When we were in a refurbished studio at BCV last October they had a coffee pot/keurig combo unit. It was rather large and took up a lot of counter space. They don’t refresh the coffee pods daily and you can’t always count on them to replenish on a housekeeping day unless you leave them a note...

It is an area on the pool deck at Stormalong Bay on the Yacht Club side that is completely shaded all day by trees. Some of the more frequent visitors refer to that area as tree island.

Nice to see you again PC Friar. Hope to see you again before we all head out! Looking forward to seeing Wood Nymph when she arrives on Sunday or soon after. Btw, there has been a snake in residence over at tree island (spotted twice already in the first two days we were here and I am...

Looks like you won’t have to schlep all the way to SAB after all but we still hope to see you! We are in Orlando now and set to arrive in about a half hour. We don’t check out until the 29th so we are happy to be a resource to others. I think hubby and I may grill a night or two since Dunes...

Was just coming over to post this and you beat me to it! I also saw posted that work has not yet begun on the Dunes Cove pool.

We are schedule to arrive on the 19th and have a studio booked. Wondering if the work being done in the studios is due to the issues they were having with the Murphy beds. There was speculation that was why the renovations were halted. Curios to see what will happen with our reservation.

Thanks for the response. I agree. Very frustrating as it makes a huge difference to us whether we have the new Murphy bed or the old pull out couch and we were hoping they would be near completion so that it wouldn’t matter what floor you were assigned to.

We are also interested in this info as well as we will be arriving 2 weeks from tomorrow. Also of interest is whether anyone has updates on the BCV refurbs that were halted last spring and were supposed to resume and be finished by the end of October.

We have been members since 2004 and we are noticing the same things. I think a couple factors might be contributing to recent trends. There is still shake out from the DVC point debacle that the COVID shut down caused. There are also soooo many points that have been sold recently for large...

Our trip is around 940 miles coming from the Baltimore suburbs and we make the trip generally twice a year now. Our best time was 13 1/2 hours when we left at around 2am. We stopped and picked up a couple grocery items and were checked in having cocktails at Stormalong Bay at Y&B by 5 pm. We...

Yep! That’s us. Good memory about our anniversary. It is the 20th. And we are creatures of habit. We started out years ago sitting in front of B&C when that pool entrance was still open since it was closer to the villas and have just never changed. Although we might be persuaded to try out...

Looks like our trips will once again overlap. When I read the post about the Dunes Cove refurb I immediately thought of you. You are just going to have to schlep to SAB and look us up! We are planned for 10/19-10/29.

We just came home from a lovely long week at Y&B and spent many long days at SAB. I agree with Wood Nymph-we usually did not have to wait long for floats-my longest wait was about 10 mins and most times I didn’t wait at all. The problem is they often get hung up in the deeper parts of the lazy...

Thank you for the info. Unfortunately we just didn’t have the room in the car for ours this time so we will be waiting with everyone else. We just pulled into the resort a few minutes ago and are looking for some relaxation time.

Hello! We are arriving at the Y&B in a couple days and we were wondering if anyone there now could tell us if they are still using the U-shaped floats in the lazy river at SAB and if so, what the availability has been.

Was just checking in to report on the paper bands today and saw Wood Nymph’s messages. From what we understand, the cloth ones may be short lived. We were told the manufacturer is no longer making them and they ran out today. We so enjoyed spending a few hours with Wood Nymph & her DH this...

The ones we brought we almost identical to the ones already in the lazy river. In fact, I contacted the same manufacturer. I had checked ahead with the lifeguards on a previous trip to make sure it was ok.

Thanks to those who replied re: floats. Sounds like over the weekend it is tougher, during the weekdays probably ok. Guess it’s going to be a game time decision depending on whether there is enough room in the car!

Our daughter is flying in late that afternoon to join us-first time in a while-so we may have left to head to the airport but will definitely be poolside the next day for sure. It’s our anniversary and we plan on spending the day relaxing at SAB before a nice dinner out.I’m sure we will connect...

Can anyone staying at the resort currently tell me if they have plenty of the u-shaped floats for the lazy river? We bought our own to bring down which we have done the last few trips but will be tight for space this trip and won’t bring them if we can get by without them. Five more sleeps...
