Disney's Yacht Club Resort

Overview

Disney's Yacht Club Resort brings back memories of the grand summer houses and yacht clubs on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island in the late 19th-century, complete with lighthouse. Inside, the Yacht Club is more elegant than its sister resort, the Beach Club Resort, with beautiful hardwood floors and nautical decorations like antique world globes.

The Yacht Club Resort sits on the shores of Crescent Lake and is adjacent to Disney's Vacation Club Beach Club Villas and Disney's Beach Club Resort with which it shares some of its facilities including the mini water park, Stormalong Bay.

It is about a 10 minute walk (less than a mile) from the International Gateway entrance to Disney's Epcot theme park and about a 30 minute walk from Disney-MGM Studios.

If you don't fancy walking then both parks can be reached by boat.

Across the Crescent Lake from the Yacht Club Resort is Disney's Boardwalk Inn Resort. The Walt Disney World Dolphin and Walt Disney World Swan are also close by which gives you access to plenty of additional entertainment and restaurants.

Rooms/Suites

The accommodation in the Yacht Club Resort is in a series of 4 and 5-storey buildings, decorated in New England gray and white clapperboard. All rooms have either private balconies or if at ground level may have patios.

Like the Beach Club resort, all rooms have a nautical theme with striped curtains, ships wheel headboards, white wooden furniture and yacht scene bedspreads and wallpapers.

Standard rooms will sleep 4 to 5 (plus a baby in a crib) on two queen beds and a day bed (some rooms are available with a king sized bed instead at no extra charge). French doors lead to a private balcony or patio.
