Disney's Yacht Club Resort

很不錯哦 ………

We’re coming towards the end of an 11 night stay at Yacht club and I wanted to express how much of a lovely stay we have had. This isn’t a heavily themed Disney hotel but has just the right amount of Disney ambiance for children and adults who can get a bit overwhelmed and stimulated by all the activities in the parks. Our room (water view) is immaculate and was serviced daily and all the cast members from the “Mouse keeping” to hotel management have been engaging, thoughtful and helpful. We love the pool and never felt the need to “rope drop.” The location is fantastic, being able to walk to two parks is great and avoids the end of night crowds all battling for transport home. The only negative was we found the yachtsman restaurant to be beyond over priced (this is no criticism to our server who was exceptional.) The food was no better than Miller and Carter chain restaurants in the Uk and certainly did not justify the $390 bill (including tip) at the end of the night. For that price I would expect 7 course tasting menu with wine for each course. The only Disney magic here was the ability to extract cash from my wallet. I don’t want to end on a negative note as we have had such a lovely stay, we will likely book this hotel again on a return trip.

Before I begin, I have always given this hotel a 5 star review. This time around, sadly, the stay was lacking and here are the reasons why: - we were so happy that the pool had completed its refurbishment prior to our arrival, which let’s face it, is a big draw for this particular resort. However, only about half of their shade umbrellas were set up for use. That meant that shade was at a premium cost and required someone in our group to enter the line for pool entrance (10:00 AM) by 8:30! And even that did not guarantee a shady spot. Also, they had about 45 flotation tubes before refurbishment began that needed to be replaced. They were still waiting for the new ones to arrive during part of our stay, so for 3-4 days there were approximately only 15 available. We ended up buying our own at local grocery store. The water in the pool was very, very warm and we often got out and stood under the shower that stood next to a jacuzzi to cool off. The sweltering heat wave during our stay is just an occurrence of nature and had nothing to do with Disney, but not providing shade was something Disney should have addressed. - Ale and Compass : their menu has changed and not in a good way. The buffet “enhancement “ use to be offered as a stand alone menu item. It was perfect for someone wanting more of a continental breakfast. That is no longer the case. It can only be added to an entree. I wanted to order just a side of toast. Toast is no longer available!! The servers all rolled their eyes at this ridiculous decision. They offered me an English muffin which I returned because they could not toast it, again because they don’t offer toast. They “grilled” it but only on one side so it was floppy and raw on the other side. Ended up having breakfast at Boardwalk restaurant that was more in line with typical breakfast menu. HVAC: for two nights AC was shut off between midnight and 4:00 AM for maintenance. They provided us with a fan which we utilized because it got quite sticky while under the sheets during these 4 hours. I can’t come up with a solution to how this should have been handled and I understand that the maintenance was necessary. I guess it would come down to whether the down time should have been during day when people are at pool or parks versus nighttime when we all need a good night’s sleep to face another day. You can decide that for yourselves.

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.

This was our first time staying at the Yacht club and would definitely stay again! The hotel is beautiful, well decorated and so quiet! We had the Turret suite, which has just been redecorated and loved every inch of it! Having access to the club was so worth it! The staff is amazing and we are actually returning in March of 2026! I highly recommend the Yacht club and the convenience of just strolling over to Epcot was amazing!

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.
