I'll be in beach club next september for the first time! I'm really excited to try a Deluxe resort in Disneyworld. Since I live in Italy, I have to spend really lots of money into flights and trasportation, so I always stayed at the Values resorts. But this time will be extra special
I've heard from numerous persons that the bus system at the Beach club is not really good....any tips? During my first morning I have an AR for Cinderella royal table at 7.55 and I would love to be there really early...
Oh nice, I didn't know they added the time screens there too! I knew they added them at the boardwalk inn and in some other resorts. That's really usefull
Thanks for the info!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
The bus boards are new to the resort, the last month or so.
IMHO, the buses, especially in the early morning, are not bad. However, if you encounter full buses, you may want to walk over to the YC and load there.
I have a info in the first post documenting when the AK and MK buses came from 6:30 am to 7 am on one morning in August. I would say go out early and check out when the bus boards say a MK bus will be coming. Ride to MK is about 15 minutes.
If that won't get you there in time, you can take a cab, there should be some lined up at the front of the resort. BUT, if you take a cab, you should ask for it to drop you off at the Contemporary Resort (if you can still do that, I have heard rumors that is now discouraged), because otherwise the taxis can only bring you to the TTC (Ticket and Transportation Center) and you will need to take a monorail or the ferry to the MK entrance and that will add a significant amount of time to your trip.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
I don't know if this is in the Room info post, but I was worried that my laptop would not fit in the wall safe as they are a fair bit smaller than the box ones elsewhere in WDW. I can confirm that a 15'' MacBook Pro fits' in the save with around 2 inches to spare around in all 3 dimensions
Thanks for the info. I will add your comments to the "Will it Fit?" post about the safes in Post 14, Other Useful Information.
We are at Yacht Club right now checked in on Saturday I requested a high floor close to elevator and we got both. We have standard view which is a group of trees not bad at all. I feel like the room is still in good shape no issues but I'm looking forward to the refresh
. I believe some convention folks checked in yesterday so I
We will see how much busier it gets around the Yacht Club. Weather and crowds have been perfect!! I just love it here at this resort IMO it's the perfect place
Thanks for your comments! Glad your trip is off to a great start, hope it continues to be fantastic.
I am going to add your comments to the current YC room condition info.
Hi All, our family is booked in BC November 15-22, and since this is the first time we're staying on property with both kids (4yo son & 2yo daughter), I was hoping the Beach Club experts could give me some tips and hints.
First, we're booked for a Garden or Woods view room; any special requests we should make about the room or location?
Second, we'll be there for our daughter's 2nd birthday. Is it worth making any noise about that other than ordering a cake for one of our dinners?
Any other thoughts or tips are welcome
to the DIS and posting on this thread.
If a full balcony is important to you, you should add that to your room request. Other than that, as others have pointed out, preferred room locations are subjective and can be different for every family.
Definitely mention your DD's birthday. You may get some pixie dust at restaurants or the resort, you may not, but she will definitely get some attention if she wears a birthday button.
We have reservations at the yacht club the week they've announced they are starting renovations. We just made them recently before they announced it. I went back on Expedia both yesterday and today and today they're saying they're completely sold out. I have a couple questions. 1. Why would they be sold out overnight? Is that because they're shutting down a portion of it for renovations? Or do they really fill out so quickly. 2. Also how badly we be affected by the renovation?
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list for August.
As others have mentioned, Disney website has been glitchy. Also, just because Expedia is shown as sold out, it just means that they (the third party booking company) does not have room for sale. Disney may still have rooms available. And finally, unless you are staying on the 5th floor, Club Level, you should not have any issues at all with the renovation.
