Just want to say that our trip starts ONE MONTH FROM TODAY!




Yes, yes, it starts at Poly, but that foolishness is only for 3 nights, then back to YC!

We stayed at the Poly last summer and loved it so much. So beautiful and relaxing. The location on the monorail was great. We wanted to return to the BC this summer but I really really would not complain if I was somehow forced back to the Poly

Trader Sam's > Hurricane Hannah's

4 weeks today we will be at the Premier Inn at Manchester International Airport. Squeeee

My sig/ticker says one month, and that's when we check in to the BC, but we go to try my brother's favorite OKW on the 12th.

I'm not sure I get the appeal...lol

Oh yes. DP and I have been deliriously happy with everything at BC/YC in our multiple stays, including all of the dining experiences.....except HH. It was the only time at BC/YC we looked at each other after, and both said, "Never again."

Does anyone know if the YC CL gives your the upgraded h20 products (BWI does), or the regular grapefruit ones?

Okay, first of all - That Perry the Platypus bus is AWESOME!!

Secondly, just received my Anthology Beach Club candle in today's mail and WOW!! it really does smell like the BC!!!

@KandD, we were at BC earlier this month and took our first Uber ride to Blizzard Beach. It was only $10 for four of us and an easy ride. We took the busses back and didn't mind the longer trip.

As Dee mentions, it was money well spent!

Finally packed and sitting down for a minute! One more sleep until the Yacht Club! I'll post my first timers observations Monday or Tuesday. Super Excited!!!

In February we had the regular grapefruit ones.

I'm getting excited, guys! In 27 days I will be checking into the Beach Club for the first time!

Checking in next Sat for a SV CL at BC. Do all the SV CL rooms have full balconies?? I noticed it for the online check-in but didn't know if that applied to CL or not? If anyone knows, thank you in advance! I plan on adding that as a request for online check in and sent to IPO an email as well.
Thanks!!

Not sure if YC changed over but last July when we stayed BC/CL, we got the upgraded H2O, the same as they give at GF..the green sea salt shampoo…the same product that they give you on the Disney Cruise. Hoping they still have it when we check in next Saturday! That line of product is my favorite!!!

Hi! Also answered on the CL thread. Good question! Make it a choice for online check-in if this is a priority as all of the BC CL Standard View rooms do not have a full balcony.

Have a wonderful time!

I'm staying the YC CL right now and all we have is the regular grapefruit stuff (hate the smell!).

Disney may be trying to clear out their supply of H2O. The H2O company has changed their formulas to remove phthlates, parabens, and mineral oils that are in the current products at WDW and DCL. They have done away with the grapefruit.... you can still buy it in the gift shops and disney store. I spoke to someone at the H20 HQ and they are not sure if contract will be renewed. I bought some of the new sea salt from their website and it still smells great. The shampoo and conditioner does not smell as strong.

Thank you! We will be there March 31-April 5! I wish it was for longer, but we are then headed to Universal for a few days as the kids love the thrill rides there and LOVE Harry Potter.

Thanks for the dates!

My family loves Universal as well- a split w/ Disney & US/IoA is perfect. Where are you staying?

I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.

Have a fantastic trip!

Most, but not all BC CL SV rooms have full balconies. According to my notes (pre-renovation, a room or two may be missing now), 33 of 38 rooms in that category had full balconies.

Thanks for that insight!

I wonder if you could ask housekeeping if they have something different.

4 weeks for us before we check into GF! But 2.5 weeks until Ft Lauderdale!!
Last year we stayed at Poly and had a great room in Samoa, 3rd floor facing volcano pool. Wonderful location and view.
I'll be visiting for my Tonga Toast breakfast at Cooks and for the Shave Ice!! Yum. Maybe I'll see you there!
