Well, at least I am (currently) caught up on this thread!
I still need to go back to the locked one for about 13 pages and do some "sweeping" there- I have missed :welcoming: a few of our friends. If you posted a question over there that wasn't answered, feel free to repost here.
In off-topic news, I purchased a 12-cup coffee maker for my trip to ASMo in about a week! I was going to get a smaller one, but the other chaperones caught wind of my plans and want in on the morning brew. I have already arranged to leave it at bell services for someone who is checking in the day after I leave. Sharing the caffeine.
I'm excited because one of the teachers who is organizing this trip and was featured in my
Disneyland trip report (we were there at the same time for one day, but never managed to meet up) will be staying at the Beach Club with his family after the class trip. He is one of my boys' favorite teachers of all time, his wife is also a teacher at the middle school and one of his daughters is in Ben's class. I am so happy to have them stay at my favorite resort!
Please add our trip to the Be Our Guest list! Just scheduled our grandkids' first trip (they are two year old twins!) September 12-20 of this year! We are staying Club Level at the Beach Club!
Thanks!
Will do!!! What a magical trip that will be!
Thanks for the "Open for Business" Dee.
We all know you have a ton of stuff on your plate but I'm sure glad it didn't happen while you were away on your trip..... Dee knowing Y&BC Thread is down and she can't edit>>>>>>.

You got THAT right!!!
After much difficulty and days of checking the website we were finally able to reduce our Poly stay to 4 days and come home to BC for the remaining 4!! Yay We will be visiting on June 10th. I won't rehash it here but the new restrictions on modifying resort stays almost squashed our BC stay, almost...but perseverance won out.
On another note, thank you for setting up the new thread
I'll make the adjustment on the Be Our Guest list.
ETA- This is from your post on the locked thread: We are taking a trip 6/6-6/13 to Disney. So are your dates now June 6-10 Poly and June 10-13 BC?
And for the recital, they told Jeanne that she had to pull Lily's hair back in a tight bun and put makeup on her (eye, cheek and lipstick). Have you seen her hair? It's short and super curly ... no way it's going to go into a bun and Jeanne said no 3 year old is wearing makeup!!
I only have a boy and he was never interested so I never had to deal with the dance thing but I agree, 3 yr olds shouldn't be required to wear makeup. Craziness. Hope she enjoys soccer! My son loves soccer.
I can totally relate! The only time I have worn makeup is for one of my proms, my wedding and on stage. My sons have been in more plays than I have, so they have actually worn more makeup in their lives than I have!
Before moving to FL we stayed at BC/BCV many times. We always enjoyed the greeting we got from Art. I know he retired a few years ago and I'm wondering if anybody knows how he's enjoying his retirement.
Thanks for asking this.
:
Talked to him at length about 4 weeks ago. He is doing wonderful and loving retirement!!! He looks about ten years younger. He's been gone from the BC almost four years now.
Thanks for the answer. That is great to hear!
Here now at the Yacht Club now - I just need ya'll to say some encouraging words to get the magic back in our trip. I found a roach in our bathroom on our first morning here that ran under the vanity and buried itself in the carpet. CM in the AM requested pest control, and pm CM moved us to a new room at our request. I wrote a letter and the manager called me this morning. However, I am just still creeped out and feeling blue because in 30+ nights at various level accommodations in Orlando during the last year as AP holders, this is the only time we've had this experience. This was supposed to be our luxury stay- - not so much! I am bummed because at this point, I can not recommend a stay in YC. It feels dated. Maybe after a refurb and if the pest control issue is resolved as the manager assured me it would be. But for me, I've lost the magic.
So sorry your trip got off to a bad start. I hope the rest of your trip is nothing but magical!!!
Thanks for the new thread Dee!
We arrived at YC a few hours ago, currently relaxing at SAB while we wait for our room to be ready. First time here, and we are in LOVE! The resort is just gorgeous and the pool is amazing!!! I was a bit nervous about venturing off the monorail....not anymore!!
My only "complaint" so far is that I've been sitting next to 5 chairs with towels for quite a bit, and have seen no owners. Might be time to go all " Ninja Mom"
Room was totally worth the wait! Requested high floor with a view of the gazebo, please, and boy did they deliver! Here's the view from room 4095:
View attachment 99758
Edit: have a pic of the gazebo view, too, which is apparently too large to upload
Thanks for letting us know about the start to your trip!
Awesome view!
Do not talk to me about Cheerios !!! He's not coeliac they said, should tolerate wheat and everything they said so I put tiny plastic box of Cheerios as healthy break in his lunchbox in Wednesday because he didn't want an apple and I was out of ideas for healthy snack! 2 hours later phone call from school and 1 sick 8 year old home with headache and glands the size of golf balls. Thank goodness for the miracle that is piriton. All better now but arghh for not being able to eat Cheerios
with or with flies in them lol
So sorry to hear this. Poor little guy!
Finally heading back to the Beach Club!! My son wanted to go over Labor Day weekend with his children, and of course Jim and I have to go!! Jim and I are going to be there longer, the 3-10. Very excited to see the new club level lounge and spend time relaxing.
back!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list
I'll be there tomorrow... I'll help you with chair piggy patrol-lol. I'll be at BC, but I hope I get lucky like you on the view...it will probably be a roof top. I'm actually turning onto Vineland right now -yay... A night of shopping with DD16
Have a fantastic trip!
:
Please put us down for Sept 27-Oct 3 in a standard view room. No CL this time after a bad experience last time. However can't wait to return to our beloved BC and that awesome pool. We stayed this month at the BWI and the room was amazing but the pool was just okay. Cannot wait to be back in SAB!! We missed Teena this last trip we went by but she was not working
back!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
ETA- I had you on the list already, Sept 23-29 YC, but I changed that.
One of my high school friends is staying at the swan/dolphin right now and got upgraded to the presidential suite. There's a PIANO in the middle of their hotel room. Some people have the best luck!
~Cari~
Wow!!!! That is so cool!
Do you know what side of the hotel that they have started working on?
I'm not positive but I think they have been starting on the EPCOT side. Maybe we will get a report from some of our friends who are staying there this weekend.
This may be a silly question but we will be staying at bc in September. My question is we will be traveling with a 21 month old and a 7 month old. Now do they have to wear their Magic bands to get into SAB ? Or can I wear or on backpack? Or is it to leave behind? I'm just kinda worried the older will take off and lose it at some point on trip. It obviously has no ticket connected but this is the only place I kinda thought I may really need it. Any experience?
My understanding is that it needs to be with you, but not on your child(ren). Some people do attach their MBs to a bag. I would just be cautious about leaving it unattended while at the pool.
