My first trip to WDW was in 1996 with my sister. Because I had been reading through many home plan book and many of the homes were Cape Cod / New England style (which was not one of my favorites) I had no interest on visiting the Yacht and Beach Club. We went to all of the resorts to check them out during the week, including the Swan and Dolphin, but I didn't care if I saw the Y & B Clubs. On Thursday we had extra time so drove over to the Beach club and parked and walked up toward the front. Got the photo below. Went inside. Sisterliked the BC better than the GF. Went out through the back and saw the Boardwalk across the lake (would open in 2 months) and walked over to the Yacht Club. We loved it all and I stayed at the Yacht Club in 1997.

That's the funny thing--it seems to happen a lot. I didn't think I would enjoy the AKL based on pictures I had seen online and its overall theme, but I stayed there once and fell in love with it! I find the pictures often don't do the resorts justice.

1998 we had a room on the 6th floor at the WL. It was a dormer room, third from the end of the east wing. This was our view.

What a great shot of the gingerbread house - I can't believe that it's made of edible things.....

My bad. The YC pics are in the standard camera, neediing to be scanned in & the BC are in the new digital camera which goes directly to my comp.

OH YES! It was 1/2 @ AKL & 1/2 @ YC.

You would think Lady and the Tramp and Mowgli and Baloo would be at the All Star Movies but sure enough they are at the POP.
