Accommodations Review:
|
We stayed in the Yacht Club Resort's Captains Deck Suite. This suite
is the largest suite at the resort. It is 2,374 square feet in size,
and it contains two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dining room, a kitchen
area, a sitting area, an office area, and a living room. The suite
was beautifully decorated and maintained. |
Why Did you Select This Resort for your Stay?
|
We needed a two-bedroom suite because my sister and her children
were vacationing with us. My family prefers suite accommodations because
of the togetherness that it promotes. |
Room # and Location Description:
|
Room number 1116 was located on the first floor of the Yacht Club,
on the backside. This suite actually took up the entire end of the
wing that it was located in, which made this suite five resort rooms
wide. |
Room Location Pros & Cons:
|
It would have been wonderful to have had a water view, but with
the suite located on the backside of the resort, it had its own private
patio area that was accessible only by guests of our suite. This patio
area was beautifully landscaped and was quite large at 740 square
feet. |
Check-In / Check-Out Comments:
|
Check-in was via the Front Desk, and it went smoothly. The Resort
Manager On Duty stopped by while we were checking in and he welcomed
us to the Yacht Club, which was a lovely gesture. However, once check-in
was completed, we had to find our own way to our room. No one offered
to show us where it was located, which I found strange considering
we were concierge guests. I felt the Yacht Club lacked in this respect.
For check-out, we used Disney’s express check-out, which is
always great. |
WDW Transportation Comments:
|
We only hung out at Epcot and Disney Studios, so we either walked
or took the Friendship Boats everywhere we traveled. Our boat waits
were no longer than 15 minutes, and sometimes a boat was waiting for
us at the dock when we walked up to it. |
Restaurant / Lounge Review:
|
We dined at the pool area's Hurricane Hanna's Grill. We had a birthday
party at the Yacht Club Galley. Both places were very nice, especially
the Cast Members. We primarily ate our meals in Epcot, Disney Studios,
or at the Boardwalk. |
Pool Description / Comments:
|
Stormalong Bay is an incredible swimming pool complex. We had the
best time there, both the adults and the children. |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering This
Resort?
|
If you're going to spend a lot of time in Epcot or Disney Studios,
the Yacht Club is an excellent resort choice. |
