We stayed at this hotel with our daughter who is 10 years old. We originally made a reservation at the Coronado Springs Hotel months ago. A few weeks before we left Disney called and said they had a convention at this hotel and it was overbooked. They offered us an upgrade at the Beach Club. I thought this hotel had little value for the money. It is old and in need of renovation. After an argument at the front desk we finally got a room overlooking Epcot. We were originally promised a room with a view and they thought they could get away with giving us a room overlooking the parking lot. You could see the fireworks at night which was fun. The only good part of this hotel is that it is at the back gate of Epcot. The housekeeping was really mediocre. There were crumbs all over the carpet and the side table was filthy and had food crud all over. I will be back to Disney World but I will not stay at this hotel. Even with the extra magic hours I think there are nicer hotels that do not have the Disney name on them that provide quality rooms at a better price.

Stayed here for the fourth time. We chose the week after Thanksgiving and although the parks were busy they were manageable. Took advantage of free dining. Its always great to be greeted by that cinnamon ginger smell when you walk through the doors. Short walk to Epcot, quick boat to HS, and fast buses everywhere else. Our favorite resort on the property since we started staying there. Hope to be back in 2014!

Beach Club Resort at Disneyworld is a great place to stay. The rooms are clean and the staff is very helpful. Just a short walk to Epcot, Disney Boardwalk and Hollywood Studios. Fireworks nightly at Epcot which you can see from outside the hotel. We did not rent a vehicle and used the complete Disney transportation system. We had stayed at Port Oleans Riverside previously and the buses seemed to run more smoothly from Beac Club (every 20 minutes). Also it was nice to have the option to walk to some sites and not have to bus each time.

I would recommend spending a little more and going to the Beach Club Resort. It is just nice to be in a short walking distance to some of what Disney has to offer.

3rd stay. Last one was 6 years ago. Made our reservations 6 months in advance. No luggage tags in the mailed information packet ( we didn't know we needed them as there was nothing in the packet that said so) No bellman (we took our own luggage up to the rooms or could wait 3 hours minimum as requested by the person at the front desk) Reconfirmed rooms 24 hrs. in advance and even at check in. One room was ready the other adjoining was being cleaned. No problem except....it was not a King as requested confirmed 24 hrs. in advance and reconfirmed upon arrival! What? Separate beds for the parents now....Also, 2nd room heat was broken. At night we had to bundle as the airconditioning was constantly blowing in that room. Could not eat any meals in the May Cafe because we did not have reservations. What? No one advised us about that when I made our dinner confirmations at the Magic Kingdom restaurants. Truly dissapointing. Nothing like our past stays. Too much $$$ for aging rooms, poor service and rude desk persons. So sad :(
