YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Only 30 days!!
Though, after everything that’s happened the last 2 years, I’m not counting these chickens til I’m opening the door to our room!!

HAaaaaaa, same, I'm holding my breath until we're safely ensconced in the bubble - this is 2020 after all!

If I’m remembering this correctly, since it was written almost a month ago, I was writing about my experience of having a price protect between the cost of my BWI room and the YC room I had to move to after they announced BWI would not be reopening. I had BWI booked for Thanksgiving week, and BC booked for the last part of Christmas week, and unfortunately know all too well they aren’t reopening.

Aw, so sorry

Could anyone that is going there take a picture of the refrigerated grab-n-go area at The Market? I like to use half & half in my coffee and would love to keep some in the room fridge. Bonus would be a picture of what yogurts they have. I like to have some on those morning when I wake up really early and my breakfast reservation isn't until a few hours later.

There is a pint of half n half, plus a small coffee-mate french vanilla liquid creamer. The only yogurt that is carried is blueberry dannon greek. There are also vanilla yogurt parfaits but they are much larger than the individual yogurts. The Market at the Yacht normally carries the strawberry yogurt individuals but I'm not sure if those are back in stock yet.

I'm really hoping the 9am-9pm hours for the pool are accurate because I have plans to be there Saturday!

They were open until 9pm last night. Very few people in the pool though, I don't think I have ever seen it so empty!

The entrance to the pool was hard for me to find, as all the ones I would normally go to were marked as exits. But there is an entrance(not sure if it is the only one) past the arcade.

Most of the room service menus (other than the prices) look like the menus from Ale & Compass. From the attachments, it looks like only breakfast and dinner are available for room service - no lunch and no late night offerings; that makes sense, if the Ale & Compass is preparing the room service food, as Ale & Compass does currently not serve lunch and stops serving at 9:00 p.m.

I asked the private dining cast about hours and availability yesterday and was told:

breakfast is available 730-11am
dinner is available 5-11pm

Serving both the YC and BCV.

I have not seen anything in writing so hopefully this is accurate.

Will the BC lobby be open? Staying at BCV and need to walk to SAB, YC, etc. Don't want to have to walk all the way down to the sidewalk by the beach. Thanks....

Question...after looking at the link above for the pool bar....are there any tables w/ umbrellas and chairs at the pool area?

 

[Euby]

I will be there starting Thursday and would be happy to get some pictures for you, if no one else does in the meantime.

That would be great! I’ll admit to being a picky eater when it comes to flavors and brands of yogurt.

Sure, there are some by Hanna's and a bunch in various areas around the complex. In a normal busy season they can be competitive to get, but nowadays there are plenty available.

They've used that setup before during low crowds.

I was at WL a couple of weeks ago and the pool also had one gate as an entrance and all the rest were exits, so I had that similar feeling of walking around looking for the one magic gate. (although SAB is *slightly* bigger so it'd be even more fun there. )

We check in to BCV this Sunday. Where are the refillable mug stations located? I know they have an attendant instead of being self service.

Any recommendations for a quieter, shady spot at Stormalong Bay? I don’t need to be near the slide or Hurricane Hannah’s.

Thanks!

Yacht Club side, close to the walkway that’s adjacent to health club and spa. This is closest to “lazy river” and kid’s shallow portion of the pool area. There are or at least were tables and chairs with umbrellas in that area. The other option to guarantee quiet and shade is a cabana rental.

Thanks! Closest to YC is definitely a plus!

Are the NBA teams still at the Yacht Club?

No, they consolidated to Grand Floridian and Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs. In a week or two they’re consolidating again to just Gran Destino.

I have an early Topolino's Breakfast reservation on one of my Epcot days. It's at 7:45. Anyone there have advice on the best way to get there from BC. I was thinking I could hop on the Skyliner, but I don't believe it will be open yet.

It will not be open at that time. If you do not have your own car, then Lyft/Uber is probably the best option.
