Help Me Choose An Epcot Resort

[tink2007]

My husband and I want to stay at one of the Epcot Resorts next weekend.
I can't decide which I like better, Boardwalk, Yacht Club or Beach Club. We are passholders so I can get a good rate for all three.

Which has had the most recent remodel?
Which has the best pool?
Which has the best views of Epcot?

I have stayed at BC and Boardwalk. I think it's 6 of one, half dozen of another. BC is undergoing a remodel now, and I think Boardwalk has or is in the process as well. I like the pool at BC, but it can get crowded. I loved the quiet pool at Boardwalk, but never made it over to the feature pool. The halls in Boardwalk can get long, but I have walked a long hall at BC too. I think BC lobby is busier, and you may or may not like that. The walk to Epcot is about the same, although the walk to HS is easier from Boardwalk. I thought Boardwalk was a little more "adult" but I loved both. Also, Boardwalk, you will get a full balcony, and at BC, you might not. I have stayed at BC twice in standard rooms, very pleased. I have a second stay booked at Boardwalk. I look for where I can get the better discount, if that helps.

The pool at the BC is probably one of the best on Disney property but does get crowded as it is shared with the BC, BC Villas and the YC.

I'm not sure. I believe that the BC is being remodelled at the moment

Which has the best pool?

BC/YC share the same pool called Stormalong Bay. It is arguably the best pool on property.
BWI has a good pool. Slide is great, but has a creepy clown face that puts some people off.

Which has the best views of Epcot?

Some individual rooms at any of the three can have some partial view of Epcot/ high Illuminations fireworks. No rooms have great views of Epcot, IMO.

The best views are from some of the lagoon view rooms in the YC.

BC remodeled rooms are so pretty. I want my master to look like that!
BWI has the best Epcot views.
BWI has the prettiest quiet pool.l
BC has the best feature pool. Spent lots of time floating in that lazy river!

I stayed at YC last August. YC & BC have the best pool (and there are quiet pools as well), we didn't experience any over crowding.

You are in luck as Disunplugged just did a 7 in 7 in February that includes these three resorts. I suggest you watch the 3 episodes on them:

Beach Club is our 1st Choice, in fact we'll be there end of May beginning of June. Great pool, Beaches & Cream is one of our "Must Do's" & it's a short walk to EPCOT & the Boardwalk.

I would look at what's available for those dates and then decide between your choices of room. You'd probably have a wonderful stay at any one of them, so I'd choose a room that way.

For adults only, we loved Yacht Club. It's so beautiful and has access to the same pool as Beach Club. The boat to Epcot and HS leave from the dock that's right outside the Yacht Club lobby, so it's really convenient. The Captain's Grille is an awesome restaurant any time of day, and the Ale and Compass Lounge has great reviews.

Second choice for me is Boardwalk, it's a really nice hotel and there's plenty of restaurants and places to grab a snack or drink and relax on the Boardwalk. I think the Boardwalk pool is quieter than SAB and has less "commotion" with lots of kids.
