Has Yacht Club begun room renovations yet? What is the proposed timeline?
to the thread!
I think I missed responding to your post yesterday- my multi-quote capabilities are twitchy.
Do you have an upcoming trip booked or are you in the planning stages?
As ~Ninja replied, we try to keep the first post on Page 1 updated with the latest confirmed info about the YC renovations and other resort news.
I think the renovations have started or will be starting in the next few days. Unfortunately, Disney does not provided a timeline to us- has anyone seen anything when booking or on Disney refurbishment pages listing an expected end-date?
I am also not sure how the work will be done- floor to floor (as it has been done in the past) or wing by wing (like the recent BCV renovation). From what I read yesterday from a guest's report, sounds like they are doing work on (some) rooms on club level now.
We just rented points for Marathon Weekend 2018 for a BCV Studio. While we have stayed in the main resort before, we have never stayed in the BCV. Any particular location in the building we should try and request?
How is the transportation to Disney Springs these days? We never took a bus before as we always had our car. This time we are flying in, but want to get to DS one or two times.
to the thread and the resort!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1, Post 15.
I don't have any direct experience with the villas or any recent experience with the Disney Spring buses, so I will leave it to others to add their feedback.
Please place us on you Be Our Guest list for August 13-18.
We have never stayed at the Beach Club before and are so excited!!

I'll add you to the list.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Any updates on what's going on with Ale & Compass? Hoping not much, but it sounded like a big reno was in its near future.
I don't know- haven't heard anything. I wonder if the work they are doing at Fittings & Fairings, which I have heard will include quick serve options, is a replacement for what had been reported about Ale & Compass.
If anyone hears anything, please share!
Hi, we will be at the Beach Club in August and on our last day we won't be leaving for our flight until 6 pm. I know that you can generally use the BC pool on checkout day, but will we be allowed to use the pool that long after checkout? TIA!
Also, in August, how hot and humid is it in the morning? If I run to France for a chocolate croissant will it be melted by the time I'm back at the hotel?

I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
As others have indicated, you are considered a guest of the resort until midnight of your checkout day, so you can use Stormalong Bay until it closes the night you check out. Hopefully by the time of your trip the long-awaited poolside locker/shower room will be open.
I have had 3 August trips-
early August 2008, during Tropical Storm Faye. I'm still drying out from that one.
mid-August 2014- hot, not much rain
late August 2015- threats of a tropical storm (Irene?) that kind of fizzled out, some rain.
Specific to the chocolate croissant issue:
1) They have them at the Marketplace, although I haven't compared the quality of the product from the two locations
2) Read up on the Beach Club "Secret" Entrance/exit (end of Post 8)- those few air-conditioned steps can really make a difference
3) Once, the bakery in France refused to give my husband a crème brulee when he told them he was going to bring it back to the Beach Club to eat because it was too hot.
