I think they only allow 20 posts per page. So 20,000 might be on 1001. Still cool tho.

Edit, hmm, maybe not. I'm horrible at math! Lol!

I say we post away! So close!!!

10 days until YC!

16 days till we check in to YC. Cannot wait, never stayed there before. Have been to BC so I'm curious to see the similarities/differences.

 

[GeorgiaHoo]

71 days till we check in. FP reservations next week.

Also our first time at YC, but we've stayed at BC 3 times and it's our favorite resort. DH has always wanted to try the YC side though so here we are for a quick weekend trip!

36 Days till FP's, 96 till check in!

 

[SaintsManiac]

84 days until our first stay at BC!!!

 

[vettegirl]

17 days until check in at the YC CL, staying 2 nights at Boulder Ridge Villas before our YC stay as there was nothing available at the YC. I am excited to give it a try, never stayed at WL before.

And another congrats to all the Y&B clubers on hitting 20000+ posts! Sorry more of our regulars weren't around.

We are not staying CL on this trip so we wouldn't expect it.

Since you're staying Deluxe you can request it. We're all just curious.

I am so loyal to the BCV that I have never even contemplated staying elsewhere. I stayed at the Boardwalk Villas once, and it never felt like "home." BCV does. I'm guessing there's a lot of us like that, yeah?

We just arrived this morning at the YC. We got up at around 2:30am for a 5:44 am flight. Ouch. We got here and everyone was exhausted, so we hung out at the pool and waited for our room to be ready. We got one at 12:35pm. I went up to tell them my phone was going dead so I wouldn't get the text that the room was ready and she checked and said they were going to put us on the 3rd floor but a room just opened on the 4th floor and gave it to us. Room 4182, which has 2 queens and a day bed and the room is very nice and a/c is freezing. We all napped and are getting up now to go to the Captain's Grille for dinner then are going to go for a walk on the boardwalk. The room doesn't have a great view (parking lot, think close to bus stop) but has this huge terrace that 4 rooms share. I have never seen a terrace that is shared, it's kinda neat and is really big. The upcoming 4-5 days seem really rainy, so not super happy about that but we will deal. The globe in the lobby is beautiful and super shiny and looks brand new. I will update as time goes by.

@kandb we've had a room with that balcony twice and love it! Feels like our room is huge being able to go out there. Enjoy!

 

[kandb]

PS-I just ordered some groceries and powerade and milk from amazon now. Does anyone know how much they will charge me to pick it up at the YC? Hope it's just a one time charge for the whole order? Should of checked before I ordered.

I agree, since it looks like it's going to be rainy for a few days, I am so glad to have a balcony like this. I love sitting watching the torrential rains in Florida. I find it very relaxing.

Well, I agree that BCV feels like home and BWV doesn't. But I keep planning trips on short notice and BCV is always sold out, which is to be expected.

I went up to tell them my phone was going dead

You don't travel with an external battery? I have a Mophie. Not the case, just the external battery. I keep it in my park/travel tote bag along with my phone's charging cable. When my battery starts to get low, I use the external battery to charge it. You can get Fuel Rods in the park:

(Not sure why I found a Military Disney Tips page when I googled. These are for everyone, not just military. I even saw them at my airport.)

My understanding is that Amazon Prime Now is delivered to Bell Services, the same way that Garden Grocer is delivered to Bell Services. No charge. Amazon Pantry, on the other hand, would be delivered to the YC/BC Convention Center if it comes by FedEx or UPS, and the Convention Center would charge.
