A good link with the Friendship Boat update: http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2018/11/update-friendship-boat-service-to-be.html
I'm booked at the YC for 4 nights next week. This will be my first solo trip so hoping it goes well I had an unused airline ticket I needed to use before it expired and also have a 5 day park hopper ticket left over from years ago we've never been able to use, (usually have gotten packages like for free dinning etc). I was very tempted to give Pop Century a try as it's so much cheaper and I don't really plan on table service too often and I hear the room renovations are very nice, but it's the ability to walk to Epcot and HS that won me over. I was afraid of getting tired and coming back to the resort for awhile to rest - if staying at Pop and the buses were crowded it might un motivate me from going back later to see fireworks or other shows. At YC, it's a simple walk. I'm pretty excited though a little nervous about taking my first solo trip.
I was on the boat to Epcot yesterday afternoon and they made the announcement that the boat would NOT be going to Epcot starting today. You can still walk to the IG.
I am staying at the Yacht Club currently and can confirm that the boat to Epcot is running. They said they were planning on closing it but are now just closing the boat service an hour earlier (9:30pm) working on the skylines during the night.
Thanks for the reply.
There was a post on another thread this morning, which had a link to a Disney announcement from today. The notice stated the FriendShip boats at EP currently cease service at EPCOT nightly, at 9:30, until late December.

We have a YC CL standard view room over Christmas. When doing online checkin it doesn’t give me any options for room location requests. Is there any request I should fax in or do I just get what I get? I’m really not picky but I guess ideally the only thing I’d put is close to the lounge. Is that even a possibility with standard view? Just want to make sure I’m not missing anything. Thanks!
Oh happy day! I have been trying to return to my happy place since we last stayed at the BC/BCV in 2011, and now I can finally request to be added to the Be Our Guest list again.
We’ll be there October 20-26, 2019 in a 2 bedroom villa and I can’t wait!
DH and I will be staying at BCV (cash stay) 1/30-2/2 before our SWDAS cruise! I've been dying to go to SAB so as long as it's warm enough to keep it open, I'll be in the lazy river!
My mini review: *snip*
I'm so excited that we are coming to BCV! June 2-9. It's our first time renting DVC points. I'm hoping that DH falls in love with DVC and we just have to become members
What is the difference between the Beach Club and Yacht club? We stayed at BC years ago and loved it, thought we would try something new. Major differences???
I'm booked in a YC CL Water View room, our first time at YC CL. This is the info I see:
Standard View Club Level= can sleep 5+
Garden/Courtyard View Club Level=
Lagoon View Club Level= can sleep 4+
which leads me to assume there are not many/any daybeds in the CL Water View rooms? I am willing to give up my view for the daybed. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to look at a dumpster (Lol) but we really need the daybed so my 2 teens can each have a bed.
Also assuming GV has some daybeds but not many, which is why it's blank/unknown for sure. This would also be true for our experience with BC CL where we usually had to book SV to have best chance at daybed.
Thanks!!
Where do you normally love to stay and why do you pick that resort?So I booked a bounceback in October for Yacht Club next August. When I booked it, YC was the only deluxe that could sleep five that we could get (traveling with SIL and her family, which is a family of 5). I have to admit, YC doesn't seem very appealing to me. Has anyone stayed there and not been all that excited about it but found it was much better than they expected? The only part I'm really looking forward to is Stormalong Bay - and the refurbished rooms look nice too.

In the Beach Club, is there any sort of a door between the vanity/sink area and the rest of the room? Based on the pictures and videos I’ve looked at, I think the answer is no, but I am hoping I am wrong. Thanks!
Though the BC rooms do not have a divider, guests have been known to put up something like a temporary clothes line with suction cups, and then drape or attach a lightweight sheet, etc., as a privacy divider.In the Beach Club, is there any sort of a door between the vanity/sink area and the rest of the room?
