We had been in that room on another stay and you are right on top of the lounge workers, who start at 6 am... I did reach out to yacht club about changing rooms, but because we were staying for 10 nights they could only put us on 4th floor with club access... Looking back, we should have taken the 4th room floor...

    ...We had a ground level garden view room with a king bed, room 1054. We checked in early, around 11am, the room wasn’t ready yet, but was ready a couple of hours later... The room was conveniently located near one of the quiet pools with a hot tub, and it was open until midnight, which was nice... This hotel is a great option for a few reasons: you get into the parks a half hour earlier than the general public, there are multiple transportation options for both Epcot and Hollywood Studios, and you get the late night access for both Epcot and Magic Kingdom depending on when you’re staying... I highly recommend staying here if you’re prioritizing Epcot and Hollywood Studios for your park days...

Two of our group stayed 3 nights, upon checking in my daughter went to her room, received a voice mail telling her the room had maintenance issues and she'd have to move (we had dinner reservations so were running out of time), no one at the front desk knew what was going on... Took forever finally got her a room, oh it's not ready, I said get her a room that's ready, it's way past check in time and we have to go...

    ...There was not one chair available the afternoon we went, why large families thinks everyone in their party needs a full size beach chair is beyond me...

Overall I cannot recommend this hotel or the Epcot resort area, Your $$ is better spent at a different resort- the Carribean Beach Resort overall has more to offer and has a much nicer pool imo...

Housekeeping staff would have had over 1 hr to get our room ready for the next check in... While there were good items: resort was nice and clean (but average as we compare against our typical resorts) but certainly should not be categorized as a “deluxe resort” since there is no room service, no spa, and very limited offerings in the marketplace...

    I genuinely can't express how amazing Disney is, we had an issue onsite and the staff have been amazing in particular Mike and Ana!!... I won't go into detail but we had an issue with our room, Disney went out of their way for us, upgraded us to a suite for the duration of our stay, among a whole other lot of pixie dust... Because of how our situation was handled I'll forever sing this resorts and it's cast members praises for helping us as much as they have and making our trip as magical as they can... I can only imagine some of the stick they can get from guests sometimes for situations out of their control, whilst I understand that this is an expensive trip, cast members will always go out of their way to help you, just be polite to them, it goes an incredibly long way...

We caught the boat or to Epcot, though you could just walk, and the boat or sky liner to Hollywood Studios, and the transport system for Magic Kingdom too... After 2+ hours we did call reception to let them know as the dog sounded distressed, to be fair, the hotel did say they’d contact the owners, who returned around an hour later and the dog did quieten down after this...

    Suffering from stomach flu last full day of our visit so asked for late check-out to rest, rebuild fluids before cross country trip and avoid potentially getting resort guests sick between checkout and going to airport. Extremely difficult process to get late checkout (staff at front desk not empowered but finally approved 2 hrs (instead of the 4 hours I requested) but…... I was required to get ok from House-keeping day of checkout in order to confirm)... My request to talk to resort lead to make decision was not granted – Front Desk person told me House-keeping is the final decision maker – really?... Housekeeping staff would have had over 1 hr to get our room ready for the next check in... These customer service actions by Disney Yacht Club Resort leads me to believe either the front desk is not empowered to make decisions, lacks compassion for my health and other resort goers and/or really want to pass the buck and grind you down ‘til you give up... The treatment from the resort with our unfortunate health situation marred a major family trip... Our travel agent told us to expect a call from Disney Guest Services but it has been over 11 days since checkout and no call back...

    Having stayed at several Disney resorts In the past, we decided to try the Yacht Club this year and were not disappointed. Friendly helpful check in, we had 3 rooms with balconies overlooking the lake and Epcot so had great views of the nightly fireworks... We had an issue with a crying baby next to one of our rooms and reception immediately and sympathetically arranged a room transfer... We asked if we could have some robes in the room and they were delivered before we even got back to the room... The hotel was clean, comfortable and room service very efficient and attentive... In fact all the staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and efficient... We had both dinner and breakfast at the Ale and Compass, both very good... with quick transfer to Hollywood Studios...

The room was conveniently located near one of the quiet pools with a hot tub, and it was open until midnight, which was nice... You can take a boat, the skyliner, or even just walk to either park... For Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs the only transportation option is the bus, which wasn’t a great experience when trying to return after a late night at Magic Kingdom... I highly recommend staying here if you’re prioritizing Epcot and Hollywood Studios for your park days...

    We arrived late so our room was ready... They said, without saying, they will not give us a better room than we paid for... Went to the front desk and again, the didn’t really care... Another guest told us they called an Uber the day before because the same thing happened to them... The ducks come and land in the pool and then the lifeguards go around yelling at the children to stay away from the ducks and tell kids not to bother the ducks... Much better service from islands we have visited over the years...

    Yacht Club went above and beyond to make our stay amazing!... Staff, though clearly stressed, was amazing... Room was perfect, our exact room request was honored, and even though they warn you to expect reduced housekeeping, we had our room turned over daily with constant checks to make sure we had whatever we needed... Ate ate Ale & Compass quick service repeatedly, and they accommodated food allergies without complaint... Ale & Compass sit-down breakfast also amazing, as was Beaches & Cream at Beach Club... A true oasis, even when a hurricane was bearing down, it was open and fully staffed, We have now stayed at multiple Disney deluxe resorts (faves being Wilderness, Poly, Contemporary and AKL) and Yacht Club is def in our list of new favorites to return to!...

    ...Upon arriving to our room, our fridge wasn't working, told the front desk on our way out, they said it be taken care of while we were out. We arrived back around dinner time, still not taken care of, we said we're going out to dinner please take care of it... Called front desk, oh we'll send someone up, no it's too late now, take care of it tomorrow while we're out... The next day we get back from the parks mid afternoon still not taken care of... Hubby went down to the desk, spoke to a manager, they checked with maintenance who said they fixed it, no you didn't... ), oh we'll send someone up in 15 minutes... Luckily this time someone came up with a whole new fridge (door didn't close properly but it worked so we just had to make sure we closed it properly)... We stayed 6 nights, rooms were quiet, no issues with noise... Two of our group stayed 3 nights, upon checking in my daughter went to her room, received a voice mail telling her the room had maintenance issues and she'd have to move (we had dinner reservations so were running out of time), no one at the front desk knew what was going on... Took forever finally got her a room, oh it's not ready, I said get her a room that's ready, it's way past check in time and we have to go... Next trip may try Swan/Dolphin to save some money, same great location...

    The Yacht club was such a great resort to stay at. Perfect if you plan to visit Epcot because it's walking distance and there is a boat just outside the hotel... The boat gives you access to Epcot and Hollywood Studios... It also takes you to and from the Beach club and The Swan and Dolphin... There are busses out front of the hotel that are quick drives to Disney Springs and the other parks... There is a smaller hidden pool we often visited to stay away from crowds and kids when we needed some time to relax... The room was clean and comfortable with plenty of room and a nice balcony... For other parks like Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom I would likely stay at resorts closer to one of those...

    I had not been to this hotel in 20 years and was a bit surprised about a few things... Overall I cannot recommend this hotel or the Epcot resort area, Your $$ is better spent at a different resort- the Carribean Beach Resort overall has more to offer and has a much nicer pool imo...

    ...Had a great 4 night stay in one of the standard, 2 queen bed rooms. Spacious room with all the facilities we needed for a comfortable stay... We enjoyed the large pool and lazy river, as well as the smaller quiet pool towards the back of the hotel... There was always a spare lounger or two, though not always enough shaded areas... We caught the boat or to Epcot, though you could just walk, and the boat or sky liner to Hollywood Studios, and the transport system for Magic Kingdom too...

    ...Quiet, peaceful hotel with some active spots around dining and the pool. The pool is amazing and while we preferred the larger room size of the Grand Floridian rooms we’d return here to stay because of the decor and the pools and the convenience to Epcot... Cape May has excellent breakfast food for a buffet...

    ...Ideal location and perfect for Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom easy to reach via an excellent and efficient bus service... Wondered what staying in the Disney bubble might be like and it delivered in every way... Went with Tui and was good value for money, especially with the dining credit offer... Three generations of our family were on the holiday and the gondolas help make other hotels easily accessible... Otherwise first class experience...

    ...The Yacht Club continues to offer an amazing location and picturesque views that make you feel like your are on vacation. Our room (a Garden View) had a wonderful view of the Gazebo and of the lake (from the side)... We enjoyed pool time, the Beaches & Cream ice cream window and drinks at Hurricane Hannah's and Ale & Compass... We can't wait to return and would absolutely book the Yacht Club again...

    I go to Disney twice a year and generally stay at Deluxe properties... I needed the proximity to Epcot and wanted a great pool... The pool and location can’t be beat...

    Having stayed at several Disney resorts In the past, we decided to try the Yacht Club this year and were not disappointed. Friendly helpful check in, we had 3 rooms with balconies overlooking the lake and Epcot so had great views of the nightly fireworks... We asked if we could have some robes in the room and they were delivered before we even got back to the room... The hotel was clean, comfortable and room service very efficient and attentive... I preferred the smaller, quiet pool but both were excellent... We had both dinner and breakfast at the Ale and Compass, both very good... The shop was OK, not particularly well stocked but there are plenty of options on the Boardwalk or at Disney Springs (although it really pays to stock up on essentials like water and beers at Walmart).... The hotel is situated within walking distance of Epcot (and the Skyliner), the Boardwalk, Swan and Dolphin etc... with quick transfer to Hollywood Studios... Recommend going for a water view room with a balcony, on a higher floor, to get the best views ... All in all, a great stay at what has now become our favourite Disney Resort...

    ...We had a ground level garden view room with a king bed, room 1054... The bathroom was a decent size with a large walk-in shower... The room was conveniently located near one of the quiet pools with a hot tub, and it was open until midnight, which was nice... This hotel is a great option for a few reasons: you get into the parks a half hour earlier than the general public, there are multiple transportation options for both Epcot and Hollywood Studios, and you get the late night access for both Epcot and Magic Kingdom depending on when you’re staying... The best part of this hotel for us was the transportation options to Epcot and Hollywood Studios... You can take a boat, the skyliner, or even just walk to either park... On the nights we stayed at Epcot until closing, the lines for both the boat and skyliner were extremely long, so being able to simply walk back to our hotel was a huge bonus for us... I highly recommend staying here if you’re prioritizing Epcot and Hollywood Studios for your park days...

    This resort is my new favorite at WDW. I stayed for four nights in a garden room... The bed was comfy, shower refreshing, and room nice and quiet... The only issues I had: neither the mobile app nor magic band worked to let me into the room upon arrival (had to return to the front desk to get them set up) and the latch on the slider to the balcony was busted...

    ...Rooms are so comfortable , good size , beds are very comfortable and sheets and pillow cases are good quality... 5 min walk from Epcot which jut only means an easy walk to a park but you could just park hop for dinner (Epcot food is the best park) ... Pool was very cool with slides and gimmicks ... Great views from the hotel of the lake... You can also see Epcot fireworks and you are opposite the broad walk which is a huge plus for dinner ... Prices are basically the same as a London high end reasturant but for everything... The grab and go opens at 7 but some parks open at half 7...

Upgrade to the club level - you definitely won’t regret it... The crew members are super friendly and shared all their tips to maximise Genie+ and our time in the parks... Lots of children’s activities and great amenities shared with the Beach Club... I can’t imagine how Disney could top the location or the team you get to enjoy at the Yacht Club!...

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.

Hotel's Favorite
Arrived at the yacht club, two days ago. Check in with seamless. Front desk was very courteous and receptive. Pool area is excellent. I like the sand bottom. My five year old grandson really enjoyed the pool slide. Hotel is convenient, walkable to the Skyliner and Epcot entrance. Big shout out to Giovanni. When our family arrived he was the first to greet us and made us feel right at home. I found Giovanni later when I was looking for someone to help me with my pen # for the credit card associated to my magic band. Nobody else could get it to work. But Giovanni made things happen. He stuck with us until we got our problem taken care of. Giovanni os a huge asset to the Disney brand! Cheers!

Beautiful hotel, bedrooms are really good size with lots of hanging space and drawers. Short walk to Epcot so really well placed! Great shop for quick service breakfast, great bar for a quick drink or two and Light bites! Couldn’t fault it, would definitely stay again.

If you want to be overcharged, surprised billed while being, land locked on a Disney property without adequate non-Disney food choices more than 20 minutes away, please stay at one of their resorts. I did call their billing customer service and the representative was as helpful as she could be and could not resolve my concern. I will not return to this establishment in the future.

I am a bit torn about this place. We have stayed at the Grand Floridian, the Four Seasons Orlando and the Polynesian. Since our kids are older, we wanted to stay closer to Epcot this time. The Good: It is so close to Epcot and very easy access to Hollywood Studios. Can definately take a break and go back The pool are is nice, sometimes very crowded. The slide was a hit The crafts they offer at an extra cost are really nice quality The feeling by the pool and beach walk is very vaction - vibe Staff at club level were great Nice views of fireworks from the beach and some rooms The not so good: Crowded in some areas The restaurants were not very good except for the Yachtman Service - our daugter got sick and we needed help with a change of bedding at night. The club level desk was closed and my husband went downstairs. And then called.. finally someone showed up with one sheet (!). Then they had to get more bedding. The process took 1.5 hours in the middle of the night The rooms are dated Club level food offerings were not very impressive

This is the first deluxe hotel I have stayed in on Walt Disney World property. Let’s just say it’s going to be very hard to go back to moderate or value hotels. My husband and I had the most amazing getaway over Labor Day weekend. We love Epcot and the fact that you can walk there from here is a huge plus. This wasn’t a typical Disney visit for us, we knew we wanted to have pool time and access to lots of restaurants so this place was perfect. The pool cannot be beat. We spent a lot of time in the lazy River. I also loved looking out of the balcony of our room since we had a pew of the pool and boardwalk. The rooms were immaculate. Everything was super clean and fresh. The Disney Cast Members really went above and beyond for us and truly made us feel special. Cannot wait to come back someday!

Decent resort. Staff was awesome. Good location. We stayed on the club level, which was a nice add with snacks, breakfast and drinks available throughout the day. I would make sure you do not get room 5170 (which is where we stayed). Room is directly across from the staff prep area, adjacent to the club and as an added bonus, next to the ice machine. Every morning the stream of staff and banging carts begins at 5;55 as they prep the club. People start pouring into the club at 630 and things wind down around 11. This room is the equivalent of having two double beds in the back room of a Perkins.

No water in the room, no room service and a 12min walk to the room. Basic facilities with zero care given to warn you of what your room lacks. $500 4 years ago would get you a 5 star St Regis and now you get a shack with no service. The staff smile and just hope you have low expectations.
