Disney's Yacht Club Resort

Brinton Latour

While at Disney, we stayed at The Disney's Yacht Club Resort. It was a really great resort. It is located at the back entrance to Epcot for easy access. It also has direct access to both a boat launch and the skyliner to maneuver around the different parks. The resort is considered a Deluxe Resort Hotel, which means you get early access to the parks, and some nights, you are able to stay later depending on the park and the night. It was a great resort, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I love this resort. It is a little bit pricey, but that is to be expected at a Disney hotel. We enjoyed our time there. The resort is beautiful and it’s great to be able to walk to Epcot and easily take the sky away to Hollywood Studios.

This was my first time staying here, and I was in love with the room's and resorts location. I booked a resort view room and got a great view of the lake. I loved the updated decor in the room. However, it looked like they skipped the bathroom full update and did some minor updates. One major con of the rooms is the lack of soundproofing. I could hear people on the boardwalk, the boats, people -kids in the hallway at 1am, and the people next door very clearly. You also know when all 3 parks are doing their fireworks, Hollywood Studio was the loudest , then Epcot and even MK. The pictures i got were of MK fireworks. The beds were very comfortable, and the rooms were cleaned daily.

Large room with balcony and much more storage than value and moderate resorts. We had a view of Epcot fireworks which was great, and it seems like a lot of rooms would have a fair view. Pool is very large and good for kids and adults. Ale and compass to go was great twice. Can walk to Epcot and Hollywood, long walks but good to have the option. Busses every 20 min to MK/AK.

This was our second time here and we love it. Have stayed at probably about half the Disney hotels and in every category, and this is our favorite. Being able to walk to two parks really gives it the edge. The entire walking area and over to the boardwalk is so nice. Not only the location to two parks, but its center for the other two. If you stay in one of the bay lake deluxe hotels, you’re a pretty good drive away from three parks. It’s a very quiet resort. Even when you’re by the pool it’s not nearly as loud as the pools at the value resorts. It has such a laid back feeling. We love the contemporary also, but the yacht club just feels so much more laid back. The ambiance of the lobby and common areas is calm and relaxed. The restaurants at both the yacht/beach are good. The little food court could have some better options, but that’s really the only downfall. The rooms are spacious with enough space to store everything you bring. Nice big bathroom. Everything was clean and in working order. We asked for some extra coffee and body wash, and requested a bath mat, and all was taken care of quickly. Bell services brought our luggage to the room quickly after helping us unload the car. Beds and sofa/sofa bed were all comfortable. The bus transportation works well, never really had any issues. Boats are nice and relaxing, although if in a hurry it’s much quicker to just walk to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Stormalong bay pool is amazing. A few hot tubs, a deep lazy river, nice slide, sandy bottom in areas. Even though it’s crowded you can find a spot with room to yourself. We actually enjoy the quiet pool. There are very few people there and it has its own hot tub. There is a laundry facility there so we do laundry while swimming or just sitting by the pool. We paid a little more for water view this time and loved it. Made sure to be back at the room a little to sit out on the balcony. Requested a view of the boardwalk and we had a view straight ahead center. If you’re comparing it cost wise to other non Disney hotels, it’s not worth it. Just know that going in. But if you compare it in cost to the Disney owned hotels we think it’s the best spot to be for its location, ambiance, and comfort.
