I just booked YC for 5/24 - 5/28 with the FL resident discount. Dh and I stayed at YC last year over the same weekend for SWW. This trip will be my sister and two nieces (8 & 5) and myself. It will be the second time I have taken them to disney. I just found out I am expecting, I will be about 15 weeks during our trip. Even though I am a passholder and have many trips under my belt I am a little nervous about going pregnant! Any tips or room request ideas would be appreciated!! Can't wait to be back at YC!
back and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list.
Updating my info for the Be our guest list , We will be at the BC CL from 5/30 - 6/7
AND I have a question(s)! We have decided to fly in Thursday night (5/29) instead of Friday morning. I booked a room at POP for that night. Our Flight comes in at 8:30
SO my questions for anybody that has done a split like this. When checking into pop do I just make arrangements for them to move our luggage to the BC the next day? We are packing a carry on with items we need so we don't need out big luggage.
Also...We are planning to Hit the MK Friday....what's better, just check out and hit MK...then take a little afternoon break and check in at BC? Or head over there before we go to MK?
Got it!
I have never done a split stay within Disney, so I only know what I have read- I don't think I have anything in the FAQ post, but I really should try to write something up.
If I recall correctly, Disney does not transfer luggage between resorts until the afternoon. If you are in no rush to get your larger bags that day, then you certainly could have Disney make the switch, and then head directly to MK-
Will you be driving to MK, or using the bus? If you have a car, you could just transport the luggage yourself, although I don't know if it is wise to keep your luggage in the trunk if there is one. If you don't have a car, you will need a place for your carryon stuff- so you could rent a locker at MK if you don't have a car and don't want to carry your things.
Thanks for adding us. We will be there from May 10-14. Really looking forward to it.
Just checking in from my family trip to Port Orleans RIVERSIDE.

Wow!
Hope things have gotten better for you and your family.
Here is a question about transportation to and from the BC. I am aware of the busses to and from the parks, the boat to and from HS, and the monorail from Epcot to the MK (after a 20? walk from BC through the international gateway). What I don't quite understand is timing and procedure. For instance, if we want to me at AK by opening, at what time do we go to the bus? Are there busses that go directly to each park, or do the make various stops on the way? Thanks for your insight in advance.
I wish there was a definitive answer about the buses! In the past, at least, a lot has depended on the time of year and the time of day you are using the buses.
We always hit the parks at early extra magic rope drop (8 am), after having a quick breakfast in the CL lounge. When we have been at the bus stop at 7:30 am, a bus to where we are going has always arrived within 5 minutes, and the buses have always gone directly to MK or AK (15 minute ride). We have always arrived either at rope drop or close to it. If you wanted to guarantee arrival for opening, I would recommend being at the bus stop 45 minutes to an hour before opening at that time in the morning.
Question about the meetup - will anyone have kids there? I'll be traveling with my mom and three older kids (they'll be 11, 9, and 6 at the time). I'm sure they'd be happy enough hanging out at the pool but if there will be other kids there, I'd bring them with.
Some do, some don't.
Robyn- I have only seen pictures of you, not your DH or kids. Do they usually come to the meets?
Let's try to get a feel for this in August as everyone is solidifying plans. Personally, if the kids would be happier at the pool, I think it makes sense to let them do that, and enjoy some adult time with your new friends!
Just wanted to post about our wonderful trip to the YC!
DH and I stayed from 2/5-2/16 at the YC. We got married at the gazebo on the 10th! The wedding was fabulous! loved the gazebo and we took pics all around the YC which is beautiful.
Our stay was not without hiccups but was so fun. We were suppose to fly out 2/5 at 630AM from Philly but that was when we had that huge ice storm. We got on the 330PM flight but ended up flying out at 830PM. I think we checked in at 1130PM. We unpacked some stuff and got our room ready and went to bed. Had to get up at 530 for our Keys to the Kingdom tour. I think we got 3-4 hours of sleep. It was fine though because it was our first day in the MK so we were pumped!
We loved the YC. We ate at Captain's Grille for breakfast (loved the ala carte and buffet style), Yachtsman Steakhouse for dinner, had room service a couple of times (Martin was fabulous!!), Cape May Cafe Clam Bake and Beaches and Cream. All were so good!! DH got a massage at Ship Shape and I got a facial.. so relaxing! I tried to go back for a walk in manicure but they were really booked. We love, love, LOVED the pool! So awesome! Loved the slide and the lazy river. We also loved the walking distance to the Boardwalk and EPCOT. Wish we could have made it over to Jellyrolls but there's always next time
Everyone was super friendly and we really liked all the accommodations. We were suppose to fly home on the 14th but we had another huge storm on the 13th so we stayed an extra two days and switched our flight to Sunday the 16th. It was amazing. One of our best trips ever! We stayed at BWI before but weren't really a fan. Definitely loved YC and would love to try BC next!!
ETA: forgot to say we stayed in room 4132. It was on the 4th floor, really close to the elevators. It was definitely prime real estate! It was so quick to get to everything, especially the store. We had a garden view room but could see the Disney bus stop partially through the trees. The rooms are so nice and comfy. Especially after staying at POFQ.
Thanks for your review! I'm so glad to hear the wedding was fantastic and your trip was great!
