@GADisneyDad14. Thanks for all the updates and photos
I am here now. Not only do they check Magic Bands, they give you a bracelet to wear after they’ve checked you.Yes, I know all of that. I was asking to ensure that it is still happening, as Disney sometimes changes procedures, especially now. Someone with recent experience did answer my question and confirm that it is still occurring.
You had a great room location. We had a room in that area and the convenience to the elevator and lobby was fantastic.We ended up with the rooms shown below. Since the other bank of 2BRs is on the very far end of BC (towards Epcot) - this location and the fact our rooms were right across the hall were absolutely perfect - this part of BC is just steps from everything. Major good luck/fortune from the room assignors on that one.
That short commode was an anomaly, I'm sure. We had one of those short commodes when we stayed in a deluxe room at the Wilderness Lodge, so I know that it isn't unique to the BC.Do all BC rooms have the "short" commodes?
This is the first time I've seen it.Not sure I had seen these stickers on the room fridges before.

Hurricane Hanna really needs to open the quick service and drink area. Everyone has to line up at the bar now, which is not very efficient at all.
They all have the Keurig coffee maker.Do all the BC rooms have Keurig coffee makers now? or is it still a mix of them and those other ones?
The bartenders will refill your mug.Since the drink station isn't open at HH yet, can you get your mug refilled at the bar? I'm not sure if we'll wait in a long line, but if it isn't long it will beat walking to the Marketplace.
Having a full balcony is probably the main reason we choose YC over BC. Yes, there is a disparity there as BC has those Juliet, or as you say cheater balconies. Still, we requested a full balcony at YC as they do have a few of the small Juliet onesBy coincidence, I was just heading to this thread to ask similar. I have reservations for BC for the first half of a split stay next March (Poly is the second half), and I'd love to have a balcony. A real one, not those dorky little cheater balconies. I didn't realize until after I made the reservation that there was such a huge balcony disparity between BC and YC! Is this something worth changing the reservation to YC for, or is it a request they're likely to be able to honor at BC? We have resort days planned, so we'll have time to enjoy it. We were otherwise opting for BC over YC only because the vibe seemed more "us," so if I can have both (vibe and balcony), that would be nice. But if it would be kind of a risk, I'd rather have balcony.
I guess the question is how often people make that a particular request, maybe. Though... based on the questions in the past day or two here, I suppose it might be pretty common.
Not enoughHow many Mickey Waffles come with an order from BeachClub Marketplace?
Thanks!
As far as purchasing a gallon of water, I usually do that for the coffee pot since tap water is not good for making coffee or drinking. I really had a hard time finding gallons this past trip, and ended up having to buy distilled water, but that was kept behind the counter rather than inside the refrigeration area.
When I was there in April, I had to buy it over in the Boardwalk store. I think it's called the Mercantile. The little store in the yacht club did not carry it.Hi, could anyone confirm where I can get a gallon of distilled water at Yacht Club?
I had a room on the floor above you with full balcony. I didn’t realize we could see the Epcot fireworks until our last night when we were in our room packingWanted to report on my recent BC stay. For some quick background, I'm a mostly YC person (multiple trips) with one small BC stay in 2016. For whatever reason BC just has never called to me/us that much - the lobby always bugs me how busy it is, we like the sandy side of SAB better which is closer to YC, I consider the limited balconies a somewhat material negative, etc. But I must say we really enjoyed the stay. Not perfect, but pretty darn good. DW even started saying "why don't we ever stay here, it's great."
We were traveling with friends who booked one of the 2BR suites, I booked a Garden/Woods View. Our room requests were close to the lobby and adjoining rooms / traveling with the other party. We ended up with the rooms shown below. Since the other bank of 2BRs is on the very far end of BC (towards Epcot) - this location and the fact our rooms were right across the hall were absolutely perfect - this part of BC is just steps from everything.

Our room was in good condition, minus a few dents and dings (nothing major).

I did miss having a balcony. Didn't hate it, but didn't love it either.

Not bad for a "garden or woods view."

Try BC. Any resort with DVC should have it.Hi, could anyone confirm where I can get a gallon of distilled water at Yacht Club?

Can anyone there now tell me if they are selling cases of water at the Marketplace? I saw on page one of this thread that you can buy 8 12 oz. bottles of water for $4.49 but that information is from July, 2018. I’m back and forth between getting water delivered and just buying some at the Marketplace. We only need water so I’m not sure if I want to go the delivery route.
