Review of Beach Club Villas (Disney Vacation Club)

Our favorite place to stay when going to Disney each year is the Beach Club Villas. Everything about the Beach Club makes for a perfect memorable vacation. The location could not be better in particular for proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.
We are Vacation Club members so have many choices of where to stay. The cast members are readily availble for assistance or repairs if needed ..
We stayed at Beach Club in April and already have reservations for 2014.

Good food choices. Nice condiment bar. Only complaint - lots of messy tables and lack of workers cleaning them up. For the price you pay to stay @ AK, should never have to wipe down your own table. Close to the pool area and the main lobby which is a plus.
Pros:
good food choicesCons:
need more bus people cleaning tablesReview of Walt Disney World's Magical Express

As vacation club members, we have taken this bus numerous times. Considering the high volume of guests they transport, I think they do a fantastic job & you don't pay extra for it. Key reason for staying on Disney property. More people need to tip these drivers - they work for surprisingly lower wages, under a lot of stress, not to mention have to put up with a lot of "cranky" travelers.
Pros:
timely - well organizedCons:

Go here strictly for the sake of your children getting photos with Pooh & gang - if you have older children or are childless - would recommend going elsewhere.
Pros:
characters stop @ each table for photosCons:

If you have the money and want to indulge in a little food luxury, this is your best plan. Does provide you with a lot of food. Felt like we wasted a lot of food (especially desserts -were just too full). Liked having appetizers. Cost effective - we would have spent way more money eating like this if paying cash.
Pros:
a nice luxury - money saverCons:

Was impressed by the food here. Restaurant is open smack in the middle of the hotel, can be loud. Tables are crammed in there too close together. Would go back again, but try to time it for mid-afternoon when a little less crowded.
Pros:
very good foodCons:

This is our home resort vacation club but have only stayed here twice. Good location, but need to have an inside casual food place to get a snack, fill up drink mugs, instead of having to walk out onto the boardwalk. Still a nice resort. Boardwalk used to have more entertainment, but that seems to have decreased over the years. Rooms are very nice & overall I would recommend this resort.
Pros:
location to Epcot/Hollywood StudiosCons:

Love the hot masala chai -- it's my favorite, even on a summer day -- and the China Green Jasmine is excellent. Can't go to AK without stopping here any time of year. Ask about the flavors, etc. if you haven't tried something before, but if you like tea at all, go ahead and be adventurous. You'll be glad you did.
Pros:
Not like the tea available at the grocery store!Cons:

We ate here in May 2013. We had the tomato basil soup along with corn dogs from across the street. The soup was very good, and it tasted great with the corn dogs! We also had the coconut matterhorns for dessert and they were great. I love Mary Poppins and the theming in the bakery is lovely. The seating outdoors was nice. This is a great place for lunch.
Pros:
great soup and amazing dessertsCons:

Great corn dogs! We ate here in May 2013. We took our corn dogs across the street to the Jolly Holiday Bakery and ate them with the tomato soup from there. Great combination! It was a quick and tasty lunch.
