Arrived early last Friday morning. 1 person ahead of us at ME counter and then walked directly onto the bus with no wait. Stopped at CBR, BI, then YC. AT YC in a little over an hour. Would have been faster, but 3 families at CBR had to drag all of their luggage with them - took over 20 minutes at CBR to unload everyone and everything. Our luggage arrived in the room in a little over an hour from when we checked in. The system works well and we have never had problems on any of our stays.

Room was ready and we were in the room by 11:15. Had booked a standard view and only request was to be on the lakeside of buildings and not overlooking the front - don't believe in bothering with long lists of specific requests. We faced the little pond and woods looking towards the Dolphin with a side view of the lake and boardwalk.

Room was spotless and was serviced well throughout the stay. We were back at the hotel for a swim between 11 and 12 every day and the room was always already made up. We have never had housekeeping issues anywhere at Disney.

As always, all CMs at YC and parks were wonderful. Can never understand these reports of rude CMs. I am always amazed at how pleasant and patient they remain while listening to rude, ranting idiots. I cannot believe the way some guests speak to them.

Parks a bit crowded Fri and Sat, then light crowds with minimal wait times. Took advantage of EMH every day.

Won 3 dreams this trip!! Dream passes at MK and AK and also YOMD lanyards and pins at AK.

Weather was great - one overcast day with light mist and it did rain Tuesday night at the MVMCP, but we still had a ball at it. Othwise mid 80s and we enjoyed SAB every day. Quiet pool was reported to be closed for refurbishing but was not.

We love the YC/BC resorts the best. Location can't be beat, and we prefer them to the MK resorts.

Bus service was great. Never waited more than 10 minutes to/from parks. YC/BC only to/from MK. Shared with BW/Swan/Dolphin to/from AK. Only long wait was returning from DTD. I always find DTD to be the one place where the system breaks down. Bus stop area is way too small and congested and always long waits.

Ate at Beaches and Cream a couple of days for lunch and also breakfast at YC Galley.

Pick up for return to MCO at 4 for a 7PM flight. Then stopped at BC and BI. Arrived at airport at 5:05.

Another great trip!!
 
Glad you had a wondeful trip! I love the YC! We will possibly be returning there next summer. I hope so!

Thanks for the post, going to yc friday 12/7 for the first time! Enjoyed your positive report, thanks for the info.
 
You will love it, it is a great resort. We always walked to Epcot, it is so short a walk. Some are put off going in the back entry, but the walk from the back to the cente rof Future World is no lnger than the walk form the bus stops out front. On EMH mornig we were at the Land before those coming in the front gates. If you watch Illuminations from UK or Canada, you are out of the park in 5 minutes without fighting the crowds to the front gates. We often walk to MGM also. Path is a pleasant walk and takes about 15 minutes - same as the boat ride takes.
 

The BC/YC looks great. I took a walk through it during a break from the parks. We'll have to consider it next time. :)
 
I love walking out the back entrance after Illuminations!

We were at the Yacht Club also last week and had a great time. It's our favorite resort, and it didn't disappoint again.
 
We'll be there again on Jan 2. Are they still doing the evening beach activities for the kids? I had read that there were movies and marshmallow roastiing on the beach at night.
 
glad you had a great trip!! my fam always stays at WL, but I'm going down in the spring to work at WDW for the college program and my fam is coming down in Feb. My dad says right now we're staying at POP (even tho I'll have 50% off) but thats not set in stone so I'm praying he changes his mind and says we can stay at BC or YC...when else will we get to stay there for 1/2 off..I mean really!!!!

YC is great at regular (AP or code) price, it's super wonderful at 50% off! Good luck with your college program!
 
We came home last night from 9 nights at the YC.......had a great view of the rose garden. We also had rain at the MVMCP Tuesday but had a great time, had dinner at Narcossee's before heading over to the MK.

We did see Cars on the beach Thursday night which was alot of fun, good down time and so pretty outside.
Buses were terrific, we even commented that they were running more often or we had some really good timing.
 
Ya I'm hoping he changes his mind. I will live in an apt but when they come I'm allowed to stay with them as long as I get transportation to work which I'll have my car so I can do that. We have a dinner planned at Yachtsman so I'm hoping I'll be able to call the resort home too!!!!

Just noticed your counter, we'll be at the YC then! OMG, you're parents are close to our ages!

They were last week when we were there. Although it didn't seem overly crowded, there were a decent amount of people watching each night.
 
Thanks for the positive reports! We'll be there on Wednesday, my bday:cool1:
First time to stay on property...staying at the Yachtclub!!!!
Hope we get a wonderful room!!
 
Sounds like you had a great time. We love the Yacht Club :goodvibes

One night we stayed at the pool till it was time for the marshmellow roasting and campfire. It was simple but one of our favorite nights as a family singing silly campfire songs and laughing. We still sing a few of the songs we learned that night.
 
I am glad to read that you had such a good trip. Its become so easy for people to complain, that its almost become the norm. We too always seem to have a great time and have never had a rude CM.

Congrats on winning all of those dream fast passes! We have been about 30 days this year and have won nada, zippo, zelch~!
 
I am glad you had a nice trip. We love the yacht club and will be there in a little over 7 days!!!! The movies on the beach sound like fun. We will have to check it out one night.
