Disney's Beach Club Resort
Disney's Beach Club Resort has the relaxed elegance of a New England seaside resort. The pastel-coloured hotel sits on Crescent Lake and shares many facilities with its sister hotel, Disney's Yacht Club Resort.
Location and transport
The hotel is in the EPCOT Resort Area, within walking distance of the International Gateway of EPCOT. You can take the boat to Disney's Hollywood Studios, and a free bus runs to the other parks.
Rooms and suites
You can choose from rooms with resort or water views, for up to five people. The more spacious Deluxe Room sleeps six. With Club Level you get access to the Stone Harbor Club. The villas of Disney's Beach Club Villas are right next door.
Early Theme Park Entry
Get into all four theme parks half an hour early on every day of your stay, including your arrival and departure days.
Extended Evening Hours
On selected evenings, one theme park stays open later for guests of the Deluxe hotels and Deluxe Villas.
Buy Lightning Lane earlier
Hotel guests can buy Lightning Lane passes 7 days before their stay, for their entire stay. Everyone else can only do so 3 days in advance.
Food and drink
At Cape May Cafe you can enjoy a breakfast buffet, with fish and meat in the evening. Beaches & Cream Soda Shop is a fifties-style ice cream parlour. The Yacht Club restaurants, such as Yachtsman Steakhouse and Ale & Compass, are also within walking distance.
Pools and practical information
Between Beach Club and Yacht Club lies Stormalong Bay: over a hectare with a sandy bottom, a lazy river, a life-size shipwreck and one of the tallest hotel waterslides at Walt Disney World. You can rent cabanas and play mini golf at Fantasia Gardens and Fairways.
Address: 1800 Epcot Resorts Boulevard, Lake Buena Vista. According to Disney, construction or renovation is currently taking place at the hotel, so bear in mind there may be works going on.
