....oh, that must be recent...we were there in July and food was still available....

The permanent location was still open in July; that's why the full menu was available. That location is now being refurbished, so B&C is operating from a temporary location, till about December. That temp location only serves ice cream.

They didn't close for refurb until August I think it was (it was originally earlier but they delayed it until August).

Okay, finally caught up again. We were at BC Aug30-Sep6 for Dorian. We originally were supposed to check out the 5th, but they called on Sunday the 1st about my request to extend a day (still unsure at that time what Dorian would do). We had a wonderful stay in1575 (GV). 2 queens and a daybed. Regular tub and setup for bathroom with sinks outside the door from the tub (double sinks). I don’t have pictures of the room (bell services was 30 seconds behind me). But I do have a few photos of the view from the patio. We faced the volleyball court & SAB. We saw Goofy and Donald in the lobby a couple of afternoons (they even joined a small soccer game) and got a picture with them. If you look closely at one of the photos, you can see what my sister named “The Sunday Bunnies”.

Of course I forgot to mention- we had the Keurig. Had k-cups of regular and decaf, and Twinings English Breakfast as well as Green Tea.

........ ahhhh....

...if you look up those 'blue' rooms on the other side of the volleyball court, on the top [4th floor], our room was right around the corner, directly facing the lake...

Does anyone know what floor they are currently working on at Beach Club? I read they are doing updates and was curious to their progress. Thx

Thoughts appreciated. We have a BOG at 8:55am reservation. We are staying at Beach Club and the park opens at 7 am I believe for resort guests. We are not early risers and have plans to head to the bus at 7:45 ish. Would it be wiser to walk to YC bus stop st that time in the morning? Trip is over Columbus Day weekend. Thx

Dee, I don’t think I ever asked to be added to the Be Our Guest list! Had to reschedule our Labor Day trip and couldn’t find a continuous stay, so have to “settle” for a split stay at our 2 favorite resorts. We will be at the YC from 10/11-10/12 following 2 nights at the Poly. Now to rearrange our plans to add in more resort time!!!

I definitely would....... 7:45 can be a tough time at the BC stop. It's luck of the draw but with an ADR why chance it.

Personally, I would always walk over to YC if I wanted to get on a bus to a park.

Also, if I had an ADR I would have a back-up plan in case I could not get on a bus in time: stand outside the YC main entrance and request alternate transportation. Minnie Van if I needed car seats; Uber or Lyft if I did not need car seats. Have valet parking person get me a cab if I did not need car seats and did not want to use Uber or Lyft.

I think everyone who would consider using Uber or Lyft should download the apps before they leave home and know how to use them. There is a great thread on the transportation board if you have questions. If you are not comfortable with Uber or Lyft but want to use Minnie Van -- remember that you need the Lyft app to request the Minnie Van.

Heading back to WDW with the hubby and 3 daughters for a split stay 11/14-11/23. 1 night at YC garden view then over to BC deluxe room for 8 nights. Just made our fast passes this morning!! Could we please be added to the Be Our Guest list? Thanks so much!!

How old are your little ones?
We'll be there the same dates and my shy 5 year old son will be looking for some friends to play with at the pool!
I have a 2 year old son also but he'll be happy playing on his own

Were you in the hotel or DVC? We will be in a two-bedroom in January and we will want to bring lots of coffee (five women)--the other DVC's I have stayed in had regular pots. Thanks!

DVCs don’t have Keurigs, as far as I know.

We were in regular BC- not BCV. I thought with regular kitchens that the villas had regular coffee pots, but I’ve never stayed in that part of the resort. Hope you have a great stay!

Thanks Ladies!

Hi @natebenma (Dee) when you get a chance can you add us to the BOG list please . We will be returning June 30, 2020 - July 12, 2020. Right now we are booked at BC but are hoping to switch to BCV studio. We loved having the little kitchenette this past trip and the set up of the room.
* Not BC/YC related* Once we checkout on July 12th we are venturing outside the bubble and renting a home for 8 nights. We plan on moving down to the area in about 5 1/2 years( husband retires ) and we want to do some exploring.

Leaving tomorrow to meet family for the "Trip with the Cousins" and all staying at the Beach Club! I actually have been to Disney six times and only stayed there, so it is obviously my favorite spot! Will post a trip report when we return home!

Anyone at Beach Club or BCV RIGHT NOW that wants a few aluminum bottles of bud light, a few shots of Buffalo Trace bourbon, brand new gold peak sweet tea, and scones? Leaving the room in about 30 minutes and I would love to give this away.

Met a nice family on the way to check our bags and the dad accepted the alcohol. I left the tea in the 4th floor bcv laundry room. Someone else had left a couple of items and diapers also.
