Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

[Wood Nymph]

Hey Disney has come to YC.

Hey Disney was in our room at the Beach Club. We also ignored it.

Does anyone know if Hey Disney is in the BCV too?

If you don’t want it listening you can turn off the mic, if you don’t want it running at all you can simply unplug it.

Does the device only operate when plugged in or does it have a battery?

Will housekeeping remove the device if requested?

Yes.

or does it have a battery?

No, no battery.

Will housekeeping remove the device if requested?

I don't believe so. My parents asked and housekeeping told them they couldn't take them out of the room and to just unplug it.

1. Yes, no battery, just unplug it.

2. Didn’t try. I would not risk it because if housekeeping lost your device or whatever the bottom says you’ll be charged $150.

Thank you both for your responses.

After spending the first part of our trip away from home (boardwalk and akl) we're finally back at the Beach Club! Absolutely beautiful here, got a great view again, and really like the new look of the room.

Does anyone know if booking through a third party (Expedia, Priceline, etc) lessens the chance of a room request being granted? Hoping to get a daybed in the room. We are not a family of 5, but are traveling with two teenagers and the daybed would be nice.

Will you please share what type of room this is?

Thank you!

I used Priceline at YC twice and was upgraded to water view once. I've never gotten a bad room using Priceline at any WDW resort, but my requests are usually pretty mundane -- quiet room, queen beds, stuff like that.

I see a lot of my fellow BCV owners are ignoring the Alexa Disney advices but my 6 and 8 year olds REALLY loved them at Poly. It will tell stories and ask trivia questions. I suggest giving it a chance before unplugging.

This is the one bedroom suite.

This is the one bedroom suite.

Just confirming, that’s on the hotel side, right? I had not seen pics of those rooms getting a pull down sofa with the recent renovations, that’s a big upgrade to that room setup.

Would you be able to post bathroom or other pics if you have a moment? Thank you!

Yup, the hotel side. I'll go get some more pictures and post them. This is an accessible room so the layout may be different from other one bedroom suites.

Please pardon the mess we made, but here are some more pictures. Got the Murphy bed and the sleeper sofa open. One odd thing is there are no tables in the living room area, so we ended up using the luggage stand to put my phone on at night so it could plug into the plugs on the side of the Murphy bed.

I didn’t realize that the one bedroom suites had a legitimate door to the bedroom. I always thought it was French doors with a curtain. That’s a big improvement. The room looks nice. You’ve got a lot of sleeping surfaces. Is it a CL access room?

I hadn't realized it either, the pictures I had seen before checking in all showed that double French door. It was definitely nice having that solid door between the rooms! The only thing I wish they would change is to add a half bath, only one bath can be tricky in the morning with three of us in the room! And yup, this room has club level access.

Yay on the CL Yes, the rooms definitely looks improved from the pics I’ve seen. The Murphy bed looks much nicer than those fold out couches and the real door is key. A half bath would be a nice addition. Enjoy your trip b

Doing research for June, 2024. Is there a difference between Standard view and Resort view at the Beach club (non-DVC)? Thanks!
