Disney's Yacht Club Resort - Resort hotel in Lake Buena Vista - 1700 Epcot Resorts Blvd, USA

This was my first time staying here, and I was in love with the room's and resorts location. I booked a resort view room and got a great view of the lake. I loved the updated decor in the room. However, it looked like they skipped the bathroom full update and did some minor updates. One major con of the rooms is the lack of soundproofing. I could hear people on the boardwalk, the boats, people -kids in the hallway at 1am, and the people next door very clearly. You also know when all 3 parks are doing their fireworks, Hollywood Studio was the loudest , then Epcot and even MK. The pictures i got were of MK fireworks. The beds were very comfortable, and the rooms were cleaned daily.

Disney Yacht Club continues to be a marvelous resort with rooms refreshed every couple of years. Rooms are modern with wood-like laminate flooring (much preferred to sister Beach Club which has carpet). Yacht is in my mind the best of the Epcot resorts with a great little store and food location and a more chill atmosphere than sister Beach Club- while sharing the great pool etc. And of course it's a 5 minute walk into EPCOT! one other amazing item - i left my coat in the room when checking out. Filed a lost and found report on the Disney online system - and several days later I received it in the mail (shipped free of charge!)! Thank you for the great Disney service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Had the pleasure of staying at the Yacht club for 6 nights with family. Cant praise it enough. Ok its very expensive but it was a lovely hotel, had great staff and the pool was amazing. They kindly upgraded us for free so we had amazing views across the lake to the Boardwalk and made sure our two rooms were next to each other for ease. The little cafe/shop was well stocked and open long hours. I recommend getting the refillable drinks cup for your stay, more than paid for itself with coffee and soft drinks. If I had one quibble it was that it wasnt very Disney. Aside from the cute disney voces in the lifts it didnt really give any feel of staying in Disneyworld. The pool area was amazing wit a lazy river, though getting a tube proved a challenge! and a great water slide. Beaches and Cream is on site and well worth a visit just for desert! a truly beautiful hotel in a great location for Epcot and Hollywood Studios with the bonus of the Boardwalk across the lake.

The property is great for families—great pool and location. We had a room that was showing signs of age and damage. Paying $400+ a night, I was expecting better. We were also given a room with a shared door between rooms. The first couple of nights, nobody was in the adjacent room. Things were quiet. The remainder of the stay we had someone occupy the room and we could hear everything that was happening. It ruined the last portion of our stay. I've attached photos of a couple of the obvious issues with the condition of the room. We would stay at this property again.

I'm a fan of the location of the Yacht Club because of the proximity to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios and the transportation options. Because it is co-located with the Beach Club, its guests have additional options for dining and shopping that are just a few yards away, including the Beach Club's Beaches and Cream Soda Shop and Cape May Cafe, which features character dining. On this trip we ate at the Yachtsman Steakhouse, which is consistently excellent, as well as the Ale and Compass Restaurant for the first time. It was a long walk from the elevator to our room, but it was a nicer room and a nicer view than the tired Beach Club room we had last year. The decor and set-up were fine, everything worked properly, and we liked the rolling table which we were able to use for in room dining/snacks. The double sinks and a magnifying make-up mirror were very helpful. Housekeeping was great and left plenty of fresh towels and toiletries daily; one day they created a water slide for our granddaughters' stuffed animals using a blue poncho we had left in the room and some swim goggles one of the girls had left in the room. Very creative!

For being touted as an upscale resort at Disney World, I had expected more. I felt the resort was lacking an upscale feel and seemed a little outdated. The best thing was the staff that were very attentive and welcoming. It was also nice that it was in close proximity to the boats and skyline, even though the skyliner was down for maintenance when we stayed. The rooms were cleaned but also showed some signs of being outdated. I expected more for the cost.

Our first room smelled like urine. They were able to find us another room but not one for our adjoining party, which was better than nothing. Unfortunately the new room set off my allergies throughout our entire stay. I think there's some serious housekeeping issues here. Seems like people's pets are making a mess and they're not adequately cleaning between guests. Overall this resort is definitely showing its age.

Yacht club is peaceful , well maintained, nautical themed, and very close to the experience you’d have at a country club. ||Location: absolutely amazing. Walkable to Epcot and the international gateway (which gives you access to the skylines, which lets you get to other resorts, including Hollywood studios). It’s right next to beach club (which has a few more amenities and more busses ). Also next to water taxi which gets you to Hollywood and Boardwalk. ||Amenities: their in house restaurant is awesome. But not a ton for kids. ||Overall it’s great esp if you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing place.
