I can not believe you have never been in Fittings and Fairings.... I love this store. So quite but whatever type of clothing you need they have. DH on one trip forgot a decent shirt and we got one there. I forgot a swimsuit once and thye have multiple selections....
Anyway Dee...I have been working a ton of extra review classes, and tutoring in preparations for exams... so we are doing one last trip to WDW for a while & we are not renewing our AP's
So we are staying at the BC 6/29-7/5. Our AP's expire on the 7/4! Likely we are staying SV but we may swing CL but it is so expensive for the 2 of us! Just happy for one last trip for at least 18 months....
back, my friend.Thank you for the welcome!We'll be at the Beach Club from September 13th -21st. Thanks in advance for adding us to the Be Our Guest list!
I haven't been on the boards in awhile. (I'm still trying to get used to the new format.) I'm really looking forward to getting back into some serious planning.
Thanks for the info on the refurb. I'll be sure to keep checking out the first page for updates.

Thank you! Sorry I just became "that person." I swear I read the first page, a few times, but there's so much info and I wasn't focusing on " beverages" until now
:Just popping in to wish you a happy trip and safe travels Dee! Have fun
Safe travels and have a wonderful trip!
I hope you have a great trip, Dee.
Thanks for all of the good wishes everyone!!!
I think I have a post in "Other Useful Information" about suggested products that smell like the beach club. You are even quoted in it!
What is that awesome smell at the Beach Club?
The scent generator may be purchased at Enviroscent/ www.scentairhome.com
The scent used is green clover and aloe
note: some recent reports indicate that the companies have not been accomodating to non-business customers. The unit is quite expensive (around $300 plus cost of cartridges)
Redneck scent solutions- if you can't afford the scentair system, there are reports that certain fragrances at Bath & Body Works and Yankee Candle are good matches. Unfortunately, some of these lines have been discontinued:
BBW: Rainkissed Leaves,
Yankee Candle: Exotic Rainforest, Oceanside Retreat, Cotton Blossom
This a blog entry from Disney dining website mentioning a place to order a Yacht & Beach Club lobby-scented candle Top Ten Disney Smells
"As much as I love the smell of the Polynesian, the scent in the Yacht & Beach Club lobby is my absolute favorite. It is mellow and relaxing, and Ive even found a source to have it at home: https://www.etsy.com/listing/178305193/yacht-and-beach-club-8oz-soy-candle?ref=listing-6 This one is hard for me to describe too, so in the words of the candlemaker: Fresh green notes accented with white jasmine, blond woods and musk. And the candle is spot on with the scent of the lobby."
- be on the lookout, but Erika says this item has been discontinued. Here is the website to order directly from Method: Method but again, this item was listed as "Out of Stock" recently.
Please let us know if you have found other good substitutions.
I am going to update the Be Our Guest list and then I am going off duty until Saturday.
I'll try to pop in once and awhile if I have a break, but if this trip is anything like the last one, I am pretty much on the go from 4:30 am to after midnight.
I fell asleep reading my phone last time.
Thanks for all of the good wishes everyone!!!

Rats!! 
(Welsh Dragons are at Rose and Crown, they used to come in a Souvenir cup for a bit more $ its just orange juice, pineapple juice, peach schnapps, melon liquor, and the weird color comes from a bit of creame de menthe - that I cannot taste!) 
you can get it without the $cup... Must bring a mug to smuggle it back to the beach club! 
Thursday is our last park day. My group will be starting at Animal Kingdom in the morning, hopping over to HS around lunchtime (FP for ToT, RnR, Star Tours), resort break at ASMo and then we plan to hit MK until 1 am.
Hope to see you around!
I don't know if this will make enough difference for you or not but here's something to consider... Before we started staying CL (years ago), we did the DDP. Then we discovered the signature restaurants and upped it to deluxe DDP. However, with CL, you no longer need all those appetizers, snacks, desserts, soda, or even wine/beer. In fact, it's so much food, sometimes you barely even want dinner! In fact, the biggest mistake we ever made was having the deluxe DDP with CL. I thought we were going to explode - lol! As many have said before, CL doesn't work for everyone....like if you want a full breakfast every morning, etc. But for us, it's great because DH and I have a place to hang out while the DDs are sleeping. And I think we usually end up spending about $150 on average for the signatures (Chef Mickey's and GG will cost you more than that and they're not signatures). DD11 was allowed to order from the kids menu at both Cali Grill and Narcoossee's last week...although I don't know how long that will last. You can't forget to include a food budget in the cost if you don't have DDP, but you might see if that would get it closer to the same as a regular room with deluxe DDP. I think it might. By the way, the room we stayed in last year is now in the CL lounge. Funny that it was my favorite spot to hang out inWith all of you talking about that incredible coffee machine, and the other bennies of the Club Level, I tried re-pricing out trip this fall to see if it was close to what we are already booked for.
Currently, we have a GV at BC, and Deluxe Dining (mainly so we can do several of the Signature Restaurants that we've never done before!). I figured that between the F&W Festival, and the Club "snacks," we could squeak by without missing all those TS meals.
Unfortunately, even with scaling back our Dining Plan to the regular DDP, upgrading to the Club Level would be an additional $800, even for the SV....
Wish it were possible, but I just don't think it's in the cards for us...even if the "Fall Discounts" come through....
Someday we'll do that!!!
