Hello all, trying to catch up on reviews that I've been lax about. We stayed at YC over Easter break, April 3-8. I booked a standard view room and was given a room on the 5th floor, which of course got me excited for a few minutes, but the lounge was indeed still all locked up, sadly. We had Room 5199 which we really liked. Contrary to our stay at the GF in November where we booked LV and got a mostly-tree view, our standard view room at the YC was very nice. Looking down was the roof, but looking straight ahead was the resort and also the top of Epcot ball. To the right was the pool and Epcot. Very nice view for Standard and we'd happily take this room again.
Full tub and shower, loose bottles of shampoo, etc., keurig, daybed, full balcony, adjoining room.
SAB had long lines each time we walked by during our stay. However, once inside, the pool was not crowded. One time we had a table and 2 lounge chairs. Another time we had 4 lounge chairs.
B&C takeout window is still closed, and a worker inside said the health dept shut them down after they had initially opened because some of the workers near the takeout window had to be too close at times. So with the window still closed, the later reservations were being taken up by people who only wanted ice cream, which had a ripple effect of hungry people heading to the YC Market to get some food later at night, which led to long waiting times and lots of unhappy people. We opted to head down to B&C at 10pm on a few nights and they were always able to seat us sometime after that. However, it's a gamble and certainly not a for-sure thing that a table will open up. Side note: they disabled the walk-up waiting list because they were too overwhelmed with people wanting ice cream. Not sure if it was just during our stay or if it's a more permanent thing.
Mug refill station CMs were told all guests had to have mugs in hand to get drinks in the paper cups. They said some guests were sharing receipts. I wish they would give out paper wristbands or something when guests buy the mugs. It was a bit inconvenient to carry the paper cups and mugs at the same time, but we made it work.
Not a lot of Easter decorations in lobby, but cute what they had. I took pics. They didn't have the candy scatter this year but did a scavenger hunt for all ages (we loved it!). A lot of this has probably already been discussed, so I'll just post some pics.
