Disney's Yacht Club Resort

Favorite hotel

Excellent location convenient to Epcot (walking) and Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios (water taxi). Convenient onsite restaurants. Beautiful pool and beach area. Prime choice for family of 4 needing at least 3 sleeping options owing to rooms with 2 beds and pull out couch, accommodating up to 5 people.

We’ve stayed at a lot of Disney deluxe properties but the Yacht Club is our favorite. It’s a short walk to EPCOT and a direct boat ride to Hollywood Studios. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We had a water view room which gave us a terrific view of the EPCOT fireworks. It’s also a short car ride to the other parks and Disney Springs.

I have always loved this hotel. It has a sophisticated atmosphere, but is still kid friendly. The quick service and table service restaurants are excellent. The pool is absolutely amazing. We often stay club level, and the club level staff are incredibly proactive and friendly the club level food is a lot of comfort foods which my kids love. They have a great variety in the lounge is really nice. it’s very close to Epcot and a quick boat ride to Hollywood Studios. The design in the rooms is beautiful lots of storage space.

Have stayed all levels Value, Mod, Delx. (Edited Review) Pros of Deluxe: 1. Yacht is great location for Epcot (via walking or boat) and HS (via boat). Buses not busy (only AK, DS, MK) since most guests going to other parks. With Early Entry this was GREAT and allowed us early entry where we rode Mill Falcon, Toy Story 3x in a row, etc with no more than 10 minute wait for all those rides and then also Remy with no wait since back entry before front entry guests could get there. 2. YC is a hotel not a motel, so once inside, rooms accessed via interior halls. 3. Front of House staff very nice and helpful 4. Had "end of hall room" which meant no guest on one side so VERY quiet. 5. Bath room larger than Moderate, and enough cubbies with doors to "put away" all items and luggage for a clean room. Cons: 1. Had a balcony but it was unusable as it looked out at "swampy" area with mosquitos. 2. MAIN reason we booked Deluxe was for a couch, but got a chair instead? Travel agent said "not guaranteed" and reserved for parties of 4 or 5 (so couples don't matter?) 3. Food choices were awful for us. We don't eat beef nor chicken and eat breakfast and then one afternoon meal only. This is a place for steak eaters and those who eat late (many lounges or restaurants do not open until 5 or require reservations or mainly serve meat dishes). Even the Marketplace sandwiches were "pre-made" so no substitutions. We literally ate a child's grill cheese in room, steak fries (not on menu but requested) and a wedge salad at a lounge, and then PB crackers we brought from home). We could have walked back to Epcot, but due to the extreme heat and humidity by the time we got back to room, just couldn't fathom that so maybe during different time of year that would be a difference. No idea what family's with kids would eat here--as even the Ice Cream Shoppe required a reservation.

We had just checked into our room, the young girl that helped us was on her first day of training as a college participant . She was very sweet, patient, and even curious talking to my husband and I. He was a navy vet and we’ve never had an employee anywhere show appreciation like she did to us tonight
