Following along, as we are booked at Beach Club in September and this will be our first time staying there. The new rooms look amazing! We are so excited for Stormalong Bay and just being so close to Epcot is a plus for us.

Thank you for the pics.
Those rooms at Beach Club certainly put Yacht Club to shame! Yacht has worn carpets and knicked fixtures, and those same fixtures have been in the rooms since forever - I am looking at you headboards and television vanity!!! The Yacht rooms will be a long overdue, vastly welcome upgrade, especially considering how TERRIFIC Beach rooms finished.
BTW, no hate towards Yacht Club as it is our favorite Resort. Just have not stayed with them since 2014, because of the rooms. Cannot wait to head back, once they get the Beach & BoardWalk style renovation!

I stayed at the Beach Club resort last year for the F&W Festival. Do enjoy the Festival during the week. Weekends are crazy busy. It was my first time at the Beach Club, but hopefully not the last. Room was bright. The "garden" view also had a nice view of Illuminations. It was wonderful to be able to walk over to Epcot and the Boardwalk, even Disney Studios.
The counter service restaurant is a bit lacking, but that's probably the only drawback. Best part of the day was coming back from Epcot and relaxing on one of the gliders on the beach. Perhaps even with an adult beverage.

Does the Beach Club have noticeably more families with young children than the Yacht Club? In other words, is the Yacht Club noticeably quieter?
How do they both compare to the Boardwalk in this respect?

I've never stayed in Yacht Club (though I did eat there) so I can't give you a perspective of how quiet the inside of the hotel is as compared to Beach Club. (Yacht Club does have a bit of a Thurston Howell air to it that doesn't appeal to me, but I would stay there if Beach Club were over booked.)
But, they share the same pool, so there's no real difference outside.

Absolutely, unequivocally, yes! The Beach Club lobby, especially in the morning, is filled to the brim with screaming, crying, over tired children playing games as they wait for their table at the character breakfast. It was a huge deterrent for our family.
The Yacht Club side is very quiet, and has far less young children running amok in the lobby. BoardWalk is very similar to Yacht Club in overall quietness in common areas.....except for being on the boardwalk itself in the evening.

Just stayed at Beach Club for the second time in December and LOVED it! I wish I could bottle the smell of the lobby. 
Rooms are gorgeous and you can't beat the location. We do Stormalong Bay in the daytime and the quiet pools at night. The lobby IS busy in the morning but unless you are eating there you can usually avoid it. Can't wait to go back someday!

The smell of the lobby is Green Clover and Aloe.

I'm a rode drop person, I so leave my hotel pretty early and I don't return until all of the parks are closed, so the YC and the BC lobbies seemed the same to me.

Not in December. You could smell the gingerbread carousel well before entering the building.
We have gone to F&W the last several years, and even just this past year, as long as you went from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon, it really wasn't that crowded. Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday early are definitely days to avoid.

There is a huge difference, especially in the mornings for breakfast and in the evenings for the clambake dinner. There are toys brought out for kids to play with, and they are scattered over the floor in the area of the restaurant.

I never ate in the restaurant.
Even when my sons were only seven years old.
Then again, we've only gone to BC in early May and it's quite quiet there at that time of year.
