Checking in tomorrow. Are the markets at yacht and beach the only place you can fill the mugs? Will they do it at Hurricane Hannah’s bar too? Thanks!

@Best Aunt here are some pics of the Christmas decorations at the BCV. Sorry I didn’t get more but we were on our way to the parks.
Sorry they are sideways, lol.

I’ve been using the laundry pods this whole trip without any issues. We use Persil detergent, I’ve washed loads in cold and hot and they have all dissolved. I wonder if your machine isn’t working. I know we have used them in the past too in the villas.
Not at WDW but in cold weather we dissolve the pod in a container first.
Since you already tried the warm water tip. Just want to make sure you are putting the pods in the back or bottom of the drum and not overloading the washer with clothes as that leaves less water to break down the pod.
From Tide:
Place the pac(s) at the back or bottom of the machine drum, not in the dispenser drawer. The number of pacs necessary depends on the load size. To guarantee superior performance, add two Tide PODS® pacs into the washing machine drum before you add clothes. Use one laundry pac for smaller loads or three for larger loads.

That's great! I'll copy them and add them to my post. I have a Halloween merchandise picture that I didn't include, so I'll make a holiday merchandise section.I took two pictures on Oct 26, 2020. I'm sorry I didn't post them sooner.

:woohoo
back!
I'll pencil you in on the Be Our Guest list for next November.
I haven't seen anything about when the Yachtsman will reopen or club level will start booking again. Like everything since March, it is definitely a case of wait and see.
to the thread!
Reports from the past couple of weeks have indicated that the pool has not been crowded. Loungers are placed in family groupings, with socially-distant spacing. During Labor Day weekend, there were a few times when access to the pool was restricted for a short time because they were at capacity. I don't think that happened during Columbus Day weekend. Not sure what this week will see for crowding at the parks, resort and Stormalong Bay.
Do you have an upcoming trip here?
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
Happy to!

Our plans have changed, originally was booked to be on a Royal Caribbean cruise Nov 2021, with a stay at wdw before and universal after... we have bumped our cruise to oct 2022 and decided to just do a week at Wdw and 3 days at Universal now. I’ve always wanted to try Yacht Club, so I’m considering splitting it and doing 3 nights at YC and 3 nights at four seasons. Is storm along bay pool open and usable? This is a big reason I’m choosing YC. Also does yachtmans have plans to reopen? This trip is a year away so I’m hopeful! Lastly what is a good room request if I have a water view and I book my boys in a garden view to not have too much excessive walking, to be close to the Lobby and kind of central??? I wonder if club level will open again by next year? As we always stay club level in Wdw but it’s not a option to book currently sadly

Enjoy your relaxation stay! Bet there will be lots of wedding-planning talk!!!
Sounds like a well-deserved break!So excited! I rebooked my YC trip from Easter/spring break to December 5-10. I decided to go solo since I need a break from helping my DD9 with distant learning (letting my DH see how painful it is while I'm gone)! This will be my first time staying in this area - it's going to be so nice to walk to Epcot & HS!

Yes in a couple of weeks. Also hoping for on time check in if not earlier. But I’m not sure how check in times have been.Page 1731-1733

We were at SAB today and it was busier then earlier in the week but not super busy, there were still plenty of chairs.
We were able to get our room before10am which was awesome, we weren’t expecting that.

Wow! That’s a great check in time. I imagine the holiday week would be busier. Thanks for all the info.

It might depend on the day of the week you check in and luck of the draw. When I checked in Saturday, I arrived at 9am and room wasn't ready until 5:04pm.
Storm-a-long Bay is quieter today than it was yesterday (Thanksgiving). Busier than pre-covid January, but it seems like there's plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Once lunchtime hit you no longer needed to wait for a pool float on the lazy river, either. Very pleasant.

i’m not paying close attention. Were you guys checking into YC or BCV?
Pre-COVID, BCV would likely be later, supposedly because the DVC rooms take longer to clean. But I’m not sure about these days.

I am always able to get the BTN when I am at the Boardwalk. I believe it is channel 25. When you scroll through the channels, it says it is something else (like CBS Sports), but it is actually the Big Ten Channel.
