Resort Thread Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB Resorts

[Ninja Mom]

Ooooh, NM...you just outed yourself!

I think we all know who the troublemaker is on these trips. "D" looks innocent but she can always be counted on to short sheet a bed with very little persuasion.

The Canadian likes to come off as prim and proper but I'm going to see how far she gets when she is drinking around the world. She thinks drinking around the world means going from Canada to England. I'll be introducing her to the other 9 countries on this trip and see how she makes out.

"Inter~Net" is a tough nut to crack and my biggest challenge. She has the reputation of being the sensible one but her weakness is wine. She doesn't go for the cheap stuff so I'm going to have to decant the box wine from the warehouse club and fill up a couple of my empty Chateau Marmoset bottles. https://www.adforum.com/creative-work/ad/player/33282/chateau-marmoset/energizer

We'll she how she makes out after a pre-load session straight out of the Jersey Shore handbook.

These posts made my morning!!! I would love to meet your friend "D" and share a cup of coffee with her but I suspect that would not end well.

Regarding yc fridge size. Someone posted a pretty impressive picture of one packed to within inches of its life. If I haven't added it to post 13!or 14 I will when I get home this afternoon

just changed our ressie from BWV to YC because of SAB. I didn't even know that the resort had been renovated. We're going 9/3 to 9/7. Yayyyyy

@Ninja Mom - Always an entertaining read!

Just curious- I know they tried it at Pop, & now I've been reading the posts about the test at POFQ and skipping housekeeping to receive a gift card. Has anyone heard of this happening at any of the deluxe resorts? Do you think it would happen ?

I truly hope not

Sorry, I know this has been answered but can't find it. We are staying in the YC in 11 days. My kids are big milk drinkers. Does a gallon of milk fit in the new refrig at the YC? We are probably going to also need a half gallon of whole milk for coffee. Would this fit as well? Thanks for any help.

Can anyone tell me what the logistics of the bus construction look like? I was reading they would shuttle you from the bus stop to the temporary bus stop, but I'm traveling with someone in a wheelchair and that seems like a deal breaker for me.

I believe you have access to old news. Both the YC and BC bus stops are operating in their regular spots with no construction issues. There is construction at the YC with the convention center expansion, but that does not impact the resort bus stops. Your reference to the shuttle sounds like what was in place when the BC bus stop was being renovated. That was complete a while back.

Oh ok thank you! Great news! Traveling at the end of October into November.

Oh, you'd like her. The two of you have a lot in common. In fact you have everything in common... so much so that you could be twins or perhaps even the same person. The only difference that I can think of is that you spell your name differently. Your name has more letters.

"D"'s screen name is BenNateMom so that's how I know for sure you are two entirely different people (in my head). That and your cheeks are a little chubbier (the ones on the BOTTOM).

You guys are a hoot...I wish you were at BC this trip since it seems our dates might overlap and I'd finally maybe be able to run into you...or at least see the famous swim team!

6 days... and my friends ask if I got them Fastpasses too. Why of COURSE. LOL. I've planned every FP and ADR for all five families, and done Touring Plans for everyone too. A group of friends surprised me with a cake and gift the other night, the gift being wine, chocolate and a white tank top with a "Fabulous 50 at Disney" decal on it with which to embarrass friends and family alike. I loved it, and will make sure to have a solo PP pic with it on in front of the castle.

Great place to spend a birthday. That was a lot of planning for everyone. Hope you like doing that. Normally I do but this trip, I had to keep having to have a word with myself to get moving on just planning for my own family.

I will be there in Oct..is there much construction happening now which could affect our stay?

 

[MommaBerd]

Excited for you @Feckless!!!

15 days to go! And I keep wanting to change my plans around. But the hard to get FP are set so... I'll just go with it Debating cancelling my Beaches and Cream lunch reservation, we really just want to have sundaes for lunch and I think we can get those at the take away counter. I'll wait and see I guess!

If it's just ice cream you want you should be able to get that at the walk up window.

Double check on the My Disney Experience App, it should show you what you can get at the to go window as well as the sit down menu. If you aren't going to use the reservation make sure to cancel at least the day before to avoid the penalty.
