Resort Thread Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB Resorts

[GADisneyDad14]

Thanks @jemtx for the heads up! This is now posted on Disney’s reopening info page for BCV/YC. Little short notice there, eh Disney?

Starting in February 2021, the Stormalong Bay waterslide will be closed for refurbishment. During this time, Stormalong Bay and the other 3 pools at Disney’s Beach Club Resort and Disney’s Yacht Club Resort will remain open.

Before long, the Stormalong Bay waterslide will be back with its treasured 230-foot-long plunge that begins on the mast of a pirate shipwreck.

So anyone there now that can report if the slide is closed right now?

PS: I hope they do some work on the seams in the long tunnel part - those things HURT!

Wow, super short notice—yes. I wonder how far in advance they planned it or if something broke? I just need to know how long the closure is planned for. I would hate to reschedule another trip. I know it’s just a slide, but...

Geez, we moved from the Poly to avoid closures and now the slide here is closed. At least the rest of the pools are open.

Hope that 'soon' means open by April!

I just booked a garden view room at YC for May 17 - May 22. My husband and I have never stayed at YC before, so we’re excited to try this resort! What room requests should I make to try to get the best view?

 

[Dave006]

Well a great garden view at the YC would be to request a view of the wedding gazebo at the YC

Question about the TVs. It's been a while since I've stayed in a BC Villa. Are you able to put a fire stick in the back of the TV and use it while there? Trying to think about after parks closed activities we can do and would love to watch movies/shows with the fam.

Thanks! I’ll add that to my request.

Yes....Even in a BCV Villa. All TVs have HDMI ports.

We’re on ME on the way to the YC!
Assigned room 3001. Looks like quite a hike! LOL!

Enjoy your trip!

Not sure the hike can get any further at YC. But it has a great view! If I’m not mistaken that room is slightly larger/a nonstandard layout and has the balcony plus a second wall of windows.

You could call or stop by the Front desk and ask if anything else is available be for you make that walk to the end of the building.

But if you don't mind the stairs you are near the secrete exit at the YC. That is if you are OK with 3 flights of stairs with no elevator delays due to social distancing.

Our trip to Beach Club is still a long way off but I am obsessively planning. We have a standard room booked. Is it worth requesting a certain area or do all standard rooms have plusses and minuses? Kind of like the idea of the short walk to EPCOT and DHS. Not sure if the rooms on the outer edges have any walking advantage or if its just best to be as close to the lobby area as possible. We tend to prefer quiet over everything else. If any BC regulars have suggestions, they are greatly appreciated.

(Fingers crossed....we do get a little lucky catching upgrades. Last time we were at WL, we chatted up the person at check in. Turned out they grew up about 10 miles from where I did in Pittsburgh. She bumped us from a standard room to a Courtyard view room. )

we kept it and it’s huge! We have 3 boys, 17,10, and 8 so the extra room is nice!

Cool layout. Room looks cool. Is it a garden view? Is the hike really far? Enjoy your trip.
