Hi, everybody!
I haven't posted on these boards in a while, but we just returned from WDW and I wanted to write a review of the YC, since this was our first stay there.
To sum it up, I think I can I say we loved it! Upon check-in, we were notified that we had been upgraded from a standard view room to a water view
-- We could see the Epcot fireworks perfectly from our own balcony! It was amazing!!
The room itself was very spacious (by Disney standards) and was very clean (mousekeeping did a great job for us on this trip). CMs were mostly very friendly and helpful, and the location is awesome. We found the resort itself to be very quiet, and it was a welcome break from the July heat and crowds in the parks.
While I would certainly stay at BC, I ended up being happy with the YC choice, since it seemed a lot quieter and was the first resort to be picked up and dropped off by the buses. We did not share buses with the BWI/S&D once the whole trip, which is something I was anticipating because that happened when we stayed at the Boardwalk in 2010.
The only minor issue was (as we knew going into it), the lack of great counter service selection. Plus the small counter service area in the BC was quite a walk from our room at the YC. As many have said in the past, this walk was very comparable to the food court walks at the moderates like CBR and POR. It did not seem much shorter (perhaps the same). Albeit much of the walk was inside.
Despite that minor issue, the YC was an excellent resort and definitely one of the best ones (imo) that we've stayed at so far!!

. We've stayed at the BC and loved the resort and location and I would like to try the YC, however, limited CS is a deal breaker for us, so the Epcot resorts are sort of put on hold for now.
Thanks so much for your post. I have been at BC, but this will be our first YC stay. Needless to say, I can't wait! 
We are staying in August. I am surprising the family with CL and thy won't know until we arrive 
Your report is reassuring that it was a great idea to pick YC! Now for the wait
