We stayed at the Beach Club during the 4th of July period a few years ago. They had lot of fun activities at both SAB and on the beach oh the 4th. MK was having special fireworks on both July 3rd and July 4th, so we went to MK on the 3rd. And then we were able to walk in and out of Epcot for their 4th of July fireworks. The Epcot fireworks on the 4th had a great ending and we were really glad we decided to go to Epcot on the 4th.We are booked for BC July 4th week! Any survival tips for 4th of July? That is my DH's actual birthday and Epcot is his favorite park so I think he will love the convenience of BC. We have plenty of other park days so I was thinking on the 4th we would do Stormalong Bay (it can only get so busy, right? RIGHT??), have a leisurely lunch and nap, and then head into Epcot in the afternoon/evening to grab drinks/birthday dinner/fireworks. I'm expecting total madness at the park, but do you think I should be concerned about them reaching capacity? I saw the fireworks dining packages, does anyone think they are worth it? I have 3 little kids, they are not super adventurous so the price for them to not eat much is kinda steep. I am pretty experienced with getting last minute Epcot fireworks viewing but we have not seen the new Luminous show yet.
I just wanted to make sure you knew that Stormalong Bay pool will be closed on your dates?We are also booked for 2025! We will be in two rooms at BC Jan 20-25, 2025. Our first stay at BC as many years ago we stayed at YC. This is also our first split stay as we will be at CBR Jan 15-20. (also our first stay at CBR). It's a triple first

Actually, on page 1 of this thread, there are room maps for both Yacht & Beach Club resorts. It is the previous standard, garden & waterview room listings. But it was more accurate for those than TP.
Weren't 5648 and 5650 used for the expansion of the Stone Harbor Club Lounge?I suppose it's possible that the room maps on page 1 of this thread are more accurate than what TP has. If you have a specific example for Beach Club, please let me know.
TP gets its info directly from Disney, in spreadsheet form, including bedding configurations, connecting rooms, balcony configuration, and ADA accommodations.
I did TP's updates for BC and BCV last month. Like I said, if I missed something, please let me know. Disney's great about accepting corrections, too. They're fantastic to work with.
Regarding those maps on page 1 - I've spot-checked ours and Disney's data against them. One thing I remember is having to track down BC room 5650 on that map, because neither our data nor Disney's had a room 5650.
Disney says the room was removed in 2014. I haven't walked the hall yet to verify that, but the maps on page 1 of this thread might need updating.

Wow, Len Testa's in the Yacht & Beach Club thread!!!I suppose it's possible that the room maps on page 1 of this thread are more accurate than what TP has. If you have a specific example for Beach Club, please let me know.

My DW likes to sleep to white noise. The Amazon Alexa device offers this option for her at home. Does anyone know if the "Hey Alexa" device at YC would offer white noise for sleep? I assume so if it works like a normal Alexa but was curious if anyone tried this feature with this device at a YC room.
BTW, I assume the "Hey Alexa" works uniformly across all Disney Resorts.
I've been afraid to try the free version of this app because I'm worried about ads. Is that a thing? I can't think of anything that would ruin a good night's sleep faster than my white noise taking a time out to play an ad.I can't answer your specific question regarding the Alexa device but......
We always sleep with white noise. We usually pack our Marpac sound machine. If we forget, we use a phone app called White Noise Lite. It is free and has many different "noises" to choose from. My fav is called Brown Noise. There is an upgraded paid version of the app but we have never felt the need to upgrade.
I believe so. I stayed in a renovated studio on the third floor in late January. I also think I read on the DCV board that everything was done a few months ago.Hello! We’re checking in to the BCV at the end of May - have all the rooms refurbishments been completed? I’d prefer a refurbished room but hate to clutter my room request if it’s a moot point.
(I apologize if this was answered on a previous page - I went several pages back and didn’t see an update.)
Fantastic - thank you so much for your response!I believe so. I stayed in a renovated studio on the third floor in late January. I also think I read on the DCV board that everything was done a few months ago.
