Hi everyone, any update on the progress of the YC room renovations? We are staying Garden View in November, will we be guaranteed a "new" room?

Where? You can get a Mimosa at Les Halle's, but you can not leave Epcot with it. I have never seen a Mimosa on the menu at the pool.Yes! Les Halles! I remembered reading somewhere that you can grab breakfast from there & then go back to YC and eat by the pool and yesssssss this is what I want to do. Important follow up, pool opens at 9am, can I get a mimosa there?
All balconies at the YC are full size. There is no way to see if one is a bit bigger than another.Is there any way to control if/what size balcony your room has? Mine is a garden view, not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks!
No. I believe Les Halle's opens at 9 everyday.Does anyone know if Les Halles opens early at 8:00 when Epcot has EMH at 8:00 a.m.? Or does it still open at 9:00 on EMH days?
Not really, you can request a full balcony when you make your reservation and also when you do online checkin. Put it as your top priority if it is important to you. I didn't make any requests, mainly because staying on a cast rate you don't usually get them!Is there any way to control if/what size balcony your room has? Mine is a garden view, not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks!
I haven't asked to be on the Be Our Guest list yet, but I guess I better have you add it, since it is getting closer.
BC - Nov 28th to Dec 1st - (split with GF)
Here now, that is what I was told by CM last night when I picked up my cups. She said "just to let you know, we are getting Coke Freestyle machines tomorrow and will only have canned sodas but you can still use the machine at Hurricane Hannah's. I will check it out later and take some pics.
I just tried to change our last 2 nights to BC when we go in May. Even the magical deal was $450/night. (Sigh) Guess no BC for us this year.
Where is the shampoo and conditioner?Just arrived in our room. We are in 3515, nice view of the quiet pool and if I look left I can see parts of the Boardwalk. Very long walk from the elevators, but short walk to secrete to Epcot, which is great. Large balcony which is good because I enjoy sitting out there and reading. The only toiletries we have is a tube of lotion and 2 bars of soap. The lotion looks sad sitting on the tray by itself!
Will take pictures later. We are off to Epcot!
I think that you got an upgrade to a lagoon/pool view room. That is a nice view.We arrived late Thursday night and had not received our room assignment. So, checked in at front desk. After the CM gave us our room assignment, I politely asked to see where we would be on the map because I had a feeling...yep - over the porte cochere. I asked (begged) if they could please, please move me to a different room and explained my previous experience with the loud noises. I told them I would take just about any room as long as it was quiet.
It took awhile, but they were able to move us to a room - 4th floor, quiet pool view (4553).
I think that you are right that it was a production defect. I've never had one of these defective pods.But a word of caution - the edge of the regular coffee pods always seemed to be sealed into the package seam. Once I opened the packet, I had to actually peel apart the whole package to get the coffee pod out without it being ripped and causing a huge mess. The decaf ones weren't that way. I think it may have been a production defect.
That was nice of them to bring a different drink for you.When the server came to bring me my tab, he asked how it was. I told him that it wasn't so great, and he insisted on getting me something else! That was awesome!
The BC doesn't label their wings, so I would just call in a request to be near the quiet pool. It is near Epcot, which would take care of that request, too.We want a room closes to Epcot side and quiet pool, is there a particular wing I should request?
The rooms have been remodeled since you've stayed there. They have built shower rooms for the main pool. The Yacht Club has added a quick service location in the area where the gift shop is located. Ale and Compass and Captain's Grille are being remodeled. The plan is to combine them into one big restaurant and lounge.We are heading back to the BC in December (11-23). Its been 3 years since our last visit as have been too busy doing DLR and DCL..LOL! So what has changed in those 3 years?
Yes! Les Halles! I remembered reading somewhere that you can grab breakfast from there & then go back to YC and eat by the pool and yesssssss this is what I want to do. Important follow up, pool opens at 9am, can I get a mimosa there?

i had to call down to housekeeping to see if I could get some shower gel. They apologized that there wasn't any and also brought some shampoo and conditioner.Where is the shampoo and conditioner?
Thank you so much! Great to know!to the thread!
I'll add you to the Be Our Guest list we keep on Page 1, Post 15.
Yes, all rooms have been renovated so you will be getting a room with the new décor and amenities.
Thank you so much! Great to know!
My other question is that we would love a king bed instead of 2 queens and a shower cubicle instead of bath. What's the best way for me to request this? OLCI or should I call / email?
Thanks for the welcome
Bummer! I'll just get my mimosa at Les Halles and then hang out at the pool until I can get that rum runner at 11.Unfortunately not! Hurricane Hanna's doesn't open until 11AM (and I'm not sure they offer a mimosa). Bill makes a fantastic rum runner though!

For any Epcot fans here (and i know there are a lot) that are also on twitter, I highly recommend this Epcot parody account :
