Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

[jennab]

The grey area in the very top left of the map is the actual lounge. The grey below and to the left of that is the CM desks, below and to the right is the prep kitchen. Elevators are the black rectangles right in the middle of that same corner. Our room is both of the big squares you’ve marked, the red and the white beside it.

Thank you! I was trying to figure out which area was the club for when I request a room location.

Does the BC marketplace have better things than the YC marketplace?

Yeah, those TP maps aren't drawn quite to scale or 100% accuracy in that elevator/lounge area, but PP described the setup very well.

Things - souvenir/resort type stuff they are both about equal. Unless they’ve changed YC has some high end, nautical themed, clothing.

The BC marketplace has a lot more than the YC does. Since it has a vacation club resort also, they have lots of food to make in the villas, like microwave foods, pastas, cereals etc. Plus they seem to have more quick service offerings.

The souvenir section is also bigger than at YC. Again, this location serves the regular hotel & DVC resort. So more guests, more goods.

It's been so long since I've been in the BC marketplace could not remember. YC was a little more recent in 2020. Good to know there's some different quick service offerings that can make it a little more interesting.

The valet parking is optional is that correct? When we go planning to pull up and unload bags, and find a place to park. Do we need any parking tag or similar to hand from our mirror or dash as guests that we should get prior to parking?

Well, we had booked boardwalk for a quick weekend 6/10-12, then thought about adding a night, checking in on Thursday. . .and all that was available was beach club CL. . .soooo what’s a girl to do? We decided life is short, and we will be at BC from 6/9-12. I haven’t stayed at CL at beach club in probably 10 years, so excited!

The mobile order section of the app will show you the menus (although it will not the packaged food items like donuts and cereal which PP mentioned are in BC Marketplace because BC had a DVC section.)

Valet parking is optional.

Paper parking passes have been gone for years. Your Magic Band gets scanned to prove you are a hotel guest. If you don't want a Magic Band, I assume your room key card or phone will provide access.

OMG. We checked in to YC for our 2 night stay in a water view CL room…and got assigned the two bedroom Commodore suite. Think we’re canceling tomorrow morning’s park plans to lounge around the room. It’s massive, with one king and two queen beds, two full balconies plus a Juliette balcony off the living room, huge main bath plus another full bath and a half. Full size H2O products plus a huge assortment of the regular size ones. A Nespresso and a Kuerig. Just flabbergasted. Even the hubby is wowed.

So happy to hear this! I know you have had a lot of travel disappointment over the past couple of years. This is a nice consolation prize!!!

I’m going to be canceling a cabana reservation for Sunday, June 12 today if anybody had been trying for one and was unable to get oneI have no idea how long I’ll be on hold so I can’t help with timing. I hope my loss is somebody else’s gain

The BC Marketplace has a much larger food selection than the YC because it includes groceries for the DVC rooms. The hot food selection is better at the BC, too.

The YC Marketplace has a much better gift shop, including more clothing than the BC. The YC marketplace has the Freestyle drink machines while the BC has the regular beverage dispenser.

It is worth your time to check out both of them.

Desperately trying to book a cabana for a day during our stay in early July but unable to do so when calling from the UK. The automated message suggests, rather unhelpfully, to book when I arrive. Does anyone have a direct email address for the Yacht/Beach Club who may be able to help me reserve and pay for a cabana in advance ? Im staying at the Yacht Club.

Many thanks

Are you calling (407) WDW-PLAY or (407) 939-7529?

I call the number for UK visitors as we are advised but they can no longer assist with any 'leisure activities'

I would try the number I listed. That is the number used in the US for recreation activities. I'm not sure if there are access limitations for international callers, but wouldn't think so.

Hello! Can the fridge in the Beach Club rooms hold a bottle of wine? Upright or would we need to lay it down? Are shelves removeable?

Yes, there is a shelf in the door that will hold a bottle upright.

Or so I've heard.

I know that the Yacht Club has the cooler with the glass door. That frig has removable shelves but doesn't have a shelf in the door. I can't remember if the BC has the old frig, which has a shelf on the door, or the new one. Either way, all of the interior shelves are removable.

OMG. We checked in to YC for our 2 night stay in a water view CL room…and got assigned the two bedroom Commodore suite. Think we’re canceling tomorrow morning’s park plans to lounge around the room. It’s massive, with one king and two queen beds, two full balconies plus a Juliette balcony off the living room, huge main bath plus another full bath and a half. Full size H2O products plus a huge assortment of the regular size ones. A Nespresso and a Kuerig. Just flabbergasted. Even the hubby is wowed.

Okay, so here are the pics of the Commodore Suite at YC (5207/5205).
You enter through the door to 5207, which lets you into a small foyer with a closet and 2pc bath. That leads into the living room, with a sofa & two chairs, coffee table, tv and Juliette balcony. To the right is the main bedroom, with a king bed and a bath area almost as big as a room at the All Stars. To the left is pretty much a regular 2 queen room, 5205, complete with door to the 5th floor hallway, including the usual bathroom and closet, just there‘s a normal bedroom-type door without a lock instead of the usual connecting door. Full balconies on both bedrooms. View over SAB and the lake. HUGE. And all sorts of toiletries I’d rarely/never run into before, including aloe, dental and shave kits, the elusive peppermint foot rub and a new one, nail and hand cream.

Post one has pics of the location from below, the entry hall and living room. Post two will be the main king bedroom and bath, post three the second bedroom. (A mod will have to rotate. I can never get them to attach right side up.)
