Live report:

Phew!!!! I'm exhausted! After having breakfast in the CL lounge, we headed to Epcot today. We were able to get lots of rides in....TT single rider 3X, M:S twice, SE, Soarin', Nemo, Sum of All Thrills and Living With the Land. Lunch was Sunshine Seasons and dinner at Yorkshire County Fish Shop. Everything was delicious!

The cross are low. Really low compared to what we are used to in mid-July. At one point in the early afternoon standby for Soarin was 45 minutes!!! Unbelievable!

I'm back at BC for the night with our DD11. She fell asleep while we were taking a quick break before heading over to DHS. DH, DD14 and DS 13 headed over there a half an hour ago. The desserts in the lounge are yummy....lemon bar, chocolate cake and rice Krispy treats. I'm waiting to watch Wishes from our room. We have a nice view of Spaceship Earth too!

We are going to MK tomorrow after spending some time at SAB.

Sounds like a wonderful trip so far! Enjoy.

I just had a question regarding bus service. We are currently booked at WL, but I am thinking of switching to YC/BC. Last year when we were at the YC, the bus to MK and AK only shared with the BC (which was fantastic). Is is still like that or does YC/BC share with the other Epcot resorts? Thanks!

I have only stayed at the Yacht Club once and Beach Club once and in both instances, when we were taking a very early bus to MK, we also stopped at BWI but that is not the norm.

Catho72: Really enjoying your live updates!! Kelp them coming!

Agreed! Always fun to read a live trip report and imagine us there with you.

robyn - my mom and i check in on the 16th too, but at bc. I was also surprised the deal included the 16th. Works for me! Thinking about adding another day and staying until the 20th, but right now scheduled to depart on the 19th. Looking forward to meeting you!

Rebecca

We took the early bus to MK in March and it traveled directly to MK from the BC.

We just returned from yet another wonderful vacation to the world. We spent 3 nights at BC in room 2641. When we first checked in, we had a different room which was ready when we arrived at 11am but it had a Juliette balcony overlooking the lagoon and the volleyball court, even though I loved the view, I was hoping for a full balcony which I did request. After going back to the front desk and explaining to them how we would love to have a full balcony rather then the Juliette balcony (if there was a room available of course), we were then switched to room 2641 which had an awesome view of the lagoon/beach and boardwalk. As for our balcony, it was huge and I loved it . Because we were facing the BW, each night we were able to watch the Star Wars fireworks show at DHS and it was awesome, we also were able to watch the high flying fireworks of Illuminations. After our BC stay, we moved over to VWL for 7 nights and let me tell ya, DH and I liked VWL a lot but said it definitely is not BC, that is our home away from home and one that we love to go back to.

Catho72, just have to say that I love your live reports, even though we just returned on Monday, I am wanting to go back . Enjoy your trip....that is awesome about the crowds, we had the same experience with crowd levels as well. The only day that we noticed a ton of people was when we were at DHS on Memorial Day, but I was expecting that to happen .

TeenaS, I was looking for you during our stay (we were there from 5/23-5/26), I was hoping to say hi from a friendly DISer. I am sorry that we missed you, hopefully next time we are in that area, our paths will cross .

So sorry I missed you. I only work Sundays and Mondays but I was in the hospital with kidney stones ... an unexpected "vacation" from work for two weeks. You had one of my favorite rooms!!!! Love the location and the view!! I'm super glad you had a good time and hope to see you in the future.

That sounds like a great room, and it was close to the lobby, too.
I'm glad to hear that the crowd levels were low. Our daughter and her family just returned yesterday, they stayed at ASMU, and I'm glad that they had such a good week. I'm wondering if the crowds were lower than usual because so many schools had to extend their school years to make up for all the snow days this winter.

So sorry I missed you. I only work Sundays and Mondays but I was in the hospital with kidney stones ... an unexpected "vacation" from work for two weeks.

Teena: It's good to hear you are feeling better. Of course, having had several bouts with kidney stones myself, I know that anything is better than that pain. Hope to meet you during our stay. We will look for you on the 22 & 23. If you see a middle aged couple wearing hats that say Maine, and anniversary & first time buttons, then it's probably us. (My wife's not sure about wearing the buttons, but I'll have them on). Stay healthy, and liquidated - lots of water.

 

[Karebear]

Each time I have been there, it was only shared with BC.

I have only stayed at the Yacht Club once and Beach Club once and in both instances, when we were taking a very early bus to MK, we also stopped at BWI but that is not the norm.

Great--thanks so much for the info!

 

[Lizzybean]

Checked in this morning! Sadly no availability to upgrade to club level (been trying since January so I wasn't surprised) but we love our standard room. Over the roof we have a view of the pool! Still trying to get an ADR for beaches and cream, so hopefully we can at least get that!

Happy to hear you are feeling better enough to return to work! (Which also means you are feeling better in time for your cruise. )

I have stayed in room 2641! It was way back in 2006. One of my favorite rooms of all time.....right up the stairs from the lobby, huge balcony and an amazing view. Funny story,and you can relate since you know how it's right near the walkways: my then 13 year old daughter and I were on the balcony and a FROG jumped out of nowhere and landed on my head!! I screamed and jumped up and down, and so did my daughter since she had no idea what was happening, and when the frog took off, I finally looked around me, and EVERYONE within ear shot was looking at us, and people came running up to see if we were OK....embarrassing!! Glad you had a great trip!

We just got back too, we were in room 2629, full balcony facing the inside area where you walk out to the back. We loved it, close to everything and a short walk to the steps. We had to walk down to the beach to see the Star Wars fireworks, they were awesome. We wanted to see them up close but DH was getting a cold and wanted to sleep it off.
