The French toast looks like it’s soggy with all those apples in there. Is it very sweet?

Noticed something new in the bus arrival time info in the app this morning (at least new since September). They've combined yc and bc bus arrival times, and when it opens it shows bc bus arrival, so if you're staying at the yc you need to select that at the top of the screen to change to yc. Almost missed the bus this morning because I didn't notice this at first!

This is good to know. We usually eat breakfast at the BC marketplace even when we are staying at the YC, which means we only saw the YC bus times. It will be good to know what time the bus will be arriving at the BC.

Where on the app do you find this? Thanks! I googled it and see I have to log onto my resort reservation first. Thanks for this new tome information!

Interesting. We just came to MK from YC a little while ago, got a bus around 10:30ish. When the bus arrived, a few folks got off. A family of about 4 adults & a couple of kids in a stroller wasn’t getting off. The driver had to tell them he was not going to BC: yes, it is Y & B resort but the 2 routes are separate until 11 AM. So he could not take them to BC because he was not going there. They weren’t happy they had to get off & walk over. We came right to MK after leaving YC.

My sources tell me its not soggy and in their opinion not overly sweet.

We currently have the BC for Oct 22-26

correction to your list - Our April trip is April 16 - 20 at the YC. I would love to be there until April 29, but that just isn't going to happen.

Opps, my mistake! Sorry Wood Nymph and Natebenma.

We will add your October trip to the list.

BTW: Thank you for all your advice. You have helped me.

I've been doing some more research today and watched some videos and I'm starting to get pretty excited about it now. I think I'm most excited for Volcano Bay. I'm a little bit worried about going from the YC to Cabana Bay, but I'm sure it will be fine.

Volcano Bay is pretty - especially the entrance. DD and I got there early and found nice loungers on the "beach." We stayed at Aventura last time and had a fun room. The shape of the building is unique and the two beds were apart with one being in a little nook. We could see Cabana Bay from our window. I don't remember what the name of the classification of the two hotels is and it is a different experience than YC for sure. But it is a lot of fun and I would stay at Aventura again or possibly try Cabana Bay. If you are able to cross the street, you might want to check out the roof top bar at Aventura even if it is just for a soda. They might have had apps. - but not sure. Again, if you are able to walk across the street, you can take the water taxi (I think that is the name) from the Sapphire Falls hotel to the parks/City Walk for a little fun. I am sure the shuttle bus would be faster, but the boat is fun. We have also stayed at Hard Rock. It was also fun. With the exception of walking to the parks, I didn't really miss it during our Aventura stay. All the hotels seem to have a little something fun and different to offer. Happy planning!!!

Just checked out of 4 nights YC CL. Had a great garden view CL room 5198. Overlooked the back door, shower only & no connecting room. Looking left & straight ahead.



There was some landscaping maintenance going on in that area but nothing intrusive. Also the red brick was painted over 2 days. The skyliner was down all week for routine annual maintenance. We have come to enjoy the skyliner & I missed riding it. But, I think there was less traffic at IG because it that. It was nice & quiet like it used to be, lol. The weather was coolish in the evenings & a few days. The pool was open but not crowded at all. The parks seemed crowded to us. We only do a few hours everyday now, getting too old to fight the crowds all day long. The highlight was getting to ride the WDW Railroad again!! 😊. Oh & there were plenty of CMs everywhere. Lots of earning my ears name tags too.

Just got home from 5 days at the YC! I was in room 4168, and I have to say, if you are a light sleeper this is not the room for you. It is below the prep room for the club level lounge, and boy is it loud! You can hear carts rolling around and tons of banging, especially first thing in the morning (some days as early as 5:45), and at night until about 11. It's also across the hall from the elevators, which while you can hear, aren't nearly as loud as the prep room upstairs.

On the bright side, the other guests were very quite this past week, I was worried being right at the elevators I'd hear a lot of guest noise, but I hardly heard any. There was a large conference there this week though, and it seemed there were a lot of conference goers on the floor instead of families, so maybe that's why it was a quieter crowd.
Besides the noisy room, the stay was fantastic! The weather this past week was amazing, so much better than when we usually go in September!

Here are some pictures of the room and the view. It had a daybed and a connecting door and looked out towards the bus stop.

We were in that room in February, 2022. There were only a few rooms in that hallway and it was very quiet.

Your pictures of the lounge food reminded me of our two-night stay in the YC CL in December. I loved the food.

I think your room was under the actual food service area of the lounge. The prep room is an odd numbered room & looks out onto the back door & boat dock. But I wouldn’t want to be under the actual food service area either. I’m sure they’re refilling all the china etc there too. And those hard floors don’t absorb any sound.

How bad are the daybeds at YC? We’ll be there for 3 days the end of February for a convention and our kids cannot share a bed or they’ll keep each others up all night. Are they any better than a pull out couch?

They’re not bad at all. They are not huge—in the neighborhood of a twin-sized and not as wide as the pull-out couch/bed, but they seem to have more of a real mattress than the thin couch ones. What are the ages of your kids? I would think they are pretty decent for elementary or pre-teen kids—maybe even a little older depending how tall they are.

@VAtink
Oh man, is that a garden view room? I booked garden view for May/June and would not like that noise.
