Oh, does the International gateway have a guest relations where I can activate my AP? I want to do that before we head to MK our first morning.

Yes - they do. We just did the same thing in November. There are two separate Guest Relations/Ticket Booths as you approach IG. For AP activation, go to the one on the left!

JetBlue extension alert!

On February 7th @ 12:00 p.m (EST), JetBlue will be extending their schedule through October 29, 2016.

I can finally book the flights for our trip followed by watching the home team in the Super Bowl (hopefully)!!

Thanks for posting this!

I think the SW extension for fall hours is going to be Feb 18-ish, so we are torn about whether to book the Jet Blue from Logan immediately or wait until the flights come out and fly SW out of Manchester.

From your lips... on the Superbowl thing. I am hesitant to post much because I am uncharacteristically superstitious. We have been fans of the home team since the lean years when the stadium didn't sell out and the games were blacked out.

It's a Small World After All.....We use the same airports! We have also flown B6 out of Worcester too.
I haven't bought tix for my August trip yet b/c B6 is so expensive out of BOS. $150+ without bags. I'm hoping for something good on Southwest, but I'm not holding my breath. :-/ Good luck to both of us!
PS- Pat's fan too! But lately I take the kids out of the house so DH can watch the games in peace so I don't see as much as I used to. ;-)

Sadly, I also need to be taken off the BOG list. We had to move our trip dates and we'll now be at the BWI instead -- which I'm equally as excited for and I'll still be able to get my BC fix being so close.

Hey All....
Thought I would throw out a random bit of info for BC side of things.
If you search on Youtube the following lines you can hear the lobby music from the BC. Great background while reading this thread!

• angel's dance billy joe walker Jr.
• letters from home pat metheny
• last summer song acoustic alchemy
• restoration bob james

Oh?
Would you like the entire BC/YC soundtrack list?
It's not hard to put together on Spotify, or to put together on iTunes.

I thought of you when I read Mike's post. I remember when you were asking about the soundtrack, and then did you send us a link or list of the songs? I looked for the post(s), but couldn't find it.

A true New England fan. I won't say much either other than I will be watching from the ESPN Club this year. Last year I watched the Pat's win from the GF, and Patriot Mickey was there watching too...he watches all the games so of course, he came along. See avatar. He would be very disappointed if I have to leave him home. Not saying I'm superstitious or anything...

First time CL at BC. Will someone contact me or do I have to reach out to them. I just booked it about two weeks ago. Heading down in May.

It can be hit or miss with the IPO'S contacting guests. I usually send an introductory email after I book. I put our last name and reservation number in the subject line. Congrats on booking. Hope you have a great vacation!

Sure. The one i have has some rather obscure (old or not valid) songs included. Wouldn't mind seeing a real list.

If you only want to activate your AP then you can do it at either the ticket booth on the right or the guest relations booth on the left. If you want to buy a Tables in Wonderland card at the same time, then you can only do that at the Guest Relations booth.

Hello gang, I just changed my resort reservation to Yacht Club due to my concerns about construction at WL, we check in on Saturday! Nothing like some last minute reservations.

We switched our February WL CL to the BC GV. I had to do a lot of fastpass and ADR rearranging when I switched, but I'm glad I did.

Thanks, Sue, I really appreciated all your reports from WL but in the end just worried about the value for my first CL stay. I'll save CL for the Poly in the fall. I am really excited about yacht club, We stayed at the Beach club end of August last year and one of my favorite parts of the day was waking up before everyone and walking down to Ale and Compass to fill up our coffee mugs. So peaceful!

Is it too early for May 2017 announcement?? Lol. Our Canadian dollar has tanked so 2016 will have to be our year off. We went to Caribbean beat and unfortunately it was a bit of a disaster and we are Sooooo looking forward to coming home. We plan to buy DVC on this trip as well

We will be there may 9-17. Longer if the dollar rebounds a bit. Plan to also do a water park for the first time ever, and the keys to the kingdom tour. Can anyone suggest daytime child care options for my hubby and I to do the tour?? Thanks!!!

 

[figmentedfollies]

I am sorry everyone, but my YC trip had to be canceled due to lack of funds for some of our travelers. So instead of YC I will be hanging out in the Wilderness all by my lonesome... I don't know how I will get by without Stormalong Bay or that unique Beach Club scent. Maybe I'll have to stop by for nostalgic reasons.

 

[Pinkgirl]

So, not only can I not smell the smell at Beach and Yacht Club, it appears I dont hear the music either

Please can I be taken off the BOG list for May, we've been able to get a Poly stay instead, thought we'd mix it up this year - Still at BC in November

Will do, and glad you are coming back later in the year.

Hello gang, I just changed my resort reservation to Yacht Club due to my concerns about construction at WL, we check in on Saturday! Nothing like some last minute reservations. I have stayed at Beach Club before, but only popped over to Yacht for my early morning coffee. I am a big planner and i have no time! I booked a standard view, anything I should put in for requests?

Oh, does the International gateway have a guest relations where I can activate my AP? I want to do that before we head to MK our first morning.

back!

I'll put you as a last minute addition to the Be Our Guest list.



For YC SV, I think I would request "Close to lobby elevator". The worst views at the YC are at the end of the halls of the resort, I think. Plus, this would be a decent location to get to the lobby/transportation.

Sadly, I also need to be taken off the BOG list. We had to move our trip dates and we'll now be at the BWI instead -- which I'm equally as excited for and I'll still be able to get my BC fix being so close.

Will do! Have a fantastic trip!

Never too early! I'll make the adjustment to the list.

I don't know about the child care, but I have heard there are some organizations out there that will supply babysitters who have been screened. I can't think of the name, but I may have some info in Post 14 on Page 1 of this thread.

Anyone else have recommendations?

Sorry to hear that.

Hope you make the most of your trip.

You are not alone.

I haven't really noticed the music in the lobby. My hearing is poor, and I am probably too busy either being mesmerized by the beautiful surroundings, or if I am lucky, I am meeting and chatting with friends.

I don't always detect the smell either, sadly, and I do have a pretty impressive sense of smell.

Do all CL rooms at BC have full balconies?

 

[natebenma]

Do all CL rooms at BC have full balconies?

No, but about 80% of them do. The BC CL GV rooms all have full balconies, but not all of the Standard View or Water View rooms have them.

That Pats Mickey had better not be sitting next to me.........and I'd advise you to keep a close eye on him....lol...just sayin...Crescent Lake is not too far away.....

Since we have been testing the waters of other resorts lately...I am looking forward to hearing what you think of the new CL digs at the YC...

Dee Whenever I get a chance I pop over to your most recent TR...oh my those Orange Banded Monkey...truly have made me lol....my DD and I ran into Ninjamom on our recent trip...and who I recognized from the TR pics...and are still laughing when ever we talk about that encounter....she was gracious and of course hilarious...
