Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

Was just poking around the Resorts board and noticed the 1,500 page mark. @natebenma and the folks on this thread, you all continue to make this a warm, welcoming, and very helpful corner of the DIS. Congrats on 1,500 pages!

:disrocks:
Will there be cake? :cake:

I'll raise a Sunken Treasure to that!

(Looks like I started the party a little early)

Honestly, a shoutout to all the peeps here who are so helpful in answering questions, posting pictures and completing missions to make this a kick 🐴 thread!

Extra special thanks to @TeenaS who was the glue here for so many years and remains a dear friend to me and many of us old-timers. We miss your posts and we miss you in the Beach Club lobby!

Yes, the 2021 dates are just based on future plans. I'll pencil in whatever anyone wants to the list.

Easy to adjust as plans change.


::yes::


Then pencil me in for Dec 2-10, 2021 at YC CL please. Once I lock down BC or YC I will let you know. I have to be there for the 50th year anniversary. I've been there every 5 year anniversary beginning on year number 10! I couldn't miss this milestone!

Amen to that sentiment, ESPECIALLY the part about Teena. I miss her so much. I know it's hard for her to step back in time to when she worked at the BC and got to see so many friends. The good news is that she is now working full time for her granddaughter Lily. Just think of how lucky that little girl is to have such a special Nanny! :hug:

I am way overdue on a Teena update.

No surprise, she is very busy in Las Vegas, with her daughter Jeanne and granddaughter Lily (age 8!!!).

During the school year, she helps teachers grade papers AND she just got her license to be a substitute teacher in the state of NV. Most Wednesdays you can find her at Senior Days at one of the casinos- they offer low price activities and movies.

She travels as much as she can- Disney a few times a year or cruising mostly. She just finished up an incredible trip to NYC followed by a Celebrity cruise to Bermuda with her girls.

I'll pass along everyone's good wishes to her.

I just booked a quick 2 night stay for us at the YC for the SWGE AP previews! The AP rate finally switched to include weekends and I snagged a room this AM 8/16-8/18. I had figured we would do a value resort to make it a cheap trip, but my DH really wanted to be walking distance to the preview so I didn’t argue much :rotfl:. I was so close to booking CL, and had planned to since that’s all I saw available earlier, but when I saw water view for $350 less for the 2 nights I just couldn’t justify that price difference for only 2 quick nights where we’ll be pretty busy anyway. What should I request? I’m thinking crescent lake view since I don’t want to see the quiet pool when paying for water view, and then leave it at that. I wouldn’t mind a SAB view either, and closer to the lobby/elevators, but I’m not sure if I should muddy the water by adding that all or just keep it simple.
 


Weird question - does anyone happens to know what brand contact lens solution they sell in the hotel gift shop? Thanks!!!!

Came on here to say thanks to all the great posters that have been here through the years. I don't post as much as I once did but still love my Y&BC family.

And Dee. Thank you. I hate to think how many hours you've poured into this project. I imagine you're just grateful that you have to copy everything over every, what was it, 385 pages?

Anyway. Love Y'all.

We are flying in but not checking bags, we each will have one carry-on...can we slap the yellow tags on those and give them to the Magical Express, so we can go straight to Epcot and not have to bring them inside hotel or take them to our room? It says to put them on your checked luggage and they will be brought to room later...is what I’m asking making sense? I’m confusing myself!

The yellow tags are only for checked luggage. The yellow tagged luggage does not go on the magical express busses. It's all handled behind scenes at the airport. I would just take magical express, drop carry on's off at bell services and then walk to Epcot.

Were you thinking of taking a cab/uber/lyft to Epcot instead? I think if you do not use Magical Express you will be charged a parking fee now (someone correct me if this rule is not in effect)

We are already booked on ME, just didn’t know if the bus drivers pulled luggage out from under and set it there for bell services to carry in, makes sense checked baggage goes on a completely separate transport- I’m just happy you understood what I was asking 😂
We are doing online check in so our room may b ready when we arrive- we’ll just run to the room and drop bags off then race to Epcot to hit our fast passes. Our flight was changed by three hours which wrecked our fast passes. So far, nothing available for later, we keep checking..

:) If you are already taking ME, I think just stopping at Bell Services and checking it yourself would be the fastest. No more than an extra 5-10 minutes. BUMMER on the flight change and the fastpass squeeze! Best of luck!

Last year we only had carry ons. We took ME from the airport to the hotel. Once at the the hotel we "checked" our carry ons with bell services. They give you a receipt for your bags. Then we went straight to EPCOT. We came back to the hotel, our room was ready and we got our bags from bell servides. They will also bring your bags up to your room for you from bell service.

I don't think so. Lots of people do not use Magical Express. I don't think they are all charged for parking just because they did not use Magical Express. (But I'm DVC so the rules are different for me.)
