I am not willing to place any bets on the completion of the renovation of the YC rooms, especially since the work has not even started.

If I recall correctly, the standard room renovations for the BC went from January 2015 to late August 2015, for floors 1- 4 . The club level rooms had already been refurbished.

I seriously doubt that the renovation will be finished by August, but I am hopeful it will be well on its way.

Yes!! We will be at the Beach Club! Can't wait!

Bathroom in room 4079 at the Yacht Club


Soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion tray

I love the frame for the TV.

Beautiful table top on the pull out table under the desk.

I leave in 6 days, and am beginning to think I won't be seeing any paperwork/Magical Express tags before we leave. We did book fairly last minute, but my magic bands made it. We arrive late enough that we probably won't make the cut off for magical express, but I was kind of hoping for the trip book that usually gets mailed out. Has that been discontinued? Any experience from other late bookers? (We booked 20 days prior to travel.)

No experience for late booking, but can tell you that they still mail vouchers and yellow tags. We got ours about two weeks ago for our upcoming 1/4/17 trip. If you want you can call the Magical Express Service Center at (866) 599-0951 and they'll be able to tell you if your request was processed and the status of the mailing. Good luck and have a great trip!

What does " trip book" mean?
We received an Incredibles booklet this week for our trip in October. It no longer contains the magnet with dates to remember.

It was the grapefruit scent. No sun gel or foot cream. Just body wash, shampoo, conditioner & body lotion. That was in a waterview club level room. We stayed at the Grand Floridian club level for a few nights before Yacht Club & we did get the foot cream there. No solar gel there either tho.

Just got back from Beach Club Concierge level, and I can confirm they don't give the fancy H2O products anymore. I did see a cart in the hallway with a few of them in there, so maybe they give those to people in the fancy suites or something. I can't confirm or deny that I snatched a solar gel though...

The BCV studios have both. Flooring as you enter, in the kitchenette and bathroom area which then transitions to carpeting as you enter the living area.

Is that the same in the one bedrooms? That's what we're in...

I'm not sure. Someone else will be able to verify the flooring, but if I had to guess I would think it would be consistent with the studio.

Just to add, if you do not get the yellow tags in time, if you are registered with ME you can simply proceed to the desk with your claim tickets and they will pull your bags for you. Have a great trip!!

Walking up to the Yacht Club at night during the Christmas season has such a warm, wonderful, welcoming feel

Well down to 86 hours, and i have yet to pack or wrap anything, oh this is going to be fun lol

That is what I meant, just wasn't sure what to call it. It is a fun way to reveal to our kids where we are staying. I will have to print something instead, as it still hasn't arrived, so I think it won't. 5 days to go!

 

[catfan98]

Double digit day!! Finally!! 99 days to go until we are at BCV!

While our flight from California was less than magical (3+HR delay). Now my DD understood why we left a day early. Received a text at 8:17am that Our room at the Beach Club was ready. I booked a GV and we got room 4623! What a view! We were going to do CL but with such a short trip didn't think we'd utilize the lounge so didn't think it would be worth the extra money.

EPCOT was PERFECT this morning. No crazy crowds. Rode all the rides we wanted by 1pm.

Returning to Beach Club 8/19 - 8/26!!

back!

I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.

Dee- on Thursday at 7am at my 10 months out date, I called WDW hoping, but not expecting, to modify my 2 rooms at YC. to a cash res 2 BR villa at either BC or BW. Only deluxe studio was available at BCV (anyone looking for that should call immediately!), but I was able to get a 2BR at BW! So, please remove me from your list (10/15-22)
However, I am just thrilled to be on Crescent Lake for F&W!! And this thread is so great, I will still be popping in from time to time. Thanks to everyone who posted when I was trying to decide between BCV and BWV. I had a feeling it wouldn't really be up to me and that availability would be the determining factor. Thanks again!

I'm glad you were able to get a 2BR, even though your trip will be across the lake.

Yes, please do stick around and read and post if you want!

We just returned last week from an eight night YC stay. There was repellent in the room every day. We've stayed on property at least once a year since 1995, and this was one of the best ever! The YC was great.

to the thread!

Thanks for answering my question.

So happy to hear you had a fantastic trip.

What is the name of the greeter in the lobby of Beach Club? He was about 60ish gentleman. Does anyone have a picture. I totally dropped the ball....he was amazing.

Bumping this!

Anyone know the current greeter(s) at the Beach Club?

I am NOT a plumber (nor do I play one on TV....) but, I noticed in the picture that there is a step-up into the shower. Could this be a work-around for the drain you were mentioning? Keeping the same drain and just routing a pipe between new and original?

I understand this could well be a concept room and only some of the pictured decor could make it through testing to actual room refurb but this room has similar elements to the new room pics at CSR. The wood style tile? plank flooring (which is in use in the entryway at GF), enclosed closets, walk-in style shower, keurig coffee makers, upgraded room/bed lighting. It would make sense as both of the resorts are convention hubs and are considered more "adult" in style and theming. My bigger concern is there was no daybed in that test room.

Not sure if you have posted here, so

I am not that impressed by the concept room photos, though the bathroom looks nice. Have any other resorts tried the carpetless floor? It does not appeal to me as a parent. I seem to spend a fair amount of time sitting on the floor. The whole look is very stark/dark. Curious if all the rooms are supposed to be finished by summer 2017? I am planning a trip, and actually would love another stay in the old rooms!

I seriously doubt all rooms will be finished by summer 2017, so you do have a chance to stay in one of the non-renovated room. I don't see why you couldn't request that. Once the work is underway and we know the way they will be progressing (top-down/wing by

The Beach Club is a great hotel! Stayed there in August 2004; absolutely loved the convenience of being near Epcot and Hollywood Studios (was then called MGM Studios).

A few pictures of the Carousel that I took yesterday:

17 Gold Mickey's and the best I could do was 13.

HI guys! I'm usually on the runDisney boards but I thought I'd pop in on your thread. I lurk here for trip planning sometimes. We have stayed at the Yacht Club before and kids fell in love with the pool. DH fell in love with popping into WS for a yummy snack whenever he wants
We are staying at the Beach Club this time for the marathon, trying out the other side and hoping it's a good location to spectate the race for family and getting to/from the race for me. Can't wait to get a Dole Whip by the pool.
