You can always request a daybed and a full balcony, they look at request and will give it if not to many have 5 people in the party. Which of coarse happens a lot, say they have 25% have 5 in there party, of course they get the daybed, but 70% of rooms have daybeds, someone has to get them, so request it then all of you will have a bed and the daybeds are comfy, but be prepared to not have one just so you are not disappointed. Can't help with the full balcony, when we stayed we were in a deluxe room so we had a huge huge balcony, but we hated the hotel so much they moved us to the contemporary and we got what I think is the biggest room on Disney property, it was like 5 bays together, it was huge, it had 3 bathrooms. Anyway, the beach club is nice it just is not for us, we have a disability that makes it impossible, the only resort we have had problems with and will never return.
