A Review of the Beach Club Resort At Disney World
Disney Beach Club Resort Tip:

While you can walk to Epcot from this resort, remember that you'll be entering through the International Gateway (back door) into the World Showcase.

The World Showcase usually opens 2 hours later than Epcot's Future World.

So if you want to be at the park at the earliest possible time, take the boat to Hollywood studios, then a bus to Epcot, which will take you to the front of the park (Future World).

The Disney World Beach Club resort is a throwback to a 19th-century, New England-inspired lakeside resort. It sits right next to Disney's Yacht club resort and is a short walking distance to Epcot, the Boardwalk, and the Swan and Dolphin hotels.


With it's bright, seaside themed decor, the Beach club seems a little more relaxed than the Yacht club, which has a nautical, more upscale New England theme.


The 2 resorts share an incredible three-acre lakeside water park Stormalong Bay, with an outdoor pool, water slides, spa tubs, two quiet pools, and white-sand beach


Is the Beach Club resort the right place for you? Here's a quick review to help you decide.


Theme: Eastern Seaside resort circa early 20th century



Room Notes:  Rooms are an average size for a Disney deluxe resort with white-wicker furniture, soft green, blue and salmon tones, and step-out balconies.

Some rooms have recently been refurbished with new paint and carpet. You can also request to have a lakeside view which, for most people, is well worth the extra.



Dining Options:  Your dining options at the Beach club are excellent.

In addition to several restaurants at the Beach club and Yacht club you are also within a short walk to the restaurants on the Boardwalk, Epcot, Swan and Dolphin Resorts.

The restaurants available at the Beach club and Yacht club are:

Cape May Cafe (Full Service Buffet Dinner with Character Breakfast)
Hurricane Hanna's Grill (Quick Service)
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop (Quick Service)
Yachtsman Steakhouse (Full Service Signature)
Captain's Grille (Full Service)





















Transportation: One of the main reasons to choose the Disney Beach Club Resort is because of it's location.

It's just a short walk to Epcot or the Boardwalk and about 15-20 minute walk to Hollywood Studios.  Here are your transporation options:

- Walk to Epcot (International Gateway), Boardwalk, Boardwalk Inn, Yacht Club or Hollywood Studios

- Water Taxi to Boardwalk Inn, Hollywood Studios Epcot

- Buses to Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Downtown Disney, Water parks and Disney Resorts.



Recreation: The main attraction here is the water complex shared with the Yacht club resort.

Stormalong Bay consists of a zero-depth entry, sand bottom pool, water slide, waterfalls spa tubs and white sand beaches. All your recreation options include:

- 2 pools
- 4 Whirlpool spas
- Tennis
- Marina/boat rental
- Arcade
- Fishing
- Beach Volleyball
- Running/Jogging trail
- Fitness club
- Nightly Bedtime Stories

Plus the Beach club also offers a full service spa (treatments are extra)



Strengths:

- One of the best pool complexes at Disney World
- Excellent location: walking distance to Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Boardwalk, Boardwalk Inn, Swan and Dolphin Resorts
- Because of it's central location you have access to tons of restaurants including Boardwalk and Epcot restaurants
- Nightly Bedtime Stories that kids will love (Channel 14)



Weaknesses:

- Some rooms are becoming a bit dated and worn
- Some people may prefer the more upscale feel of the Yacht club
- Buses to the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom can be very full since they service the Yacht club, Beach club, Boardwalk Inn, Swan, and Dolphin Hotels
Resort Tip:

This is a great resort if you plan on hitting Epcot, Hollywood Studios and the Boardwalk.

However, if you plan on spending most of your time at the Magic Kingdom, you might want to try a resort closer to that park like the Contemporary, Polynesian or Grand Floridian.
