Beach Club & Yacht Club Resorts

Sitting on the shores of Crescent Lake, Disney's Yacht Club Resort leans into its New England nautical theme with a polished lobby, lakeside setting and direct walking access to EPCOT. A boat service also connects you to Disney's Hollywood Studios, and the Disney Skyliner gondola adds another handy park-hopping option. The resort shares its grounds — and many of its facilities — with the adjacent Beach Club Resort, giving guests at both properties access to the same impressive amenity pool. That centrepiece is Stormalong Bay, a 3-acre water area built around a life-size shipwreck, complete with a tall waterslide, lazy river, whirlpool spas and dedicated kids' pools. Dining highlights include the Yachtsman Steakhouse, and the resort welcomes dogs too. It's a strong fit for families who want a calmer, more classic resort atmosphere without sacrificing proximity to the parks.
