Has anyone stayed at both the Swan/Dolphin AND the Beach/Yacht Club? We have the choice between the two when we travel with my husband for a work convention of his and I'm trying to decide.
Cons:
- Husband may have to walk further to get to convention activities at S/D
Questions:
- Does BC/YC charge for the 5th person?
- Any difference in buses/getting to and from parks between the two (assuming we don't rent a car)?
- Any other thoughts on the differences / convenience?
It would not be a very long walk to the convention center, especially if you stay at the YC instead of the BC.
There is an additional charge for more than two adults in a room. They don't charge per person but rather by adult.
There isn't any real difference when it comes to Disney park buses, since the Swan and Dolphin share buses with the BWI while the YC/BC just share a bus between them.
The Yacht Club rooms have balconies. About half of the BC rooms have a full balcony.
The Magic Bands are really great. It is so convenient to have the room key, the park tickets and charging privileges on the bands.

If the YC/BC is a lower cost than the Swan/Dolphin then I can't see any reason not to stay at Yacht and Beach.
