Thank you.
We have just booked up. We are staying at the contemporary in a theme park room over Christmas then moving to the beach club. We went for a garden/ woods view instead of standard. Any advice on what requests to put in? Should I just ask for a room facing the lake side of the resort? I’m not sure a full balcony will Be that big a deal for us over New Year.
It feels like forever (2014) since we stayed at yacht club, we loved it and hoping we like the beach club just as much.
Just to say as well you do such a great job on this thread. It’s one of the most helpful ones I’ve come across.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
The 3 main garden/woods view areas are:
Back entrance (lakeside) courtyard (close to lobby/elevators, great people watching)
Volleyball courtyard (wing between lobby/secret entrance) (close to quiet pool, convenient to EPCOT/lobby, possible sideways water view)
Woods View-Near Secret Entrance (most likely view of greenery, VERY close to EPCOT)
The request for a lakeside view is a good one, especially if you prefer a courtyard rather than foliage for a view.
Does Stormalong Bay really live up to the hype as an adult? I am staying there for the first time since I was 10 (I am now 34!) with my husband for our first anniversary. We want this trip to be slightly more relaxing than others so I have some open time planned for a few of our days so we can hang by the pool. Has anyone gone as adults only and enjoyed the pool?
Also - does anyone have experience with the blow outs at the spa? My anniversary is 9/23 so was thinking ti might be nice to get a blow out that day. We have dinner planned at California Grill, and I am actually trying DESPERATELY to find a brunch opening (with no luck yet!), so I thought it might be a nice day to avoid my humidity frizzed hair!
I'll add your September trip to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1, Post 15.
I have a few reviews of the salon/spa on Page 1, Post 5, but I don't know if I specifically have one for blow outs. I think the general consensus is that the services at the salon are very good, but pricey.
If you go, please provide us with your feedback.
I'm going to look on Touring Plans, but does anyone have recommendations on a water view room request at YC? I would like a balcony and to be looking at the Lagoon, not the pool, if possible.
There are just a handful of rooms at the YC which do not have full balconies, so you should be all set there. If you don't have any other priority requests (location, daybed, king bed) then perhaps "Lagoon view, please" would be the simplest way to get what you are looking for.
In the Resorts Community subforum, there is a YC Room View thread that gives a sample of room views provided by past guests.
I was just able to add Dec. 4th to my BCV studio. Now staying Dec. 4-8. The DVC member I rented points from was kind enough to wait list the 4th and 5th for me and they both came through!
I am a happy, happy girl right now.
That's great! I'll adjust your listing.
