Pros:
|
chocolate croissant
|
|
Cons:
|
cooked breakfast, seating, size, value for money
|
|
The breakfast was awful. Rubbery eggs, dry sandwich, leftover cheese potatoes that should have been thrown away hours ago. The checkout is shared with the store so can be very slow and very long even in slow season. About four tables inside and another four outside when shared by such two big deluxe resorts is ridiculous and doesn't compare to anything like the other deluxe resort counter service outlets. The only edible food was the pastries which were nice but nothing out of the ordinary.

Pros:

Good for a quick snack
|
|
Cons:
|
selection, no ice in drink machine, layout
|
|
The layout and selection here is not the greatest. The Wilderness Lodge has a better setup for quick service. This is just a hodge podge approach. Its good for a quick snack or quick breakfast. The soda machine was always out of ice and I could see why as kids were like uncontrolled animals at it just wasting soda and ice. If you hit it right its not bad. The shopping side of it was very limited in selection compared to other Delux resorts like Wilderness lodge. The should rethink and expand this area with more food and shopping selections.

Good food, friendly staff
|
|
Cons:
|
Sometimes drinks were out
|
|
We got breakfast here most mornings, and several other snacks. We purchased the refillable mugs as soon as we arrived. We did not use them as often as anticipated, and sometimes several of the drinks would be out and simply dispensing water (ie, citrus tea and hot chocolate). All of the food items we sampled were good: Lemon Cranberry Scone, Ham and Cheese Croissant, French Toast, Blueberry Muffin, fruit cups.

yummy sandwiches
|
|
Cons:

walk from the Yacht Club
|
|
We had two great meals here. The only problem I wish it wasn't that far of a walk to Yacht Club. It wasn't that far but it would be nice to have it closer to the middle of the two resorts.
Make sure you check out the Solarium, that is where we ate. We had it all to ourselves and the kids watched the Disney Channel on our check out day.

TOTAL CONFUSION
|
|
THIS LOCATION IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. COFFEE OUT A FEW TIMES, CREAMERS EMPTY, MESSY SUGARS AND STIRRERS. THE BAKERY CASE WAS A FREE FOR ALL, THE LAYOUT IS BAD. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE IS CONFUSING. THE DESIGN NEEDS TO BE RE-THOUGHT, BUT FOR A MORNING BITE BEFORE HEADING OUT I GUESS IT IS AN OK CHOICE. FORGET EVENING SELECTIONS FOR HOT FOOD. THEY SHOULD TRY TO COPY THE GRAB AND GO AT THE CONTEMPORARY RESORT WHICH SERVICES THE BAY LAKE TOWERS DVC. MUCH MORE INVITING.

They still don't get it here. Make the Solarium a gift shop. Keep all food and food related items in the Marketplace. Make a stand alone location for covers, napkins, straws, and flavored shots. Its a fire drill every morning. Also, stuck up. They ran out of food by 10:00 a couple mornings last week. Once you move the gifts out place some chairs and tables back in there like years ago.

Pros:
|
beverage frig had a decent selection; friendly cashier; great spot for shopping (just not for lunch!)
|
|
Cons:
|
tiny, no seating indoors, very little food variety
|
|
We stopped by here on our way from Epcot to the Studios, hoping to catch a quick bite on the cheap and sit for a spell in the air conditioning. I guess we really should have done our homework first!
Somehow we were under the impression that this was more than a nook in the gift shop. It's perfectly suited for grabbing an apple or a sandwich on your way to the parks, but not at all close to a standard qsl or food court. I guess we were looking for something more like the WL or Poly grab and go fare.
On the up-side, it was clean, and the staff were friendly. We had a bottled beverage and a banana each while perched on the hallway windowsill. This would be a nice spot to hit prior to checking out of the resort...grab a few last-minute gifts, drinks, fruit, a magazine, candy or chips, etc.
There were some tables set up outside, but few were brave enough to sit there in the scorching noon sun.
We were surprised that there weren't any other qsl's here, considering the volume of guests between the YC, BC, and BC Villas. I guess many guests would set aside time for a proper table lunch, or simply prepare one in their villa? Beaches and Cream looked really inviting, but we were told that they were a table service dining option.
We had been considering staying at the BC for our next summer trip, but now we're not too sure that the amazing theme pool would balance out our limited qsl dining options. It really is a very beautiful resort, though!
Ah, well; live and learn!

convenient
|
|
Cons:

cashiers aren't always attentive, crowded at the coffee/soda machines
|
|
I think it was great to be able to have a quick little spot to grab a few food items in a hurry. We got one of the refillable mugs and was able to get coffee through out the day. Also got a few take items (hard boiled eggs, pastries, etc). I didn't order anything from the cooks but it never seemed super busy, only the coffee machines/soda machines were a bit congested at times and the cashiers were sometimes busy talking to one another and not servicing guests (oops!).

Cons:

Limited selection
|

My daughter and I had dinner here on 01/03 and breakfast here on 01/07. Both meals were very good. They had a limited selection, but what they had was very good (and we didn't plan to eat here on many occasions with the proximity to so many other restaurants and EPCOT World Showcase). We had very large sandwiches on good bread for dinner and we had large breakfast sandwiches for our other meal. No complaints from us - it met our expectations.

Pros:

Quality is ok
|
|
Cons:
|
Not many choices
|

The problem with many DVC resorts is the LACK of a good food court/counter service. Beach Club is no exception. The marketplace doubles as the small food area/resort store. Options are very limited but quality is fine. Hubby, mother-in-law and father-in-law and I ate here for dinner on 1/24/11. Father-in-law was less than thrilled with the options and decided not to eat. Hubby and mother in law got the Italian sub sandwich - both enjoyed. I got the typical cheese pizza - was fine. Nothing special. Just wish Beach Club and other DVC resorts had better quick service options. Would go back if we were in need of a quick meal - in this case, we were - having got back later than expected from the Magic Kingdom and too tired to go anywhere else.
