May God grant you his peace and comfort Dee and family. Mark, you and your family will be in my prayers.

I have just booked a cabana. We are a family of 4 adults so ideally wanted to request cabana 3 or 4. However the CM on the phone said that I cannot request a specific number. Can anyone advise how and when they were able to make a request please? Shall I ask at reception when we check in? Thanks

Unless they have recently changed booking procedures, the CM is mistaken - you book the cabana number at the time of booking. May want to call back and talk to someone else if you have some time.

I just booked two cabana days yesterday for our September trip and was able to book cabana 4 no problem. Suggest you call back, if you wait until you check in the cabanas will likely already be assigned.

Oh no!! Im gutted, I bet I have missed those cabanas now. I called at the right time at 60 days and hung on for an hour. I can't get through now. I will be so angry if I have missed out. Thanks

I don't really know Dee as I have only intermittedntly psted here the past few years. But sending her all my best thoughts. I hate this news for anyone, but especially someone who seems so upbeat and positive (a rarity on internet boards). Please be well

So sorry for your lose Dee- after all the years on this thread I feel like we are all family

Just checked into the Yacht Club. I'm pretty disappointed in the room. Its pretty worn, but there is a ton of mold in the grout in the shower. Gross. We've been waiting for this room since 12. And my 3 year old has already fallen asleep. Not sure if its worth it to complain or try to switch at this point.

If there is sanitary concerns with the room, you need to call housekeeping and the front desk too. They need to be notified, ASAP. That's not acceptable.

If you do decide that you want to try to switch, my advice (not that you asked for it) would be:
a) Use your phone to take a picture of the mold, then
b) Go down to the front desk and show them the picture.

Do NOT try to call the front desk on the phone. Common wisdom here is that your phone will be answered by an off-site call center (even if they answer it with "Yacht Club").

My husband went down and talked to the front desk and they switched us right away! Not sure how it passed any housekeeping inspection that way. 2nd room is perfect!

Hi, First I am very sorry to hear of Dee’s loss. My prayers for her and her family.

So last week got a little pixie dust. My 60 day window opened on 7/7. But since I really wanted a cabana on Labor Day….I thought I’d call a day early, just in case. Was told the hold time was 55 min. After 90 minutes a CM came on. Booked the cabana (#4 ), which I had no idea which one it was til I found a picture earlier in this thread. AND then he agreed to make my dining reservations! Got exactly what I wished for! First time I haven’t had to adjust my wish list,

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Yesterday’s news has had me struggling for thoughts and words. I don’t know Dee or her family personally, only online. Hard to enjoy something when others are suffering, but I pour one out in remembrance.

 

[DisneyGirlMI]

We haven't had any problem in the late afternoon and early evenings. I imagine around 3 is the time most people take a break from the parks. That being said, we are about to go down now and we will see if that is still holding true today.

That’s usually when we are there as well and we don’t usually have a problem. Starting around 4 or 5 it gets better. Evenings are good.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

I guess I missed this, but fireworks cruises must be back? That didn’t take long.

Prayers for Dee and her family. I’ve been following this thread for many years and Dee is truly a ray of sunshine and positivity on the boards.

Dee, I hope you can feel the love and prayers coming your way

Yup, confirmed yesterday when I called for the cabanas. Only booking through the end of July currently, but should be able to book beyond that soon.

 

[DisneyGirlMI]

I just wanted to let everyone here know that Dee’s ( Natebenma) dear husband of 35 years passed away suddenly yesterday from a heart attack. Dee asked that I let you know. She is understandably heartbroken and devastated by Mark’s death as are their 2 boys. Please keep her and all the family in your thoughts and prayers

Dee- I am so sorry to hear this! You and your boys will be in my thoughts and prayers.

The exterior work around YC has moved on the more central areas.

Dee - I was sorry to hear about your family's loss. Stay strong and know your Dis family appreciates all you do for us.
