Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

[rcraw45425]

thanks for the welcome back! Emailed my TA as she owns my current CR reservation and she's on the west coast so it'll take a while to hear back. Encouraged reading trip advisor reports, have wanted to be back at YC fora while it's just rates haven't been favorable. I'll be bringing my college girls and the best friend so two of them are now 21 and I'm sure that F&W has a strong lure for them

Spoke with TA and she's in the midst of moving a child into the dorm but she will try to get it taken care of. If it slips out of my hands that's okay, I can live with Pop for one night.

Well, it's official! I may end up incarcerated or institutionalized before we get to Disney. My aforementioned DMIL had her FastPass window open this morning and since she couldn't add herself to our FEA reservation, she cancelled the one we had made, and made another at the same time we have dinner booked in a totally different park. To top it all off, since she couldn't change our 4yo DS FastPass, we then had a Fast Pass for him alone and another for the rest of us hours later.

My wife is about to take away my car keys...

No, no, no, no NOOOO! I don't like that anyone can change Reservations. What a hot mess!

Does anyone know what hours Stormalong bay is open this time of year? I didn't see any info in previous posts about September hours and we really hope to have some evening pool time the day we arrive next week!

is there a Yacht club version like this? With the room map locations?

Here is a link to a website with a room map for YC. Just scroll down a little and you'll see it. I don't know how accurate the map is. There is now a category called garden view, which isn't listed on the map

Thanks I have that one and no it's not accurate. I was hoping to find one that listed the Garden rooms.

to this thread and posting on the DIS



I know someone answered but the map is also on the Page 1, the Beach Club Post 8 for everyone's convenience.

No unfortunately we don't have the same type of map for the yacht club.

As far as I know the gv rooms overlook the back entrance (lakeside) courtyard, the wedding gazebo or tennis court.

Home from our trip & I'm exhausted! The heat & humidity really got to me the last 2 days. We had a waterview club room that had a different set up. We have had this room once before but I don't think I've seen anyone talk about it here before. It was room 5173. It is 2 rooms from the club cast member prep room, but it was very quiet. Heard a bit of noise from the other guests in the hallway & room next door, but really never enough to be disturbed by it. This room has only 1 queen bed, but it has both the daybed & an oversized chair. Pretty sure the chair pulls out to a small bed. So there are actually 3 sleep surfaces. There is a full curtain between the bed & the daybed. This room would be very nice for a family that wants seperate beds for 2 kids. There was lots of floor space & would probably work well with a crib too. I took a few pictures. Trying to post but giving me problems.

Sorry, having trouble posting the pictures. Trying a few more.

With that curtain, it reminds me of the setup on a Disney cruise! Appropriate at the Yacht Club! Thanks for posting the photos!

I know it closed at 10pm the whole week we were there 9/3-9/10.

All in all, we had a very good stay. There were some signs of wear in the room: the shower pull in the tub was temperamental. Needed to get the balcony door in just the right position for it to lock. And as we left yesterday morning, I noticed a pretty good sized chunk missing from the ceiling trim on the balcony. The room was clean tho, cast members we encountered were all friendly, (except 1 housekeeper near the pool). We were disappointed that there were very few USA Today's around. The club level had plenty of NY Times & Wall Street Journals, but 2 of our 3 mornings, no USA Today. Didn't see them at the bell stand where they used to have them or on other floors either. We had stayed main building at GF before YC & they seemed to have plenty there.

We had some pool time but even noticed some problems there. It has been mentioned that the whirlpool wasn't working. The bubbling waters weren't (but I think that has only been working once in the last several years we've been there) & even no sinking sands! Thankfully, the lazy river was flowing & loved the warm water. We found chairs ok but you could tell there was saving of chairs & tables going on. Most of the tables & lounge chairs in the shade had stuff on them. But there were maybe 30 people in the pool.

I really can't wait to see the refurb. Can't say we'll keep booking club level tho. Just not worth the costs anymore. I like doing my own ADRs, no need to check in at the desk anymore, there are no special toiletries for club level, we don't drink & DH doesn't like most of the appetizers. Boy, doesn't sound like we had a good trip, but we did. We still love YC & will just book waterview. I just hope management gets on top of these things before they get worse.


I hope everyone down there now has a great time!!!

Yikes! You have my sympathies!
