Just back, heads up BC bus stop being renovated and is moved!

[Jillpie]

This worked out great for us, the new bus stop has been moved right outside of the Beach Club Villas, so it was less than a 3 minute walk. So if you are going to the Beach Club in the next 6 weeks, you need to walk either thru the villas lobby and out to the sidewAlk to the temporary bus stop, or follow the sidewalk from the BC over to the BCV parking lot. It's all clearly marked where to go.

Thanks, Jillpie - I hope you had a great trip!

We will be there soon and I'm just curious:

• Is the temporary stop in the traffic circle at the front of BC, but closest to the BCV side?
• Are they routing the buses through the traffic circle at the main entrance?
• Are they using one stop instead of 3 like the original bus area had?
• Did you find it congested in that area or is the flow good?

Having the stop closer will be nice this trip - we won't have to make a mad dash over the bridge to see if the bus that we see in the distance is the one we need .

we were there yesterday and they took half the BCV parking lot away to do this. we were there to eat and was shocked to see this. It was noisey at the villa quiet pool with all of the foot traffic going through. I was glad we choose the bwv instead of the bcv this trip.

no, it is not in the traffic circle, it is all the way over to the side of the villas, picture walking out to the driveway from the villa pool, you take a right and there they are, very convenient. To the prev poster who said the villa pool was noisy from the walking traffic, for the one time I used that pool (always at SAB), I didn't find that at all. I found people very respectful and not loud at all. I think, in fact, it was the first time the BC folks had a good chance to check out the villas for the first time, as they were routed thru the lobby. Your other question about the bus stop, I believe it was three tented sections, with different signs for each park, very well marked. They did a very nice job for a temporary situation I thought and yes, the flow was good, it went very smoothly.

Thank you for the clarification. We don't rent a car, so I've never paid attention to that parking lot. This makes more sense to me now - I was imagining all that bus traffic through the circle!
