Maybe similar issues to us and many other people.
The hotel (BC) is in desperate need of a full refurbish but there are no plans for this in the Disney calendar to happen anytime in the next few years. The beds and mattresses are appalling and only get swapped out once someone complains. The wifi is being replaced in parts of the hotel, but other parts are very flaky. We had all our belongings removed from our room and moved to an different room when we complained, without us knowing or our permission. Half the plug sockets worked in either of our rooms and the first room had flickering lights. When I complained to front desk and then when they phoned me for a follow up call after our stay, I was told they are listing all these complaints to push for a renovation as its the only way Disney will move it up the list (or even put it on the list). I could go on for far more detail about the BC. We wanted to visit it for years, have stayed at many other resorts and completely regret going. We received one night refunded (well actually worked out 1.5 times refund as they refunded rack rate), 4 free FPs each a day, free taxis offsite, a fancy dessert sent to the room and 5 free nights to any deluxe hotel in the future. I caution anyone staying at BC to check over the room and beds before you unpack. Pull down the blankets and push the mattresses with your hands. I hope you dont, but I bet you feel the springs.

We had similar issues with the yacht in Nov , and yes we have a free stay at any deluxe offer . I wouldn’t stay there again unless it’s completely refurbed and different manager and it’s certainly not worth the money.

What a fantastic upgrade! 😊 Makes it all the more exciting too, I bet.

Just for some balance. We have stayed at the Beach Club a few times, last in 2018 and have only had great experiences. I am not suggesting reports of others are not accurate but the issues are not whole resort wide either. I hope those of you due to visit BC soon don’t get one of the rooms with issues because it’s a lovely resort.

I am confused at the upgrade though, if Disney felt that a five bed (well 4.5 bed) room at PORS was to small, then how would upgrading to GF help?

So what were are saying here is, book 5 adults into PORS and get a possible upgrade
In cases where you are taking 2 teens, who pay adult prices anyway, then its only booking one more and just book them as adults. Then just wait, if nothing happens you just cancel the extra person, and you can still cancel the extra person after the upgrade if you do get one.

We were supposed to stay at POFQ two years ago and because of construction at another moderate hotel they were swapping people to POFQ and we got upgraded to Grand Floridian! We are a family of four but couldn’t believe our luck. It was lovely you will love it!
We are going back next summer but unfortunately can’t afford Grand Floridian so have booked POFQ but don’t think we will luck out twice! |
