Rooms   Dining   Recreation   Shopping Transportation   Childcare    Resort Map pdf file    VIP Tips   Photos

Disney’s Beach Club Resort combines New England-inspired charm with a convenient location near EPCOT. Situated along Crescent Lake, this Disney Deluxe Resort offers inviting accommodations, several dining options, and access to the popular Stormalong Bay pool complex.

In addition, guests can walk to EPCOT and explore nearby Disney’s BoardWalk. Meanwhile, boat transportation provides another way to reach Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Consequently, Beach Club is worth considering if you want to combine park visits with time enjoying your resort.

As a Disney Resort hotel guest, you also receive Early Theme Park Entry, allowing access to select attractions 30 minutes before regular opening at all four Walt Disney World theme parks each day of your stay. Valid park admission is required, and park reservations may also be necessary depending on your ticket type.

Additionally, Beach Club guests qualify for Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on select nights at select parks. Check Disney’s calendar before planning your evenings, since participating parks and dates vary. Valid admission and applicable reservation requirements apply.

The 230-foot slide adds excitement, while whirlpool spas and an elevated tanning deck offer places to relax. Additionally, younger children can enjoy the Shipwreck Pool’s smaller slide.

Request a room with a full balcony or a patio. Most rooms at the Beach Club only have small Juliet balconies.

Enjoy the close proximity to EPCOT’s World Showcase. While there is a boat launch available to EPCOT, you can get there faster by walking.

Water Activites: You can rent a variety of watercraft at the Lakeside Marina. There are also bass fishing excursions available at the Marina.

You can access Disney’s Hollywood Studios by boat. You may also enjoy a brisk walk around the BoardWalk down to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

These resorts offer one of the best pools on Walt Disney World property. The Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, while separate, share the pool area. There is a “shipwreck” that offers the entry point to the main water slide. Some areas of the pool have a sandy bottom.

These resort hotels are located near the BoardWalk, offering a short walk to additional restaurants and nightlife that do not require park admission.
