I am staying here in Feb. as well. I wouldn't switch your plans around. While I have never stayed in the YC I did get to see a room back in November. Its just a little dated. Still a nice hotel with a great location. For those reasons alone I wouldn't switch. The Y&B has the best pool on property too, if that's something you do in your free time at Disney

Any news? Updates? I still would not stay at Yacht, and get a room over on the Beach side with a full balcony. They are just that much nicer. The Yacht furniture, some of it is from 1990 I swear--that dresser and the low chest of drawers under the TV, ancient.

Well the BC rooms were just referbed 2 years ago. So they are much nicer than the YC but the Yacht Club still is nice. I've been in both rooms, never stayed at YC but I wouldn't cancel a stay there just because the room is a little more dated. Just my two cents.

The value is far decreased. The rooms between Yacht & Beach are about the same exact price. For a new room, that was gutted and then rebuilt at the Beach, you would be paying the same price for a highly dated and heavily worn room at Yacht.
Let me say that Yacht is my fav Resort!

That's a fair point. I still prefer the Boardwalk to either YC or BC though
Great choice. As far as Club Level, I/we will pick the Innkeeper's Club at BoardWalk over Yacht/Beach Club Level regularly. BoardWalk is overall fantastic, especially those boardwalk view rooms. Yacht and BWI are my top two Resorts, with BC in 3rd. BWI has the edge right now because of much nicer rooms than over at YC.
Enjoy your next stay!

The InnKeeper's club is the best! Yes, can't beat those boardwalk views. Stayed in the VP Suite over the summer and it just reassured me how much I love the resort!!
In other news...I'll be staying at the YC in two weeks. Its only for one night as I've changed my plans to fly in a day early. But I will update this thread with some pictures from the room when I get back!

Right. It was a King Bed room.
The headboards looked great and the flooring was too. I also really liked the step in shower and glass door. The rooms still maintained their navy coloring, too.
I'd like to see one with 2 queens and the sofa bed. The sofa beds have been quite nice, and comfy, at other locations.

That's a huge improvement! When did they begin the renovations? Do we know how many floors are completed, or are the 5th floor rooms the only ones finished as of right now?
Wow, those pictures are great of the new rooms. Wonder how far along they are if people are potentially already staying in some.

Now that room is more upscale and so much nicer than the old style room. I would much rather pay to stay at Yacht now that their rooms are updated.
We will be back to Yacht very soon, maybe for a race weekend.

Here's the link to the photos of Yacht Club's refurbished room: http://allears.net/acc/g_yc.htm
Not to be a downer here, but personally, I'm a bit disappointed. It seems like every time Disney refurbishes the rooms at a deluxe resort, they make them less themed and more like a regular upscale hotel. Theming is sort of why I go to Disney...

Totally agree. Bathroom is nice, but the room lacks any character or real theme.

I think the colors play a great part in the nautical theme. Crisp white linens against lots of navy and some nice brass accents. And the wooden style floor looks terrific, as do the two toned walls. The pattern on the headboard wall is a nice complement to the cream colored walls, which allow the white ceiling border to pop. Huge improvement. I really like the refurb.
