Did they let a lot of light in?We were just there. Had a 4th floor room behind the quiet pool. We had a single hinged door and one window. We had the Roman shades.

Here is a photo of the shade in a room facing the BC Quiet Pool:Did they let a lot of light in?
We got up pretty early on park days, but on the days we slept in, I didn’t think it was too bad. There were gaps and the cords were long. Our room was a garden/woods view. There were many trees just outside of our balcony, so I think that helped block some of the light as well. We weren’t bothered by the light that was let in.Did they let a lot of light in?
Hello YC/BC family! The last time we stayed at the BC (2012) magic bands were a prototype. We are planning an extended family trip for early June 2019. Just a couple questions.
1. How do we gain entrance to Stormalong Bay? Will we scan in? Wear the bands in the pool? Even kids?
2. Will kids' Magic bands open the room door? Can we turn off charging privileges like we used to with the cards?
3. If I book multiple rooms, are the chances of them being close together still slim?
So much has changed since our last visit; I've got a lot of Dis to catch up on!
Anyone have an insight/experience on this? If not at this resort, then maybe the ones that also offer the service via the app?Heard about using the app to unlock guest rooms, very cool. However, is it any different/easier than just using your Magic Band? Seems like more of a hassle to pull my phone out, open the app, and then unlock the door all while my Magic Band is on my wrist and ready to go.
This is going to sound crazy to likely 98% of readers for a few reasons, but here goes...
We just did an 8-day split stay at BC/WL in June that was so so jam-packed with parks and family/friends etc. We ended up switching to YC after two days because the BC had beautiful Venetian blinds that just did not block out the light and my west coast kids were up until close to 11PM and our 4 year old just couldn't sleep with the sun coming in. Switching was no problem and the cast member said we weren't the first ones to do it.
This summer and through OCT, my husband has been working in NYC and we live in CA. So we try to see him every 2 weeks but its hard. The kids and I were planning on heading out to NYC next week, but my oldest truly just wants to "swim and cuddle with daddy" so we thought we would surprise them with a back to disney trip since we definitely did not get enough pool time when we were there!
YC is full so I'm looking at BC and I know someone mentioned after my post-trip review that not all rooms are the Venetian blinds. Can anyone confirm from a recent stay that there are non-suite rooms that still have the blackout shades?

Hello everyone!
My family will be staying at Beach Club from Aug 28-Sept 5, and we're SO excited! I have a few random questions that I was wondering if those who've stayed there could answer.
In the Beach Club Marketplace, would the breakfast bounty platter be enough to split between 2 adults? Opinions on using room service for the benefit of getting breakfast at 6am vs the cheaper option of waiting til 7am for Marketplace?
Would you recommend using physical check-in or online check-in for BC? As in, do you enjoy the cast member interaction/ability to pickup celebrate buttons/make requests vs the flexibility of receiving a text and proceeding straight to the room without waiting in line?
Oh! And lastly, I keep reading different answers to this one-- how deep does SAB get? I've heard the deepest part is almost 5ft and then I hear the lazy river is 8ft! (My daughter and I aren't really swimmers so we would want life vests for the precaution if that's the case.)
I will be at the YC in 5 days for my Birthday trip!
Our trip is coming up soon, but not soon enough! So I’ve started daydreaming about souvenirs. Are there any great and unique B.C. souvenirs that anyone knows of?
Just booked the Beach Club for a pre-cruise stay !!!
I've been a bad girl. Turns out that Club Level rooms ARE available to 4 adults in a room.
I cancelled the standard room and booked Club Level instead!
Anything special I should know about CL at the Beach Club?
Hi! Just booked our first stay at the YC CL for Nov 6-12. I haven't stayed at the YC in YEARS (my 16th birthday was there back in the early 90s). Looking forward to share the resort with my kids. We have a water view room booked- any ideas what a good room request would be? Are the CL rooms near the lounge or spread throughout the resort?
We'll be spending Christmas at BC this year... we wanted to get a small lighted Christmas tree for the room. I think in past years Disney Florist had some offerings but I can't see them at all. Are there other options for this (I know I can order from Amazon but would love to not have to worry about deliveries... I guess I can order something locally and carry in our luggage but would love something local and easy
I would love to know the answer to this too. We're leaving for BCV next week!

I just booked a VERY short stay, just Dh and I at YC in early December! I've always wanted to visit Disney at Christmas time--I've been in early November when the Christmas decorations are just starting, and at the beginning of January when they are starting to come down, but I'e never been in the middle of the season when it's been in full effect.
We will be doing a MVMCP but other than that, no parks. We plan to spend our time visiting different resorts and seeing all the pretty decorations, and going to Jellyrolls one night!
Just booked a trip for Christmas to the Beach Club.
Ready for Mickey....
