My family and I have stayed at the YC for the last 8 years. I called WDW 3x and of course got 3 different answers. I am having trouble securing our dates. Is something going on at the YC in late August. We had planned to split our 3 weeks with another hotel but I am have trouble getting an AP rate at all at the YC. Beach club has a lot of availability. We have had some disappointing encounters at the YC and are not thrilled with the villas using SAB but can't imagine not staying at the YC for a little while. Any Yacht Club addicts ever go to WDW and not stay there? Did it ruin your trip?
