just back from Beach Club

we stayed 8 days at the BC. make sure your near the elevators if you do not want to walk after walking all day. only get the mugs for that reason. places to get refills are very far away if you do not feel like walking after a day at the parks. the entire time we were there we used fast pass once. April 30-May 8. 0-5 minute wait parks. US and IOA were a waste of time for my family. We thought it was way overrated. kids thought it was very "lame". 15, 13 and 11. We did all of the main attractions at those parks: hulk, spiderman, jaws, water rides, twister (that was neat) if you really like the disney theme and cleanliness stick to disney. any questions on BC? Concierge level would be the best way to visit this hotel.

Hey Pumba - when we stayed at the Swan this past June, the bus stopped at Swan first, then Dolphin, then Yacht & Beach Club and also at the Boardwalk. Some days, we just made one stop, it depended on how many people were on the bus.

Hi! Staying at BC concierge the end of August.Did you stay on that floor. Any room suggastions? I supposedly have a warweview and would like a full balcony. I'll be with husband and 3 boys,13,11,7. Thanks for the info on universal. We'll probably go 1 day but I think it might be a waste for us too. we don't do big roller coasters,which park would you suggest for 1 day? Thanks

concierge level wasn't available to us with the package we were there on, i am just suggesting it because of the lack of easy accessibility to snacks during the day and evening. we really liked the 2 water rides at IOA. you really do get soaked. jurassic park was fun too, but my 15 year old wasn't able to ride the twin seated Pteranodon flyers because he was too tall. he was aggravated by that. he's 6'1". my kids were really disappointed by the rollercoasters there. liked rockin rollercoaster at mgm much better. jaws was really a disappointment. we could not wait to go there for that. even back to the future wasn't that great. disney does a much better job with 3D. Kongfrontation was something else they were really looking forward to and that was pretty lame as well.

Beach Club is on our list of resorts to try. I can't wait. Thanks for the advice.

We were just at Disney for 10 days with 7 people, 6 adults and one 4 year old. We were very busy with MGM, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Sea World. WE were able to go back tgo MK and Epcot for our favorites and ones we missed.
