Just wanted to pass the info along, it looks like the rehab of the YC is being pushed back to November.
Thanks so much for the news. This is very helpful info.

Could someone help me please. I am just about to book a garden view room at the Beach Club but noticed they only have 2 queen beds and not a king bed in these rooms? I find it odd that they wouldn't offer king beds in rooms with garden views? Is this the case or is this a typo on Disney's part?
Thanks!
Hi everyone! We arrive at The Beach Club in just two weeks and I am trying to get all of the little details nailed down. We are planning to spend an afternoon and evening at Disney Springs, we have an ADR for Raglan Road which I have heard great things about. Anyway we are driving down and will have our van, so I was wondering if we should drive or take Disney transportation. My mom will have an ecv with her and we will have my DH, DD17 and DD9 too. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Is November really popular this year? We have a reservation but other family want to come and only club level suites are available. It is the tail end of food and wine but I'm still surprised. Maybe more rooms will open up?
What are your dates? We will be at YC June 11-17.Countdown to arrival is almost on one hand! I don't see any outstanding requests right now but if anyone needs us to check on anything while we are at BCVs let me know. I will try my best to give live reports with pictures, including from our room. I will also give an update on the refurb. Anything else?
Also, we are really friendly folks who enjoy a lot of time at SAB. We always try to grab a table in the area in front of where they play water volleyball so if you are there look for us. You can't miss us, we have the big plastic wine and champagne glasses so please come by and say hello and join us for a cocktail.
Let the packing begin!

Could you add us to the Be Our Guest list? We will be at the YC June 9-13. Wish it were longer, but no rooms were available so we are doing a split stay with the Poly.
Thanks for all that you do to keep this thread going!
We just booked a "tentative" Pre-Thanksgiving trip, November 16-22(club level). We usually do Disney in December, so this will be new for us. Have never stayed at YC, so that is new too! Out last 3 trips have been AKL CL. I LOVE AKL, but found CL staff and service to be lacking last year. So much so, that we decided to take a year off from Disney. Well, that lasted about 6 months and now we are trying something new! I look forward to learning all I can before we arrive.
I second this !
Hello Everyone !!
For more than a month now I have been trying to book either The Beach Club or Yacht Club with absolutely no luck !! I have never had this much trouble finding a room at either one so I'm not sure what's going on ?! Does anyone know if there's something going on during my dates which are November 14-17 ? I figured Jersey Week, Veterans Day and Food And Wine guests would most likely be gone by then so ?? I have been trying every single day during different times of the day and nothing ever pops up except for the club level rooms ! I just can't believe I've had no luck

So...I think several things are coming into play. Food and wine falls into the first half of the month and the EPCOT resort area is extremely popular for that. For the villas, rooms were booked up at the 10 month mark and I have had a one day add on waitlisted since before Christmas that hasn't cleared yet and may not. In addition, you have rooms blocked off for the Yacht Club refurb, which reduces the overall inventory of rooms. Finally Jersey week is bigger than you think. Seems a majority of folks we meet at YAB are from NJ and speaking from experience, any time you can book an off peak trip without taking kids out of school, it is an attractive option. Not sure if you have actually called the resort. I did see. Report where folks had success calling when no inventory was available on line.Is November really popular this year?

We almost always drive. The couple of times we have taken a bus the time involved in waiting was extremely long. Even with the construction, once the first garage was open, we found driving to be faster.Hi everyone!

Another thing my husband and I have been enjoying here during our stay is the lounge food at the pool!!!
Honestly, the food at hurricane Hannah's wasn't cutting it for us. So I have been going to the yacht club and ordering a crab cake and 1 of those famous burgers as take out to eat at the pool. They are happy to box it to go, and we get something different! The wings are to die for. And for $12, a great deal as they are very very big!
The people sitting next to us we're going to the Martha's vineyard for their drinks as well as take out muscles and wings. They said the mv drinks were better and cheaper than Hannah's and they had no problem doing a plastic cup. So for those that would like a change from hh food, try the lounges as to go! We saw quite a few people poolside with the take out bags so we're not the only ones
When you say you have been going to the yacht club and ordering to go, what is the name of the lounge? We have been told by both Crew's Cup and captains Geille they can't do take out. They would allow us to be seated, order, have them bring the food and then ask for a box.
Never mind about the where! I forgot they started selling from the Ale and Compass lounge. Going to have to check that out but this isn't really a lunch uption is it? Thought the lounges didn't open until 4 or 5.

I had a reservation for afternoon tea in the Solarium on my arrival date in August, but I received an email saying it was being cancelled the weekend I booked. It would have been nice to try, but I guess it frees up more time to spend at SAB that day instead.
Can't wait to make FP reservations in a couple of weeks!
He cooks and is earning his keep. Mine just sleeps in and lounges. She will do things about the house if I ask, at least. And she has started to bathe regularly.
Isn't it great to have your son cook a meal for you! I love it when my son prepares a meal.
Interesting. Is this the UK site? I'm looking at the Disney booking site in the US, and garden club rooms state this: "2 Queen Beds and 1 Day Bed or 1 Queen Bed and 1 Twin-Size Sleeper Chair and 1 Day Bed or 2 Queen Beds or 1 King Bed and 1 Day Bed or 1 King Bed"
However, the garden club level option says only 2 Queen Beds.
We had a Garden View room in October that had a king bed and pull out couch, it wasn't club level though.
Crews Cup Lounge opens at noon. Ale and Compass opens at 3pm and Martha's Vineyard opens at 4pm.Thought the lounges didn't open until 4 or 5.
Nice. We still have TIW for this trip. And thanks for the heads up on the hours! This might particularly come in handy on arrival day. We are from Maryland so are picky about our crab cakes. Any one have the ones at ale and compass? How are they?Crews Cup Lounge opens at noon. Ale and Compass opens at 3pm and Martha's Vineyard opens at 4pm.
We have bought a drink in one of the lounges and asked for it to be served in a plastic cup to take to the pool so that we could use our Tables in Wonderland discount for the drinks.
