Ah two updates at once, it's a good day! I can't get over how beautiful Beach Club is! All your pictures are so nice. I love the feeling of walking into a Disney hotel room for the first time on a trip and having the "IM FINALLY HOMEEE" feeling For me, I love taking the to just relax and look through the room so I don't miss a single detail!
Can't wait to hear about Epcot!

I am loving your trip report! We were at WDW the same time as you were, from the 11th - 20th. We make sure to visit the Beach Club everytime we go, usually to eat at Cape May Cafe. We were so bummed that they were not open this year. Can't wait to read about more of your adventures.

Okay so I've been seriously meaning to start reading your TRs because I definitely remember reading part of one before and really enjoying it (pretty sure the Stuck on Splash attracted me, since we got stuck last trip for 50 minutes before being evacuated )... Anyway, I'm here and plan on catching up so I can continue to follow along.

 

[danimaroo]

Okay, true story, I just caught up! And oh my gosh, I'm already loving this TR! I mean, you stayed at my absolute favorite resort, my home away from home... BEACH CLUB! We stayed there for the first time this past January, at the Beach Club Villas and oh my gosh... we are in love. We're staying there again this upcoming January, and I couldn't be happier. The smell (I love how you described it; and um, we may have considered actually purchasing the BC scent for our house, but it costs like $200 ), the decor, the themeing, the closeness to the parks.. I could go on. But you totally get it! My husband Matt's parents are DVC members, so we've been blessed to use their points when we've gone every time, but we're hoping to one day be DVC members ourselves... I know where I'll be looking to buy points!

Anyway, can't wait to see what you guys are up to in Epcot! We do Epcot first, as well, since it's so close! Though I have to admit, it feels a little weird to be there first over MK for us, haha.

Can't wait to read more and I'm so glad I finally came over and caught up/read your TR! We have a lot in common; I am endorsed to teach English/was an English major and planned on becoming a teacher... though I'm not doing that now, I still have major props for anyone I know who is an English teacher!

Hi Joni!

You won't believe this but I just read all of your TRs in a row! OK so I started on Monday and today is Thursday but I had the time so when you told me to look in your signature I just decided to give it a shot! I know others say this but this was my first time and it was like reading a book, I had to find out what happened next! I am gonna do this again with someone else...I don't know whom yet....

...Anyway...

I loved all of your TRs. Your dh reminds me of my dh tattooed and tough on the outside and all gooey, marshmellow on the inside!

I also cry very easily and I can totally relate!

I noticed that you never seem to do Muppet 3D at HS. Is there a reason?

Thanks for all the enjoyable reading! I can't wait for more!

Oh, the Beach Club is beautiful! Drat, now I have to add another resort to my list of 'must tries'!

 

[wen-tom]

eek eek EEEEEK beach club looks amazing and I am so excited to be staying there for 3 nights very soon!

I love the walk from BCV to Epcot. It's so pretty. I don't know why anyone would use the friendship boat. maybe they just dont realise how close it is

 

[theEncode]

YAY to your great start at BC...I honestly don't know how you get all that done so fast, my husband is a doddler so he takes FOREVER to do anything! YAY for Epcot! Is it bad that I am excited to hear where you eat? LOL

 

[stimmons]

Yay for double update!

These updates make me kinda bummed that we are staying at BLT this trip. I want some BC!!!! I've always wanted to swim in that pool! Plus I would be at the WS constantly eating.

 

[SoNotAPrincess]

I'm loving your Beach Club photos...it really is a little piece of Heaven on earth!! The International Gateway entrance is the coolest...I would totally be spoiled and hate to enter Epcot any other way!

 

[monica23535]

Ahh The Beach Club! Gorgeous pictures Joni! Can't wait to stay there again 8 weeks!!

Don't you just love how quick the walk is to Epcot?

 

[Cinderella16]

I didn't realize how fast the walk to Epcot was from the Beach Club! I thought the walk from Bay Lake Tower to MK was quick at 7 minutes...3 minutes is amazing!!

Loving all the Beach Club pictures...I hope you made it to Stormalong Bay because I want to hear all about it!

Can't to hear about Epcot!

 

[Reberella]

EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I love the Beach Club!!! The pictures make me want to be back there SO bad! I stayed at Beach Club Villas and LOVED LOVED LOVED it!! The walk to Epcot is so great, everything is just so perfect!

 

[GrimGrinningStitch]

I'm joining in! All your pictures of Beach Club are making me want to go back ASAP! And seriously, I wish I could just live with that Beach Club smell all the time.

Can't wait to read more!

Ahhhh I just watched "Meet the Robinson's" so I thoroughly enjoyed you throwing "Keep Moving Forward" in. I love that movie so much. I'll get through the movie part and be so moved and then they hit me with the Walt quote that just makes it even more amazing and I'm just an emotional mess. (P.S. I can't even remember if it was this tr or one of your past ones. But you mentioned possibly crying more over happy things than sad things. I AM THE EXACT SAME WAY!! It's just so ridiculous. And I hope that was you who said that or I'm going to sound REALLY ridiculous.)

OH MY GOODNESS...I can't even imagine how nice it would be to WALK to a park from a resort. That sounds so crazy nice not having to wait for buses or deal with parking/trams and just BE THERE in a few short minutes. Bliss.

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

I'm officially jealous. Mmmhmmm. That resort, that pool, that beach, that walk to that favorite park of mine...jealous.

Your husband and my kids should get together and complain about not being able to swim in the scum. Sheesh! Yuck and wow.

 

[emma212010]

Gosh I love the Beach Club! I want those chairs in my future house!!! And you really just can't beat the location! So close to Epcot and DHS! Heaven!! Yay for your first park!

 

[Nermel9]

Great update! I love all of your Beach Club pics, I love that resort so much! I wish there was a way I could stay there in November, looking at your pictures is making me miss it so much!

Isn't walking to Epcot the best?

 

[CiCiBee]

So excited to see another TR from you. I read you others and loved them. My fiancé and I also live in North Carolina, must not be too far from you since you were talking about The WS Dash in one. Looking forward to more posts!

 

[DisneyGator13]

Ooh I love me some Beach Boys and Otis Redding, nice choices!

Such great pictures of the Beach Club! I've never stayed there but I've stayed at Boardwalk quite a few times and mosied on over to that beach.

The walk to EPCOT is the best but be careful- you'll get spoiled and want to stay that close every time!
