Just back last night from six days at the Beach Club!
Honestly, I feel like a broken record, but once again we had a fantastic trip! We were a party of six adults and two rooms - we booked the magical deal and were upgraded to an AWESOME garden view, connecting rooms, daybeds, on the second floor, rooms 2577 and 2579 (Scott, I think we were right across from each other overlooking the courtyard!). I'll post pics of our view, which in my opinion should be a water view, it was just gorgeous. As many can attest who are there now, we were VERY lucky with the weather - although it was hotter than hot, there was very little rain. We travel this time every year and it's always iffy. We did all four parks, had lots of time at SAB, and were out there all afternoon for the eclipse. I was very happy I brought our eclipse glasses with us, it was AMAZING to watch - we shared them with everyone around us, and I thought it was very cool. A a party of six, I thought we would have no shot at finding lounge chairs together, but we did every afternoon. I didn't find it as crowded as in year's past.
We had great experiences with the BC CM's; everyone was friendly and accommodating. We called every morning to request early housekeeping before noon and we got it every day. The Marketplace was hectic as ever, and although I was surprised by the lack of offerings (where did the sandwiches go?) I was happy to see the make-your-own salad. And HOORAY I was able to get the wedge salad at the Crew's Cup which I ate twice! The YC market had great food and beverage selections and as a very early riser I loved the 6:00 am opening, but I don't know - something about it just seems blah to me....like it doesn't really belong there. It needs more stuff in it - like there's big open spaces in the middle.
I also did not find the parks overly crowded - we did rope drop most days, sat at the pool all afternoon and went back out at night. I have to say, I just love walking around the Epcot resort area at night, it is so beautiful and fun! We ate at California Grill, did the Fireworks Dessert Party at MK (loved this!), 'Ohana, Trader Sam's, Tutto Gusto, Chefs de France, Chef Mickey's, Be Our Guest, Yak and Yeti, and lots of other lounges around the property. Great experiences at all...
LOVED LOVED Pandora (you must go in both the day and at night) and Flight of Passage was by far the most unbelievable experience! It totally lives up to what everyone is saying about it. If you don't get a fast pass for it, figure out a way to ride!
Let me know if you have any questions!

We're doing it instead of a sit down dinner both Thursday & Friday next week so I'm not sure we will want a lunch that Saturday in addition. The ice cream might be really welcome in the heat...!
