Disney Yacht Club Resort

One of the most beloved of the Disney Deluxe Resorts is the beautiful Yacht Club (as well as its twin resort the Beach Club).  Just a few short steps away from the back entrance to Epcot World Showcase, and just a boat ride away from Disney's Hollywood Studios, this resort is right in the middle of the action yet so quiet and secluded that it remains one of Disney's best kept secrets.  

A description by Disney: "Delight in the formal grace of a grand New England-style yacht club at this lakeside hotel. Relax in the inviting elegance of a plush lobby replete with nautical touches, explore the whimsical Stormalong Bay and rent a variety of watercraft from Bayside Marina. Sharing many amenities with its pastel-toned sister, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is walking distance to Epcot and a convenient boat ride to Disney’s Hollywood Studios."

The beautiful main entrance

Disney's Boardwalk entertainment are is just a short walk around this pathway.  Epcot and Hollywood Studios are a short walk away as well!  There simply is no more convenient resort in this price range of Deluxe resorts.  

As you leave the Epcot World Showcase back entrance you will find this sign pointing you towards your "home away from home".

The beautiful beach at Disney's Beach and Yacht Club Resorts

And did I mention the ABSOLUTE best pool on Disney property?  Pirate ship waterslide, lazy rive, and a sandy bottom swimming pool (main pool).  Not to mention multiple quiet pools.

Lazy river

Disney's pool description: Make a splash at Stormalong Bay, a 3-acre water wonderland! Climb the mast of a life-size shipwreck to breeze down one of the highest hotel waterslides at Walt Disney World Resort. Catch currents in the lazy circular river, relax in one of 3 whirlpool spas and soak up the sun on the elevated tanning deck. Children can enjoy the gently sloping, beach entry and have a blast in the kiddie pool—complete with a miniature waterslide.

You can also visit 3 all-ages quiet pools—each with a whirlpool spa—located throughout Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts.

The boat dock to easily get to the main gate of Hollywood Studios!  

Disney's Yacht Club has the beauty and class of the most elegant of Disney resorts.  With the amazing Yachtsman's Steakhouse Signature restaurant, to the wonderful pool area, and the very easy accessibility to Hollywood Studios and Epcot there are so many reasons to consider a stay at the beautiful Yacht Club Resort!
