I get it, I have a few of those....It is fine for 3-4 days, but after that it is monotonous. The kids even got bored with the same snacks and breakfast. For $160+ more a night (x2 rooms since we are a family of seven usually), it just isn't great for a long trip. Now Hard Rock or Portofino (on the dark side) different story. The CL there is a must.
Greeting SAB friends! I am back from a most joyous stay at YC!!! It was myself, my DD10, DD9, and DS8. My little man has ASD, and can be somewhat of a challenge, but I will tell you YC received his seal of approvalWe arrived approx. 3:45pm, but I received a room ready text as we waited for our flight (10:30am). I had booked a LV CL room so when the text came through that our room number was 2155 I started getting annoyed. Then I realized we were probably upgraded.
We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom turret suite! There were two separate 2 queen bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a living area. The minifridge in the living area was stocked with sodas and water which was cool. Off the first bedroom was a full balcony which overlooked the walkway from the lobby, and in the hall was a Juliet balcony. Looking out from the Turret, you can see the YC lighthouse, BW (DHS fireworks), and to the left Iluminations
The pool was a hit and the lifeguards were so great to my kids, just kind people. We ate at Beaches and Cream YUMMMMMMM. Also, my younger two did the Sandcastle Club, and LOVED it!!! Highly recommend them. My DS15 sang in the Candlelight with NPH and WOW! WOW! just WOW. What else.....my only complaint was no turndown and no replenishment of toiletries. BUT we had the big Sea Marine bottles so we were good to go. They also provided toothbrush & toothpaste, a razor and shaving cream, and solar gel. The BC lobby décor is so pretty, and so is YC. The front desk CMs were helpful when we checked in fixing our MBs (which didn't link up but I blame my many ch-ch-changes). In the future I doubt I will stay anywhere else but BC/YC/BWI, there really is NOTHING like the EPCOT area.
Darn, we are there the 21st to the 28th. Wasn't really planning on going again so soon, but Jimmy likes using my cast discount and it is hard to say no to another Disney trip!! Love the 60% off Holiday Discount too
We are currently staying at the Grand Floridian, instead of our favorite Beach Club, and we really hate taking the monorail to and from Epcot from the GF. You have to switch monorails at the TTC and sometimes the lines are long. We prefer the BC bus to MK over taking two monorails.
Just checking in as it's our last night staying at the BC before moving to the Poly the rest of the way. Everything has been fantastic and has exceeded our expectations (aside from a quick room change due to noisy neighbors in the middle of the night - connecting room). The staff has been great and the club level offerings are top notch as well. The breakfast is on par with the Grand Floridian, and they have fresh options every night instead of the typical microwaveables some of the other resorts have offered lately (crab Rangoon, conch fritter, corn dogs, etc). The Beringer wine and Shoffhoffer beer are improvements over what was served previously as well. The renovated lounge is a great size.
We also prefer the lighter decor and the staff of the BC over what we experienced at the Yacht Club previously. We love the Poly but it's going to be hard for it to match this stay. PS- the brunch at Cali Grill was one of our most enjoyable meals on property and I highly recommend it.
OH thanks about the brunch. When DH and DS leave on 1/15 DD and I have it booked after we check out of BLT to eat up time until our AKL CL check in.Just checking in as it's our last night staying at the BC before moving to the Poly the rest of the way.
