"STORMIN THE BEACH" BCV Owners- and GROUPIES WELCOME HOME !!

[eangel12]

We have rented points and are staying at BCV for the first time. I plan to ask for an upper floor. I am confused as to how check-in works. When we pull in, are there bell hops to help with luggage and take us up to our room?? We have a one year old and lots of stuff...so it would be nice to have someone help us up to our room.

Yes, when you check-in there will be bell hops to help you to your room (if it is ready) otherwise they can store your stuff for you until it is ready.

You should pull up to the Beach Club resort and they will ask for your name and someone will help you....you check at in at the lobby of the resort, just as you would do if you were staying at the Beach Club part and not the villas.

Have a wonderful time.

I cannot believe I am so late to this thread! BCV has always been our fav resort We have not been able to get a room there for our last 4 or 5 trips, so I am sooooo thrilled to be going back home in September!!

This is our first time staying at BVC and I'm psyched

I'm at the point where I don't even care if the kids are happy with it being a surprise (they think we're going to BLT again). I don't see how they're not going to be happy with SAB and it being August and all!!

Yep - I can't wait.

This weekend I get to book next year's Food & Wine Trip!

We went last year for Food & Wine. My kids both had a fall break in October, it was so nice. Less crowds, less heat. This year the school district decided to change the school calendar and take away fall break, in order to have a more traditional calendar. So we are going in June - I am ready for the heat !!

The last weekend in October wasn't hot enough to suit us, we're going earlier next year.

Going to post my pictures that I took last year and never got around to sharing.

They updated the main lobby. There seemed to be a lot more of these chairs, which my family loved. The old ones were a orange fabric.

Movies on the beach:

Smores and campfire songs:

Thanks for the reminder! It looks like I'm going to be calling to book one vacation (BCV) during another vacation (HHI-Thanksgiving). If you already booked Bobbi, it looks like we'll be there at different times. Rats! We need to meet again.

On our last trip, I just loved lying on a couch in the Solarium reading a book and watching the world go by. I got this great idea that I wanted a room in our house to be a replica of the Solarium, so I took this picture of the plaid I wanted, and another picture of how the Solarium looked from the couch-

Sadly, I haven't found the plaid. Has anyone done this succesfully?

Does anyone know if the gift shop is carrying resort specific items? The last we heard they were getting Beach Club hats, shirts, key chains etc. the CM said this was due to so many guests asking for resort specific items.

I'm glad the orange chairs are gone from the lobby. They didn't last very long, did they?

I love the pictures!

Just received confirmation for a studio for Oct '12 for our first
Food and Wine experience and 25th Anniversary!

We just returned from our first stay at BCV, BWV is my home resort. I love the BW, but we all LOVED BC. Loved SAB, loved loved the dedicated 2 bdroom. I know that seems silly but my kids hate to be on the sleeper at BWV. The only thing that I prefer from BW is the proximity to DHS. While, I know you can walk we always seemed a bit tired to do so, and I felt like the boat took forever.
my husband missed the bakery lol. but overall I would say our fav resort. I didnt notice any resort specific merchandise in the Marketplace however.

How did I not know about this thread? Love BCV! Love it so much we just added on their last month. I was thrilled to finally be able to book a F&W trip there for Columbus Day weekend '12. I also managed to just snag a room for a solo trip in March. Woo Hoo!!! Really looking forward to seeing the chocolate carousel in person next month on our Christmas trip.

Thanks for all the beautiful pics!
