Magic Your Way Vacation Packages Information on Disney Park Tickets


The grand, turn-of-the-century summer homes of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are recalled in Disney's Yacht Club Resort and Disney's Beach Club Resort, two deluxe-category hotels at Walt Disney World Resort.

Guests can walk or go by tram from the resorts to Epcot, or travel by water taxi to Disney-MGM Studios.
Convenient bus service transports guests throughout Walt Disney World Resort.

The luxury club hotels on the shores of 25-acre Crescent Lake are designed by noted architect Robert A.M.
Stern, best known for his East Coast seaside homes. The resorts take guests back to the 1890s with fancy-cut shingles, French doors and other post-modern embellishments that are the trademark of Stern's work.

The imagery follows through in Stormalong Bay, a 2 1/2-acre water recreation area reminiscent of a Nantucket beach with a life-size shipwreck with water slides, snorkeling in a sandy lagoon and a meandering swimming
area that seemingly flows into the surrounding lake.

There is also a 73,000-square-foot convention center adjacent to the resorts that includes a 36,000-square-
foot ballroom capable of seating up to 2,800 for dinner.

Complementing each other, the three-, four- and five-story club hotels nonetheless have distinctive
architectural styles. Each hotel has its own entrance motif, main lobby, restaurants and retail shops.

New England Echoes in Disney's Yacht Club Resort

Oak floors, antique chandeliers and rich millwork and brass evoke memories of New England summer days in Disney's Yacht Club Resort. Cast members in navy blue blazers greet guests as they check into the silvery-gray clapboard hotel.

The nautical theme carries through in the hotel's restaurants. With porthole windows and a picturesque wall
of moving sailboats, Yacht Club Galley features regional New England foods like chowder, fresh fish and
home-baked breads along with sandwiches, steaks and chicken specialties.

Yachtsman's Steakhouse is inspired by Northeastern eateries with a glassed beef-aging room, open-air kitchen
and hardwood-fired grills for meats and vegetables. The dining area features a spacious rotunda room as well
as a private room with seating for 12.

For hors d'oeuvres and drinks, rustic Crew's Cup Lounge offers beers from around the world in frosted mugs.
The room is designed in reclaimed Southern pine with copper accents, and the walls are lined with art and memorabilia of Ivy League rowing teams.

The 630-room hotel offers luxurious suites, including presidential and vice-presidential suites. Spacious rooms decorated in blues and whites carry through the nautical theme. All have French doors that open onto porches
or balconies.

An expansive croquet lawn at Disney's Yacht Club Resort goes with the relaxed, leisure spirit of the 1870s,
and the resort's marina lighthouse welcomes guests home after a day in the Walt Disney World theme parks.

Stormalong Bay

Guests can splash through three lagoon areas -- including one specifically designed for younger water-lovers,
with a depth of 2 to 3 feet.

A spiral stair on board the life-sized shipwreck ascends to a 150-foot mast, broken and askew to serve as a
flume plummeting toward a rocky outcropping where another 150 feet of spins complete a fast-moving thrill slide.

Each hotel also features a "quiet pool" in alcoves far removed from Stormalong Bay. There also are motorized watercraft at the resort marina.

A tile-lined, 12-person Jacuzzi, reminiscent of the famous old health spas, is the centerpiece of the 4,750-
square-foot Ship Shape Health Club. A steam bath, sauna and massage rooms also are included. A weight
room and aerobics room both have staff trained to assist guests.

The centrally located Beaches & Cream old-fashioned ice cream parlour is the place to head after a swim or
workout, where guests can order burgers and decadent desserts like banana splits, frozen hot cocoa, floats, shakes and malts.

Resort Tips
  • Not-to-be-missed is the fabulous Stormalong Bay, a mini-waterpark in itself. Lockers and a pool bar are located by the pool, so you can take advantage even once you've checked out.
  • Visit Beaches & Cream for one of the best burgers on Disney property, followed of course by a delicious ice cream sundae!
  • Take a garden tour! Take a leisurely stroll through the serene and colourful grounds of Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, and explore beautiful gardens reminiscent of the New England seaside. A member of the horticulture team will escort you on an entertaining and educational walking tour that highlights the diverse landscaping throughout the Resort. Tours available Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:30am and 12:30pm. Visit Yacht Club Guest Services to reserve your place.
  • Make use of the facilities and dining at nearby Resorts - BoardWalk, Swan & Dolphin.
  • Rent a Surrey bike and go for a leisurely ride around Crescent Lake.
  • Travel by boat to Disney-MGM Studios and Epcot can take time as the boat also makes stops at the BoardWalk, and Swan & Dolphin Resorts. If you're in a hurry it may be quicker to walk.
  • You can now walk to Disney-MGM Studios via a special waterside walkway over by the BoardWalk.
  • Take time to explore the Resort's beautiful gardens.
  • The Beach Club end is much closer to Epcot, and the Yacht Club closer to Disney-MGM Studios, the Swan & Dolphin Resorts. Bear this in mind when deciding which to stay at if you intend on walking to either park.
