Beach Club room 3565
king bed, corner room, lagoon view, standing balcony on lagoon side, windows on the other wall
We had booked a garden view room and were given a free upgrade to a lagoon view.
We checked in April 15, 2015 and this room had recently been refurbished. This was a corner room and had a king bed. There was a standing balcony and you could watch the people walking by and see across the lagoon to the Boardwalk. You could also see the movie on the beach while looking out the other window. We could see the pirate slide, the Epcot boat at the dock, and the YC along with the beach without even getting out of bed.
The side window overlooked the volleyball court. The bathroom only had one sink but was otherwise a great room. We loved it. And the location near the quiet pool and the International Gateway made it very convenient. We had a staircase right next to our room, which we used most of the time.
Because it was a corner room, the room had a very long hallway. The pictures were on this long wall, which was a total waste. It would have been nice if they were in the room itself.
We were very pleased to discover that we had a corner room and a king bed. The room was very light and airy. There was a thick blackout curtain behind the lighter sheer curtain.
The room had two chairs. The rooms above and below this one have a full balcony with the door to the balcony located in the wall that would be next to the nightstand in those rooms.
The refrigerator is in that tall cabinet. The corner rooms have a different layout then the majority of the resort rooms.
All of the tops of the cabinets, nightstands and dresser had a nonporous surface. Only the desk had a wood surface.
The nightstands and desk had two outlets and two USB ports each. There were enough outlets for the two of us.
The light switch for the lamps over the bed was located just to the right of the pillow. Only the person in this location could turn on and off the light. There wasn't a light switch on the other side of the bed. The switch located below the thermostat controlled the fan. The switch for the hallway was near the door to the room. The thermostat was located above this nightstand.
The bathroom only one one sink, which did become a bit annoying at times. There is a really nice nightlight there which shines in such a way that you can find the faucets and glass if you want a drink of water in the middle of the night.
There fan in the bathroom wasn't working at this time. There was a blank outlet cover that I am guessing will eventually be the controls for the bathroom fan, since there is a vent for it in the ceiling. Maybe when the rehab is finished they will hook up the exhaust fan.
The TV was in the corner and the dresser had three good size drawers.
The room had a standing balcony and you could watch the people and boats go by without even getting out of bed.
This is the view from the bed when looking out the side windows. These windows did not open. I could see the beach, the people walking by, the movie on the beach, the Epcot boat at the boat dock, the top of the pirate slide and the YC from the bed. It was great.
This is the view from the balcony. You can see the wedding pavilion and Boardwalk in the distance. And that building just to the left has the laundry room and bathrooms at the BC quiet pool.
The quiet pool is to the left. We ended up using this pool instead of SAB because it was so convenient. There was a staircase next to our door which is close to this pool. We would go down the stairs and cut through the pool area to get to the International Gateway or to the Boardwalk. It was a great location.
This is the view from the windows on the side of the room when looking toward the beach.
This is the view looking straight out the window. That is SAB behind the trees. And that is the sidewalk to the main entrance of the BC on the lagoon side of the resort.
Room 3565 is the one with the standing balcony and the striped awning, closest to the tree on the corner, to the left in this picture. As you can see, the rooms below it had windows that didn't open and the room above it didn't have a window on the lagoon side of the room. I was glad that we got this third floor room even though it didn't have a full balcony. Having a door that opened to the lagoon side of the room was great.
Room 3565 is on the third floor, corner room. The rooms above and below have the really long balcony. There is an exit door on the first floor that opens into the bushes. You can go in and out of this door, it had a touchpad on it, but you had to walk through the grass and step over the bushes to do it. I did it once just to see if I could.
