we are tentatively booked Aug 30 - Sep 4, 2020. BCV. Waiting on school calendars to be finalized.
Got it!
I'll pencil you in on the Be Our Guest list on Page 1, Post 15.
You can let us know if your dates change. Or not. Whatever!
I am finally getting around to posting pictures of the room we stayed in at the Beach Club in December. We had booked a standard view room but when we arrived we found out that they had put us in a garden view room - # 1581. This room was only a few doors away from the BC Marketplace, which was very convenient. It looked out on the garden just above the volleyball court. It had a lovely patio and a view of Crescent Lake if you looked to the left. If you looked to the right you saw the windows for the Marketplace and for the Sandcastle Club. One night when I was closing the curtains I saw a troop of pirates heading off to find their treasure, and dinner.
They came out of the doors to our right and walked across the lawn on their way to their pirate ship. It was very cute.

I will put a copy in the BC room view thread.
Once again, thanks for the detailed description of your room and for adding it to our collection on the View Thread!
That is so cute about the pirate parade!
How are you going to submit them? We called and added room requests to our last stay, which was at the CBR and when we checked in, they didn't have ANY of the requests we made over the phone.
Submit your room requests as you did before, by phone, to the Central Reservations Office- or have your
travel agent do it if you booked your room using that service.
About a week before your trip, call CRO again and ask them to read your request back to you so you know they have it listed correctly.
When you check-in, either by going to the room or at the front desk, if you discover that your requests were not met, before settling into the room, go to the front desk to see if there is a room available that you can switch to that has the attributes you are looking for. If not, but you are willing to change rooms during your stay, ask when a room that meets your requests will become available.
Thanks Dee. August trip is off - just the 10 days in July.
August we will be doing a week in St. Augustine!
St. Augustine is on my bucket list. I'll have to tap your expertise if we plan a trip there.
Someone asked about options for getting from Beach Club to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Last summer it was so hot and humid I used Lyft a lot. It cost $7.96 to get from BC to DHS. On another day it was $8.06. (I added a tip to those costs.) You can go on the Lyft or Uber app when you're home and price out rides from one place to another. Just make sure you don't confirm the ride or they will think you are there waiting to be picked up and will charge you a cancellation fee when you don't show up for the ride. When you're there, you want to have both apps on your phone because you never know which one will be giving out discounts.
If I were there now and it was really important to me to get to DHS to do the boarding group thing for the new Star Wars thing, I would Uber or Lyft. For me personally, Disney is hard on my feet and my back. I don't want to start my day with a 20 minute walk. And you just never know when those boats are going to show up.
Once again, thanks for the input and sharing the cost of a Lyft to HS.
and thanks so much for your kind words!!!
and it looks like the connecting door is the perfect place to park it!
. Most of the family took the boat which was boarding as we were leaving HS. My daughter and I, pushing a stroller, made it to Epcot before the rest of the family with time to spare. Again, a long walk, but if you're up to it, it's wonderful. Coming from Wisconsin, I'm just happy to enjoy some fresh WDW air come the beginning of March.
