Its been a few weeks since we returned from a fab stay at the YC.
Our 1st time here, usually BC people but no more, YC all the way.
I needed to translate into American English.Brill - thank you all! One less thing to pack!
Finalizing my shopping list for our Thursday check-in at BC. Are the coffee makers still the cuisinart pod kind? Or are they keurig?
The Disney website is in a chronic state of dysfunction, so the lack of availability could possibly be due to a failure to make that booking period (or variably, any others) available at any particular moment.Anyone know if there is something happening at the BC the week of June 22nd 2020? Its showing no availability for every single room category. If I do Sunday, June 21st to Sunday, June 28th it has every room available. But if I change it to Monday, June 22nd to Monday, June 29th or Sunday, June 28th nothing is left. Weird. Is it just busy time? All I can think of is Sunday is father's day? Or do they not want people to travel on Mondays? YC is all sold out too except for club level. I didn't know if there was a conference or what?
... We have a toddler who loves macaroni & cheese and hot dogs (both of which we could easily get at S&D). I looked at the children's menu for Hurricane Hannah's - but I don't see either on the menu. Does any one know if there is anywhere at either of these resorts to get either of these items? (Usually we come back to our hotel for a mid-day 2-3 hr nap and then end up eating dinner at the resort before going back to the parks)...
Hi - We will be visiting in November. We usually stay at Swan & Dolphin, but are excited to spend a week at Yacht & Beach.

Thanks, I’ll bring both to be safeYes.
Does that help? No?
Some, we are not sure how many, of the Cuisinart pod machines have been replaced with Keurigs in BC rooms.
You could have either type in your room.
Sorry we don't have a better answer.
You can ask for additional coffee set ups if you need more.
If the Magical Express has your flight information you should be good to go with having your room secured. Rooms are assigned a few days in advance of your reservation. I'd still call Disney and ask to have a note placed in your file explaining that your going to have a late arrival. That would give you some peace of mind.I've got a stay coming up at YC in November. I've stayed a number of times before - it's my favourite property at WDW - but I've always arrived early evening. This time around my flights have had a number of "adjustments" so I'm now probably not going to get to the site until after midnight. I've already booked my ME place and so they know I'm arriving late but I'm having a wobble on whether I need to separately contact the hotel to let them know in case I lose my room? I realise I'm probably worrying about nothing but I've had a bit of a weird year for getting walked by hotels I've booked and this is a special trip for me (it's my birthday while I'm out there) so I really don't want it to happen again. FWIW I only have a basic garden room so nothing fancy that might protect me in the event of overbooking.
Separately, can anyone advise what a reasonable tip is for housekeeping? (It's been a few years since I was last in the US so I don't know what expectations are - I used to leave $5 per day for basic and $10 if housekeeping went out of their way).

I actually believe it has nothing to do with the fancy envelopes- which I also use - but rather with the great CM’s that work hard and clean rooms at the resort.If the Magical Express has your flight information you should be good to go with having your room secured.

Concerning the tips I think you are right on the money. That's what I do. In fact I even print out special envelopes with a cartoon Mickey and a note explaining in English and Spanish that this envelope is for the Housekeeper and thank you for doing a great job.
I also like to write requests for things I need on this envelope since I am sure the housekeeper will see it. I usually get great service thanks to those tip envelopes!

Beaches and cream has both on their kids menu. They are doing a refurb right now and I am not sure when it reopens. They have a temporary location now. Check and see what is on that kids menu.Hi - We will be visiting in November. We usually stay at Swan & Dolphin, but are excited to spend a week at Yacht & Beach.

The temp location only serves ice cream, unfortunately.Beaches and cream has both on their kids menu. They are doing a refurb right now and I am not sure when it reopens. They have a temporary location now. Check and see what is on that kids menu.
I just want to confirm: BC standard rooms still do NOT have Keurig coffee makers. Is that correct?
