Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

[maryj11]

They sell Powerade but it might be individual bottles.

Ok I'm guessing that would be expensive to buy 8 of them

Where can I find a list of prices for snacks, cereal, and bottled drinks sold at the Marketplace?

If I were you, knowing where you live, I would make inquiries about the availability of hotel rooms down at WDW after your "ressie" times out and also you might want to check with the airline about changing flights before all the unsold seats disappear.

I think that Ninja Mom has some good advice.

Here is the weather advisory from JetBlue, with a link to change flights:

I was once at the BC, when my return flight was delayed a day, due to WX back home. I spoke with someone in the back office at the BC, and they extended my reservation, at the originally booked room rate.

Hope that everything works out well. I imagine the kids won't mind an extra day down there!

And this is why I love this thread!

lol PRECIOUS!

If I were you, knowing where you live, I would make inquiries about the availability of hotel rooms down at WDW after your "ressie" times out and also you might want to check with the airline about changing flights before all the unsold seats disappear. There are pretty much going to be travel delays and since you are traveling with your precious ones do you really want to risk the 9th circle of hell as you sleep on the soft and cushy MCO floor hoping for an opening on the plane?

Monday should be fine to fly, Tuesday for damn sure. The last time snow on this scale happened I remember people stating that it was 5 days before they could find a flight with open seats and some people had to resort to renting a car and driving back since the airline situation was so impossible. Right now there may be hope for Monday or Tuesday. The moment the airlines issue that travel advisory (and they will) all hope is lost. Jump on it and beat the UNWASHED MASSES to the punch. After all, what is a day or two extra, in the lap of Disney luxury, knowing that your travel plans are delayed but set.

Drink up sweetie, drink up....

You are flying into BWI correct? Hockey Mom, do you concur?

PS. Before flurries even started to fall, American Airlines announced it would cancel all of its Saturday flights and reduce the number of Friday evening flights at Philadelphia International Airport. http://www.bizjournals.com/philadel...-flights-cancel-phl-airport-snow.html?ana=fbk

Yep - we're flying into BWI. I'm definitely going to check at the front desk tomorrow. The good thing is we fly out later on Sunday, so if the storm ends Saturday, we have a bit of a shot at having things cleared. My vote is to rent a car and drive home if it comes to that. But we'll see. We were at the pool chatting with a family from near the Maryland border who are supposed to leave Saturday.

I'd be sort of happy with an extra day or two. Although my coworkers might not be pleased. We're staying on rented points in a 2 BR villa. That price scares me a bit. But we'll see what happens. All we can do is watch as things develop.

And I think I have a good argument for my husband about taking our next big vacation in August. It's hot. But we won't have to dig our car out of a BWI lot.

You will just have to watch out for hurricanes in August. Hurricane Erica was supposed to hit Florida for our August trip. The governor had even declared a state of emergency and the airlines were threatening to cancel flights. We held firm and didn't make any changes. The hurricane never hit Florida and we had almost empty parks because so many people had cancelled their vacations.

Where can I find a list of prices for snacks, cereal, and bottled drinks sold at the Marketplace?

DVC members can ask for a grocery list that includes the items and prices at all the gift shops connected to a DVC resort. I had one for last February. But I'm not a DVC member so I haven't been able to get a recent copy.

Just wanted to say to all of my friends in the path of this weekend's snowstorm, be safe, warm and may your pantries and fridges be stocked with all the bread, milk and eggs you need. It doesn't sound like it will hit my neck of the woods quite as much as it will south of us.

thanks Dee. Got the essentials including my Malibu and pineapple juice.

Yes, but that list is from 2010.

I concur! I certainly do. Tara - get that flight changed. I am 20 minutes from BWI and we are looking at 18 - 24 inches starting tomorrow afternoon. My advice would be change that flight!

Enjoy the rest of your trip. Think Monday you should be safe to fly but Sunday, even later, would be very questionable. Good luck!

We changed from a Blizzard "Watch" to Blizzard "Warning" earlier today. There is no bread, milk, eggs or TP left on the shelves in the Washington / Baltimore corridor! I have my wine and I am ready!

SOOO excited! First deluxe, first time at Beach Club (Sept 28-Oct 2 2016)! First time at F&W! First adults-only trip!! Woo-hoo!!!

We snagged a BB offer for a garden view on our Thanksgiving week trip....looking at the resort layout, it seems there are a whole lotta garden view!

I was going to click "Like," but it just did not seem appropriate.

Hope you stay warm and safe inside.

Good luck and be safe! I've been there and done that before except ours was only 22 inches.

I'm in the 18'' - 30'' section.
Just north of Baltimore city.

My parents are in disney. My brother and his wife flew down Thursday night. My sister's flight was supposed to leave Friday night, but it was canceled. So her and her husband hopped in their car and headed south about 6 hours ago. They should be there by morning.

Meanwhile I'm hunkering down. Currently living at my parents house, which is good because they have a woodstove and a fireplace so if power goes out I'll still be warm.



A totally unrelated snow topic.
My trip in march is on the chopping block. Hubby recently got a really bad ankle sprain at work and has been out since last wednesday. Doctors say another week until he can work again. He has yet to tell his work about our vacation. He thinks it will just be easier if we canceled or rescheduled so he didn't anger his employer with taking more work off right now. I guess this would happen after paying off the reservation, buying new luggage, and buying 5 new outfits for disney.

 

[mieuxmew]

Staying at Beach Club for a work conference next month. I'm bringing my 75 year old mom who has not been to Disney in decades. Any room request suggestions? (we are booked as standard view) Does the room have robes? Thanks!


Safe travels to everyone this weekend! We are preparing for the blizzard.

 

[shoreward]

It appears that there is suddenly very good room inventory at BC/YC this weekend, whereas there was more limited availability, when checking earlier, this week.

Winter Storm Jonas will be impacting WDW, as well, just not in the same way as it will, farther north.

Again, wishing everyone in the storm's path a safe and unevenful hunkering down. We will all be thinking of you.

Maybe if and when we get stuck here, we'll get a nice room at BC/YC. The downside to renting points, we have a 2 BR villa right now. I don't want to think about the daily rate for this sucker. The plan is to rent a car and drive at this point. It will be like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles meets Vacation. Minus the dead granny strapped to the roof of the car.

If you do decide to postpone your return by a day or two and want to keep costs down, Orbitz has the promo code "bestvacay" right now, which can be applied toward a Disney resort booking. Both BC and YC have Standard View rooms available. Just think, if you stay an extra day, you could see Teena, one last time, before you both depart WDW.

 

[tarak]

Flight cancelled. Van booked. DD12 just started singing "Jesus, Take the Wheel."

Shoreward - that's awesome. I'm hoping to sneak in a visit to see Teena on Sunday.
