One more day left on a fantastic Wilderness Lodge Christmas vacation. The resort is beautiful and perfect to celebrate the holidays. Our room is in very good condition and has been well serviced. we have a pretty perfect view of the castle. The club level staff has impressed us many times. But...it isn’t Yacht Club...There is nothing wrong at all with WL, but all 3 of us have wistfully mentioned Yacht Club on several occasions.
That's our favorite Beach Club location! We always request 2nd floor or higher closest to Epcot because we are in and out of the IG so much for meals and watching the entertainment, and we don't like ground level so....anyway, LindyWebb, I'm envious! and hope you have a magical stay!Checked into BC today. Only request was daybed and we got it. We also got a full balcony. We are far from lobby but close to secret entrance. Floor 2. Woods view. Long day of travel today so we are happy to be settled.
I did 2 party-of-2 reservations, but 10 minutes apart. I couldn't get them at the same time. I did one reservation with my account, and another reservation with my wife's disney account. You can't use the same account, even with different names.
We are home and suffering withdrawal blues. We had a wonderful week in BCV 102. The Villa was pristine on our arrival. It was fresh and clean. In the mindset of nitpicking the only 2 things I saw when trying to find fault was a small scuff on the wall opposite the toilet, and a sticky door handle leaving the shower room. Really that was looking for negatives. I was in the Villa when Mousekeeping came for trash and towel service. He offered to come back but I said not necessary. He was very, very nice and left extra shampoo and conditioner, as requested. Our kitchen Trash and Recycling was emptied daily while we were out, which I appreciated.
We had lots of lotion, but no note paper or pen.
After a week I agree that the entrance to Epcot at the IG is very different. It is busy. But it handles the new volume well. We never waited long
We had an ADR at Oga's Cafe for lunch one day. We spent time in Batuu, not expecting to ride either ride this trip. We chatted with a wonderful CM for awhile and interacted with Chewy and Ren. It was great fun. The land is amazing.
We enjoyed a beverage and snacks at Baseline Tap House while waiting for our ADR time. We enjoyed that as well.
Everyone like their first trip on Slinky Dog Dash. It does compare nicely to 7DMT.
Our favorite meal of the trip was Teppan Edo in Japan, It was outstanding and the chef was an older gentlemen and he was great fun. We were all disappointed this trip in Spice Road Table, which we have enjoyed several times in the past. But we did sit outside and it was coldish and misty so not the best.
We enjoyed Epcot Forever from our table. The Kites pulled by Jet skis are amazing. Our surprise restaurant was dinner at Ale & Compass Restaurant on arrival night. We loved it and will be back.
Any other questions I can answer?
We love the BCV, our home resort and are looking forward to our already booked October trip
Dee- slight change When I originally booked BC GV wasn’t available. Yesterday it popped up so we switched from YC to BC!
No post since WEDNESDAY! Not acceptable.
So. To get this going again. Dee. Would you please put the MickeyT brood down for DGD Sarah Janes's second trip. July 19-25. BCV's
Please add us in for November 20-December 6, 2020!
We had the time of our lives this year, 3 amazing weeks at the BCV - can't wait to head back next Thanksgiving.
I feel so lucky to be fortunate enough to make these memories with my kids at such a beautiful resort.
We really truly love this place and so many thank you's go out to so many of you who have answered my many questions on this thread over the years!
Merry Christmas all!

Does anyone know if you can get your resort mug refilled at the Beaches and Cream ice cream window?
I'm not sure, but I don't think that prior to the renovation, the takeout window was a location at the resort where you could refill your mug.
Am I recalling that correctly?
The refill locations for B&C are Hurricane Hanna's and BC Marketplace. The YC Marketplace also has refills available. In the past, B&C did CM-assisted refills, but not sure about now.Does anyone know if you can get your resort mug refilled at the Beaches and Cream ice cream window?
