Continuing with my Disney hotel series, I've finally moved on to the Deluxe level of hotels--for those who want to pay the big bucks and/or make the most of their Disney vacation. First up is the Beach and Yacht Club.
These are technically two separate hotels but share amenities and staffs. They are often combined in reference as well. The Beach Club is styled to look like a turn-of-the-century seaside resort. There is also a fifth floor concierge level for those willing to pay the price and want to be treated like VIPs. One of the main attractions of the Beach Club that I want to go to is the Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. It is a burger joint and ice cream shoppe. They have a specialty called "The Kitchen Sink Sundae" because it includes everything plus the kitchen sink (no joke, the ice cream is served in a kitchen sink). I don't have a big enough stomach to handle such a task (unless about ten people want to split one with me. Any takers?) so I'll just have a regular sundae.
The Yacht Club is designed to make guests feel like they are staying aboard a ship. The hotel comes with a fancy restaurant called the Yachtsman Steakhouse and a less-formal dining experience called the Captain's Grille. It also shares Stormalong Bay with the Beach Club, a beach along one of the lakes inside Walt Disney World.
Besides the bus to and from the parks, you can also reach the Beach and Yacht clubs by boat. A ferry runs between the hotels, the Swan, the Dolphin, the Boardwalk, Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Epcot is also a five minute walk from the hotels. Guests can access the park via the International Gate. This will lead you to an area between the France Pavilion and the United Kingdom pavilion. Because of this, the resort is labeled an "Epcot" resort.
