Thanks for that link!
I viewed it and then searched for the Mickey Lifeguard Lamp from the Beach Club (and also Paradise Pier at DL) and there was one for $55.
I miss that lamp!
What do they do with all the old furnishings when they refurbish? I would totally buy one of those old nautical headboards if they were for sale.
Staying YC in November and I am not thrilled with the new room decor, the little nautical touches is what set the YC apart from the BC.Seriously, we have YC booked for next spring and I'm so distressed at how "UnDisney" the room is that I was looking at eBay thinking I'd bring my own old school bed runner. But I decided that was a bit extreme, so instead I'm packing Duffy in his sailor suit to give the room that certain "happy yachting touch." Am I nutty? You bet!
I saw the globe last week from the boardwalk, they had the doors propped open.
Thanks to all who responded. You confirmed what I was already thinking. We'll be back at Beach Club again in May. It seems like no matter what happens, we always default back to BC. My wife wants to put the kids on the resort loop next November, but we'll get to be back at my favorite resort at least twice between now and then.
With kids that will only be 3 and 5, nothing beats the BC pool, walk to two parks, and the fact that we can have them in bed less than ten minutes after Illuminations ends.
Dee, could you please add us to the BOG List again, this time for May 4-8?
Hello again! It looks like we might be able to fly for our September trip instead of drive (15 hour drive)! Will we miss not having a car? Other times we've flown we've rented on and never used it. But this is our first trip with our 3 year old. I wasn't planning on driving much but was considering it for AK EMH. We could Uber but we'd need a car seat. I think I'm just over thinking it, but any opinions are welcome! Do you like having a car? Is it completely unnecessary? We would be renting one for a day trip to Kennedy Space Center. Thanks all!
I realized I had never posted the dates of my trip. Staying at Beach Club Oct. 7-14.
Staying at the end of July! Does anyone have pictures of the newly added showers at the pool bathrooms? My friends will have to drive home and would like to shower before they leave. Last time we stayed we were told the only shower option was the outdoor one (the spa ones weren't available.) Thanks!
Just booked a stay at YC mid-September and I was wondering about the showers at SAB.
We rented a car when kids were 2.5 years old, but were staying off site. I found that sometimes its a pita, imho. Dealing with parking and traffic. The next trip when kids were 5 years old we were onsite and did MDE. Unfortunately with GF we were the last stop with 4 resorts before that so it took forever and we were starving. I dont think BC/YC will be like that. But it was so convenient that we will be doing MDE again this next trip but will take note from our last time by packing snacks just for the bus time. We also collect our own bags (we dont use the mde luggage service) because we dont like waiting for them once at the resort.Hello again!

Hello everyone! We are going to be returning to the YC in March 2018. When we booked our trip the other day, only garden view was available for our family of 5. Is this a change in room arrangements? Or are the other options all booked already? Any insight? I was hoping to save a few dollars with a standard view.

We are "Home"!!! Came over from the Poly about 10am, room wasn't ready but we received our room ready text about 11:30a while we were enjoying the pool. I requested full balcony and king bed, I had to decide btw the two when we checked in and we really wanted full balcony so that request was granted!! We will go up to the room around 3 and then head to Epcot for dinner at Teppan Edo. Let me know if anyone has any questions
I have updated the Be Our Guest list. Please take a moment to look it over to make sure I have your vacation listed the way you want it to read. Let me know if you have any changes/adjustments.
Thanks for all the hard work! It must be exhausting!
Post 15: Be Our Guest List
Okay, decision time and I need your collective help. We've decided on May 4-8 for our add-on trip. 2018 pricing released today and BC & Poly are $300 apart.
A little background: We'll be at BC for 8 days this December, and trying Poly for the first time for 8 days in November, 2018. This trip would be a little extra I decided to throw into the middle. We have two little ones, DS 5 and DD 3.
I know this group is biased, but I trust your opinions. Which resort would you pick for May? We really are torn. BC has the pool, and the short walk to EP and DHS, while Poly has the resort loop into MK for the little ones.
The Globe is back, I repeat the Globe is back!! Also they are working on the first floor near the quite pool for the YC room refurbishments !
We always do online check in. We like getting the text when our resort room is ready. They assign the rooms a few days ahead of time, anyway. Whether or not you do online check in you can still go to the front desk to make sure you like the room they gave you. We went to the front desk on our arrival day in May and were able to get a room that was ready right away, which was nice since we were there around 10:30am.We did our fast passes today since we are 60 days out. We are staying at the YC. Do most of you do online check-in or check in when you get to the hotel? Any advantages/disadvantages to either? Also, if we do online check in do you find out what room you are getting earlier than the day of check-in? Thanks
We haven't eaten here since it moved to Ariel's but we did eat there last month. The food was good. It is a nice, laid back place to eat. We've never seen it too crowded. We've had dinner there with our grandchildren, age seven and five at the time, and they were able to make some simple foods for our granddaughter who has food allergies. I think it is a good place for families.Has anyone tried the Captain's Grille since it has relocated? I have an adr there for our check in date which is a Wednesday. Do most of you recommend it? Family of 5, children 14, 14 and 8. Thanks
Would you like to be added to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1? Which month is your trip?
