What’s best rooms at beach club villas? Studio? Just 2 of us
I have never stayed at the BCV so my only comments come from reading what others who have stayed there have said.
In general, views at the BCVs are not great.
Near elevators- noisy
View of Pool- can also be noisy, but maybe that depends on the time of year.
All rooms have full-size balconies, with some being larger or gigantic.
Do you prefer a low floor or high floor or doesn't it matter?

Do people use the pools in December? Are the pools heated (not just the hots tubs)?
We have not been in December before so not sure if we should pack the suits or not.
thanks in advance!
Is your upcoming stay at the Yacht Club or Beach Club Villas?
There's not really a way to know ahead of time what the weather will be like. I always think you should pack 'em and hope for the best!
We ended up going to the Beaches & Cream window for some milkshakes and then headed to swim. About 5 minutes after getting into the water, they closed the pool.
Luckily that didn’t last long and lights came back on everywhere. This was around 7:30. So, the whole thing really only lasted ~30 minutes. I did grab some quick photos of the dark side of the resort. The lobby lights stayed on, as did a few of the outdoor white lights

I tried to attach the full photos, but kept getting errors that they were too large and I have no idea how to resize them on the phone, so I just have the screenshots
Thanks for the pictures!
The long-timers on this thread will remember when we used to refer to the Yacht Club as "The Dark Side". When our friend Teena was working as a greeter at the BC, she would occasionally refer to the YC that way, because the lobby was less lively and exciting to her. There were fewer people and families hanging around in the lobby than you would find in the BC lobby, waiting for Cape May Cafe or going to the Beach Club Marketplace.
Your pictures brought a smile to my face! (I'm glad the power outage did not last long)
We're a month out from our first YC stay (fingers crossed). Has anyone had luck calling the hotel to make special requests? Specifically, I don't want a shared balcony, and since we're paying for a water view, I would love it to face the lake instead of other rooms. Thank you! We're going 12/6-12/13.
to the thread!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1, Post 15.
Others have given advice about making room requests. The shared balconies at the YC are in the standard view category, so you shouldn't be assigned to any of the rooms that have one.
We are set to arrive on Sunday. The same day the weather is supposed to get bad because of "Eta". Are the hookups on the TVs accessible? Has anyone has recent experiences with using a Roku at the YC? is it even worth bringing?
I didn't see that you received a response before your trip. IIRC, you are able to access the panel to connect devices to the tv. Did you find that to be the case?
Anyone have an update as to how busy Stormalong Bay is now? We are planning on going during Thanksgiving week but worry about spacing at the pool. Thanks!
Others have posted that since the recreation staff is limiting the number of people allowed to enter SAB, and have spaced chair groups so that families are socially distanced from each other, that it does not feel crowded.
BUT, during Labor Day weekend, the pool needed to limit access when there were already too many people there. I don't think the restricted access lasted very long though.
I don't think the same thing happened on Columbus Day weekend. (Someone correct me if I am wrong)
Hard to know what the pool crowd will be for Thanksgiving trips. It may be very dependent on the weather.
So bummed spent 5 hours on the phone rescheduling our trip to next month December 2020 we were suppose to check in tomorrow but due to the storm and the weather forecast for the week we decided to post pone. I guess this should not surprise me this is 2020 after all!!!!
Quick question how is it getting a walk up at beaches and cream can you do take out from there as well.
I'll adjust the info for your trip on the Be Our Guest list.
You've just blown my diet LOL! Yummy!
to posting on the thread!!!
Do you have an upcoming trip to the resort planned?
