Hi everyone...it's been a long time since I've been on this thread! We are frequent Disney visitors but it's been a while since we've had a YC / BC trip planned.
I just booked another trip for very early January...but this time it's just for my daughter and her friend. She is a twenty-something and this will be her very first trip without us! My DD has a definite love affair with the Yacht Club. We've stayed there twice and she has loved everything about it since she was a young tween. For this first trip sans-parents, she really wanted to head back to the YC.
My DH is a CM so we are fortunate enough to be able to take advantage of some nice pricing. However, for the dates my DD wanted, all we could get was BC (which we've never stayed at). Now, usually we are CL people and we are major suckers for a great view. However, we told our DD that you've got to work your way up in life, so a standard room it will be! We are helping her pay for the trip so she knows she is incredibly lucky to be staying in a Deluxe as it is. She is a great kid and is grateful that she's able to go to Disney at all.
Back in the day, my DH and I did have one stay in a YC standard view room. We looked out over a lovely rooftop and a dumpster!
So, while I do want my DD to "work her way up to nicer things", I'm hoping to help her avoid the worst case scenario in terms of the view.
So, my question is, what is the nicest standard view to request at BC? Will a lower floor give them a better chance of avoiding a barren rooftop or service area? Maybe I'll just request "no dumpster please"! Our last three trips were Poly TPV, BWI Boardwalk View, and GF TPV...I fear that we have instilled unrealistic view expectations in our children...oops!
