Resort Thread Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB Resorts

[Dave006]

If it’s the same you can wave it open on both sides and for those who miss that they just open normally by pushing as well. Nice to see Disney working with newer upgrades.

It is all fun and games until the doors fail. It already reminds me of the new toilet stalls at AK that have the illuminated available / occupied signs that have already failed at least once. They are adding bathroom tech all across WDW.

Hopefully it’s the kind that has the push option so the only harm done is seeing people waive at a door for no reason lol.

And then men get illuminated stall signs at AK? I feel like I should be jealous but that seems completely unnecessary…

I'm confused about the location of that bathroom with the new magic door.

“Over at Beach Club Villas (near Cape May Cafe) you'll find new bathroom doors just installed this week! Just wave your hand and they magically open!”

There is a ladies' room in the Beach Club Villas, but that is a building which is separate from Beach Club Resort. I don't think there is that much space near the bathroom door.

There is a ladies' room in the Beach Club Resort on the lobby level, but I seem to recall that it's near the Beach Club Marketplace, not near Cape May Cafe. There's a sign in the photo for Martha's Vineyard, and that's in the Beach Club not the Yacht Club.

There is a ladies room in the Yacht Club which you walk past if you came over from Beach Club and are heading toward Yacht Club lobby. I thought that one had been closed for renovation. But I could be totally wrong.

It’s the bathroom next to Martha’s Vineyard (to the right) and next to Cape May Cafe (there’s a door you can exit from, if you’re eating there, to use that bathroom.) HERE is my post from November when they first closed.

They’re installing them in the ladies’ restrooms too. This was taken in February in the ladies’ room at AK near the exit.

They're illuminated? I had no idea...

I’m not sure whether they’re illuminated or not, can’t remember, but they’re definitely easy to see when you’re wondering whether there’s an available stall!

Oh no. These are for the toilet stalls, they have an indicated indicator mounted up high so you can quickly scan along the doors to see which ones are occupied / empty.

$80?!! That’s ridiculous! When I lived in Hawaii, you could pick up those same rafts/floats at the ABC for about $15. As for the adults-only hot tub, I’d be surprised if that ever returns.

why would that surprise you, it was an all adult hot tub for many years? I just wish I knew why it wasn't returning.

Because it seems that all it needs to return it back to the “adults-only” hot tub it’s been for years is a sign and it has been months without this simple fix. So, if it hasn’t happened by now, I am just not that surprised that it wouldn’t return. Many things at WDW seem to disappear and although the hot tub is still there physically, I wouldn’t be surprised if “adults-only” returns.

Curious if anyone knows how quickly the Easter egg display’s have been taken down in the past?
We arrive at BCV 4 days after Easter & would be a cool treat if they were still up to see in person.

That looks like a lot of water view rooms out of commission! There is no way they could place guests in them? I wonder when this will wrap up? I had a room booked at YC end of May but Iooking at these pics I just bailed out and switched to GF. When I called to change resorts the CM agreed with me that the work going on at YCBC was pretty extensive and that she was just at the Boardwalk and it looks like a construction zone. I was grateful to even get the GF because pickings are slim with the Bounceback for end of May now.

A question for those that have been to Stormalong Bay very recently...we went in October, and the lazy river rafts (with the seat in them) were always taken, unless you went first thing in the morning. I can spend hours in the lazy river, love it. But so very frustrating to have to wait for 10 minutes for one. Have they added more of these rafts or is the wait still long in the afternoons? Also, did they add the "all adult" sign to the hot tub that used to be adults only? And if they didn't, does anyone know why it didn't return back to all adult?

I just saw this posted on FB. This is the only report so far. I’ll follow up.

“Lounge floats have been removed for lazy river. They are available if you rent a cabana. The existing floats are clear tube and only comfortable for one lap.”

They appear to offer 2 of the blue lounge floats in each cabana. Didn't realize they were so hard to come by!

We had a very nice three night stay at the Beach Club 3/1-4. We had a free upgrade to a great water view room just steps away from the main elevators and the Marketplace. We were given a handicap room for the second time in a row even though we didn’t request it. We had a handicap room at POR in February.

Room 1641 - ground floor
2 queen beds, very low and a sofa bed
Bathroom has a single sink that will accommodate a wheelchair. The tub/shower was the best part of the room. The bathroom had a pocket door.

The room was located in a short hallway that had 7 handicap rooms and 6 regular rooms. The bellman told us that the doors with two peep holes, one at eye level and one at waist level, were handicapped rooms.

The room that we were in had a very bright patio light. It is the one on the ground floor in the nighttime picture.

Thanks for pix. I think they are struggling to assign rooms with such a chunk closed for construction work on siding.
