Just back from the Beach Club

[BirdsOfPreyDave]

Our trip this year was a week at the Wilderness Lodge (2 bedroom w/ friends) followed by a week at the Beach Club Villas (studio for just the two of us). This was our first stay at the BCV, and we've completely fallen for it. The pool is fantastic, you can't beat being right next door to Epcot & Hollywood Studios, and we enjoyed our meals at both Cape May Cafe and Beaches & Cream. The only down sides were the walk to the pool & bus stop and the lack of counter service meal selections at the Market Place. (It's be great to have the Artist's Pallet cloned at the BCV.)

We were holding out to purchase an add-on at the Bay Lake Towers when sales start, but now I'm seriously thinking about calling our guide and asking to be put on a waiting list for the BCV.

We discussed that we'll wait and see what the BLT point chart and sales price look like before making a decision. But now I've gone from being absolutely certain we'd be BLT owners to being up in the air.

We fell for BCV on our 1st stay and did an add on. We'll be there over Thanksgiving week. Still haven't eaten at Cape May's. Seems every year we make reservations and then cancel them for something else.

I think I am going to hold off on BLT and add on at AKV. I am waiting for them to finish it then make my decision. The pool is what will make or break it

Sounds like you had a good time. How were the crowds? How did you like Wilderness Lodge?

My daughter and I recently returned from our first stay at BCV and I agree! Walking to Epcot and Hollywood Studios was the BEST!! The pool was great but crowded while we were there and the counter service had a lot to be desired. We spent a lot of time on the beach building sandcastles ... watch out though... the seagulls came down and literally took a whole hamburger bun and all, out of my hands. It was hilarious!


We are returning this summer and are staying at VWL then to Vero for a few days. Would love to hear anyone's experiences at Vero.
