Yup.
Thanks!
That will definitely make things extremely convenient... (my child wilts in August and the more I can keep her in A/C the happier we will both be!)
Yup.
I would choose the longer stay in the standard room, no hesitation.
We stayed at Pop this summer, our first Value Resort, and it was the first time I saw decorated windows. I LOVED it!!! And spent the rest of the morning planning what to put in the windows during our POR split stay next summer!!! We're at the Poly in a few weeks, and now I'm thinking I may have to follow your excellent example of the lights and suction cups.
Bone to pick with mousekeeping, our room was only cleaned once the entire trip after we had called to get it cleaned
Did you call Housekeeping directly? Or did you press the "front desk" button on the phone?
Bone to pick with mousekeeping, our room was only cleaned once the entire trip after we had called to get it cleaned, never had this happen before dont know if they were just short staffed this week or what was going on but that kinda ruined the whole idea to take pictures as the room was only cleaned once. and by clean only the beds were made and new towels were brought in, garbage wasnt taken out til the 2nd day after the housekeeper came at about 5pm. Hoping for better results during our Christmas Trip.
We have had this happen twice (in 30+ YC/BC trips). A few years apart. Could not detect a pattern. Our room wasn’t on the end of a hall or anything exotic. Thought maybe it was just poor planning on the housekeeping route and they mixed up who was cleaning which rooms so we just kept being skipped.Bone to pick with mousekeeping, our room was only cleaned once the entire trip after we had called to get it cleaned, never had this happen before dont know if they were just short staffed this week or what was going on but that kinda ruined the whole idea to take pictures as the room was only cleaned once. and by clean only the beds were made and new towels were brought in, garbage wasnt taken out til the 2nd day after the housekeeper came at about 5pm.

How long were you there? This is totally unexceptable. You had trash building up & no new towels?? I'd have been at the desk asking for a manger. These hotels cost a lot of money. We am paying a lot for a clean room with certain resort amenities. And to me, no trash & clean towels are very basic amenities.
During emergencies, like the hurricaine is one thing. But any other time, I want what I am paying for. Did you follow up & call daily?
60 days and counting!
Woke up early to make our FastPass selections and got almost everything we wanted when we wanted it! Thank goodness for the MDE app, because the wonderful Disney website crapped out halfway through, as usual. It really never ceases to amaze me how awful the website is. Luckily, this isn't our first rodeo, so we had iPhones and iPads ready to go.
Planning FastPasses for this trip was a little different. For the first time, DD will be big enough to start going on some of the 35" rides. The upside is that she can now do Speedway and Barnstormer; the downside is that we can't be quite as "creative" with our Rider Swap plans. It's kinda nice to be able to book four or more...
The only thing I'm still looking to tweak is our breakfast reservation at Ohana. Recent changes and general Disney moneygrubbing have resulted in Stitch not going table to table anymore, and bacon being eliminated from the menu. Due to this shocking behavior (who doesn't serve bacon at a $50/plate breakfast!?!? ) I changed my mind last week and decided to cancel Ohana and stay at BC for Minnie's Beach Blast Breakfast. Unfortunately, there are no available reservations at Cape May for that morning (or, strangely, just about anywhere else on property, for that matter). I've never been able to not track down a reservation through dedicated stalking, so we'll see.
I'm absolutely hopeless.
DH and I wanted to do Disney to see the Pandora stuff, since it wasn't open yet during our last trip which was over NYE. But Disney was going to be really expensive, and to maximize time we'd want to do that new (over-priced) AK VIP tour. So we decided to do Universal instead, since it would be cheaper, and we hadn't been since before either of the Harry Potter sections opened.
So, we booked a quick Easter long weekend trip to Universal. Thus I've got March 29 to April 2 booked at the Royal Pacific.
But today I noticed that Disney had a deal available. So now I've also got March 30 to April 2 booked at BC. And ADRs for each night. (Slow day at work equals too much time surfing the Disney sites.). But the AK tour isn't offered that weekend. Grr.
Now I'm not sure what to do. We are waiting for flights, and it's looking like that may be what decides it for us. One possible airline flies to MCO on the Thursday night and the other flies down Friday morning. Both are still way too expensive. The current plan is that whichever one goes on sale first wins, and we'll go to the park with the reservation that matches the flights. We prefer the airline that flies down on the Friday morning, but since we haven't been to Universal in nearly 20 years I'd want a full day there Friday, thus the idea of the not-so-preferred airline. For WDW, we've been enough times that a shorter stay is no problem.
Is it horrible to have two different trips booked for the same weekend? Do other people have problems committing to the idea of going somewhere other than WDW? I was perfectly fine with the idea of a Universal-only trip until the Disney deal came out. OMG, what is wrong with me?! I'm a total BC addict!
How are the mattresses at BC? Hard, soft? I see a lot people like them.
Hi everyone. I'm new here. We (my husband and I and our two teenage boys) are booked in a studio at the Beach Club Villas for April 15th-21st. This will be our first stay there and we are very excited!
We came back one week ago and I am suffering Post Disney Blues! We had a wonderful stay at the Beach Club Villas. At first I wasn't too pleased about being given a ground floor room but it actually worked out quite nicely. We were in room 128 and could walk right out our patio to the Dunes Cove pool - very convenient! The scent in the Beach Club lobby is heavenly! Only gripe is the Marketplace. Not much of a selection for food there and for half our trip the resort refillable mug station was closed so you either had to go to YC or Hurriance Hanna's. Everything else was great and we had a fun trip!
Welcome to the Dis & the Yacht & Beach Club forum!!
Yacht Club is our favorite resort. We have stayed there almost every year for over 15 years. Some years, for 2 or 3 trips. It is a wonderful resort in a great location. This forum is full of great information. Start on page 1, Dee works hard to keep it full of current information. Then jump right in & ask or chat away. No strangers here!
I will probably see you at Storm Along Bay, planning on an April 14 - 20 stay. Hoping to book a bounceback offer when we travel in December.

I don't have you on the list for this stay, so I will pencil you in advance of booking your bounceback.
