Boardwalk? Beach/yacht Club???

[catjammies]

Need people who are real familiar with these......What is the difference betw. these 3 resorts????

How can we decide which is the best????

We have 2 girls, ages 7 & 9, who like to swim, but us adults like a nice, pretty, sunny hotel in general. We plan to see Epcot & were wondering the best of these to stay in -----

Also - what would be the most fun things at Epcot for our girls?

I would suggest Beach Club! It has a very pretty, light colored "beachy" decor. And, if your kids like to swim they will love storm-a-long bay! Also, it is a very quick walk from BC into Epcot and just a boat ride away from MGM. The Yacht club is done in dark wood tones, and I think it has a more "formal" feel. But, it also has access to SAB! I have never stayed at BWI!

Beach and Yacht Club are next to each other. They both have access to Storrm-along-Bay. Beach entry pool with Sand, great water slide. Largest of all resort pool areas. The Boardwalk is like a New England Boardwalk with games in the Evening Hours. Both have great atmospere. The Boardwalk pool is themed like a old fashioned wood Roller Coaster. It is the largest of all resort water slides. You can't go wrong with either. They usually run the same cost too. The Beach Club has the famous "Beaches and Cream" old fashioned ice cream shop. Not to be missed. Both are just outside the International Gateway in Epcot. Short walk to the park. Beach/Yacht Club are a little closer. We had a upper room at Boradwalk and could see the top of Morraco from our Balcony and Illuminations fireworks at night too. Really WDW has too many choices... Thats why we all go back year, after, year after year....

If you like pretty sunny hotels and your children enjoy the pool I would also recommend the Beach Club. Like other posters have said SAB is excellent, the best pool on Disney propety. The Beach Club hotel is beautifuly decorated in pastel colours and its beach theme. As for things for your children to do in Epcot there are many things for children to look at in each of the country pavilions. They used to be able to make a mask (I think) at each different country or there was something for children to collect. I'm not sure if they still do this or not though (I don't have kids so have never looked into this but saw many children doing this last year.)

We're DVC members at both places and love both places equally. But, the pool at the BC wins hands down. The kids will love it. You'll love it too!
