Thanks to everyone who has responded to my questions. Another thanks to those who supply the pics and reports.
We have made a switch to our trip. Instead of BC CL from Aug 5th to 8th, we are staying at YC CL from Aug 4th to 7th. (Yay, summer discount!)
Since we are staying CL and will likely be partaking in the evening snacks and appetizers, we would like some advice on where to go to get evening QS at BC or YC. I imagine we may head over to Epcot one or two evenings and dine there, but there may be a night or two we may want to stay at the resort. What QS meals do you enjoy at BC or YC?

I'll make the adjustment to your listing.
There are some great suggestions in the following response and others.
At the Yacht Club, they are currently testing a Fresh Express offering- either pickup or room delivery at the Yacht Club. There is a menu posted on Page 1 (Post 1). Not sure if that will continue.
Also, QS offerings at the YC Fittings & Fairings gift shop are expected soon- May?
Personally, with all of the great QS options in EPCOT and the ease of getting there, we often have meals there and sometimes bring it back to our room. The Tangierine Café in Morocco, QS in Japan and Sunshine Seasons are our favorites.
If you are looking for QS meals on the dining plan there's not a ton of options at the resorts - we've enjoyed some decent sandwiches/flatbreads from the BC QS place but it has a pretty limited menu. You can walk over to Boardwalk Bakery, but I'd probably just walk to Epcot and get fish & chips or something from Les Halles since we prefer those places. Hurricane Hanna's is QS on the dining plan and is a relaxing place to grab a drink and food but frankly the food isn't all that good -- I'm not particularly picky but didn't finish my burger last time we ate there. If you are going to pay out of pocket I think the best option for something that doesn't require reservations is Crew's Cup Lounge -- good food and drinks but fairly pricey.
Thank you for the excellent suggestions.
We have reservations booked for the last week of August. The last time we stayed at YC we had a nasty encounter with a man at the pool. He and his family took the last row of chairs. When we took the chairs in front of them he got very ugly and aggressive about how we were blocking his view of his kids in the pool. There were no castmembers around, so rather than get into a physical altercation we left the pool. My spouse is worried we'll encounter that attitude again. It was a Sunday in June. Is late August better? Alternatively, would it help to avoid Sunday? Any chance they've installed some sort of cabana I can rent?
I am so sorry to hear that happen. I have to say that this is an unusual occurrence. Yes, late August should be less crowded than June in the parks and pools but this was not a function of the time of year, time of day or day of the week. You just happened to encounter a jerk. That can happen any time and any place, but nothing even close to this has happened to me in many trips to Stormalong Bay.
I can understand your husband not wanting to repeat this unpleasant experience but you should be fine. There are also a few less crowded nooks and crannies at the pool by going over a few of the bridges.
Good luck and enjoy your time at the pool.
Is there any way to find out now what time and days of the week the BC does the campfire and outdoor movies the first week of June? Or about when do they publish a schedule for this? Thank you.
I am usually able to get a copy of the activities schedule in the first few days of the month. Sometimes guests who are staying club level can get a calendar emailed to them, so if someone gets one to me sooner, I will post it.
To get an idea of the times in previous years, go to Page 1, Post 4 and there is a link with an archive of past schedules.
@natebenma can I be added to the 'be our guest' list? We'll be at the BC 5/25-5/31
back!
Absolutely!
I just noticed you have a trip report going for your Jan trip. I'll check that out when I get a chance although I am hopelessly behind here, on my trip report and generally everywhere!
