Disney’s Beach Club Resort and Beach Club Villas

Disney's Beach Club is a deluxe resort in the Epcot resort area at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. This resort has both standard rooms and Disney Vacation Club (DVC) villas. The theme takes you back to the classic Eastern Seaboard resorts of the 1920's & 1930's and is an elegantly casual hotel set on the shore of Crescent Lake with a wonderful view of the Boardwalk Resort. The hotel is within easy walking distance of Epcot and a convenient Skyliner or boat ride to Disney's Hollywood Studios park. The highlight of this resort is the 3-acre Storm-along Bay Pool which has artificial sand that's designed to fall to the bottom of the pool so the water stays clear....leave it to Disney to take care of details like that! Storm-along Bay has a pirate ship shaped water slide, a "lazy river" type channel, whirlpools, and zero entry beach area. You will definitely want to plan plenty of resort time here.

Disney’s Beach Club Pro & Con

Advantages - Proximity to Disney's Epcot theme park, Skyliner transportation, entertainment and restaurants at the four other Epcot resort area hotels, poolside movies, an on-site Disney character breakfast, and a peaceful setting well suited for relaxation are just some of the many benefits of this hotel. Disney Deluxe hotels have queen beds, mini-refrigerators, and microwaves. This is a great resort for anyone who will spend time at the resort - rather than spending all of your time in the theme parks. There seems to be advantages for every age group here - families with young children love the pool's beach area and the convenience of shopping and dining options in this multi-resort area. Kids of all ages LOVE the expansive pool and recreation options here. Adult guests love the variety of dining options available in Epcot and in the 6-resort area, and older guests enjoy the balance of theme park accessibility and relaxation options.

Disadvantages - Bus & boat transportation is sometimes shared with the Yacht Club Resort and Boardwalk Resort. The additional stops mean that the transportation takes extra time. The deluxe resorts are expensive and may not be the best value if you'll be spending most of your time in the theme parks.

Our Opinion - Disney's Beach Club is probably our favorite deluxe hotel at the Walt Disney World Resort even if it isn't near the Magic Kingdom or the monorail. The setting is pretty, the pool is amazing and it is right next to the Skyliner station. You really can skip the theme parks and still have a great vacation while staying at the Beach Club. Beaches & Cream is a fun little restaurant and the proximity to all the Epcot resort area hotels, restaurants, and activities as well as everything connected to the Skyliner makes this resort an ideal choice. You're right next to Epcot which means anyone with a Magic Your Way Park Hopper ticket has access to an incredible number of activities, entertainment and restaurants. If this resort is out of your budget for your whole vacation, consider staying here for a night or two at the beginning or end of your trip - it'll be the most restful part of your vacation. We like the Beach Club better than the Yacht Club - which shares the Stormalong Bay pool - just because it is a little more relaxed and a little less dignified. Bus transportation was the weak spot at this resort but Disney is responding to Guest comments and this has recently improved somewhat.

Disney's Beach Club Transportation

By land: With the Epcot theme park and the entire Epcot Resort Area just a pleasant stroll away, spontaneous adventures are easy, and the pathway to Disney’s Hollywood Studios promises a delightful journey. Ready to explore further? Buses are your ticket to Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Magic Kingdom, the bustling boulevards of Disney Springs and the thrilling waves of Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

By sea: Make waves and memories as the water launches and friendship boats smoothly sail you to both Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. Even though many of the Epcot resort area gems are just a quick walk away, why not take to the waters? It's all about the journey and the destinations!

By air: A few steps away, the Epcot Skyliner station beckons, opening doors to several resorts and another scenic route to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, although you will have to transfer at the main hub at the Caribbean Beach Resort.

Complimentary transportation to the Disney World golf courses is arranged through the resort concierge desk. Guests must have a tee time reservation with confirmation number and transportation should be arranged the day prior to your tee time.

TIP: Use the Bus for the Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom theme parks. Epcot can be reached by simply walking to Epcot’s International Gateway, which is approximately the same distance from your room as the bus stop. Hollywood Studios is a fun ride away using the Skyliner, although during peak crowds there can be waits at the main station at Caribbean Beach to connect, so the boat or walking trail may be best.

With Disney's Beach Club as your haven, every journey, whether by foot, bus, boat, or sky, promises to be an unforgettable adventure!
