just passing on a few things i learned from our first trip to the Beach club:
1)garden room on the first floor is centrally located to everything you are looking to do. You don't get the balcony, but how much time are you really going to use this feature anyways.
2)the flying jib waterside is entered from outside the fenced-in entrance. You have to have your band scanned first to have entrance in the pool.
3) the sand bottom of the pool is GREAT,but be careful when getting close to the sides. There is no sand there and the gritty (non-slip) surface will scratch you up pretty bad.
4)people leave their towels in the chairs even though they might not be at the pool. I found that if you don't see other belongings there; you should try to snag one.
5)this time of year the pools are open from 9:00-11:00, which is nice use at night if you get back from the parks in time.
6)the lazy river has 7' and 8' depths, so be careful with younger ones who fall of their tube.
7)hurricane Hanna's has Blue power-ade, which the marketplace didn't have. Note: the root beer has caffeine.
8)the marketplace and cape may are located REALLY close to the front desk.
9)from the middle of the hotel it is no more than a 5 minute walk to epcot. When you go through the international entrance there is a fast pass Kiosk right to the left with very helpful CM'S who will set up any requests you need.
10)boat to HS stops at the Swan+Dolphin first and then goes direct to the park.(it takes about 10 minutes)
When the park closed for the night; most of the crowd goes to the buses, so it was nice to get on the first boat.
11) the magical express stops at the Carribean and Yacht before the beach club.
12)park buses go right to Magic kingdom and Ak; while on the return trip they only stop at the Yacht first.
