[66Tink]

Staying at BCV for the first time in a few weeks and a big THANKS for starting this thread Turtle We are not DVC owners yet, but have been in contact with very nice people from the Timeshare Store about purchasing re-sale...hoping to purchase something within the next few months. Not even having stayed at BCV yet, but if money were no object that would be our first choice to purchase

I am so excited for you !! Please do let us all know what you think once you have had your first stay. In my trip report I told about my own purchase. We had been to DisneyWorld for 11 days on deluxe dining and we were staying at Port Orleans Riverside, but we ate at The Yachtsman Steak House, Cape May and Beaches and Cream. So when it came to making the purchase I did it over the phone, never having stayed at the property just based on reviews and the time we spent at the resturants !!
Our first trip was AMAZING and I can't wait for our next !!

Omg I am so excited will be at the BCV for 5 nights starting Mothers day.
No better place as far as we are concerned. However the AKL is awsome with savana view. But BCV still #1.

Woo hoo!! Just passed ROFR on a BCV resale. I'm one step closer to being a Beach Club Lover and an OWNER!!!!

BCV is our favorite Resort!
Who else feels that Beaches and Cream should be bigger?

Yes and no.

I definitely think it should be bigger when I'm waiting 45 minutes for a table, but once I'm inside I like the small, intimate feel.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in WDW and I'd hate to see it changed too much. Of course, we like to go there when we are staying at BCV, but we find it a great break from the crowds when we are touring Epcot during our non-BCV trips.

Got the closing documents for my BCV add on today... one step closer to being an owner... aka "Beach Bum"!

Congratulations! I'm still waiting on ROFR for my BCV contract, but I'm hopeful that I will hear soon!

As soon as we're financially ready to buy resale, it will be BCV's! DH and I are so in love with this resort that we have a hard time staying anywhere else. So far we've had good luck with the 7mo booking window.
I'm sure to come back to this thread time and again. Love the pics!!

 

[MARY-IN-OH]

Nice thread y'all have goin' here!

We're getting excited for our first stay at BCV. Would love to hear more from you about your experiences! (just dd and me, just after she graduates high school).

I saw on the map there is a salon/barber at BCV? Never knew that.

We arrive at BCV on Sun. June 13 for five nights

I passed ROFR on Tuesday and received closing documents yesterday! I"m so psyched.

We will likely be booking a studio at BCV next year. What kind of CS options are in that area?

Thanks!

 

[CruznLexi]

What are my chances to get a studio Jan2-6?

 

[wdwlver]

We're BCV owners too!!!!

Love it, cannot wait to go back........nothing like relaxing at SAB in the afternoon and walking into Epcot at night......

At the Beach Club itself, if you go to the gift shop, you'll find a counter service where you can buy various sandwiches at breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, as well as a small selection of groceries and snacks.

Outside, near the pool, there's Hurricane Hanna's, basically typical fast food offerings. Accross the lake, there's a pizza window but I don't know that it's considered a CS credit if you are on the dining plan.

Personally, because it's SO close to Epcot, if we're not going far that day, we go into Epcot and have a CS meal for lunch in the WS. *LOVE* Epcot and it's quite literally a 5 minute walk from the villas to there. Especially if you take the backway that doesn't pass through the BC lobby.

The boardwalk pizza window is not on the meal plan so you can't use CS credits there.

We do the same thing you do, we love walking over to Epcot and grabbing something there. Usually I'll grab something in Morocco for my wife and I and the kids will get something in one of the other countries.

LOVE Tangierine Cafe! THe first year I went, I was not a fan, but I had ordered some sort of chicken burger thing ( which imho was not moroccan or middle eastern at all ), but last time I had the wrap sampler, omg so good! And the Baklava...

Hey guys... had to join this group. We just got back from our very first stay at BCV and I am in What more can you ask for than SAB and the 5 min walk to the International Gateway?!?! My favorite thing to do was to stroll back from Epcot to our Villa at night. The music, the water, the breeze, the smells... I don't know if I ever want to stay anywhere else!

We will probably look for a resale contract in the next few months. Wish me luck!
