I called back today and got a very nice gentlemen who had no problem with me booking far in advance. He said the Yacht Club is his favorite, I said me too So for now we are room only peeps until packages come out and hopefully a discount in the future

What a great two days at work. Saw so many of my Dis friends!!!!!!
Just finished watching these and now I am totally freaked out about Captain's Grille We really enjoyed our breakfast there last summer and I have my DM and two DD booked to eat there while my DH and I go to Yachtsman. Has anyone been there for dinner recently? I had read a lot of great things about the dinner here, but now I'm totally rethinking this choiceTo go along with the new DIS post mentioned above about the Yacht and Beach Club the DIS Podcast team did a show on each resort.
Only negative is Captains Grille and they didn't seem to know about the refurb schedule

We've been frequent visitors to Disney, and now with a son in tow, we're going less frequently and trending toward 1BR villas. GF and YC are our favorites, and the Poly is the only deluxe we have not stayed at. Our last trip we split our stay between Boardwalk and Wilderness villas. We liked both, but want to try something new. Could not get a villa at GF or BLT, and not as interested in OKW or SSR, and want to save Poly for the rehab to be finished. AKL is a little too remote for us for this trip.
So we currently have a ressie at BCV 1BR for mid April. We have a few concerns though:
While we don't have particular problems with the décor and theming at BCV, but after watching the podcast, we're a little bit concerned about the condition of the rooms on the BCV side. From the pics, the furniture looked a little worn, and one of the side tables looked like it was a little beat up from water stains. But is it really as worn out as they indicated? With our son and a friend of his coming with us we don't anticipate a lot of room time. But we've also come to expect a certain standard not only at WDW, but also hotels in general, especially when we're paying rack rate -- we're not going down the points rental road. . .
Guest relations confirmed there will be a hard goods rehab expected to start mid March, so that will be ongoing. If anyone has more info, could they share please. It doesn't sound like the extensive rehabbing like the BC standard rooms. but is that needed???
Are there really any views from the BCVs? We haven't stayed at BC in many years and I can't recall a lot of the layout. Seems like they are tucked into the woods so it's either a canal/parking view or woods view.
We love the location, and think the kids will love Stormalong Bay, so we're still leaning toward BCV. But I know we can get a discounted 1BR villa over at Boardwalk that's quite a bit cheaper.
Any thoughts, and in particular comments about the BCV room conditions? Are the beds/mattresses in good shape despite the furniture being a little beat up? I know some here have said things are a little worn, but so worn that you would never go back until it is rehabbed?
What are canal views like at BCV? What are the good & bad points? I haven't made any request for room location so far. Online check in won't be for a while yet I don't think so I have time. So far I haven't been able to decide where to pick an area of BCV to request (they all sound like cool areas) I do think that I'd like a ground floor room though so that's probably my top choice for any request.
In the past they there has been large bottles of drinking water (Evian?) in the CL lounge. You could refill your personal bottle from that one or even request you're own to take back to the room.Is there a communal pitcher of water in the club lounge big enough to fill several water bottles? Is it filtered? Where on property is the soda machine? Thanks in advance for any help!
Here's an oldie but goodie map that shows the orientation and views from the BCV's. Happy planning.Thanks for the help. I'm not sure if I'm going to request anything more than a ground floor room. I'm just so excited at being able to stay at BCV that I'm ok with any view at the moment. I saw a picture online of what you can do an online request for, it didn't mention 'pool view' does that mean its not available for request (quiet pool that is, not SAB)
Had dinner there twice in the last month and both times it was fantastic. I had a guest tell me last weekend it was the best meal they had on property.Just finished watching these and now I am totally freaked out about Captain's Grille We really enjoyed our breakfast there last summer and I have my DM and two DD booked to eat there while my DH and I go to Yachtsman.
