Don't Post Here!!! New 2013 Beach & Yacht Club FAQ Started

[HBGdancermom]

Ok this is gonna sound silly but in a pinch it works as a decent "speaker" in a small space....bring a RED SOLO CUP! Drop the iPhone in with the speakers on the bottom. It amplifies the sound. No batteries needed and less to pack than an ihome!!
of course if there is a dock in the room... Use it!!

That is brilliant!!! Toby Keith would be proud!

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! We are at the airport waiting to board a plane! Hope to be at the YC early this afternoon and cannot wait!

Have a wonderful trip!!

Greetings from BC!

We made it! I had about one hour of sleep in the car, two cans of Cherry Pepsi and a 5 hour energy shot. No coffee for this gal! 19.5 hours sitting in a car and 4 tanks of gas got us here!

We checked in about an hour ago. The CL desks were both busy so we checked-in downstairs. No Magic Bands for us.....we received the gold cards. Every CM we've encountered has been bending over backwards for us.

Our room is facing the driveway and entrance...in fact our room I'd directly above the doors. Get this...we have a daybed AND a full balcony. We hit the jackpot!

We've already been down to the CL lounge and snacked on chips, cookies, pretzels and fruit. They brought me a Bud Light but I'm too darn tired to drink it. If it were a Sunken Treasure, it would be a different story! Now it's time for this tired mom to take a nap before heading down to SAB. We have dinner reservations at Cape May Cafe then plan on heading to Epcot to try the new Test Track. Woo hoo!

I'll post pictures when my brain is clear enough to figure out how to do it from my iPhone.

Hope y'all are having a magical day! I know I am!

Hi! We checked in to the YC svcl this morning... View is the front of the resort... Looking right not so pretty but left is trees ... Lounge is nice ... CM have been great! Spent the morning at Epcot and justice our way back in a monsoon! We hoped for some SAB time but closed due to the storm... Heading soon to mk and dinner at BOG...

Hoping to run into some of you in the next couple days... I lost my ycbc Diser pin last year bit have a lgmh in my bag!

Thanks for the quick responses. I only had to use up three candy crush lives and pop back on here to have my answer, LOL. You guys are great!

Happy to find out we could send the keys back to the room after getting the bracelets. It would be a drag to wear them on a land yard or whatever.

LOLOL. That is too funny. That sounds like me- playing Candy Crush then frequently checking back for updates & living through others on their vacations!

Well after some debate we are coming back to our home away from home the BC! We'll be there 9/3-9/8 so Dee can put us on the be our guest page when they're done with the vaca!

I've got it on the back up sheet and the Grand PoohBah will update upon her return!

Landed. Looking for portkey to dark side.

Have fun lady.

Now is this the Magical Express just arriving to the resort or is this the Magical DEPRESS snatching people up and dragging them back to the airport???

~NM

Arriving of course. Remember, this is our happy place!

To nannette, couchy, catho etc.....Thanks to you all for taking us along for the ride!

Now, just one more question ..........does BC have I-Phone "docks" with speakers in all of the rooms now? How about the other resorts ?
We can bring our "dock", if needed, but it would be easier if the rooms already had them !

Thanks,

You'd better specify whether or not you have an iPhone 5. As I understand it, the plug thingy on the iPhone 5 is different from the plug thingy on the iPhone 4S and earlier versions. So if the hotel room has an old iHome that works for the iPhone 4S and earlier versions, it won't work for an iPhone 5 (and vice versa).

When the 5 came out, there were lots of articles about what a pain this would be for hotels which had put iHomes in all their rooms.

I haven't checked, but I wonder if the iHome people have made one with both ports? DW has a 4S, DS and DD have older iTouch models, I have a 5... Our iHome has the old dock

Thanks, we all have the 4's, so we will need the older style "dock".
Can anyone confirm I-Docks in the rooms ...........and if its for a 4 or 5 ???

I know there are a few of you at BC right now who can check this !!!!

We just checked out today and the docks are for iPhone 4's. I have a 5 so I couldn't use it.

Dee,
Are you guys leaving from Logan?? I was there at 430am this morning taking my daughter to the airport..she got a job with Holland America and is flying to Seattle to meet the ship. We always go out of T. F. Green(PVD)but I was pleasantly shocked at the lack of traffic heading into Boston today..maybe because it's a weekend
Have a safe trip!!
Kerri

usually Logan but today southwest from Manchester. Great day but long. Got to bed at midnight. Up at 4. At parks from 11:30 until 7. Poured while we were in et then some heavy sprinkles but not at all bad weather

 

[natebenma]

Wow natebenma ........thats a long flight, lol

Enjoy your trip, and safe travels !

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone!

None of the meals served from the bar at HH are part of the dining plan. I asked a bartender.

Thank you so much for checking. Darn ... I just won't tell Jeanne about it until we are there sometime and not on the dining plan.

Wait, had an idea: Wonder if Tables in Wonderland is applicable there????

Yes it is! I use it there for the tuna and sunken treasure!

I read on another thread that ppl found in their MDE profile a listing for the magic band. Of course I been trying to check mine all day and the app is acting up (and the website it's self). I honestly have come to the concussion that MDE is useless.

Grrrrrrrr! it never works for me. I tried booking dinning with it, it never loads. Waiting for the next page to open is like watching paint dry!

Ok that's my rant for the day!

Super news. I just checked the website and it didn't list Hurricane Hannah's so I thought I was out of luck. I think I'll surprise Jeanne with it the last day we are there at the pool for lunch.

I found it but it is just a dummy placeholder for now

I actually like the latest app update a little
