Overall, we give this Disney Deluxe Tier Resort an “A+.”
Would love to be able to stay here on one of our visits. On the last trip, we took a day from the parks and toured some of the resorts. The Beach Club or the Yacht Club both have a wonderfully relaxing feel to them, not to mention the short distance to EPCOT & Hollywood Studios.
This is my favorite resort! I love the location…so close to Epcot, you can walk! Getting to Hollywood Studios is just a boat ride away. The pool area is wonderful! Beaches and Cream is not to be missed. I could go on and on…
First stay here last month, will definitely stay again. Pool is awesome, walking to Epcot is a great advantage and buses and boats were plentiful!
Love the Beach Club!! The proximity to Epcot is wonderful-it’s the perfect resort for the Food and Wine Festival.
We’ve been to the Beach Club many times and once to the villas. LOVE IT! We have spent countless hours at Stormalong Bay, even after spending the day at Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon.
Love the resort! The pool area was AWESOME!
