CCV (WL) is nice, but it's no Beach Club!We did the DVC talk last October and got the FPs and the $100 gift card. We also bought in, though.

Hey Dee, officially moved from POR to YC-GV for a brief two-night stay Oct. 27-29 to decompress from an eight-night Eastern Caribbean tour on the Fantasy. It;s nice to be coming home. Planning on significant SAB time as long as the weather cooperates.

Can I request a rollaway cot? We'll need a room with 2 queen beds. If we don't get a room with a day bed or a fold-out sleeper chair, can we request a rollaway cot?
Does Martha's Vinyard still host Trivia night?
Lots of good updated info here, including info on th Wi-Fi upgrade project:

We just completed a split stay at Yacht and Contemporary. Aside from the unbeatable theme park view from 4747 at Contemporary, our YC room on the 5th floor (Crescent Lake view) was one of our favorites we have ever stayed at. Super impressed with the refurbishments, especially the walk-in shower. Also, the staff is far superior and much friendlier at YC than Contemporary’s from our experience.
We also just completed a split stay between the Contemporary and YC. We were in room 4748 at Contemporary, so we were neighbors! You are right, that view is spectacular! We were in 2112 at YC, which is a garden view facing the tennis courts. The view wasn't anything special, but the room was quiet the resort is beautiful.
Here's a photo of the view from our room (2112) and the hotel lobby.View attachment 424756View attachment 424755
We arrived safely on Thursday evening.

I don't know if it's acceptable, but I'll own I would totally do it. My littles don't sleep that late, though....Last year we stayed CL at the Polynesian, and our room was on the same floor and just a few doors down from the lounge. If this turns out to be the case this year where the BC CL lounge is just a short distance from the room, is it acceptable to leave the room and walk a few doors down to the lounge with the video monitor in hand to watch the littles as they sleep? (whispering, "Am I a bad mom for even wondering about this?")
YesQuestion- if I book a room at the Villas through Disney’s website, do I receive the benefits of a regular room, ex. daily mousekeeping, toiletries, etc?
We overlap some.....I just counted and in 11 days we'll be lazing around SOB!I am getting so, so, so excited about our first trip to YC. Just 16 more days!

Do you have hoppers? It’s pretty far piece to walkAm I crazy thinking that we can walk through Epcot to the Monorail and then either take the Monorail or Boat to MK when staying at YC? I usually have a rental car but thinking it would be nice to not have one for this trip since we can easily get to two of the parks.
Yes, you can. The bus would be quicker though if your primary destination is MK. You'll also need a hopper type pass since you'll be using one for Epcot and then eventually MK. From a general time perspective it will take you about 15 minutes from IG to Epcot Main Entrance, if you go through WS via UK/Canada and head straight to the front gate. Assume a 10 - 15 minute wait for the monorail, another 10 - 15 minutes from Epcot to TCC. Then transfer to MK monorail or Boat. In my opinion the monorail would be quicker, maybe 10 minutes. Boat could be longer with waiting, loading and unloading. If I had to put numbers on it, from IG to MK using all monorail allow about an hour. Using boat from TCC to MK, closer to 80 - 90 minutes.Am I crazy thinking that we can walk through Epcot to the Monorail and then either take the Monorail or Boat to MK when staying at YC?

Last minute kind of random question. Do the rooms at BC have any outlets close the the floor? I feel like most rooms only have ones that low behing something and not exposed but we started wondering last night if we need to slightly babyproof our room hahaha.

We have gone this way several times in November and December as a leisurely transition. I agree with pp that it could be rough in the heat. We also choose to walk to/from HS at times, and I don't remember the extended route through IG to monorail and MK to be much different.Am I crazy thinking that we can walk through Epcot to the Monorail and then either take the Monorail or Boat to MK when staying at YC?

This is our method of choice for getting to the MK from an Epcot resort unless Epcot is closed or we are in a hurry and don’t have time. It’s a lovely walk and it avoids busses- win, win ! As others mentioned, you need a hopper pass though.Am I crazy thinking that we can walk through Epcot to the Monorail and then either take the Monorail or Boat to MK when staying at YC?
