Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort captures the character of a classic New England yacht club along the shores of Crescent Lake. Oyster-gray shingles, striped awnings, gleaming brass, and beautifully detailed ship models give the resort an elegant nautical style without making it feel overly formal.

Inside, dark oak floors, leather seating, and deep navy accents create a quieter, more sophisticated setting than the neighboring Beach Club. Yet the location keeps guests close to everything: EPCOT’s International Gateway and Disney’s BoardWalk are within walking distance, while Disney’s Hollywood Studios can be reached by boat or walking path.

Yacht Club shares Stormalong Bay with Beach Club, giving guests access to its sand-bottom pools, lazy river, and shipwreck waterslide. The resort’s spacious guest rooms and full-size balconies make it especially appealing to guests who want to enjoy the waterfront setting as much as the nearby parks.

Accommodations

Guest Rooms

At approximately 400 square feet, Yacht Club’s guest rooms are among the more spacious standard accommodations at Walt Disney World. Hardwood floors, deep navy accents, blue-and-white upholstered headboards, and brass details give the rooms a fresh nautical character. Most have two queen beds, many with a sea blue sofa that makes into a flipover bed, while some king rooms may also include a sleeper sofa. Raised beds provide room for luggage storage underneath.

A wood-and-granite desk, porthole-style mirror, nautical bureau, and wall-mounted television complete the sleeping area. Near the bathroom, a generously sized illuminated closet includes a fold-down ironing board. The vanity can be closed off from the bedroom with sliding pocket doors and has two sinks set into a white quartz countertop, a lighted makeup mirror, and excellent lighting. The toilet and shower area are behind a separate door. Some rooms have a bathtub, but these are limited and should be requested in advance, but not guaranteed.

Other amenities include a coffeemaker, beverage cooler, and electronic safe. Nearly every room has a full-size balcony or patio, one of Yacht Club’s most important advantages over the neighboring Beach Club. View Disney’s Yacht Club’s Guest Room on the Glass Slipper Concierge YouTube channel.

Cara’s Tip: Resort View rooms may overlook rooftops, the parking area, or the front of the resort. Water View rooms face Crescent Lake, Stormalong Bay, or both, and select locations may offer distant views of the EPCOT fireworks. Yacht Club’s hallways can be lengthy, so request a room near the lobby if minimizing the walk is important.

Club Level Rooms

Regatta Club

The fifth-floor Regatta Club has a brighter, more relaxed atmosphere than Yacht Club’s dark-paneled lobby. Soft coastal colors, comfortable seating, and nautical details carry the resort’s theme into the lounge without making it feel overly formal. One of its best features is the full-size outdoor balcony, something few Disney Club Level lounges offer. It overlooks the resort entrance rather than Crescent Lake, but the outdoor seating is especially enjoyable.

Breakfast includes a generous selection of pastries, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, egg dishes, breakfast meats, and coffee from a self-service Nespresso machine. Lighter snacks are available during the afternoon, followed by wine, beer, hors d’oeuvres, and several hot selections in the early evening. Desserts and cordials are served later at night. The offerings go well beyond light snacks; breakfast is generous, and the evening service can easily become dinner.

Suites

All suites at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort include access to the Regatta Club, regardless of their location within the resort. Because many suites are not on the fifth floor, reaching the lounge may require an elevator ride and a walk through the resort.

Turret Suites

The Turret Suites are among Yacht Club’s most unusual accommodations. Their rounded sitting rooms, walls of windows, navy-and-cream décor, and views toward Crescent Lake give them a character entirely their own. At approximately 1,160 square feet, the suite offers two separate living areas. The main parlor includes a sleeper sofa, desk, television, and wet bar, while the sunlit turret has hardwood floors, additional seating, and a dining table for four. The curved walls and broad sweep of windows make this the room everyone remembers.

The primary bedroom has a king bed, and the second bedroom has two queen beds and a separate entrance. Each bedroom has access to a full bathroom. Depending on the floor, patios or balconies extend from the primary bedroom and turret, with views toward Crescent Lake and Disney’s BoardWalk.

Two-Bedroom Suite

The 1,256-square-foot Two-Bedroom Suites offer a more traditional layout than the Turret Suites, with two private bedrooms arranged around a central living room. Located on the third and fourth floors, they overlook either Crescent Lake or Stormalong Bay.

Navy, cream, warm wood, and brass accents continue the resort’s nautical style throughout the suite. Each bedroom has a king bed, while the living room includes a queen-size sleeper sofa, allowing the suite to accommodate up to six guests. The living room gives everyone a comfortable place to gather, with a dining table and doors opening onto a full-size balcony overlooking Crescent Lake or Stormalong Bay. Doors open onto a full-size balcony overlooking the water. 

Commodore Vice Presidential Suite

The Commodore Vice Presidential Suite is one of Yacht Club’s quieter signature accommodations. Its windows look over the resort gardens rather than Crescent Lake, and the décor stays true to the resort with deep navy, cream, warm wood, and restrained nautical details.

The two bedrooms are positioned on opposite sides of the living room. One has a king bed, and the other has two queen beds, accommodating up to six guests. The separation works particularly well when parents and older children are sharing the suite or when two couples are traveling together. Choose the Commodore Suite for its privacy and understated atmosphere rather than a dramatic waterfront view. 

Presidential and Admiral Suite

At 2,374 square feet, the Captain’s Deck Suite is Yacht Club’s largest suite. Tucked into a private first-floor corner near the resort’s shops, it feels more like a hospitality suite than a traditional hotel accommodation. The view is not its greatest strength; the appeal is the enormous layout and private garden patio.

The great room is finished in cream, navy, and gold, with hardwood floors, a large sectional, two lounge chairs, a chess table, and a dining table for twelve. An adjoining service kitchen has a full-size refrigerator, sink, microwave, and coffeemaker, but no stove. Doors open from the living room onto an oversized brick patio screened by landscaping from the nearby parking area.

The primary bedroom has a king bed, chaise lounge, easy chair and ottoman, bureau, and private patio. Its white-and-gray marble bathroom includes an oversized shower, deep soaking tub, two sinks, and a separate toilet area. The second bedroom has two queen beds, a chaise lounge, private patio, and full bathroom.

Several entrances allow guests and resort staff to move through the suite without always using the main foyer. For a large family or a private gathering, no other suite at Yacht Club offers so much flexibility. View the Captain’s Deck Suite on Glass Slipper Concierge’s YouTube channel.

Plan Your Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Vacation

Evenings at Yacht Club have a character all their own: lights shimmering across Crescent Lake, the glow of Disney’s BoardWalk beyond the water, and EPCOT close enough for an after-dinner stroll. Glass Slipper Concierge advisors have walked these halls and toured the rooms and suites, so their recommendations come from firsthand experience.
