Disney World is my go-to place for family fun and memories. My husband and I have been taking the kids since they were babies. We have stayed at and visited most of the resorts. With more than 25 Disney Resorts to choose from, Disney's Yacht Club Resort often makes the short list of fan favorites. It is definitely one of ours!
Why Choose Disney's Yacht Club Resort?
Disney's Yacht Club Resort is situated in the Epcot area, right beside its sister resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort. The New-England style nautical theming will transport you to a world of seaside charm and elegance. This stunning resort is packed with a plethora of perks that will make your Disney experience unforgettable. Here are just a few reasons my family keeps coming back to Disney's Yacht Club.
Stormalong Bay
Disney Yacht Club is home to Stormalong Bay. This pool is arguably the BEST at any Disney resort. It features a lazy river and a sand-bottom pool area. Guests receive wristbands upon arrival to ensure only those staying at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club have access.
Campfire and Movies Under the Stars
While all resorts offer Movies Under the Stars and most have campfires, I love the setup at Disney's Yacht Club. Adirondack chairs are arranged right on the beach. Sometimes, you might even find a pop-up glow party here!
Fireworks
Epcot fireworks can be viewed from the Boardwalk area in front of this resort, as well as from many rooms. Watching the fireworks from the comfort of your room is a magical experience!
Accessibility
The Yacht Club is a very short walk to Epcot and a quick ferry ride to Hollywood Studios. If you're up for a slightly longer walk, there is a scenic path that can take you to Hollywood Studios from the resort.
Sunsets
You can see beautiful sunsets over Crescent Lake while walking along the Boardwalk, or from many resort rooms. These moments make for wonderful photo opportunities.
Extended Evening Hours
The Yacht Club is a Deluxe Resort. On select nights, extended evening hours are offered at select parks. If you plan to take advantage of these extended hours at Hollywood Studios or Epcot, this location is ideal!
Beaches and Cream Soda Shop
While this deluxe resort has many food offerings, including a character breakfast, Beaches and Cream Soda Shop is a unique 50s-style ice cream shop. They serve delicious sandwiches, but the main attraction is the ice cream. This is the spot where you will find Disney's famous Kitchen Sink sundae. This sundae, made for sharing, is big in every way. It comes out with a special announcement and flashing lights.
With all these fantastic features, it's no wonder that Disney's Yacht Club Resort is a favorite among families. Whether you're splashing around in Stormalong Bay or enjoying a cozy movie night by the beach, your family will create memories that last a lifetime. So, what are you waiting for? Let's make your Disney dreams come true!
