Question about parking at Beach Club

[crickee]

My DH & I are staying at the BCVs later this month. Our niece is staying at Coronado Springs. I know that there is restrictions on parking but will she be able to pick us up & drop us off in her car while we're there?

They can be strict about letting non-guests in without a dining reservation, especially during Epcot special events. You might have to walk out to the guardhouse if you're being picked up.

Our experience earlier this year at BC and YC is they thought they were guarding Ft Knox. The Poly could have cared less.

Others say they just give the name and room number without issue.

She can definitely do drop-offs, you'll be in the car and will have your MagicBands, after all. She can also do pick ups, but will need to show ID. Uber and Lyft operate just fine at BCV.

She can probably even park at BCV if she gives your name and room number and says she's visiting you.

I'd suggest asking either when you check-in or with the bell stand, I'm sure there are ways they can work with you.

If it's just the two of you at BCV, consider adding at least one of them to your reservation. (Use an initial or different spelling to avoid interfering with their CS reservation). Then they can get a BCV key card to open the BC parking gate as they will be registered guests of BCV.

Takes a little bit of trust, but they are your niece & nephew.

Thanks for the ideas. I was considering adding 1 to our res. We have a 1 bedroom & even offered them the livingroom murphy bed but they booked into the Grand Destino tower.

Don't want anyone to get upset so want you to know I decided against adding them to our reservation. I'll ask ask at the front desk when we check in how to handle pick ups.

I’d add them, you have a 1 br. booked, lots of room for them, & they’d have access to EMH at Epcot too .

All WDW resorts have access to Extra Magic Hours. I think you meant Extended Evening Hours, which is for the WDW Deluxe and DVC Resorts.

How many people are in your niece's party? If it's 3 or less I'd add them to your 1 bedroom reservation anyway so they have easier access to the parking area, access to Extended Evening Hours, and Storm-a-long Bay privileges.

It really is no trouble, the front desk will just give you card keys for each additional guest.

As long as they have ID, your name and room number, there will be no problems getting in to visit or pick up. My sister visits us at BCV all the time during F&W. She tells the guard she is picking us up. Yes, the guard will check to see if you are registered in that room #, then lift the gate for them to drive in. The only problem my sister ever had was finding a parking space close to the walkway.
