Disney's Yacht Club Resort

Great location! But amenity wise could just be a Hampton inn.

The Disney Yacht Club is a stunning property, but what makes it truly next-level is the service — especially from Elena at concierge. I travel here multiple times a year, often blending work with a little bit of Disney fun, and Elena always makes both sides of the trip effortless. From handling logistics for workdays to adding thoughtful touches that make downtime magical, she brings a level of care and consistency that keeps me coming back. If you’re a business traveler who also wants a little Disney joy in the mix, this is your spot — and Elena is your go-to for making it all happen seamlessly.

We have stayed at all of the Epcot resorts (Boardwalk, Yacht Club, and Beach Club) a couple times each. Pros: The major draw of Yacht Club is its location. You can easily walk to Epcot from the resort. You can also walk to Hollywood Studios (20-25 minutes). Alternately, you can take the Skyliner or a boat over to HS. If you're already at Epcot, you can also take the Monorail to the TTC and switch to the Magic Kingdom monorail to visit MK. Yacht Club and Beach Club share a large sand bottomed pool which is restricted to YC and BC guests. It's a nice pool, but it was getting refurbished while we were staying at the resort. Cons: The quick service food options are very limited. If you want a quick service meal, you might want to consider walking over to Epcot. We also had an annoying experience with bell services. When we arrived, our resort room wasn't ready (which wasn't a surprise). Bell services put our luggage on a cart for storage and we walked into the resort lobby. About 5 minutes later, we received the text that the room was ready. Great! I went back outside and observed that the cart with our luggage was still at the curb. I told a bell services CM that our room was ready, our luggage was right there, and we would just take it ourselves. He told me that we could not take our luggage and I'd have to go inside and tell the CM at the bell services counter that we wanted it sent up to the room. I could understand this if the luggage had been placed into their storage area, but it was 5 minutes later and hadn't even left the curb. We went inside, told the bell services counter that our room was ready, and we wanted it delivered now because we planned to walk over to Epcot. We waited in our room 45 minutes and the luggage still hadn't shown up. One of our party went back to bell services and the CM said they didn't know when we wanted it delivered. That experience was not a good start to our vacation. If you decide to stay at an Epcot resort, be prepared for bell services CMs to hold your luggage hostage for tips. All of the other CMs at the resort were great. We spoke to many of them from various other departments.
