does anyone know which beach club Disney goes to at orient bay? Are planning on doing orient bay by ourselves and don't want to go somewhere that is packed!
Thanks

Don't know where Disney goes, but we've been twice on our own, and it very easy to find a beach club. The first time we went, I was looking for the cheapest price, and I think we paid about $7 or $8 per person, and it included a drink. But, the lounge chairs were very close together. So close, you could have rubbed lotion on the person beside of you. The next time we went, I did a little more "shopping", by walking a few yards up and down the beach, and we stopped at a place where the lounge chairs actually had some space between them. It also had a clean restroom, and a bar, but we didn't use that. I think we paid about $12 or $14 per person. (can't remember exactly) If the taxi van drops you off near the Southern end of the beach (near Club Orient), those beach clubs are cheaper, but the lounge chairs are squeezed tight. If you want more space, and don't mind paying a little extra, walk in the Northern direction up the beach, and pick which one you like. Also, taxi van prices are clearly marked at the port area, and the more riders you have, the cheaper the price.....jonathan

Thanks for the great info! Have you ever been to bikini beach bar or orange fever... Both seem to have great reviews! Trying to decide! Also how far is it from the cruise port?

Neither one of these sound familiar, but I'm not sure which one's we've been too. If you see one you like, check them out first, and find out exactly what's included, before you pay. WiFi may be important to you, or a full service bar, a restaurant, or for me, I just wanted some space, and not be directly beside of another couple, and I wanted a clean restroom. As far as the ride to Orient Beach, I would say it's about a 15 minute ride. (or something like that?)
