With the campfire - is that mainly for kids? Would a 30-something year old couple look a little strange taking part in the fun?
Hey Kelleigh! I dont think you would look out of place at all! Did you decide to stay here???
Thanks! I should probably have clarified that she is not renting points - we had to book a room directly thru Disney to get her in for August since the villas were all booked. I tried to rent a 1-bdrm from a DVC owner but no one could get her a room so we ended up downsizing to a room w/2 queen beds (studio?) but at least overlooking Stormalong Bay. Plus since I quoted her the price of renting a 1-bdrm I am paying the difference of what it would have cost using points vs paying rack room rates - ouch! but am happy to do it for her since it will be her first visit. I could have got a 1-bed at SSR using points but she was firm on staying at BC. I think I will try to rent points for BC in 2009.
It doesn't matter if you're renting points or booking with cash the studio will be in the villa section of Beach Club which is called the Beach Club Villas. They don't have any studios at the Beach Club Resort.
Thank you for your kind words, BCV23! I agree that the room with 2 queen beds will be in the Beach Club section, not the villas.
Thank you for your response but I'm really confused now lol I called this morning to confirm with Disney planning that her room would be overlooking Stormalong Bay and she said yes, the "studio" (as she called it) would be overlooking SB and that it has 2 queen beds and a daybed. I also looked up on the Disboards what the Beachclub Resort has as far as rooms and their description and this is what it says: "Beach motif is the obvious order of the day here. Hues of seafoam green, peach, blue and white lend a casual, bright and breezy atmosphere to the 583 guest rooms. The rooms also have French doors leading to a patio or balcony. Most of the guest rooms are 380 square feet and offer 2 queen sized beds, or one king sized bed, a nightstand, a table with 3 chairs, an armoire, a TV, a small safe, a mini-bar and double sinks. Other comforts include an iron and ironing board, hair dryer, make-up mirror and coffee maker. Suites: There are 21 suites available. I know we don't have a suite but maybe according to Disney reservationist, we don't have a "studio" booked , just a room with 2 queen beds.
I'm not renting points so I know she won't be in the DVC section and won't have a studio there. I looked at this map http://www.disneyzone.net/ResortMaps/bcthirdfloor.jpg which shows the third floor room as an example and I think the ones overlooking SB are the ones the Disney reservationist was referring to. Does anyone else know if this is right? (I'm not discrediting what TigrLvsPooh says, just trying to make sure my DBFF's daughter & grandson have a great view and the room I requested).

I would definitely call back and get clarification. A reservation for a water view room at the Beach Club Resort definitely won't contain the word "studio" anywhere in the description. If they are still calling it a "studio" then your reservation is at the Beach Club Villas.
This is where you are confused. A "studio" can be booked with cash just like a regular hotel room. It doesn't have to be booked through DVC or with points. Any person can call Disney and book a studio at the Beach Club Villas using a credit card.
Just wanted to see my ticker. I actually added a day, so we'll be there one day sooner on the 26th. I can't wait to get out of here. Already started packing!
