I have a ways to go before paid off! Congratulations!!!Just booked our Southwest flight for our December trip! Trip is completely paid off! We're so excited! Beach club here we come!!
We sold a piece of land that I inherited otherwise it would have been quite some time before it was paid off, lol.I have a ways to go before paid off! Congratulations!!!
I have been meaning to go through a lot of these pages - got through I think about 50 - 100 of them shortly after we booked back in January, but then have gotten sidetracked. Sorry if this question has been covered:
I'm curious about the room layouts. I've seen a layout view for the 2 queen rooms that shows a table on the opposite wall. The videos on YouTube I've seen though show those all with a couch opposite the beds and no table in the room. The 1 King rooms seem to all have the table (from the videos). Has anyone seen rooms with 2 queens and a table?
Does anyone know if the rapid refill in the BC marketplace is the new machine that is computerized. I know they have one in Yacht Club but I like the idea of being able to get seltzer and powerade rather than soda all of the time
We have a cabana eserved for my 50th birthday in August. Were you able to request cabana 4? I would love to be further back from the pool but not sure how to ask for it.
What are the sizes of the beds in a studio villa at BC? I see that it says queen online but I had a friend recently stay at AKL and their studio only had a double bed. Thanks!
Quick question about visitors to BC. I just got word that my aunt is driving up from Ft. Lauderdale to see us on our arrival day. Is it correct to assume she will have to pay the daily parking fee? Is it $35? We are CL so I know she won't be allowed to come into the lounge, but could we grab a bite by the pool area?
Thanks for posting about your experience. I hope you had a nice visit with your relatives.Following up on my question since I'm here not and got my answer... it was a hard "No" by 2 CMs that they could not join us in the CL lounge. First I asked at the front desk and the CM said yes but there must have been supervisor at the next counter space because she piped right up an said no (sort of with a tude). Then I asked again up at the lounge and was told no. No big deal of course. We ended getting take out from marketplace and hanging out in the solarium for a long time.
They didn't have to pay parking though and they came back twice.
While they left to check into their hotel we checkout CL lounge until our room was ready. Nice area.

if you are by chance in a standard view room, please take a pic of the view and the room number. I'm trying to figure out which of the standard view rooms has the best view.
We have the same view booked and are going in a few weeks. I’d love to see the views to get an idea of what to ask for. Same on the food. I’m in the midst of canceling some ADR’s and trying to get a sense of if the food options in CL will be enough.
Have a great trip.
I’m not who you were asking, but I’ll include the view from room 5186 YC SV CL taken JUNE 2018. One of the photos shows the shared balcony from our balcony, we were 2 doors down from it (I think).

to posting on the thread!
Do you have an upcoming trip booked? When/Which resort?
As far as reading through the thread, I usually suggest you check out the posts on Page 1- lots to see there and many links that will take you down different roads. Then catch up on the last few pages (10-20-30). You can also make use of the "search function" if there is something in particular you want to know about.
And of course, keep checking in and keeping up with current posts!
Here’s some pics of our room and view
September 17-21 yacht club
Does anyone know if something is going on at Cape May on 10/30? I'm still shocked that there are no dinner reservation times at all that night! (Since my 180 day mark...) Ugh, this is my husband's must do and we missed it last time so I really need to get it in, but rearranging plans is making it difficult!
Thank you! I did read the first page (several times) - and thank you for it - it's great stuff. We are booked at Yacht Club 8/11 - 8/19 for a Garden View room.
Honestly, the one thing I'm having a tough time with is what kind of room requests to make. Our last two trips with the kids (we did a kid-free long weekend last summer at Coronado) were at Wilderness (April 2018) and Polynesian (August 2017), and we had a very good handle on what we wanted for rooms. We learned what to really ask for and got lucky both times. (Poly it was 3rd floor and close to main Ceremonial House - we had a room in the first building next to it on the 3rd floor. WL we got a great room - 2nd from top floor, almost to the end which gave us a great fireworks view.)
With Yacht Club, we're having a much more difficult time figuring out what we really should try to go for as far as room requests. From what we can tell, there don't seem to be those rooms that are so much better located than others or the rooms where it's a lower category but you're really getting an upgraded view, etc.
Just upgraded from Pop to Yacht Club for our November trip to Food & Wine... SO EXCITED! We got a water view so I’m hoping for a gorgeous view of the lake. Can’t wait to check out Stormalong Bay and the gondolas!
We just switched to standard view BC from savannah view AKL for our December trip. We saved around 3k and I've always wanted to stay at both resorts so I'm happy with the switch. I know the weather may be to cool to swim but the boys are going to flip when they see the pool!
I have to admit I don't know a lot about the BC because I didn't think we'd ever be able to stay there. I'm excited to do lots of research in the next 6 months!
@Laurieannc and @jemtx there are around 10 entries for Yacht Club Standard View club level rooms there. In the Standard View index, these are the room numbers on the 5th floor, 5XXX.

Coffee maker in BC rooms? Do I need k-cups?
I'm curious about this too. I know they were changing them and want to be sure I order the right pods for our trip in September.
It's booked, flights are confirmed! Mid-August vacation! We are FINALLY getting to stay at BC resort!! I'm still amazed how expensive things have become, I remember the good old days where we could score 7 nights at a Deluxe with dining for 2 adults/3 kids for under 3k...Now, it's 4 nights for 5 adults at over 5k (not counting airfare- but that was gratis because I gave up my seat 3x back in March- WORTH IT!) but that includes dining- I booked the Chase dining deal and have booked all our restaurants (Teppan Edo- never been there, Grand Floridian Café- been there once, but need those shrimp and grits!, Cinderella's Castle- been there twice, but this time purely going because it's smack dab in the middle of the park and hey- it's a castle!, Cape May Café- never been, and some place in AK-Yak and Yeti?)
Having never been to BC/YC (we've stayed at OKW, POR, Poly, ContR, AKL), I'll be going through all these posts looking for tips. I did request balcony, we have a Woods/Garden view...looking for tips on how to enjoy this resort. We are mom/dad and kids are all college aged, we love slides...wondering the best time of day to enjoy the pool....I'm assuming August is the WORST weather month for heat, but we're used to heat living in south Texas now. Are there any events scheduled at the resort? Game rooms- my kids love board games/card games? Any tours that tell cool things about the resort? This will likely be our one and only trip here, so want to plan it all out- we are HORRIBLE, we plan out every hour!!! Daughter was in the college program, so she is itching to get back and see the new changes since just last year- she has already planned out our fastpasses that can't be booked for another 2 weeks. Just to let you know the excitement around here...if you have any tips your family loved about BC- please share!! This trip is a redo for a family cruise that ended on day one last December...medical emergency. We are ready to celebrate healing!!
That's by far the best and most important feature!
We should come up with some Y&B specific combinations.
I'll start with a few for the restaurants:

🛥
Love it!!!!Who can figure this one out? (It was the best I could do with the emojis available)
