Ninafeliz I’d just leave it to fate for BC regarding view but ask for a full balcony and then if you don’t like the room you get you can always ask what others are available
back!
When is your trip?
I know that the length of this thread can be intimidating, but my suggestion is to look at Page 1 and then the last 10 or 20 pages to catch up. I try to keep the first page updated with current resort info.
I am not sure how to advise you on the room requests, but I'll make a stab at it.
For the Yacht Club:
I think that most of the rooms with 2 Queen beds (which you would have) should have a tub, but there could be exceptions. Not really sure which rooms have which set ups since the renovation. If the shared balcony is an issue, then I would make "No shared balcony, please" your priority request. Add "Room with bathtub please" and maybe... "not at far end of hallway"
For the Beach Club:
I can't remember. Do any of the club level rooms have a shared balcony? (What about on other floors?). I think not, but if I am mistaken, someone let me know.
As far as I know, all of the rooms at the Beach Club have both a tub and shower, unless it is a handicap-accessible room.
The BC CL SV rooms either look at the front entrance parking lot or they will have a view of the pebble rooftops (and maybe the pool, or Crescent Lake beyond). I personally don't think I would mind that, but others have said they don't want to see rooftops.
My suggestion for a room request for the Beach Club is "Full balcony please". There is a higher percentage of full balconies at club level than in the standard rooms of the resort, I think it is about 75-80%.
This is a bit belated, but thanks so much for your help! Natebenma, that was super helpful!
Our trip is June 10-14 YC CL SV and June 14-18 BC SV CL.
After a LOT of debate, I think I have firmed up my requests. For the YC I am going to put #1 Private Balcony #2 Bathtub #3 close to lounge with best view possible please. For the Beach Club I put Full Balcony is first priority then close to lounge and best view possible please. I added this in to the comments for touring plans fax, and I will email DSS with it as well. I am trying to mentally just prepare to take what we get and not worry about it, because I tend to get worked up about little things and then realize they don't matter that much! So I couldn't manage to just not make requests, or not try for the "ideal" room, but as long as we have a fun trip I'm determined to not stress about the view (I really do think I would hate that shared balcony though . We would be too stressed to let out kids out there in case they would bother the neighbors, because how can you let 4 kids on a huge balcony and not let them run around some. Plus I wouldn't want to leave the curtains open in case we looked up and someone was right there. But who knows, maybe we'll get "stuck" with it and it will turn out to be great!).
Looking forward to a fun trip - we've never stayed at the BC before and have never done a split stay before, so we have a few firsts. We also have the Club level FPs booked for June 12 at Epcot in the AM and DHS in the PM and AK on the 16th, so looking forward to trying that as well! Because we booked late and still haven't firmed up everything, I haven't been able to get Beaches and Cream or Sci Fi reservations, but I'll keep trying
Thanks for all of the great info - I'm following along but didn't get to catch up on all of the pages since our last YC trip a few years ago since there are so many! This thread goes fast
