I don't think you missed the info. We have very little info about the cabanas, and what we do have is a bunch of conflicting info regarding prices and hours. Some reports have the half-day as 10-2 and 2-6 (4 hours each), but we have also seen 10-3 listed as the half-day hours.
I just read up on the generic cabana info posted by shoreward above, and there is no mention of the number of guests permitted in a single cabana.
If you wish, you could call the reservation number, (407) WDW-PLAY, (407) 939-7529 to inquire about price, availability and maximum capacity for a day during an upcoming trip.
On a related note- I have never looked into renting a cabana at any of the resorts. Do you have to be a guest of that resort to rent a cabana there? Or can someone staying at a different resort, or even off-site, rent a cabana at one of the restricted pools?
I just called about renting a cabana for a Sunday in late September, unfortunately, these are booked 180 days in advance, so I can't book quite yet, but here is the information that I received:
These are the full cabanas with two lounge chairs and two straight back chairs, they have a TV, Bluetooth speaker, resort phone, fan, refrigerator stocked with soda and water, fruit, and a CM for assistance (I may have missed another minor amenity but those are the ones I caught).
Max of 6 guests
Full day rental is 10-7. Half day is either 10-2 or 3-7. Pricing for my day was much lower than the previous poster for our dates the full day was $211.94, half day $137.39, but again this is seasonal so it may be different for a different time frame.
These are the two posts from the YC Room View thread for Room 5173
I don't think I have anything for 5185
We were recently discussing this room because of the curtain you could pull to separate the room, but I'm guessing it is no longer there.
@Scott MC Can you confirm that?

That is the exact price 211.94 they charged me for a half day. I’m going mid-May, so not high season. I think I’m going to call back. The girl who booked mine sounded pretty confused.I just called about renting a cabana for a Sunday in late September, unfortunately, these are booked 180 days in advance, so I can't book quite yet, but here is the information that I received:

Thanks for the response. I did try calling the reservation number, but I was told that they only handle the cabana rentals for the Polynesian and Grand Floridian. She said I'd have to call the actual hotel, but I haven't had a chance to do that yet.I don't think you missed the info.

I thought so too!(407) WDW-PLAY, (407) 939-7529, is the number I called about these and if I had been in the booking window the CM could have booked for me. I think the CM you got was misinformed,
So I have a few questions about these cabanas. I called today to reserve a half day on May 20th. We just got our waitlist for BCV for the 15th-22nd. The cost with tax was $211. This isn’t something we would normally do, but it will be our first warm weather trip with my daughter, who turns one the day before we leave. I thought guaranteed shade for her on our pool day would be nice. I read on here that a half day was 10-3 but the lady I booked with told me it was 4 hours? Do we know which is correct? Also, where are they building these? Is it closish to the sandy/ zero entry area for my daughter? Thanks!
FWIW, half-day at other resorts with cabanas (GF, CY, Poly, for example) is 10-2 and 3-7.
The $211 is for a half-day? I need to go check what I’ve paid at GF and CR, but that seems pretty steep relatively speaking if my memory is correct (may not be, I need to check). Guess they are confident in their product.
From a pic posted a couple of pages back, yes, they are near the sandy/zero entry part of SAB.
Okay. That makes sense on the times. We are headed to moonlight magic at Epcot that night, so that should work to let little one have a nap before we go. It did seem expensive. We may end up canceling, but wanted to go ahead and reserve in case we really do want it.

I'm planning to do the Regatta Run even though I haven't been able to do much training with the ice and snow and sub-zero temperatures we have had this month. But I will manage.
The regatta run is only like 1.7 miles so I think you’ll be okay
Following along! We are not arriving till July but I would like to know if I should pack some K-Cups or our travel coffee pot. I get up pretty early and most places are not open yet for coffee and I am not a fan of the Joffrey's pods. Hoping they are switching all the rooms to K-cup coffee makers.Any recent reports on the status of K-cup coffee makers at BC? I know some have reported they’re in the process of swapping out the old pod machines, and I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth it to throw some k-cups into my carryon for the weekend. I don’t want to lug them along if I’m not going to be able to use them, but it’s worth it if there’s a good chance I’ll have a keurig. And if it’s still the pod machines in most rooms, is it still the meh Joffrey’s coffee pods?
This is really why DH prefers YC or having a CL room, so he doesn’t have to deal with my ongoing quest for drinkable coffee each morning. But the quest is a must, I need to be caffeinated for the safety of the other parkgoers.
I booked for August today. I was quoted $211 for 1/2 day and charged $318 for full day. He definitely mentioned seasonal pricing.
It must be seasonal because I have reserved one for April 25th for half day and it was $211.I just called about renting a cabana for a Sunday in late September, unfortunately, these are booked 180 days in advance, so I can't book quite yet, but here is the information that I received:

Is the booking paid in full at the time booked and non-refundable? We're going in August and want to book, but not 100% sure yet!
FWIW, they could run these differently I guess, but for other resort cabanas, payment is due in full at the time of booking and they have a one day cancellation policy with full refund.
We arrived at the airport at 10:30 a.m. and were at the BC by 11:30.
