Review of the Beach Club Marketplace from the The Disney Food Blog

Thanks for the pics Dee, very helpful. Didn't see the brewed tea dispensor. Do they have those? Love the brewed ice tea, esp in summer.

Thanks Dee!

I'm still mad that they stopped selling resort specific items. Everything is now just WDW themed. Makes me wish I bought as much Beach Club merchandise as I could of back when they used to offer it.

I under stand the reason behind it (finances) but it was always great to bring something home with "Beach Club Resort" on it. And the pins, in my opinion just don't cut it.

Going by the pictures, it looks like a lot of things are not included on the dining plan. Kind of suprising.

Word from Mouse is that Beach Club will have some Resort Specific items, hopefully starting in the fall. I think it was our insider who told us, but it was a discussion topic a few months ago on the BC/YC Thread.

[natebenma]

I had to strip these photos from the first post because I exceeded the allowable quota

Beautiful paintings of the resort done by artist Alexandria Skordas are also available for purchase at the Marketplace. You can buy them framed or unframed.

Here are a couple of photos of examples of the pictures that purchased by jakeybakey:

I don't know. Pixarmom took the photos, and I haven't used the refillable mugs at the BC, so I am not sure what is available.

Anyone?

If we don't get a response here, ask over on the FAQ thread. Someone there will know!

Right! We don't know the date but enough people commented that they want the resort merchandise back and the folks at the top listened! I will definitely put up photos of the items when they arrive.

Sign me up for a sweatshirt!!!

Thanks for posting the pics! We told our youngest son we'd take him back to the BC next summer (he'll LOVE Stormalong Bay). He was 3 the last time he visited and doesn't remember any of that trip. Haha. I wish there was more options for breakfast. I realize we can eat at Cape May, Captain's Grille, Boardwalk. He's a bacon and eggs fan! We'll make do I'm sure. Just wish there were a few more options but of course that's just Me! Hahaha.

Do you mean the Gold Peak dispenser? It's up there between the coffee and hot chocolate stations, I believe. I couldn't find it at first either!

I was at the Beach Club when they were doing a trial run of counter service breakfast at Beaches & Cream (July 2009). It was great! They had several selections and it was the perfect answer to what is probably the biggest drawback to the resort. I don't know why the management decided to discontinue the breakfast maybe it wasn't busy enough and I also heard that some people complained.

I sent a letter saying that I was disappointed they stopped offering the breakfast.

Thanks for the pics, Dee! The flatbreads are a nice edition. They didn't have them when we were there last June. My kids are going to love them. They weren't big fans of the sandwiches.

Anyone?

The tea dispenser is in between the two nescafe machines - you can't see it in my first photo of the entire area because the nescafe machines hide them. But you can see it my the close-up of the coffee/tea area. It looked like there are four different kinds of tea in that dispenser - and it's included with the refill mugs!!



P.S. I can't zoom in on the tea machine because there was a glare on my photo, but if anyone needs detailed info regarding any of the products in my photos, please let me know! I can usually zoom in very close on iphoto and get more detail!
