Especially when we’re only there for a short stay and a king bed is our only request, we’ve almost always gotten one (unsuccessful maybe once out of 20+ stays?) and often we’ve even gotten an upgrade to a better view or club level in order to give us the king bed, once it was even a deluxe room.
Do you remember any of the room numbers with the king beds?
FYI - new menu across the lake at Boardwalk Pizza window that sounds pretty good! I didn’t care for the old pizza but will definitely give this a try with the new dough. The boxed pizzas will be easy to bring back to the room or even to the pool. Love that it’s open late - currently til midnight. Hopefully they add online ordering.

Thanks for posting this! I hadn't seen it. Good options for guests who don't want to go too far, or don't have a park ticket on their arrival day.
These are from the YC:
Pack and Play
Thanks for the Pack and Play photo. Are these standard in the villas and upon request at the YC and BC?
Thank you. I hope the white ones are still around - little one doesn’t seem to sleep in the pack and play ones very well
My suggestion is to call the resort (NOT the Disney reservations number) to ask if they have cribs available upon request. I have the number posted on Page 1 of the thread.
Will come back and post the numbers here.
Hi everyone! We checked into Yacht Club today for our first stay ever. I’m impressed. The room renovations are outstanding. All the little details in the room for organization and convenience were well thought out. I especially love the lights in the bed frame and the little shelf and outlet on the side of the bed that is nearest to the bathroom. The room is clean...not even dust under the bed. My only complaint is that i paid for a garden/Woods view and we have a view of a giant tree and a parking lot through the branches. We are only here for two nights otherwise I’d ask to be moved. I enjoy coffee on the balcony in the mornings so I’m i bit disappointed, but maybe some wildlife will be out tomorrow! We spent the day at the pool only leaving to go to Epcot for lunch. We never had a problem finding chairs. There are quite a lot in the shade over by YC. Minnie, Daisy, Donald & Goofy came to the pool for a dance party.
I don’t recall seeing this mentioned, but I may have missed it. There are repairs and painting going on at BC. There is scaffolding in front of most of the water view rooms. It was pretty loud at times because we could hear it in the lazy river.
We stayed at BC in February. Now that I’ve stayed at both I think I prefer YC. The lobby area is a lot quieter even with a convention going on. I found the BC to be overwhelming sometimes with non-resort guests.
Glad you enjoyed the Yacht Club!
Ok! I don’t get on this board much and hadn’t seen a recent mention of it.
I just took this photo.
I’m booked at YC CL for Marathon Weekend. Is there any time frame for the work there?
Thanks for this picture. No idea if/when work on the Yacht Club will be taking place. The only way we usually get info is from viewers like you, who post about what is going on while they are there.
I'll add your January trip to the Be Our Guest list.
Yay, yay, yay! We’ll be back at the BC next May!
We need a redo vacation, as for the first time ever, I was sick at WDW this past trip. Came down with a cold and cough the day before we went. Thank goodness for the pharmacy that delivers to the resorts! I needed antibiotic and couldn’t taste ANY of my delicious food for the first four days of a six-day stay. I lost 5 lbs. on a Disney vacation, imagine that haha! PLUS I had really bad sciatica that had me limping the whole time. I was a mess!
Cannot wait to be back at the BC for this trip, since we spend so much time at Epcot and the WS. Bringing DD’s BFF this time, who hasn’t been since she was a kid...fun! Just can’t wait to be back in my happy place.
back!
Wishing you a wonderful makeup trip!
I'll add you to the list.
I had room 1598 garden view last year. It’s a king with a chair that I doubt was a sleeper chair, there wasn’t enough room to accomodate that. First floor corner room next to one of the emergency exits with a tiny “patio” made of concrete blocks. Very quiet and a great location.
Thanks for the info about Room 1598!
Thank you very much for the August schedule! Has anyone had experience with the "tidal tank top" or "shell we paint"?
We are so very excited for our short stay this month!
to the thread!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest we keep on Page 1, Post 15.
I haven't heard any reviews from anyone who has done these activities.
Just booked YC for Oct- 4 nights, garden view. Never stayed there before so no clue as to the layout inside. Is a gazebo view room far from the lobby? I have knee issue and dont want to walk too far to get to my room. We will use the bus and boats so any idea what to request? Also is the lobby the exit for the pool and the boat too?
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
As others have posted, the location of the Gazebo View rooms is pretty good. My suggestion for a room request would be "Gazebo view, close to lobby elevators, please"
Darn, it is our first stay at BC next week and I really hope we do not get scaffolding outside pur window. This is a special trip for us and it did not say there was construction when we booked
I don’t think our tall almost 3 year old would fit in that little pack and play. We are a family of 5–is there a day bed or fold down bed he or one of his brothers could use in the rooms for 5 so he can have a real bed to sleep in?
I'll add you to the list for August.
When you check in at the resort, you can ask the CMs at the front desk if there will be scaffolding near your room during your stay and if there is, then check to see if you are able to change rooms.
Not all rooms at the resort have a daybed. Did you add a request for a daybed to your reservation? Do you have 5 people on your reservation including your under 3 year old son. My understanding is that he will not automatically be counted in the guest occupancy so you would be considered to be family of 4.
Well, it looks like we'll be home next August! This is yet another attempt to get my wife's family down for a big family excursion, so I've been laying down the groundwork trying to get everyone's schedule lined up. After a bit of back and forth, it looks like we've agreed to August 18-24, 2019 (Dee, please add me to the list)! By then, our little family will have another addition, and this time around my brother in-law's family with their two kids and my sister-in-law's family with their little daughter will be in tow along with my mother and father in-law. All together, we'll have 13 people, with three little girls ranging from 9 months to just under three and a little boy who will be 7. The hard part will be grabbing 2 2BR villas for that date. I've got enough points to secure one reservation, but it looks like I'll have to get creative in getting the other one (going to do my best not to have to rent points online as we have family friends that may have extra points we can rent from them).
More importantly, and I'm sure this has been discussed in other posts (forgive me, haven't been on in a while), but is anyone else concerned about how the new Skyliner will affect traffic around the International Gateway? There can't possibly be enough room to handle the outgoing traffic from four resorts after Illuminations. Add that to the fact that Star Wars Galaxy's Edge will only add to the pressure placed on the new transportation system, I see one of my favorite parts of being a BCV member being diminished by the wave of humanity clogging my path home. Anyone else feel that way?
back!
Hope all is well with your family.
I will add your fun family gathering to the list.
When you have time, curious what you thought of the H2O Glow night.
to the Yacht & Beach FAQ forum!
It was wonderful! We had never been to Typhoon Lagoon, so we really didnt know what we were getting into. Haha. We have 2 boys (8 & 12). We had the best time. The park was empties before they would let us in. I heard them tell multiple guests that we would not be allowed in until 7pm. And a few minutes before 7 they allowed us to enter the tapstiles but we had to wait in another line to get our bracelets applied. We went straight to grab a locker then headed to the slides. We rode every slide multiple times with no real wait. We rode Miss Adventure falls 5 times I believe. The longest part was waiting for the floats to be unloaded and then for us to load. The wave pool had a large amount of people in it all night, we didnt stay there long (not enough action for the boys). The characters didnt start meeting until 8pm and there were photopass cast members with them, no real lines. The special food offerings were good. All in all we thought it was a great event and would definitely do it again!
Thanks so much for the details about the H2O Glow event!
We did not do either. My kids just played in the pool/volleyball at that time. We are moving tomorrow to the Poly so I can’t even check it out for you.
Scaffolding is out in front of the pool to I think the lobby...or just to cape May.
That’s a lot of prime real estate if all those rooms aren’t occupied.
We have a day bed but we have 5 people.
We are checking out today after 5 lovely nights here. I think everyone I met in the pool is DVC. I think they were surprised when I told them “no, I am not DVC.” Do non DVC people not talk?? They must not, lol!
Thank you so much for the detailed reports during your stay!
Enjoy the rest of your trip!
