We'll be there for the 4th of July festivities.
or maybe this will be a more appropriate smilie 
DH wants to spend a lot of time hanging out a Storm Along Bay on this trip. 
We are there for the 4th too! If you see someone chasing 2 people in ECV's wearing a button celebrating "Being Goofy", that's me! We are going for Illuminations, but may check out some of these activities before going to the park.We'll be there for the 4th of July festivities.
I planned a mostly BC day after a quick trip to Animal Kingdom to ride Flight of Passage.
We went during a generally slower week last year in September, so that may have something to do with it, but we stayed at BC and not once were the buses full from YC being picked up first. The entire week we never had to stand on the buses. Of all of our trips to WDW, we actually thought the buses and transportation as whole, was the best at BC.
July 2017 Activities Schedule
I'll be on the lookout for you. We will be watching Illuminations, too, but it might be from outside of the park. I've read that they add five minutes of fireworks to the end of Illuminations and those fireworks would be visible from the resort.
The room we stayed at in May is in that section you have labeled "woods view". It was the third dormer roof from the left and we could hear a lot of general noise from Epcot, including the British Revolution. I know that it will be noisy if there is construction at the International Gateway.
You go through the lobby doors and stay to the left. You can't miss the bus stop, it isn't very far away from the doors.
Yes. Much closer!

I am so sorryI have some very, very sad news to share.
Last week, my dear friend Rebecca (HockeymomR), passed away. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor shortly after returning from a family trip to the Beach Club in August 2016. Throughout all of her treatments, she was brave and strong and had a positive spirit. Her mantra was "Just Keep Swimming", and she always had a smile on her face, no matter what struggles she faced.
She was a frequent poster here on the Beach Club FAQ forum for more than a decade, always willing to provide helpful info, a picture and friendship to others.
She had many "Disney friends" who were an important part of her life and who will miss her immensely.
I was fortunate to share two trips to the Beach Club with her as one of her roommates. Our friendship extended beyond our mutual interest in Disney. We spent the past few months frequently talking about our day, sharing pictures, exchanging encouragement and love.
The world has lost a very kind soul.
While she was in hospice for her final days, I wrote a letter about our friendship and emailed it to Rebecca and her husband. I wanted to explain how much Rebecca means to me and why. It was healing for me to write about how our deep bond developed throughout the years.
I have added the tribute to Rebecca in the Orange Banded Monkey trip report. That is probably the best place for any remembrances or condolences you want to share.
back!!!
