Resort Thread Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB Resorts

[vyrg]

Yacht Club? Beach Club? If Beach Club Villas, what type of room?

I always assume that the USB ports will not work. I keep a power strip in my Owner's Locker, and I travel with the power adapter (which I think of as "the power brick thingy" because in my mind an "adapter" is what you take when you are traveling to Europe).

If the USB ports do work, I assume they will be the older type USB-A not the newer USB-C.

If you have people who want to plug in their phones at night and have the phones next to their beds, you also need to know the locations of the USB ports. If you want to plug in your phone next to your bed but the USB port is across the room above the dresser, that's not going to be helpful.

I'm sure someone who is there now can report back for you if you specify which hotel.

Yacht Club Sorry I didn't specify.

Yacht Club Sorry I didn't specify.

According to Demi @magical hijinx on YT, there are 21 regular outlets and 12 USB. Plenty for your family!!

Plenty for your family!!

There are never enough for all the charging needed in 2025. @vyrg make sure you bring enough cables and wall transformers / chargers with you.

Thank you

Is it USB C ou USB 2 ?

Thank you

They are regular USB 2 ports. Make sure you bring some of your own adapters. I've had some of the USB ports that didn't work in the rooms.

Back from a 4 night stay at BC. It was a nice stay. I split with Pop so BC was definitely a relaxing, upgraded feel after Pop. Have stayed here before but first time post-refurb. I still feel BC got short changed in the refurb (no rainshower, no pocket bathroom doors) but I think BC's came out better than BWI's as the room still had a desk and a mini-rolling desk under it. The artwork is adorable!

I put room requests in via Touring Plans, requested no connecting door and full balcony. Got both! Room was ready when I arrived around 9am. Thanks to folks here I did go ahead and use the free waterpark benefit for TL since it wasn't a weekend. Much better. No waterparks on weekends lol. Housekeeping got my room everyday even though I was coming back around 1pm, I was impressed!

A couple maintenance issues, but I think it was more bad luck than BC's fault. Hot water went out my first day, I told the front desk and on my way back maintenance was already visiting another room who had complained about it. Hot water was working an hour later. A couple days into my stay my exhaust fan malfunctioned, front desk was slammed so instead I called the central line, about 90 mins later maintenance had finished replacing it. No complaints there, I feel they did their best.

Pool Bar, Ale and Compass and Crew's Cup Lounge were all good. I dined at the hotel more often than normal as evening storms popped up. Ale & Compass impressed me, I hadn't been for a couple years and I think they have upped their dinner game with the revamped menu. Braised flank steak was delish! Pair with the Oberon Cab (the current 2022 year they are serving is my fav so far). Pool bar is still solid, CMs there are great.

The quiet pool was clutch! Relaxed a couple days on a full size floaty someone had graciously left behind and floating around a practically private pool at Disney is a memory I will cherish. The chairs still SUCK. Idk if they replaced the SAB ones but the quiet pool ones were saggy so that stupid bar just jams into your back when you try to lean back. That's the only true downside to this resort, how can you have a relaxing pool day when you are leaning on a straight bar across your back? I did not try the SAB ones so don't know if they got replaced with new ones. They are still the same type they used to be.

I talked to the front desk about my arrival day issues detailed earlier on check-out. The front desk CM said he would talk to a manager, that the carts are never supposed to be left unattended. The lack of covered arrival/departure area was annoying but would not stop me from booking BC. I did not have any refurb work outside of my room during my stay so I can't speak to that aspect.

I will return in the future if deals and budgets work out. There is something so relaxing about an easy walk to Epcot and BC is just a chill vibe to me.

Hot off the presses, on scene report:

1. Slide NOT open as yet. Work still ongoing.
2. Cabanas NOT open yet. Cast member told me they still have supplies in there.
3. Construction in the front area has either not started or just not affected the lobby area yet, because entry is totally normal.

If you find out if they smoothed out the rivets inside the slide could you let us know.

I hope they did as well! Jay can probably tell you now if they did! still having lunch will go on soon. Hoping the line dies down a bit and the weather holds out

It's all that pent up demand. Maybe they should switch to a Virtual Queue

Or a lightening lane or premeir pass!

Amen. It would be a total betrayal if they didn't fix those uneven sections!!

 

[Captain UP]

We are off site today at Epic U but I’m wondering if the cabanas have reopened as well.

 

[TheDailyMoo]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news…and this is as first world of a problem as problems get but the straight chute portion has NOT been smoothed out…but honestly was so happy to be on it. In the Disney Gift Card thread I mentioned I lost a $500 gift card on our first day which made me extra grumpy to say the least but the slide opening almost made up for that…almost

Can’t understand why Disney would do all that work on SAB but not fix the inside of the slide. Very weird.
