Trying so hard to add a night at BC, april 28. Man, resort availability is getting scarce!!
December is always unpredictable. When we were in WDW Nov 30 to Dec 5, 2013 we had weather mostly in the low 70's. We went swimming a couple of times during the high of the day, but mostly it was a little too chilly during the rest of the time.
Has anyone who has stayed in early December comment on what the weather will be like for using the pools? We were at CBR in early December once and my hubby and Daughter swam, but it was too cold for me. I didn't know if that was normal or not? I had friends there last year at that time who said it was hot. This is our first stay at BC so we are hoping to be able to use the pool.
We still have 2 weeks to go here in the UK. I've just realised I loose an hours sleep the night before we go on a road trip to Oxford.I just want to express my remorse and sorrow for those staying at the YC/BC/BCV this weekend. They have to pay full rate yet they lose one hour of their vacation tonight. It just doesn't seem right, does it? You think the Mouse would do something like open all parks one hour earlier on Sunday. Only seems fair.

We saw parents forwarding them to others when they were leaving to return home from vacation. Same thing with some pool noodles.There were a few when we were there last, but not sure if they "belonged" to someone or not? We just purchased the kids meal at the pool (comes in a bucket with a shovel) so we had our own

hey...easy here....it's satire, and he's not serious. lighten up a bit.Oh please. This is such a stretch. Losing an hour over the course of 8 days is just so trivial. If you have to complain that you should get a discount because the clocks moved forward, maybe you need to rethink your finances. Just saying.
This is such a stretch.
And we were there those exact same dates in 2015 and swam almost every day!!December is always unpredictable. When we were in WDW Nov 30 to Dec 5, 2013 we had weather mostly in the low 70's.

Wow, it's been quite a while since I've been here! So much has changed, both here and in our lives, that everything feels new and exciting again!
We just celebrated an early St. Patrick's Day dinner with my wife's family and talk started to turn to another Disney adventure. This would be a pretty large trip, with approximately 12-15 people going, along with our nephew, our soon-to-be-here niece due in early August, and most importantly, our own Disney Princess in late August! I often find myself holding back from talking about our growing family simply because we had gone through soo many struggles to finally start a family that I don't want to jinx it. Having said that, these are huge reasons to celebrate, and I can't wait to get back to my favorite place on Earth!
A couple of logisitical questions...I know I could probably get more answers on other threads, but I genuinely like this place the most!
1. We're looking to head down in early May 2017, so I'll have just over a year to prepare everything. We are DVC members, but I am looking for at least 2 2BR villas to accommodate everyone and we'll need to rent points to have enough to secure this size of a reservation. Can I use one of the DVC rental sites to transfer points DVC owners are willing to rent out to my account so I can make the reservation myself?
2. How likely is it that we would be able to get 2 2BR villas next to or close to each other? I' figuring we would share one of the villas with my brother in law and his family since we would be the ones with the kids that need to run around without causing chaos around everyone else. However, I know Grandma and Grandpa will want to be around a ton, so I want to keep them close, especially on those nights when we want to head to Jellyrolls to let off some steam!
I know I'll have a ton more questions, but I'm glad that my Disney fix is getting stoked again. Great to see everyone again!
If anyone gets a newly done BCV room, please share more photos. I love the new decor.
I am currently in a studio in BCV on the 5th floor. It looks like they may be done with the wing on this floor. There is no construction wall blocking it off, and you can see the new carpeting as you walk by.
Got checked in yesterday (friday) at 11am. We did on line check in, but never got the email or text for the room. However, when I went to the desk, our room was ready right away.
The room condition is awesome. Never would one suspect a refresh is scheduled later this year. We got a high floor as requested, and our "garden view" is overlooking the yacht club quiet pool and a side view of the tennis courts.
We hit SAB yesterday for a few ours to relax after check in. Water was cool but refreshing. Not crowded at all. SAB is open until 10pm this week.
We hit EPCOT and I would judge it as a 6 in crow level. Had FP+ for Figment and spaceship earth, and didn't use them. Standby was no wait. Test track wasted, but not uber crowded.
Tepan Edo was dinner and we enjoyed it.
That is about it. I will post some pictures tonight.

I'm (coming) back! Just booked 6/28-7/2 YC! This is a pre-beach stay. Can't wait!
Going to YC CL for the first time on our honeymoon in May I grew up staying at the Beach Club with my family, so I'm excited to try a new place!

I know you said you liked it here best and I understand that, but you may get the answers to your DVC questions better answered on the DVC forums.
We are DVC owners too. But I do not feel like an expert in transfer questions. I don't think most of t he rental brokers deal in point transfers though
As far as 2 2 BR Villas being near each other that would be a request and like any and all other requests it will depend on availability at the time of check in. Which resort(s) are you looking at. The bigger the resort - OKW & SSR - I would think the easier that might be. But you can not count on it.
Congratulations on your expanding family and have fun planning
Are Guest staying at BC allowed to use the billard table at BCV?They have a very nice room in the villas building called the Drawing Room which has a billiard table. They also have the Solarium in the Beach Club which might be considered a community hall.
