Hi everyone, we returned home from a 2 week stay at the YC concierge!
we got back a week ago, and yes, I wish I were back there! :)

we had a lake view concierge bookd, and we had an awesome view of crescent lake, BW, World showcase, the shipwreck, the lighthouse, everything... :)

the new decor at the YC is wonderful! I love it! all rooms have the same decor, as opposed to before where the concierge had a different decor. the drapes are striped., which imho is better over the previous floral which was a little "loud"!
the bedspeads are adorable with hidden mickeys, and I love the Mickey lamps! I like them better than the ones at the GF, I cant wait til they sell them!

The concierge was excellent as usual. The whole team remembered us from our previous trips, and we are referred to now as "regulars"! They are such a special group of people, really go out of their way to make the guests happy and comfortable! just to mention a few of the concierge team, as they deserve some recognition - Dane (you are wonderul... thanks for everything!!!!!) Theresa, Betty, Trevor, Jennifer, Abby, Josh, thnak you all of you! and those I didnt mention too. all of the concierge cm's are the BEST! Also a special thank you to Lauren, you were awesome, thanks for everything!
This is one major reason we keep going back to the YC!

we even got a present from Mickey in our room too! a lovely YC pen and a leather note pad case, and an autographed pic of mickey n minnie, :)

I had the 3 ft decorated christmas tree from the WD florist deliverd to our room on Thanksgiving day, while we were out at Cindys Castle having breakfast. when we returned to the room, it was there, all set up on the table, dh was so surprised! (Thanks Lauren for taking care of that!)
nthey shipped it to our house on our last day, and now it sits in our living room, cute as ever!!!

dh also had a basket delivered to the room for me on our first night! champagne, 2 mickey champagne glasses, cheese and crackers, 3 balloons, so beautiful!!!

we had a great trip!!!

The newly renovated concierge lounge is so nice. I love the new decor, the nautical curtains, and pillows! there are more tables now, so that makes it easier to lounge about during breakfast :)

the food offerings were pretty much the same as usual, the morning is bagels, english muffins, bread for toast, cream cheese, jelly... donuts (krispy kremes!) chocolate and glazed, danishes, coffee cake (either walnut or blueberry), fruit, melons, cereal, oatmeal, donut holes.... coffee, tea, juice, water.....

the afernoon was popcorn, pretzels, gold fish, chips and salsa, cookies, soda, ice tea, lemonade, water, coffee, tea...

then a little later in the afternoon they add a cake, pudding cups...

the evening varied, some items were veggie wraps, quesidillas, cheese filled jalepenos, little hor deourves, pbj, veggies and dip, cheese and crackers, etc...... also wine....

the late evening is a cake, and a large array of small pastries, about 5 different cordials...

we used the lounge for breakfast almost everyday, except for about 3 days that we went out for breakfast. other than that, we hardly used it at all, much less than previous trips, but I did go in to peek so that I could report :) we only had evening hordeourves once.

SAB was great as usual, although it was a little to chilly to use the pool much.
we love walking around crescent lake late at night! and Beaches n vream is always fun!

house keeping was perfect, we got little towel amnimlas, and turndown every night (I think we left there with about 60 little chocolates!) lol!

even met some DIS'ers in the lounge! Hi Linda :)

I got to take a look at the suites at the YC too! the Vice presidential, the Admiral, and the Turret suites, all gorgeous! the best one however is the Captains Suite!!!!!! omg, I wanted to move in, it is on the first floor in the front of the resort, so no lake view, but who cares, the suite is so absolutley gorgeous that the view doesnt matter! it does hav a huge patio too!
I took pics and in a week or two, I will be posting them!!!


well, once again, we had a fabulous time at the YC! any questions????

Laura :) :) :)
 
Sounds like a wonderful stay, Laura. Thanks for the review. Where are you staying next trip?:D
 
Just a FYI on the Mickey desk lamps - they are on sell and I purchased one from the guest service department, infact my lamp is in my livingroom. I love it!:bounce: Let me know if your interested in buying one.
 

Forgot to ask--do you have pictures of the tree? I'd love to see it! :)
 
Hey Monte, thanks, I e-mailed you!!!

Misti, yes I have pics of the tree! I will be posting pics in a week or two... :) btw.. it was so nice to meet you! :)

BCV23 - funny you should ask.. our next trip is at the BCV!!! LOL! in a 1 bedroom villa :) we are so excited, we are going the week of March 29th.
(we booked it right from our room at the YC last week! :)

Happy Day!

Laura :)
 
Looking forward to the pix, Laura! It was very nice meeting with both of you! :)
 
I would LOVE to stay at YC-Conc.

I'm so glad you have a fantastic time...but how could you not:p
 
Princess angel, I enjoyed your review. I'm looking forward to the photos, especially of your Christmas tree. By the way, I agree with you regarding the Captains Deck Suite. My family had a lovely stay in that suite.

The YC/BC is a potential resort for a WDW vacation next year. We're considering Thanksgiving or Christmas time. You mentioned that Stormalong Bay was a little chilly during your stay. Do you think that is always the case? I don't mind cold water myself, but if my parents & siblings' families join me on that vacation, I'm afraid they would be disappointed if the water at SAB is always on the chilly side. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this subject.
 
Thanks for the review, Laura! You've almost got me convinced to give the YC a try :) I always tend to lean towards the YC rather than the BC. Do you feel this way too? What major differences do you see between the two resorts??

Also, what does the YC Mickey lamp look like? Do you have pictures of it? I'd love to see it! :) Until you get your pictures online, can you describe what the lamp looks like??

Thanks!
 
The Mickey desk lamp is a antique gold color and Mickey is wearing a nautical outfit, (his hat has a Mickey head on it). The base of the lamp, as well as the shade, have small waves and the base also has portholes and anchors. It's very cute!
 
Janet2k,
Hi there, you must really have loved staying in the Captains Deck Suite! I think it was someone else who said that SAB was alittle chilly, I have never encountered that. Actually, the weather during this trip was on the chilly side, but we went in SAB a few times and the water was very nice. definatlely heated, and not chilly at all to us. (and dh and I wouldnt last 2 minutes in the pool if the water was cold!)
If you want to stay at the YC, Iwouldnt let something like the water at SAB stop you, the water temperature could vary at whatever resort you choose.

Seaspray,
yes, I have pics of the Mickey Lamp, I will post them soon. I do lean towards the YC over the BC, and the main reason is theming. I love the quiet elegance of the YC. The beach is definately noisier, everytime I go into the lobby I am surprised, the pitch is about 5 times louder than the YC (and more people around)
The new decor of the BC rooms is beautiful though, I really like it A LOT! the pics do it no justice, in person it is even nicer. so I like the BC better than I did before, But I still love the whole theming and everything about the YC better.
give it a try!!! :)

happy day everyone!!!

Laura :)

Thanks for the reply, Laura! Those are the same reasons why the YC has always appealed to me, over the BC. Not that the BC doesn't look great, but if I had to choose one, it'd be the YC :) Looking forward to your picutes :)
