Hi all excited to be writing to you live from the beach club.
Hi all excited to be writing to you live from the beach club. I'll try to keep up with some live reports since that was the only way I lived through the last few months of waiting.
....... I do really think our trip coming up in January WILL be the last one for at least a few years so obviously I'm trying to make the most of it. Sorry for all that so I'll just close by thanking you again for your opinions.
It's never too early to start planning and dreaming, right? And I am sooooo excited even though I don't go until the end of April! It's my first time at the YC, and I have read in a couple of places that "nearly all" of the rooms have full balconies, and that some of them are shared. Is this true? If so, does that mean I would still have to put a request in for a full private balcony? I have booked a GV. Thank you!
I think that most of the shared balconies are for the standard view rooms. There are only a few rooms without full balconies. So the odds are good that you will get a full private balcony with a garden view room. But you can always add it to your request, just in case.
Still no pictures of the lounges? Or did i miss them?? So excited to see it
Tried posting images of an old YC/BC water bottle we found at mom's house and it isn't working.
This reminds me...
I bought a water bottle at YC last year, and meant to pick up a 2nd one when I was there in August, but alas, I forgot. Is there any way to order it (or any other RSM for that matter) online?
I won't take up space by quoting everyone who responded to my earlier question, but I do want to say thank you for putting things into perspective for me. Quite honestly, you pretty much confirmed what I knew in my heart of hearts...that it really doesn't make sense to do the split stay based on what we have planned. I sure will miss the BC, but we'll be saving a ton of money so that's a plus. DH has threatened for years that we took our last trip to WDW for a long time, but yet we've gone back every year, in fact taking our first childless trip this past February. I do really think our trip coming up in January WILL be the last one for at least a few years so obviously I'm trying to make the most of it. Sorry for all that so I'll just close by thanking you again for your opinions.
Dee,
Of course, you can post a link to my review.
I didn't actually set out to give such a detailed one, but I'm quite wordy on the written page, lol.
And Ninja Mom?
I'd be honored to be a member of the team. If you truly think my special talents will be an asset.

After almost two months, I've finally started my trip report. You can find it here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3337448
We get a lot of questions about using personal shopping services for groceries during a Disney stay. I have never used any of the companies, but someone sent me a private message about WeGoShop, so I thought I would pass along the comments:
"We have used WeGoShop for our past two trips. We like that there is no minimum order limit and that we can choose the store because we like the Albertson's. For our last trip, we wanted a case of store brand bottled water, a case of Bud Light and twelve cups of yogurt.
Our credit card was charged for the purchase price of the items plus the service fee. Much cheaper and easier than going by taxi to Super Target or Walmart.
The first time we did this, we needed to meet the delivery person to check my ID, but then the company put the information in their database so we wouldn't have to do that again. We were also told that the service fee is discounted if you are a veteran, police officer or firefighter."
If anyone has other comments/info about any of the delivery services, I will add them to the Other Useful Info post on the front page of this thread (Post 14)
Just thought I would pass it along since I haven't seen anything official yet...but the Winter/Spring Disney Visa stay/play/dine and room only discount was released this morning for those who have a Disney Visa. Assume it will be open to the general public in the next few days. Don't know specific dates/resorts, etc., but I was able to book it no problem this morning. We are heading to WDW in March for my daughter's sports tournament at ESPN, staying two nights on property then the rest at a condo offsite. But alas, the Beach Club was way out of our price range for this particular trip....two nights in a standard view with the discount was $747.....ouch. Booked a Preferred room at CBR instead (we stayed there on our honeymoon 24 years ago!), saved almost $350. Will miss my little slice of heaven for those two days, but trying to be fiscally responsible this trip!
1-407-WDISNEY, the usual resort reservations number. Just ask for the Disney Visa discount.
I am a 7 time wegoshop veteran and always a strong supporter. I always recommended them. I liked that I could compose my own list and I liked that there was not a per item markup. Their deliver fees are higher,
However, in preparing for our upcoming October visit, I experienced incredibly bad customer service from Amy Martin, the owner and her husband. I will never use them again, nor will I ever recommend them again. This is very sad.
Just my experience,
