Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

[cjlong88]

So anyone who has taken the Magic Express lately tell me who besides YC do we ride share with? Also , the drop off order from MCO please?

In February we were on a DME with people going to 5 different resorts and YC was the #4 stop. Our driver told us he would let us know the order on the way to the resort once he figured out the most effective route. I think the drivers try to make it so they don't have to zig zag across property? Could totally be wrong. I don't think there is any way to tell where you will be in the order since it changes based on who else is on the bus and what the driver thinks is the best route.

Does anyone have the movies under the stars schedule for May? I’m wondering what movie will be playing Friday night while we are there.

Where can I find the recreation calendar for May? I scheduled my resort day for a Wednesday with a cabana rental and then found out there is no campfire or Movie under the stars that day. Wondering what other activities there will be.

I just downloaded the picture from my cellphone. I had a really hard time getting a picture that was decent.

We took the Magic Express this morning at it made the following stops in this order:
Caribbean Beach
Riviera
Boardwalk
Yacht Club

We have taken the ME many times and this is a common route for it. But it doesn't always follow the same route.

So Beach Club is last?

It would just depend, although if there are YC guests on board, I would be willing to predict that they would get dropped first just because of the way the resorts are laid out.

Hey current or recent YC/BCV folks--have you run into wait times for the pool? If so, when and how long were the waits? Thanks

I talked to a CM at SAB this afternoon and he said that there were wait times yesterday but none today. He said that they don't really close the pool, they just escort guests to their lounge chairs. He said that they close all the entrances when they do this and everyone has to enter at one entrance. The pool was busy today but they never had a wait list.

There wasn't anyone going to the Beach Club on our bus today. But it usually is the last stop.

Friends - make sure to check any summer travel plans if you were waiting for a room only discount. New offer dropped today for "most nights 7/11-9/29"

While something is better than nothing, BC and YC are clocking in at a whopping 15%.

We have been at BCV since Saturday. There are a noticeable number of rooms with the lights on at night on the hotel side, at least 15-20 easily seen walking over from Epcot. Have they started booking rooms already? I thought that the hotel was opening up around the first of June.

From the YC you can access the path to HS two different ways. If you head out the back towards the Marina you can go left or right around Crescent Lake. Left will take you past the BC and over to the BW where you will eventually pick up the path to HS. If you take a right from the YC you will head towards the Swan & Dolphin over the bridge and pick up the path just behind The Atlantic Dance Hall.
This is the quicker way [in my opinion] to walk to HS from YC.

If you do opt for the BW route there is a shortcut to the HS path via the pool that will save you a few minutes and steps. Simply go left just past the green and before the Screendoor Store. Past Wyland Galleries, quick right to the pool, bear left around the pool and you'll pick up the path.

Yes depending on where you are at the YC it may be faster to walk toward the Dolphin and over the bridge by the Swan and pickup the path behind Atlantic Dance.

My TA just emailed and said she was able to apply the discount to our BC stay in August. We are saving over $1100. I'm thrilled! Now, if I could just get some rooms to open up at the Poly for the end of our stay, I'd be all set...

They are clearly trying to funnel guests to certain resorts by discount. I have never seen such varied discounts like this before with so many resorts falling under different percentages.

No the discounts are based on filling excess capacity. So the biggest discouts are for resorts with lowest booked occupancy during the time period.

That is literally what I wrote.

From the YC you can access the path to DS two different ways. If you head out the back towards the Marina you can go left or right around Crescent Lake. Left will take you past the BC and over to the BW where you will eventually pick up the path to HS. If you take a right from the YC you will head towards the Swan & Dolphin over the bridge and pick up the path just behind The Atlantic Dance Hall.

i think it sounds like you are correct the non boardwalk, non left out of marina way is quicker. doesn't make sense to go all the way around left out of the back of yc away from dhs...so the video on all ears that's the route she takes. i guess it's great though if you want bakery items for your walk but the bakery may not be open so early if you're trying to get there before dhs opens

I found out some information about Cape May. There is a plan for Cape May to open on May 18th. The food will be served family style when it reopens.

We can see that they have added plexiglass panels between the booths in the restaurant.

 

[disneyworldsk]

so i got a yc june discount , the one that has two free tickets (?) , something like that. This discount sounds better though (i didn't do the math), i guess they won't give that to me if it's better then the one i got for june stay...

Do you know if characters will make an appearance?

This is what I've been waiting on. I've missed Cape May so much!
