I have no first hand experience with renting since I own at BCV but thought the first thread on this DVC forum might be of help to you for calculating costs.
Thank you! I had stumbled on to his site, and have been trying to take it all in...sounds very do-able.
Someone asked about coping in the hot Floridian summers because they were from a colder climate-think the name was Sinope? Sorry I lost the quote and cant find it now but I will add to Dee's list of handy hints for staying cool and in tip top shape and say "drink and then when you think you've drunk enough, drink some more". I mean water by the way though an odd Sunken Treasure or Grey Goose Slushie make somehow land in you hand too from time to time and is to be enjoyed also
I'm from Ireland as I'm sure you can tell from my avatar and while we may have a season called summer here, it can be as long as 2 whole hours on a Wednesday in May (ehem 2016 I'm thinking of you) or it may last 2 whole months
but it never reaches anything like the temperatures and humidity we experience in WDW and we cope just fine by using air-conditioned shops to walk through, restaurants to ease tired toes and cool rosy faces and we welcome our chance to dip in the pools or for younger members running through fountains whenever opportunity knocks. The one thing that caught us out a little last summer was not drinking enough water one afternoon. Now I'm probably a wee bit obsessed about everyone staying hydrated, but even though I thought we were all taking plenty of fluids on board, I underestimated just how much I needed to drink and while no harm was done I did feel a little unwell for around an hour 1 evening while I downed several glasses of water to rehydrate. Then I was grand, but I was surprised at how easy it is to underestimate how much fluid you need when it's hot and humid. I can tell you that every QS location happily handed out iced water and that it was an unusually hot day as all the castmembers and security staff were reminding guests to drink water. I've been many, many times and this was the first time I've ever had a problem and like I say it was quickly, painlessly and easily solved but I think that's partly due to the fact that I'm hyper about the family drinking water (don't want anyone keeling over least of all me
).
I'm sure you'll have a blast on your trip just remember to listen to your body and if in doubt take a wee break in a store, pool or restaurant when the notion takes

to the thread!
HI Wishes Queensafe travels hope you get out before the storm. Enjoy the YC we love it there. We are doing a YC-GF split in May.
to this thread and posting on the DIS!
As a Floridian, I can see the humor in your lack of appreciation of how heat and humidity can take everything out of you. I am very thankful that it just required a few extra glasses of water. I also found quite humerous your obsession of staying hydrated. I am right there with you
I will confess that I have not read the post about staying cool or the other response. I agree with hitting the shops and restraunts for a/c. Misting fans are good. But nothing beats drinking water. Gotta get it in you. But I want to throw out a warning: lots of water mess with electrolites. Make sure to eat bananas, fruit like organges and grapes. Even add some extra salt or gatorade or powerade. We usually water down the gatorade/powerade.
We will be checking into the BC in 4 days! My DH and I along with DD, DSIL and youngest DD will be taking my grandson for his first visit to Disney. He is only 11 months old but it's never too early for their first visit right?
I am nervous about his sleeping, or rather not sleeping, and keeping neighboring guests awake too. Our only request is connecting rooms so we can babysit for them a night or 2 while there. Keeping my fingers crossed we get connecting rooms.
This is our first visit this time of year and am really looking forward to it. My DH and I were there last October and had such pleasant (translation not too hot) weather we walked everywhere and loved it. We only took a bus to AK and one home from MK one night.
We walked thru EPCOT and took the monorail to MK every other time and enjoyed it.
I am also looking forward to the arts festival in EPCOT. Something new to experience!
Grandson is not a fan of the beauty and the beast song, Something There. Every.single.time he hears it he starts crying.
4 days and I will be checking in and escaping this nasty weather.
We've been to WDW many times, but it will be our first time staying at BC. So, help me get excited -- what are your FAVORITE things about staying at BC/YC???
We are staying at the BC April 23 - 29 and can't wait.
Pretty much, I second Natebenma: the pool (specifically the sand bottom, "baby slide" perfect for little ones and pirate slide for more adventurous, the range of pool areas and experiences), the location (walking into World Showcase). For me that is less about Illuminations, and more about easy Kakigori, Schofferhoffer, and frangiapanne access, being able to avoid buses to get to three parks (walk through Epcot and monorail to MK when desired), the resort feel (quiet, sophisticated, relaxed). It just feels right! I never feel I am in a sensory overload, which is the perfect antidote to the intensity of the parks. You will love it!We are staying at the BC April 23 - 29 and can't wait.

Do you have an upcoming trip booked?
We usually recommend that guests make room requests using words describing what it is they prefer in a room rather than specific room numbers. That way the person assigning rooms will have the information about what is most important.
So perhaps the request would be "upper floor, facing EPCOT, please" or "Fireworks view, if possible"
My understanding is that the Beach Club Villas tend to be filled to capacity at most time so there is a limited inventory of rooms available at any given time when someone is checking in.
I don't have you on the Be Our Guest list so I will add you.
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1, Post 15.
