Thanks for the great review, your live postings and your helpful info about the shopping app1!
Look forward to seeing you back again!
Thank you for your review.
That was the case, but recently a resort guest was told that there were no clocks in storage for the rooms. I don't know if that was a unique experience or new policy.
Thanks again for keeping us up to date about the bus situation.
Happy Birthday Paige!!!
Nice to know there are still a few towel animals out in their natural habitat.
to the thread.
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1.
I agree with other posters- a request of "near lobby elevator" is probably best for easy access to SAB.

We arrived home last night also after a ten night stay! So sad to leave, but we had an awesome trip. Agree the ice machines in the marketplace were never working anytime we were there. Also the lemonade working was hit or miss with our refillable mugs. Picked up all five mugs when we arrived and had them activated, four had an expiry date of August 31(14 days) while one had sept 14. Thought that was strange. Housekeeping was awesome and although we didn't have any towel animals like previous trips the housekeeper arranged the stuffed toys we already had in cute formations each day. Wished marketplace opened at 6:30 am as we were usually gone by 7 each day. Walked over to Boardwalk bakery several times since they did open at 6:30 and then would catch the bus from there. Took a mears van from BC to typhoon and that was great. Cost $13 with tip. We were there in 12 minutes. We had six people and needed one car seat. The back entrance to Epcot had everyone going through the metal detector every time we were there and they even sent my kids through it. I was confused as I thought kids didn't go through, but I guess they were just keeping security random. They had to entice my 2 year old with a sticker. I loved the park shopping app. Bought a bunch of stuff on that we were looking at in different stores. I was able to order all of it in one place and since the total was above $50 got the 10% off even though if I bought all the items separately at the different stores I wouldn't be able to do that. Then I had it sent to the marketplace to save the shipping. Picked it up next day! I did call for the bounceback offer for next year since I had the old offer in my room. We would have to get two rooms next year, they did not have any rooms at BC available for free dining this same week next year except deluxe club level. I don't think we could do concierge and free dining, way too much food. So we decided we will wait and see if room discounts come out next year. Now off to watch the three hours of video we took over 11 days!!! With goofy fruit snacks of course!!

Hi all, we are about to end our 5 night stay here at the BC. We check out tomorrow and check into the Polynesian for another 5 days. We are in room 3610, which is very convenient to the Marketplace and pool area, we're pretty close to the elevators. The room and resort are very nice, pool area is great. We checked in on Wednesday and unfortunately our room wasn't ready until after 4pm, so we waited a few hours in the lobby, since we got here at 2. Tonight we had to wait 40 minutes for a bus to animal kingdom when we arrived to the bus stop at 3:35pm. We also had to wait 45 minutes for a bus back to the resort from the AK. People in line were really complaining with many of them leaving the line and going onto the Boardwalk/dolphin bus when it arrived. We saw 3 Carribbean beach buses and at least 2 buses come and leave to all of the resorts around pickup at AK. Don't know what was wrong today with the buses to/from AK for the beach club? We had a rental car before today, so I am not sure if the buses were really that good to the other areas. I also think the BC needs to expand it's food court (Marketplace). Today at lunchtime they had 2 women working for sandwiches/pizza at the Marketplace and the line got long. I just think for a deluxe resort they should have a bit of a better selection and a bigger area where people can get their food and leave. The line moved very slow. The resort itself is beautiful and in a great location. Thanks for the tip on room 1501. It was super helpful when we wanted to stay out of the sun/heat. The weather here this week has been absolutely great, hasn't gone over 90 and yesterday we were in epcot and the weather was great. Very surprised at how nice the weather has been.
Thank you for your review.
I know in the Villas you can request a clock and have no reason to think you can't do the same for the hotel. Call housekeeping.

We've had a very busy day today celebrating DDs 12th birthday. Breakfast at Cape May where DD was pleased to get a birthday cupcake and card, followed by a very full day at Magic Kingdom. When we left our room this morning another guest just along the corridor asked if the hotel had decorated for us. No - it's just us mad Brits (see the photo below).
We just missed a bus (there are no signs on the back of the bus as you approach them at the Convention Centre). The next bus had been to the Swolphin, picked us up at Yacht, went to Beach and filled up. We then went to Boardwalk and someone got off! This was at 9.40am.
We had dinner at Beasts Castle and DD managed to loose a tooth! She did get done celebratory grey stuff and a card from Belke and the Beast.
Now back in the room and we have a towel animal.
Thanks again for keeping us up to date about the bus situation.
Happy Birthday Paige!!!

I'm sure this question is buried in this thread a bunch of times, but I'm having trouble weeding through the 650 pages today with very limited time I have available. Can someone give me quick advice?
We are staying 1 night at the YC on 9/12 standard view. It is solely a pool day and I have 3 kids 9, 7, and 4. Can anyone tell me what would be a "good" room request for standard with good access to stormalong bay but still decent room view?? We won't be in the room too much, but DH and I like to use the balcony to sit and relax after kiddos go to bed. I would like to call in our request soon.
Thanks so much!!!
