Thank you all so much for the nice sendoff everyone!!! I truly appreciate the well-wishes!!! My family is really looking forward to this time together and many special experiences. This will be the trip of a lifetime for us.
Happy Birthday Lily! And Mike! Hope your special days are fantastic.
To all who have trips coming up in the next couple of weeks, hope you have super magical trips! Everyone else, hope you all enjoy your summer as you anticipate your next trip.
Hi, Dee!
I just wanted to confirm my dates at YC. We will be at ALK from 8/15~8/21 and move to YC 8/21~8/29. I am definitely going to drop by 8/18 morning to see Teena since it is our Epcot day. I so want to drop by to see everyone at dismeet but I also need to drive my mom to airport that night so depending on traffic and all.
Got it! I'll update the list.
Funny you should mention scooters. Yesterday's while sitting by pool at SAB an elderly gentleman accidentally drove his
scooter right into the pool! As you can imagine it caused quite the scene
Wow! Just Wow!
Dee ... have a super super super time. We'll miss you but look forward to all the pics and reports when you return!!!!
And since Dee posts the Princess Lily pics, I'll just have to rely on my other Dis friends to pick some from Facebook that Jeanne posts daily to hopefully post here once in a while.
OOOH! OOOH! OOOH! Pick me! I'll do it!!
I'd be happy to! 
Thank so much, Teena. I know you are going to have an amazing visit with your girls. Please give them both an extra squeeze from me!
And thanks, DawnMaree!!!
Feel free to add pictures to the Princess Lily Goes Live thread (in my signature) too if you want.
Hi everyone!
This is my very first post on the Disboards! I've read through this whole thread and there is some very helpful information on here as well as some fun conversations, I love it! I am starting to plan a group trip for next fall, probably end of September to the beginning of October, and I am really hoping that we will be able to rent points for the Beach Club. I have always wanted to stay at this beautiful resort. The last group trip we took we rented points at Kidani and it was fun, but I was hoping for a change this time around. Most of the group is up for the Beach Club, but there are one or two people that wanted to go back to Kidani for the Savannah view room. I have shown them pictures of the pool and told them how it is within walking distance to Epcot. They have agreed to try it, but my question is does anyone have any other information I can use as a bonus to staying at the Beach Club? Most of us want to try BC, I just don't want anyone to be disappointed. That said...I can't wait to book our stay!
to posting on the Disboards and this thread!
You covered the two biggies for the Beach Club- Best pool on property and proximity to EPCOT. Don't forget that you are also close to Hollywood Studios- quick stroll or boat ride, and you are spitting distance for the nightlife at Boardwalk. The lobby smells incredible. Sunken Treasures (see page 2 of this thread)
Hope that helps!
I am so excited to say that we just booked our first stay at Beach Club for December 3-10 this year! We loved the feel of this resort when we went to Cape May twice and Beaches and Cream once last trip. Can't wait to enjoy this new experience and also see Disney World at Christmastime for the first time! Wahoo!!!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
Wow, been away for awhile, checked out who will be around for our trip next month and I think the better question is who won't be!
We are staying in a deluxe room for the first time and after reading a bunch of posts about the rooms, I'm still not sure which ones to request so if I'm looking for some opinions please. Also what's the official disboard identifier this year? I recognized someone in the hottub last year because they mentioned they had a black eye in this forum lol, something less painful might be good.
Great question about identifiers. We should make flyswatter t-shirts or pins or something!
Here is the detailed info about the 6 Deluxe Rooms at BC, but like Teena says below, that category is often fully occupied so the room assigners don't usually have a lot of flexibility in granting requests.
There are six Deluxe Concierge Rooms at BC.
1557 has a patio and lots of windows.
2557 and 4557 have extra large balconies.
3557 has the standing room only balcony.
3691 has both a standing room balcony and a full balcony
4691 has a standing room only balcony.
So 3 of the 6 have full balconies, 1 has a patio, and 2 have standing room only balconies.
There is also a link to a Deluxe Room and Suite thread in the Club Level Post on Page 1- has some pictures of some rooms provided by past guests.
:
There are only six deluxe rooms at the BC and we have been running 90-100% occupancy for a long time. Therefore, the chance of you getting the one you want is slim because that one would have to be being vacated the same day as your arrival. But you have one in six chances. They are all really nice and equally far away pretty much from the main elevator and thus the lounge.
Just wondering, what do you think, BC club level, or YC club level?
When? BC club level will be undergoing rehab work in near future. No, I don't know when. Maybe October.
YC lounge is currently bigger
Not all of the BC CL rooms have full balconies.
Other than that, both have the same amenities, food/drink offerings and management staff.
OMG!! Very excited!!!
In my normal fashion, I have had a million resort changes over the past year. Well, 37 days out a BC CL room opened up under the military discount and I snagged it up!!!
We had moved to the GF, and then found out that our family is growing (we are pregnant!! Total surprise!!) so we had moved to AKL, knowing that our chances of staying there as a family of five are slim....but in the end, we wanted to go where we loved (stayed YC CL last year and loved it!)
Must be fate, because the room opened up!!!!
BC CL, here we come!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family!!! What incredible news!!!
I have you on the list for BC, August 16-26. Same dates? If so, I will just add CL.
Glad to have you back!
Planning is so much fun! Plus, she is excited to go back, because she ran the Goofy during our last trip and ended up getting sick. So, she wants to be able to actually enjoy the trip with family this time around.
