Resort Thread Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB Resorts

[Ricguz]

I have just finished a three-night Club level stay at the Yacht Club. It was a taste test. The family has been Magic Kingdom area stayers since the 1970s. But after a couple trying and tiring years, I am in the midst of a solo trip. In planning it, I thought, well, what the heck. Oh, my! Okay, I’m sold on the YC! They gave me a room with the Lighthouse view. It was quiet, well appointed and comfy even though you may need a ladder to reach the top of the bed! I thoroughly enjoyed the offerings of the Regatta Club. But, it was the kindness of the cast members that really stood out. They made everything so easy and happy. The YC really was a calm oasis in a pre-Christmas squall of craziness. I think even that short stay rescued me from a funk of exhaustion! Being able to walk to Epcot wasn’t bad, either!

Glad to hear you had a wonderful stay. It’s my favorite resort and definitely the CM’s starting with Hyacinth to the rest of the staff certainly make it special. Any different offerings that stood out? I heard that mid day offerings included mini wraps sandwiches. My next stay is December 2026 and I’m looking forward to that.

Yes, they had a variety of mini wraps, including baby Reubens, and baby chicken salad. I was taken with some of the details in the offerings. During breakfast, at the Greek yogurt station, a luscious local orange blossom honey was available. It may seem a minor thing but it elevated the whole and I am trying, and failing, to find it elsewhere. I hope your next stay is tasty and wonderful!

Just back from my first stay at Beach Club - was just a 3-night trip to attend Jollywood, MVMCP and Festival of Holidays at Epcot. We didn't take the time to enjoy most of the resort amenities, instead choosing this resort for proximity to Epcot.

My only room request was room ready before 3pm (we arrived at MCO around 10am). I got a notification that our room was ready before we were out of the airport, but the bigger surprise was location. I couldn't have requested a better spot for our purposes...room 3521. We had a full balcony, view of the quiet pool but the big thing was being at the very end of the building that is closest to the International Gateway. I don't think it was more than 200 steps to the gate.

Can't wait to go again in the future!

Branded slippers now available in the rooms? All rooms? Saw this post from Disney Tourist Blog. In the comments looks like both regular and club-level rooms (at least at Beach Club) but that seems almost overly generous for Disney, LOL. I'd guess almost certainly not in DVC rooms. I wonder if only for certain guests? Has anyone seen? Per the article, available in Grand Floridian as well, but that sounds like club-level only.

I have had those branded slippers at the YC CL.

As of Saturday they weren't in the non-club rooms at the YC (or at least not in ours). They had these, or something similar, back in 2023 in CL at the BC. I know this is a small thing, but I loved the resort specific slippers from CL! ETA - yes they had the RPC ones at the GF last week. Those obviously came home with us

I generally like Bricker and his blog posts, but good golly that was a lot of words on a very simple topic.

We're staying at Beach Club. Should we walk to Yacht Club in the morning for the Magic Kingdom bus since Beach Club is the second stop?

No, the resorts have separate buses before 10 am.

I wouldn't. When we stayed at BC in August (there were 10 of us) we never had an issue getting seats on any of the busses. I would think it's even less crowded there now.

 

[Simba's Mom]

I agree! In all the times (more than 10) of staying at the Beach Club, I've only been denied boarding once-and that was to the AK and it was because I had an ECV and both spots were taken.

 

[focusondisney]

I would think it's even less crowded there now.

You think Christmas week is less crowded than August? I don’t.

 

[The Mayor]

You think Christmas week is less crowded than August? I don’t.

Actually she didn’t specify when she was staying. If it is Christmas week we’ve also stayed there then and had no problems with seating on the morning bus.

Is there any update on whether they're bringing back the all adult hot tub, at Stormalong Bay? We were there in October and were disappointed it hadn't returned. Kids were jumping and diving into it the whole time, with no supervision. So annoying.

 

[Miked0292]

So im coming home after a 6 year absence from stay at Beach Club I was able to switch my March reservation to Beach Club Club Level. December of 2019 was the last time we stayed and now im just 67 more days away from checking back in. Im tempted, very tempted to make this trip one more night longer making it a 5 night stay instead of 4 nights.

I'm here now and nope it's not back. I am annoyed by the same thing. Have been kicked too many times by unsupervised kids each time I used it. Also noticed the hot tubs being closed for extended periods of time during the day.

Thank you and a huge bummer! I wonder why they haven't brought it back. I asked several times, to staff members as they walked by, they said they would ask a manager but they never got back to me. I really want that back.

I'm about to head to Stormalong Bay in about a half an hour so I can ask if you'd like me to. I predict I'll get a similar answer though. I do agree that I would like it back too. Would also like the water to be a bit hotter. Some of the hot tubs are oddly cool?
