Situated on a sparkling 25-acre lake near Disney’s Hollywood Studios and just a leisurely stroll from EPCOT, discover this grand New England-style resort hotel. Disney's Yacht Club Resort shares a host of amenities with it's pastel-toned sister, Disney's Yacht Club Resort. Most noticeable of these is the mini water park Stormalong Bay, featuring a sand bottom pool, water slides, a lazy river and whirlpools - keeping the little ones happy when you're not at the parks. For adults there's plenty to do too, with the Ship Shape health club on site to work off some steam, or enjoy a mouth-watering steak dinner at the sophisticated Yachtsman restaurant. There's plenty of casual options too, along with tennis and volleyball courts to keep all ages entertained. At this hotel you're located right next to the marina where, in addition to renting boats to sail around Crescent Lake, you can board a ferryboat for direct transportation to EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s BoardWalk. It's worth looking at the options to upgrade to a club level room for access to the lounge with refreshments available throughout the day.

First time trip to Disney and Yacht Club did not disappoint! Despite renovations going on it was quiet. The staff are amazing, we had issues with our dining plan which were sorted quickly. Rooms are spacious and have everything you need, food provisions are also excellent! We had breakfast twice at Ale & Compass and multiple snacks and meals from the market place. The smaller pool was really nice and right by the laundry room which was used twice. Loved the close proximity to Epcot, boardwalk and Hollywood studios. It was lovely to come back to the hotel after a long day at the parks, it felt like being on another holiday, so relaxing! Would stay here again!

Second Stay this Year and Even Better this time!

Second stay here this year. Highly recommend Yacht Club Waterview to see either the Quiet Pool and/or peaceful Crescent Lake where you can view the EPCOT fireworks and boats from your balcony. Beautiful, Quiet property. Walking or Boat/Skyliner access to other resorts on lake, EPCOT, and HS. Ale & Compass Lounge nice, but the star of the show…

Second stay here this year. Highly recommend Yacht Club Waterview to see either the Quiet Pool and/or peaceful Crescent Lake where you can view the EPCOT fireworks and boats from your balcony. Beautiful, Quiet property. Walking or Boat/Skyliner access to other resorts on lake, EPCOT, and HS. Ale & Compass Lounge nice, but the star of the show is the breakfast at Ale & Compass! Awesome staff (Heu, Michelle, Slim, etc). Then at lunch also offered over the top wedge salad entree. Perfect stay at this property for 8 days (moved rooms as we actually extended stay so got benefit of both quiet pool view, then awesome Crescent Lake view.) Took private car service from MCO, so very easy trip (family took Mears bus and it was a over 2 hour+ process!) but our drive was about half hour. Yacht is a Hotel Resort vs Motel style so once inside, rooms are off hallways. Looked like top floors where we were already renovated with new hall carpeting etc, but bottom floors still works in progress. Busses to AK, MK, and DS very nice....sometimes we were literally the ONLY people on the bus! A+++++++ Next time will try Regatta Club level.

Fun nautical theme and multiple rooms options.
Apr 6, 2025Shawn FHouston, Texas
Excellent location convenient to Epcot (walking) and Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios (water taxi). Convenient onsite restaurants. Beautiful pool and beach area. Prime choice for family of 4 needing at least 3 sleeping options owing to rooms with 2 beds and pull out couch, accommodating up to 5 people.

This resort used to be spectacular. But now, you’re paying $850/night plus tax for location only. The rooms are clean and nice and location is perfect to access Epcot and Hollywood studios. But, Disney has really gone down hill. A deluxe resort should have decent coffee in the rooms, a couple of bottles of water, actual glasses, robes. Was disappointed to find out that the pool was closed, the entire reason we booked this particular resort, we had thought the front desk manager would care, but turns out he just preferred to let us know it had been posted on the website.
We were disappointed, as we were celebrating our anniversary and made to feel like our expectations didn’t matter to the front desk manager in any way. At least the reception felt bad for us and upgraded our view after we were treated pretty badly by the manager.
Disney has lost its magic-you need to pay for any little thing they do for you.
You are better off booking the swan and dolphin resort(run by Marriott) in the same location. At least there we were upgraded, got bottled waters, and had robes available in our rooms. Specifically swan reserve was beautiful rooms and service.
Disney lost its magic. You only pay for location

Exceptional management and housekeeping

Upon entering our room we were very impressed with how clean and the condition of the furnishings.
The only negative was that we happened to be in the area where there were at least 4 dogs in rooms. The poor dogs barked all day until st least 11:30 pm.

I brought a sound machine so it really helped tune them out! I just felt that it was sad for the long days the pets were left alone.
The market side where food was available was not very good. The selections were more like a cheap diner.
The regular restaurants were fantastic ! Service was excellent and quality was great.
Loved the entire resort
