Whomp whomp. I was hoping it would be nice and fresh. No matter, still super excited for our first stay.
Love blues and whites, so clean and crisp!
The room & lobby both looked brand new to me. The only old thing was the elevator which may have been from the 80s!
Thank you Wood Nymph. Exactly the information I was looking for.My husband likes to sit at a table, so we usually sit at what I call tree island if we get there early enough to get a table. If those tables are gone, we will sit at the tables near the sandy pool at the YC end of SAB. Tree island is right by the YC exit gate, in front of the Yachtsman, and it is nice and centrally located. I know that the tables near the BC exit are popular, but that area is a little congested and you can only see the volleyball pool rather than the broader panorama of tree island or the YC side.
You can also keep looking for a cabana. They do open up when people cancel.
We had the sleeper sofa in the last 2 standard view rooms we've had at Yacht (one Club, one regular). The room was located at the front of the hotel, overlooking the Portico. Didn't hear much noise as far as I recall.
With a party of 5, yes, they'll assign you to a room with the daybed in addition to the 2 queens.
Pretty much like other YC rooms except for the view. You may receive a parking lot view, roof top view or partial rooftop, little garden view. The rooms will be similar to other YC rooms. The rooms have a double sink, bathroom with walk-in shower, with 5 people double queen bed with pullout sleep sofa, dresser, tv, small fridge, coffe maker, closet with safe, iron board, hair dryer, and a couple of side tables, one on the left of one bed, and one on the left of the second bed. Check the video that someone attached for you or go on you tube for many YC room tours to get a lay out. It’s my favorite resort. You are surrounded by a ton of things to do and the best pool around which you will need in August!
This was my thought exactly! Hope to bump into you in August!
I am getting ready for my trip on Tuesday and have been reading information all over the place. FWIW someone somewhere mentioned their category changed from woods/garden to resort view. That person's trip is not in the immediate future. Like you, my woods/garden has not changed on my MDE. So maybe the room assigners don't switch to the new categories for a bit longer. Although I did get the email about the change. So. . .
FWIW, I just updated our online check in for tomorrow on the app because I accidentally put the wrong credit card, and it’s saying Resort View now. Up until then it was still saying Garden/Woods. According to the emails you’re supposed to still be placed in whatever category you had booked but if I see roof gravel I’m definitely going to the front desk.
Good for you. Make sure you keep up to date this this since rooms categorized as Water View (crescent lake or quiet pool), Resort View (garden, rooftop or parking lot) and then Standard (rooftop or parking lot). I have a water view with a specific room area request on the CL in October 2023. Last December I requested a specific room area and they put me next to the elevators and lounge area. I spoke up and they moved me to the room a requested with a few perks included. I was very upset that the first night there was nothing but noise, but the CM CL manger did a great job helping out.
Our last stay in December was a YC standard view on the 4th floor. The view was a rooftop and the back of the convention center, but we realized the second nite we had the perfect location to see the Magic Kingdom fireworks! You never know
We scored a table last May when SAB opened. We don't stay long at the pool, but it was packed, plus chair hogs, when we left about an hour later.
We have ordered from Amazon fresh every time we have stayed. Our last trip in January we had an issue and our delivery never showed up. My husband called and spoke to Amazon and it arrived the next day and they refunded our money. Yes that is the correct address.
