/sea 20th anniversary trip and will likely stay at Poly then. So I have browsed through a good portion of this very long but informative thread and am really leaning towards Beach Club because I love going to the beach and while its not a true beach, I can see relaxing by the lake area in kids playing in the sand, plus the awesome sounding storm a long bay, my whole family would enjoy! I do not have any specific questions off hand to ask, but just wanted to post and keep up with latest updates about renovations, etc.
Oh I do have one question, am I correct in my understanding you can walk to both Epcot, HS as well as the Boardwalk Inn?
Sounds like a fabulous trip to celebrate lots of exciting milestones!
I'll pencil you in on the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1, Post 15.
As you have found, there is a lot to read through here, but we try to keep the first page updated with the latest news so that is a great place to start.
To answer your question, yes, you can walk to all 3 of those places.
It is approximately 5-7 minutes to walk from the BC lobby to International Gateway entrance of EPCOT in the World Showcase (between France and the UK)- you can find more information, including pictures and I think a video of the stroll on Page 1, Post 13
It takes around 25 minutes from the BC to HS walking at a moderate pace.
BWI is just over the bridge from the beach club. About 5-7 minutes I think.
Here's some speculation for you. I'm betting that the Gondola transportation system will be an up-sell charge for everyone except DVC members. The new Caribbean Beach DVC owners will pay for it with their share of their dues.
They are going to have to find a way to A) pay for the project and B) throttle the sheer volume of people who will want to use this new system. Magic bands will make it easy to thin the herds and check for payment. Don't see it yet?? Disney is running up-charge buses in between parks.
Horrifying thought but that's where we are headed. Disney will leave no up-sell opportunity untouched.

I have been embroiled in a LOT of conspiracies theories in the past month, so maybe my perspective is skewed, but it would not surprise me in the least if you are correct!
