Great question! And something that dearly needs addressing for a few threads. I am planning a new Poly thread that will launch before it reopens in July, and I’ve pondered handling CR as well - since those are two resorts I frequent/know the most about. Like with a lot of things in life, every time I sit down to focus on it I get distracted by other things.
A few months ago I posted on the BWI and CSR thread asking for any volunteers, but never heard anything. I need to make the rounds again on those threads, WL, and probably a few others.
Some have grown quite stale given the passage of time, as DISers come and go, etc.
If interested, feel free to PM me. There’s really no formality to it - the DIS is ultimately a DISer driven forum... most of it is what we all make it as individual contributors and/or ‘keepers’ of certain threads.
Hope that answers your question.
The only time I remember a big issue was when all of the regular resort FAQ threads were moved from the Resorts Board to the Community Forum and were replaced with generic resort threads that didn't have a lot of content. There was quite an uproar from the people who had put a lot of time into creating comprehensive and helpful resources of information and from guests who relied on them.
Thankfully, that change was short-lived, just a few days, following many complaints.
I remember that snafu when all the resort threads disappeared into
the resorts community board! But it was the insistent but respectful posters on this board that brought them back!
I heard a rumor that they are planning to reopen in the fall.
My sister wants to join us at the Beach Club, or Yacht Club, in October but has not been able to find an open reservation. I told her to just keep looking because rooms open up as people cancel. But in the meantime, she has a reservation at the Dolphin.
There are pros and cons to each resort. The Yacht Club is a smaller resort than the BC/BVC, so lines will be shorter for buses. But it also seems as if they send less buses to the YC for the morning park crowd then they do for the BC/BCV bus stop. All of the buses later in the day stop at both resorts with the YC being the first stop.

No, they each have their own buses. The exception being when they run a pickup bus, which will stop at both resorts for the morning park opening hours, but we only encountered one of those in our last four stays at the YC.
Thanks for the info. I have an Annual Pass and was hoping to use it if a discount was released for then. And I’m not that up on things like most of you to know about other travel agencies would be. Haha.
They have not due to limited bus capacity due to social distancing but at some point that is going to change.
And said agency is also totally sold out of all their Oct blocks for YC/BC - we tried to get in on that and they sold out VERY quickly. Same with their blocks at Poly and Contemporary. The fall is going to be very very interesting. Lots of changes coming...
