What Happens at the Beach Club... Travels with Teens, Take Two, (PTR) 4/6 p. 29

IF we had had your room number (or Scott's) we would have marched right over and started banging on your door. Children or no children Mommy's got to party 24/7/365 when she is at Disney! :banana::banana::banana:

~NM

My kids would have thought it was fun, too. My mom, not so much...

At the risk of turning this report into "It's all Greek to me"... this morning I just read the Disney Food Blog post about the Greek booth at Food & Wine:

I WANT TO BE THERE!!!

Stacey rocks!!! Her original Must-do show with all of the great catch phrases may be one of the best things I have ever seen on tv. Well, maybe not THE best, but close.

I'm so glad I got to try Kouzzina before it closes! I haven't been to FF, but it sounds amazing!

I want to go back to food and wine one of these years. My last trip was in 2011. My youngest was born in March 2012. Months of planning a food and wine trip only to have it turn into a food sans wine trip.
 
I am on major catch up. School is back and it is soooo busy. I have NQTs everywhere.

I'm so pleased we didn't have a fire alarm! My new PJs were rather on the short side!

I'm concerned about poor Buzzy! Locked in a suitcase whilst iced tea was rescued.

Well, glad your mom was able to sleep through the night undisturbed. There's always next time!

Oh, bummer about only being able to enjoy the food part of F&W. Once again, there's always next time, which I hope is soon for you!

:wave2:

No worries! I get that about the busy start of school. Can't see my kitchen table for all the paperwork.

The fire alarm was only fun because we were all together. It pretty much stunk for everyone else. Although between ~NM and her lack of undergarments and your shorty PJs, maybe we could have made it a show.

:lmao:

Don't be concerned about Buzzy. He will be liberated from the suitcase soon and will be making an appearance in an upcoming chapter.

:thumbsup2
 

After the late night/early morning shenanigans at the Beach Club, I actually slept until after 6 am. That is UNHEARD of for me!!!

I grabbed my iced coffee fixings from the fridge, along with my phone and camera, and I made my way (quietly, I hope) onto the balcony.

I sat out there for a few minutes, sipping my coffee, and catching up on email/FB and the DIS (not much had changed since 1 am). I snapped a few pictures of the morning trying to peek its way out





Once I noticed my roommates were awake, I came in and brushed my teeth and then went on a walkabout around the resort before I needed to arrive at the restaurant for breakfast with my buddies.


Let me present the Beach Club (and Yacht Club) in their early morning splendor:

I started out in the Beach Club Marketplace, the resort gift shop and quick-serve location so that I could take pictures for the masses. Who are the masses- you all! Actually, I added the pictures to the BC Marketplace photo thread, and I won’t repost them here but if you want to check them out, click on this link.

I then moved on from the Marketplace into the lobby area















I took this picture the previous day when I arrived, but I am going to include it in this series








I went up the stairs to take some pictures from the upper deck










Another selfie (apparently I have not learned my lesson)

Continuing on along the walkway between the Beach Club and the Yacht Club























Arriving in the Yacht Club lobby, I went over to the Ale and Compass lounge, where a continental breakfast/quick serve location is set up from either 6 am or 6:30 to noon. Again, I added these pictures to the Ale and Compass Photo Thread, and I won’t post them here, but if you want to see, they are in this link.

I wish I could say I'm the person that's like "I slept until after 6am!" like it's sleeping in. I can't. :lmao:

Nice pictures! It's getting me excited for hopefully staying there in May. I have to wait one more month to book through DVC. :thumbsup2
 
I LOVE the early morning pics! And what a great morning view!!! :goodvibes Too bad I am one of those who sleeps in WAY too late on vacation, at home I am up at 6a :surfweb: I am diggin' the selfies :thumbsup2

Dee, I like that time of the morning there at the YC, it is really nice and quiet. You would have seen DW and me out in that lobby area for sure as 6:00-6:30am is usually the time we are out of the room. Thanks for the new pictures. Just gets me all the more pumped up for our upcoming trip.

What a lovely morning stroll! We didn't have much time to explore the two resorts when we walked over one afternoon but from what I did see, the grounds and buildings are quite lovely.
 
At first I expected to see absolutely no people in the photos at all since I figured it was still pretty early. Then I realized the main one with people was from the previous day, lol.

There is something really cool about that photo with all the chairs. All ready to accept wet people for the day ahead.
 
Will there be pictures of the Pool??? :listen:

Signed, Hopeful and Wondering.... :cool2:

I have one of those bodies that gets up at the same time every single day, whether it is a weekday, weekend, holiday or vacation. Unfortunately, that time is usually between 4:30 and 5:30 am, although the past couple of weeks it has been closer to 4:00.

:scared:

I really hope you get to stay at the resort in May!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

The resort is so peaceful and pretty in the morning. As long as I am awake, I might as well roam!

Thanks for the comment about the selfies. I think I have one or two more coming, one that caused some scolding words from my DH when I posted it on FB (because of the comment I added)

:lmao:

If you were there, I would have looked for you! I really have not spent much time in the YC lobby but it is a great area. I loved the monkey lamp. So whimsical and representative of a treasure a ship captain may have brought back from foreign travels.

Glad you are getting pumped for your return trip.

I know you appreciate the just walking around the resort you are staying at and taking in all the atmosphere and details.

:thumbsup2

It was pretty deserted, but there were a couple of times I had to wait to take a picture. Like the one through the porthole- people were exiting and heading toward the lake so I had to wait them out and then snap quickly because more people where coming into the shot.

That picture with the chairs did come out pretty well, and yes, soon they would be filled with bodies, or more likely towels from the chair piggies reserving their seats for later in the day.

There is some of that! :sad2:

I have some good news, some bad news and some great news:

:) :( :woohoo:

The good news: YES there are pool pictures

The bad news: They are a couple of updates away

The great news: They are spectacular pictures, with great commentary! Definitely worth waiting for.

Patience, my friend!

:rotfl:
 
Finally getting caught up-loved strolling through the resorts with you :lovestruc
Love the porthole pic and the wee monkey lamp :)

I don't know how I feel right now. I'm impatient just like a certain Ninja Mom, but I also have the most respect for Dee's organization and appreciate the importance of keeping this report on the planned schedule for updates.

I'm so confused.

(Maybe you could give us one little sneak preview of the pool pictures?)
 
I'm playing catch up...again.

I'm usually up by 6 or 6:30 a.m. at Disney...that's sleeping in for me as I'm up at 5:30 in the morning on work days.

I have to say that I do LOVE the lobby of the Beach Club...it really is very pretty.

Beautiful pictures of that and the lobby at the Yacht Club and the walk between the two resorts.

I got this Dee!

Here is a sneak peak of our Stormalong Bay pictures....

In this shot we capture a chair hog enjoying the bountiful bliss that is our beloved pool.
