Disney's Yacht Club Resort

Walt Disney World, Orlando

Virgin rating

The hotel

Situated on a sparkling 25-acre lake near Disney’s Hollywood Studios and just a leisurely stroll from EPCOT, discover this grand New England-style resort hotel. Disney's Yacht Club Resort shares a host of amenities with it's pastel-toned sister, Disney's Yacht Club Resort. Most noticeable of these is the mini water park Stormalong Bay, featuring a sand bottom pool, water slides, a lazy river and whirlpools - keeping the little ones happy when you're not at the parks. For adults there's plenty to do too, with the Ship Shape health club on site to work off some steam, or enjoy a mouth-watering steak dinner at the sophisticated Yachtsman restaurant. There's plenty of casual options too, along with tennis and volleyball courts to keep all ages entertained. At this hotel you're located right next to the marina where, in addition to renting boats to sail around Crescent Lake, you can board a ferryboat for direct transportation to EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s BoardWalk. It's worth looking at the options to upgrade to a club level room for access to the lounge with refreshments available throughout the day.

Beautiful hotel, bedrooms are really good size with lots of hanging space and drawers. Short walk to Epcot so really well placed! Great shop for quick service breakfast, great bar for a quick drink or two and Light bites! Couldn’t fault it, would definitely stay again.

Very comfortable and cozy lobby. The ocean and yacht theme is beautiful. The lobby was decorated with a boat themed Christmas tree, a little village with a train going around it, and a lighthouse made of gingerbread.

I am a bit torn about this place. We have stayed at the Grand Floridian, the Four Seasons Orlando and the Polynesian. Since our kids are older, we wanted to stay closer to Epcot this time. The Good: It is so close to Epcot and very easy access to Hollywood Studios. Can definately take a break and go back The pool are is nice, sometimes very crowded. The slide was a hit The crafts they offer at an extra cost are really nice quality The feeling by the pool and beach walk is very vaction - vibe Staff at club level were great Nice views of fireworks from the beach and some rooms The not so good: Crowded in some areas The restaurants were not very good except for the Yachtman Service - our daugter got sick and we needed help with a change of bedding at night. The club level desk was closed and my husband went downstairs. And then called.. finally someone showed up with one sheet (!). Then they had to get more bedding. The process took 1.5 hours in the middle of the night The rooms are dated Club level food offerings were not very impressive Read less

This is the first deluxe hotel I have stayed in on Walt Disney World property. Let’s just say it’s going to be very hard to go back to moderate or value hotels.

This is the first deluxe hotel I have stayed in on Walt Disney World property. Let’s just say it’s going to be very hard to go back to moderate or value hotels. My husband and I had the most amazing getaway over Labor Day weekend. We love Epcot and the fact that you can walk there from here is a huge plus. This wasn’t a typical Disney visit for us, we knew we wanted to have pool time and access to lots of restaurants so this place was perfect. The pool cannot be beat. We spent a lot of time in the lazy River. I also loved looking out of the balcony of our room since we had a pew of the pool and boardwalk. The rooms were immaculate. Everything was super clean and fresh. The Disney Cast Members really went above and beyond for us and truly made us feel special. Cannot wait to come back someday! Read less
