Here are some answers to open questions:

Hurricane Hanna's started limited breakfast today, from 7:00 a.m.-10:30 a.m.; it's currently scheduled to run till Aug 13.

The pool hours are 9:00 a.m. till 10:00 p.m.

Marshmallow roasting is on the beach, around the pit.

There are two glider swings on the beach.

Lots of chaise lounges set up on the beach.

Start date for room refurb at YC not firmly established.

I actually recently asked this question as we too want to be near the lobby. I put 'near elevator' as my only request. We've been to BC a few times and didn't realize that there are another set of elevators apparently near the quiet pool. I think we'd like this area too, so I just left our online check in requests as 'near elevator'. We'd prefer lobby area, but would be happy with either elevator request.

Someone posted that we can call the reservation number and ask the CM to put near lobby on our reservation; worth a try!

My roomie?

Yes!

I have another question
There's no QS in the YC, correct? Is there anywhere to fill up coffee and drinks at least? If we're on the DDP, where would we be using our refillable mugs?

Also- 2-7 of November- do you think Christmas decor will be up already? (In the BC/YC or in the parks at all?)

It may seem cheap, and it may have something to do with work at the resort, but the Agency that does those deals books rooms like a convention, and they are willing to share in the savings in booking a ton of rooms. I used that Agency several times, and will again this fall. I had no trouble. They gave me my Disney number immediately, and had no issue linking the reservation to my account, and no issue at the hotels or with tickets. For what it's worth, we like the style of the YC more than the Beach Club, and we really appreciated being the first to be picked up by the bus and dropped off when going to the MK early one morning. The bus normally goes to YC before BC.

Thank you for explaining I still haven't finalized my dates but if all goes well, I think I'd prefer the YC.

Could you post the name of this agency... My husband and I would love to try the Yacht Club this fall!

In the morning the Ale & Compass lounge off the lobby has coffee(for mug refill) pastery, bagels, cereal, fruit etc. Someone posted on this thread Hurricane Hanna is now open for breakfast. Crews Cup lounge next to Yachtsman Steak House has some nice food at night. Love their burgers.
Hurricsne Hanna also has a refill station and a CS. BC is really not that long a walk, mostly thru inside hallway with a short piece outside but under a roofed walkway.

I never had a problem with food options at YC.

So... This is new!!!

I don't know whether this is permanent or just a temporary trial, but good news, especially for Yacht Club guests

Around Christmas time, this was available, too. We were staying CL, so never actually got down there to see it but I remember the sign being up for breakfast.

Thanks y'all!
I'm still on the lookout for an 8am adr and obviously everything hinges on getting the frozen fp. Just a few more days until I can nail it all down.

Can't guarantee of course but as a previous poster said if all you can get is a later ADR go ahead and book it and show up at opening. As long as I have been listed on the early ADR list at the gate I have been let in and seated right away.
We had an 8:40 at Crystal Palace on our last trip. The seven of us showed up at 7:50. Let in at 8:00 and promptly seated. We were finished with our meal at 8:45.

 

[Shellyb84]

Hope you have an incredible trip!!!

I have a wish list, somewhere, of pictures/info I want. I guess it is a "Wish I could find it" list now.

A couple of things if you see this and are able to fulfill the requests without interfering in the enjoyment of your vacation:

Current pool hours

Soft drink dispensers at the Marketplace and/or Hurricane Hanna's

I am working on getting the July activities schedule, but my source has not released it yet. You will probably be at the resort before I can post it for you.

Thanks! So far it's been great. A few minor issues but they've been resolved quickly and easily. Every CM here at the BC has been wonderful! We have a great room with a huge balcony. I'll post some view pictures after our trip.

Looks like someone answered the pool hours question. I will get some info on the drink offerings later today! Let me know if there's anything else!

Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday!

Definitely getting there early! I was able to get a Frozen FP

My new December dates are 11/30-12/2, and Brandon is doing CP on 12/1 with NPH. It is now a solo trip (for now) and at Poly since the TA offer is sold out for BC...but you can consider the resort TBD because I am never "settled" at Poly...which is where I am now

I'm sorry that the dates changed and we won't meet you. But it is great that you will have Neal Patrick Harris as the narrator for your son's Candlelight Processional performance.

I thought I would post some of our pictures from last week.

Thank you for posting the pictures. The beach still looks lovely, even with the fence.

Wrote you a message

We have had our mugs refilled by the bartender at Ale and Compass, but there have been reports that the bartender won't refill the mugs for health reasons.

The resorts decorations don't usually go up that early in November. Magic Kingdom will be decorated in time for the first MVMCP, which is scheduled for Nov 7th.

Just booked our first stay at the Yacht Club! Lagoon view during Food and Wine of next year. We are 489 days out, but I have two other WDW trips and one Disney Cruise between now and then, so that will help with my patience level .

Hi Everybody. I haven't been on the boards since moving ... hurts too much. But today I went on and saw so many of my friends. I miss you all so much. I am adjusting to my "new normal" but miss my Florida life horribly.

Some good news though. After our week at Anna Maria Island (July 23-30), instead of flying home from Tampa, Jeanne, Lily and I are driving to Port Canaveral and hopping on the Disney Fantasy for a week. It will be Lily's first cruise and she is beyond excited. When I told her last week, she immediately starting packing and has been repacking and rearranging her pile of things to take ever since. I cannot tell you all how happy I am to be going back on board my happy place.

I miss everybody so much ... for 12 years I saw most of you every year or so and it became part of my life.

I am thrilled that I am going to meet up with some of you when I'm there with Lily in September!!! I wish more of you were going to be there at the same time!

I haven't posted pictures of the new house yet because Jeanne still has boxes everywhere. Hopefully before we head to Anna Maria Island she will have the place unpacked.

Hugs to all!!!!!!!!!

P.S. And my new business "The Grading Nanny" is taking off like crazy ... been busy all summer too since lots of the schools here go year round. Not as much fun as being at the BC but gives me money for my trips!!

 

[BeachClub7]

We are in a refurb BCV studio! I will post pics as I can. Had lunch by SAB with DH. Time for a nap as we will be heading to MK with teenagers for EMH (1a-3a) Wish us luck! LOL

 

[jerseygal]

TeensS, continued good wishes and good luck to you and your family! So true, wherever we move, we must adjust to a new life, but there is something special so close to our hearts like our home! BEST of luck with your new business, awesome!

 

[cocoabean1]

Are they allowing people to sit on the gliders or lounge chairs on the beach to watch the fireworks?

I am sad too I'm glad I looked though at the online itinerary, and I was able to change flights...etc. I am sure one of these days our trips will finally coincide!

TEENA Great news about the business and the cruise!!! We are trying out Sanibel Island this year, and I'll post a comparison on AMI and Sanibel for future reference
