It depends on your room category. Room 5163 has no balcony it has side windows overlooking the Gazebo. It is a Standard view room.Staying in Yacht Club CL next week and our only strong preference is for a full balcony
You have an excellent chance of getting a full balcony since there is only one CL room that doesn't have one.Staying in Yacht Club CL next week and our only strong preference is for a full balcony, is it still true that pretty much all of these rooms have full balconies or should I try to add the request to our reservation?

I’m so happy to be back on this thread- I last stayed at Beach Club in 2017! Which would you choose- full balcony, elevator, or king bed?
Really depends on the time of year of your visit. A balcony in August is not always fun.I’m so happy to be back on this thread- I last stayed at Beach Club in 2017! Which would you choose- full balcony, elevator, or king bed?
Full Balcony all the time. Ideally, full balcony with king bed. I get them at the YC all the time, at the beach club it’s mostly king beds, harder in my opinion to get full balconies. Good luck.I’m so happy to be back on this thread- I last stayed at Beach Club in 2017! Which would you choose- full balcony, elevator, or king bed?

I am a teacher and can only go in June, July, or the first week in August. A balcony is still a must for me. Either early in the morning or later at night, I enjoy taking it all in. I just really enjoy a little outdoor space all my own.June!
Full day onlyAre cabanas still full day rental only? Or are they allowing 1/2 rentals again?
If you forgot your diffuser you can just ask your significant roommate to hold the blow dryer from a distance while you run back and forth across the breeze like Celine Dion at one of her concerts (Your hairbrush can double as your mic).It isn't super humid in Florida in February. We just got back on Thursday and it was sunny skies most of the time.
The hair dryers are good, but if you need a diffuser you may want to bring your own.
Lol, we were there in August and I spent tons of time on the balcony!Really depends on the time of year of your visit. A balcony in August is not always fun.

I’m curious about this too. We’ve already rented a cabana and we were told it’ll be available to us regardless of when we get there. We are considering walking away for lunch and then coming back. I’m sure it’ll be no problem to alert the CMs that we will be back.First is it 7 am ET for cabana rental to call?
Also, has anyone rented a cabana for the day . Then for a few hours walked over to Epcot then come back to the cabana?
If you have it from 10am to 7 pm .
Yup, 7am ET to book, and yup we've headed over to Epcot for lunch during our Cabana days. It's no problem, once you have it booked, it is yours for the entire day (well 10-7 at least). One time we were there the people at the cabana next to us didn't even show up until about 3 in the afternoon!First is it 7 am ET for cabana rental to call?

Perfect! Thank you. Is there an AP discount?Yup, 7am ET to book, and yup we've headed over to Epcot for lunch during our Cabana days.

I will say though if you plan to leave for a bit closer to the end of the day you may want to just let the CM know you plan to be back, we've noticed when other people have been gone from their cabanas for a while around 6pm the CMs will start cleaning up and breaking that cabana down for the day.
