Resort Thread Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB Resorts

Hi Everyone!

I am booked for BCCL GV for the first time. How far are these rooms from the CL room that has the offerings?

Are the rooms in an overall good location?

I am trying to get a feel for the resort.

Thanks!
 
Hi, the normal Beach Club bus stop re-opened on October 15 (yesterday), there are bus wait time screens and it's about a minute and a half from the front of the hotel.

The bus drivers must not have all gotten the memo! My girls were on a bus back to YC/BC and they said their driver dropped off guests at the temporary stop, then realized that wasn't right and had to go to the regular bus stop and pick up people. And then our driver last night from Disney Springs said "oh no, I missed the turn, son of a gun!" and proceeded to hang a U turn in the middle of the road!
 
There's no way they would allow everyone into SAB by just turning a handle. It'll be either manned, or have to use your magic band. Then, get a wristband so you can go in and out at will, like they do now.
I'm talking about the BC quiet pool.

It appears that Disney are going to put up a fence at SAB. More than likely, it will have a gate similar to the Poly's with a MagicBand scanner.

YES! That happened to us today! We were waiting for the AK bus and the driver pulled into the temporary bus stop then tried to U-Turn in the parking lot! It took him forever and we missed our FP+ for Everest :sad2:
The CM at the bus stop (Noah, i think) was doing Disney Trivia (I know it's off-topic but he was getting into some really good Epcot stuff, like WOL and Horizons!) whilst we were waiting though:dogdance:

I think most, if not all, BC CL gv rooms overlook the back entrance (lakeside) courtyard. Fantastic people watching from these rooms.

Pretty convenient to lounge I think.

Look on post 8 for detailed room map.
 
Well, I tried and here's the e-mail response. Still doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Hope it works out for you one way or the other. I have to go pack now for our arrival on Wednesday!

Thank you for contacting DISNEY VACATION CLUB®.

We appreciate your interest in Vacation Planning and are happy to assist
you further.

The Deluxe Studio Villas at DISNEY'S BEACH CLUB Villas accommodate 4
plus an infant. They h ave 1 Queen Bed, 1 Full Sleeper Sofa, and that
bedding configuration has not changes at this resort.

Thanks for trying again. :) I think they just are not going to officially change anything until they have every little punch list item completed. Our point rental place said she would keep checking for me regularly and for some reason she seems optimistic it will change in time for our trip. I'm going to explore some different options to put my son up someplace else in the meantime. Nothing I can do about it ultimately and we knew with renting points we were limiting our flexibility, so that's just the way it goes sometimes. We'll find a solution and still have a wonderful time!

Our MK bus driver did a trivia quiz on our last day of our recent BC stay. It was really a lot of fun. I didn't know the names of Donald Duck's nieces. I didn't even know he had nieces. ;)

new soarin is Awesome! Met up with Janetmom and Nannette for the ride.

I love the new Soarin'. I have two fastpasses for the ride during our next trip.

Tell Nannette that we say "hi". :)

Now you know what the gazebo view looks like. :)
 
I am sure there are pictures on this thread somewhere but i can not locate them. I am looking for a video or pictures of beach club studios newly renovated. thank you!

are the studios smaller than a standard size room at the beach club or about the same? I know about the beds and pull out couch thank you!

Dee has posted some pictures of the remodeled studios in this post on the first page of this thread:

The studios are a little longer and narrower than a regular BC resort room, but probably close in size. There is a lot of information about the DVC villas in the DVC section of this forum. :)

I have seen room layouts and sizes for all the DVC resorts somewhere in that section. You just have to search a bit. :)
 
Bounceback- still free dining
YC didn't give any brochure with the bounce back info, but they did place the offer letter and print for Poly Villas ($100 gift card for taking the tour) in the room. Also, no folio on the door and never received an email. I had to call today to get them to email me a list of charges so that I could confirm that they didn't double charge my valet like they did in July at BWI. (and never credited it back after they assured me that they would handle it at IKC)
 
We moved over to YC CL yesterday. We were greeted out front which was nice and were offered the welcome drink while we checked in. Got to chat with a couple of CM's from the past which was also nice. Room wasn't ready upon arrival but we got the text about an hour later that it was. Lounge is much more spacious than it was and the offerings have been really good so far.

On another note.... the room only BB is now available for next year and as I expected all of October and November are excluded. Deluxes are 30% off- not great but better than nothing. I'll post our room view a little later today.

Sounds like a busy, exhausting, satisfying firs day. Have fun.
