Disney's Yacht Club Resort

Great experience from start to finish. All of the services were great. The hotel is top notch from the moment you exit your vehicle to the accomodation of any request you may have. Our son fell ill and even at 3 a.m. their services didn't fail to exceed expectation. The clerk at the main lobby front desk, Lori (from Denver by way of Pittsburgh) aided in locating and supplying medicine and general care items to help my 4 year old recover in as quick a manner as possible so he could enjoy his time at Disney World. She is a kind and sweet lady who went above and beyond to help salvage as much of our experience as possible (even though she wasn't feeling well herself). Phenominal customer service. Phenominal staff. Phenominal experience.

We stayed at Disney’s Yacht Club in Orlando and honestly… it didn’t live up to the hype (or the price). Biggest issue: noise. The walls/floors felt paper-thin. We could hear our neighbors talking all night and every single step from the people above us. It was hard to sleep, which is kind of the whole point of a hotel. The room itself was fine, but the bathroom was tiny and for what they charge, the basics weren’t there,, no toothbrush or anything helpful like that. The location is nice, but even that was a bit disappointing: the boardwalk across the lake felt pretty dead, barely anyone around. It honestly seems like the crowd has shifted over to Disney Springs. Service was good and everyone was polite, but it wasn’t “wow” service like the ratings make it sound. Overall, it wasn’t worth the money for us, and I wouldn’t come back.

This place transports you out of Florida and makes you feel like you’ve arrived at an upscale yacht club in the Hamptons, NY. The ambiance is elegant and coastal, with décor that blends sophisticated details, light colors, and relaxing seaside elements throughout the hotel. Even though it’s set on a lake, the atmosphere gives you the sensation of being right on the beach, thanks to the views, the breeze, and the overall design. The service is exceptional from the moment you arrive—staff members are attentive, friendly, and well-organized. The food is equally impressive, with dishes that are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything works together seamlessly: the environment, the professionalism, and the quality. They have a water taxi that takes you to other places like The dolphin swan, Disney broad-walk, Epcot center, Hollywood studios. The taxi runs every other 10 minutes and the ride last for about 2 minutes.

Absolutely beautiful resort and exactly what we needed after our (non-disney) Cruise! Everyone was so helpful and our room is great and in a quiet location. Wish I could request that exact room again some time! Others might not like the distance from the elevator, but I loved that it was tucked in and away from usual hallway noise.

We stayed at the Walt Disney World Yacht Club Resort in late September 2025 for five nights, Club Level, and it was our first time staying at this resort. We typically stay at the monorail resorts, but for this trip—an adults-only getaway while we left the kids at home—we wanted to try something different and spend several relaxed days enjoying EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival. Going in, we honestly expected it would be hard to top the Club Level experience we had earlier this summer at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, where the cast members truly set the bar exceptionally high. We were so pleasantly surprised by how much we loved the Yacht Club. From start to finish, it was a charming, delightful stay, made truly special by exceptional cast members who genuinely cared and made every interaction memorable. The warmth, sincerity, kindness, and respect shown throughout the resort were outstanding. We could not have been more pleased with any aspect of our first Yacht Club stay. The Club Level experience exceeded our expectations. The food offerings were fantastic—both in quality and variety—and the service from the Club Level cast was attentive without ever feeling intrusive. While the lounge itself is smaller than some other Club Level lounges we’ve experienced on Disney property, it works beautifully. We never had trouble finding a table, and food was always plentiful, fresh, and well prepared. We especially enjoyed the small outdoor deck and terrace, which allowed for relaxed outdoor dining and was a great place to unwind. Mousekeeping was excellent and took wonderful care of our room throughout the stay. You can truly tell that each cast member takes pride in their role. From the moment you walk into the lobby and are warmly greeted, to every interaction across the resort, this was a 10/10 Disney experience for us. The resort grounds are perfectly maintained. Everything felt clean, fresh, and beautiful, and the upscale coastal theme is carried through thoughtfully and consistently. Our water-view room was spacious, with a fantastic view, good storage, and a warm, inviting feel. The beds and linens were extremely comfortable and contributed to a very restful stay. The location of the Yacht Club deserves every bit of praise it gets. We found it incredibly convenient—about a 5–6 minute walk to EPCOT’s International Gateway and an easy 15-minute walk to Hollywood Studios. Bus service to Magic Kingdom worked well, and for Animal Kingdom we opted for a quick $6 Uber after just missing a bus, which felt well worth it rather than waiting another 20 minutes. One final note: we were so impressed with our stay that we’ve already rebooked a second visit to the Yacht Club. On our upcoming trip, we’ll be bringing our two daughters, and we can’t wait for them to experience Disney in a new way at such a high-quality resort. It’s clear that the resort’s leadership sets a strong, positive example and guides cast members to take genuine pride in their work. The sincere, thoughtful, and kind interactions we experienced throughout our stay reflect that direction from the top. Often it’s the smallest gestures that make the biggest difference, and the Yacht Club excels at that. We’re truly thankful for our first experience and very much looking forward to our return.
