Asked this on another thread, but thought I should ask here
:
(due to recent reports of crowded MK buses from Beach Club)
If MK is an EMH morning with an 8 am opening and we are at Beach Club bus stop around 6:45 am
, chances are pretty good we'll get on first bus that comes? Or should we walk over to Yacht Club to get on bus first?
thanks! 57 days!!
My guess is at that time of morning you will not be dealing with full buses at either resort. My experience with MK EMH is that when we have been out at the Beach Club bus stop around 7:30 am, we have always arrived at MK before or just after the opening show. I think once a bus was full, but another was right behind. We typically do the MK EMH, so we have done this about 5 times.

28 days to go, getting down to the details. How is turn down service at Beach Club? Do I request it at check in? Daily? When and what do they traditionally do?
At club level, turndown included folding down the sheets, chocolates on pillow and pulling out the daybed (I think if we requested that). Not sure if there was anything else.
I just stayed at the YC over the weekend. After staying at BC last fall, I decided I preferred the rooms at YC. I'd read some reports that they were slightly rundown, but our room was in great shape (not true of our BC room last year), and we had better mousekeeping service at YC. We were in room 3114, I believe it was, and it was a garden view corner room. There was a staircase right beside our room, and when we peeped out the door on the ground level, we could see the umbrella tops at a quiet pool. I went there Saturday afternoon, and it was nice and relaxing. We enjoyed our late breakfast at Cape May Saturday morning - I love their chorizo scrambled eggs, cheese grits, and Mickey waffles with syrup, whipped cream, and chocolate chips! My favorite place for Mickey waffles. Sunday we had an 11:05 ADR at Beaches and Cream, and it was delicious as ever. Since we were there so early, there was no problem getting a booth, and our server, Galina, was quite nice. Stormalong Bay was super fun, of course, and my three year old nephew loved the sandy kids area much more this year, and he spent an hour sliding down the kids slide. Wish we could stay there again in October, but it's to Coronado Springs that trip.
The only slight annoyance was when I left for the Villains Unleashed event a bit after 4 on Saturday afternoon, the clouds were rolling in and it had just announced that boat service would be on hold. I went back up to the room for a poncho and then to the bus stop, and every other possible bus came before the DHS one did (Epcot came twice!), so it was quite a wait. Good thing I went for the poncho because the rain blew all over under the bus stop cover and I would have got soaked without it. Bus service is hit or miss no matter what resort you're at though.
Thanks so much for the review of our trip. Glad you had a great time. I have heard similar complaints about the organization of the Villains party!
Just back from BC and our kids are already planning our next stay there!
Loved the location, pool and rooms. Beds and pillows were so comfy. Loved the fact that we could walk into Epcot on a whim.
Thank you for all the advice (especially the tip about taking mug into world showcase to transfer adult beverages into - used this one a few times).

Thanks for letting us know you had a great time!
Hello from the Yacht Club. We have been having a great time. Only bad, 40 minute wait for a bus from MK last night. It was raining and we saw 4 Pop buses come and go while our line became huge. People were pretty angry when all could not fit on the bus that did finally arrive. Other than that, no issues with the bands and we have a great standard room overlooking a huge tree and the front drive on the one side. So no real parking lot view, so we are good. We have both walked and rode the boat to both Epcot and HS. Leaving the Villains event was crazy too. They ended up sending one boat after the other when our huge crowd was waiting for the boat for over 30 minutes. It was an ok event, way too crowded and ran out of limited T shirts before 7:30pm. I would not pay that much again and unless it is a lot less crowded and have more value, I would not go again.
Sorry so long. Hope all are enjoying the end of the month.
Glad to hear your trip is going well!
We had a view like that at the BC- large tree blocking parking lot view.
I have to agree with you about the bus from MK to the resort. I don't know what the wait is typically like because normally we take the monorail to EPCOT. Not because it is quicker (it's not) but because we enjoy the journey and find something to do in EP on our way to BC. But last Tuesday, it was just too darned hot for all that walking, so I decided to use the bus. I waited 30 minutes before one showed up (and that was only because Janet and her DH came along with her good bus karma).
The line for the BW bus was pretty long, too.
We just received our Magic Bands for our stay at Beach Club Sept. 21-27. Now it seems very real to me. All the time and energy put into planning is beginning to pay off. I am getting so excited!
This will be our first stay at a deluxe and first trip back to Disney since 2000.
An all girls trip! I think we are going to be so happy to have selected Beach Club, from all my research it appears absolutely fabulous!
Hope everyone has safe travels and a wonderful vacation.
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
Yikes, I didn't think about that! What about infants?
Just in case you haven't posted here before,
With the infants, if you have a band, it is probably best to keep it with you for SAB.
