Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

[dansdad]

Considering the discussion of Disney's recent ridiculous timelines for construction/projects, how confident would you all be in booking at YC/BC for the first week of July next year and having SAB actually reopened? I know the current time frame is refurb finishing up in June, but any sort of delay potentially messes us up. I can't imagine a trip without spending at least part of the time in the Epcot resort area (our favorite), but I also can't imagine a trip in July with no feature pool. Considering the idea of booking across the way at BW, but the pool there is likely to be overrun with displaced Y&B folks if SAB is still closed.

Both CBR and POFQ had multi month pool closures for refurb and both opened on time, if that helps.

Go back to post 42,861, which said this:

"I just checked & can find not even 1 reservation for any room at YC from July 21 to November 18."

and the posts immediately following.

Editing: nobody said that YC will be closed. It's possible that it will be refurbished, which will result in some rooms being unavailable while they work on it. We have not heard anything definite yet. They might have temporarily blocked rooms from being reserved while they figure out what they're going to do.

its not closed... atleast it better not be, I have a reservation there in august!!

Thanks for posting. Any updated thoughts on that refurb theory? I started planning an extended family trip for October and wanted to put everyone at Beach Club but there wasn't enough availability there for everyone. Naturally I tried Yacht Club for the rest of the needed rooms but none were showing so I reluctantly chose Boardwalk (different pool, slightly further). Now I'm not sure if I should modify those to Yacht Club. There seems to be no escaping Crescent Lake area construction!

From January through May 2025, some Guest rooms at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort will be under refurbishment.
While Guests may see or hear construction work during daytime hours, most Resort hotel amenities will remain available.
This is from the Disney website for the YC. Nothing like this for the BC.

Does anyone know about this? Club level rooms? Are they refurbing the YC again? Maybe this is when the CL lounge will be redone.

I have a reservation for Feb 6-18 in a CL resort view room. I couldn't get a water view CL room. Maybe the water view rooms will be getting a makeover?

This coupled with SAB being closed?!?

Yeah. Just booked AKL for February instead of YC/BC. No SAB was a pain, although we could chance it since who knows if February would be warm enough for swimming anyway. But add in resort construction of unknown impact, and I’m bailing. Unless they put out a really sweet deal, of course, but they’ll need to go higher than the 35% that the AP discount tops out at.
