Do the Beach Club bathtubs have a pull-out clothes line where you can dry swimsuits? We made a lot of use out of those on our trips to Pop. Wondering whether to bring clothespins. Thanks!

Yes, the BC has the clothesline. I bring clothespins, too.Do the Beach Club bathtubs have a pull-out clothes line where you can dry swimsuits? We made a lot of use out of those on our trips to Pop. Wondering whether to bring clothespins. Thanks!
You guys weren't kidding about BC. Two days in and I think we've all been spoiled. Yesterday was our Epcot day and Dh loved being able to walk there and being able to come back for an afternoon break was awesome!
For those of you who have been to storm along bay recently - are there usually life vests available for kids? Do they run out? My son's 3, so we'd need one for 30ish pounds. I'm debating if I should pack his floaty or rely on the ones provided. Thanks!
We checked into the BC yesterday
We booked a standard view and were given a standard view room facing the front entrance. Room 3654. We love this room! It is one of the "different" layout rooms so I wanted to share some photos. It is not allowing me to attach the "view" photo as it is saying the file is too large. It has a Juliet balcony and a view of roof/main entrance.
So far we have had a great first day! We had some Sunkin Treasures at Hurricane Hannah's, a delicious dinner at Cape May, a nice night at DS, and watched the SW fireworks from the beach. Ready for day 2
Hi all. We are sitting at MCO waiting to board our flight back to the UK so I thought I'd post a quick review. In short we had an amazing time and loved the BC. The location was brilliant (we were in 2520 so very close to the secret door and quiet pool), loved the decor and found everything spotless. Staff were helpful, only incident was when the housekeeper managed to gather up my youngest's 3 plushes with the bedding - we were compensated and we managed to buy a new dolphin (Seaworld) and Pygmy Puff for him, just need to order the final one when we get home as it was brought with us. He was very upset at the time but the housekeeper sent him some cookies and milk for bedtime which seemed to go down well (he wouldn't share!!). We would definitely return to the Beach Club though the boys also like the look of AKL. Will post more when home and got my head straight!
have great time. we will be there in 28 days.. see ya soon
staying only 3 days at BC then on to wLV for 3 days. i am rethinking my ADRS because I wanted some more pool time at resort. How are the activities in the afternoon? is it worth it to skip An ADR at Yak and Yeti and just zip back to hotel for some pool time??
for all who have gone with kids what are your experiences?
I don't hang out on the boards much, but every time i stay at Yacht Club or Beach Club i have to come check in! We will be there the end of October into November and i can't wait!
I would skip Yak and Yeti and spend time at that gorgeous pool. I got food poisoning from Yak and Yeti in June so I'm a little biased. I don't think you will regret spending time at Stormalong Bay. So relaxing and fun.
This is Yacht Club. I thought they were all real over at Beach! We made a point of looking as well!!!
Already loving BC! This place is amazing. We booked standard view, but we were upgraded to garden view. I am in room 1633, SUPER close to the lobby, Marketplace and my room faces the main courtyard. My parents are in the room next to me and my sisters family is right across from me in 1632. We couldn't have asked for better locations and being on the ground floor is so great with a toddler. Of all of our stays at Disney resorts over the years, this has got to be the best location we've received, as far as proximity to everything. Spoiled already! Lol I just watched the Star Wars fireworks right from SAB. I can clearly see why so many people absolutely love this place!
Well, we made it! I can't believe how beautiful it is--so nice, I don't really want to leave the resort for the parks. Ha!
Anyway, we booked a standard view, but were upgraded to a Club Level Standard View!!! So spoiled!
We're checking into Shades of Green in a few days, but I think our next trip will be 100% Beach Club !
We just got back from our BC trip this morning.
The walk to Epcot was awesome, so much so that this was the first trip that I wish that we had purchased a Park Hopper. If you haven't done it yet, just be warned that the walk to Hollywood Studios is a bit longer
One thing that I noticed for the resort is that I wish they had "Elevator" signs. We were a decent distance from the elevator (requested room 3681, got room 3677, roof view from window, really good pool view on balcony) and it was easy to get turned around. "Exit" signs aren't enough as many of them led to stairways (we had a stairway not 50 feet from our room that took us almost directly to the pool, very nice ). Not really an issue, just something we noticed that really stuck out early in our stay.
I want to say thanks to everyone to that mentioned the Sunken Treasure... it REALLY helped with the weather
I just want to say what a great group this is! I've always felt welcome, and I haven't even stayed at the BC yet! (234 days!) I joined a thread for our other resort for our Spring Break trip, and no one had acknowledged me at all. :sigh

Just a bit of a warning, though... If you read a couple of pages back, you will see that it is not easy to get away from us.
Like the song goes "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"
Right, @JanetMom ?
What great pics and I'm in love with that tub.Back from our 4 nights Beach Club Villa stay, I started a trip report, link at bottom of my signature if anyone is interested.
The villas are not quite done yet, there were several rooms on the 2nd floor at least that were still being worked on. Our 1 bedroom was gorgeous! We were in room 247 on that wing that sticks out. Straight out our double balcony we had a view of the Star Wars fireworks, but through a lot of trees, so not really a great view. To the left was Epcot and we could not see Illuminations, but it was very loud and we could see the sky lighting up colors.

Thanks for the info on the construction not being finished yet. We arrive in just over three weeks and I can't wait.
We have a refurb also at Animal Kingdom Kidani before we get to BCV. So I am hoping the BCV is 100% by the time we get there.
What great pics and I'm in love with that tub.
We didn't really hear any noise, just saw a few rooms with doors left slightly ajar using the lock do hickey, carts with tools in the hallway and some construction people coming and going. I think it was mainly finishing touches going on. The rooms that are not done had a piece of tape over the lock and plastic in front of the doorway. One day there was a stackable washer-dryer sitting outside one of them. Everything smelled fresh and new. Fresh paint and wood smell, etc...
Headed to Beaches and Cream tonight for dinner, any suggestions on what to get?
