Beach Club is the more casual, beachy sister to Yacht Club, with a light Cape Cod cottage look. It is the closest Disney resort to EPCOT's International Gateway, which makes it a favorite for families who want to pop over for a few hours and come back for a pool break.


It shares Stormalong Bay with Yacht Club, so kids get the best pool on property. Like its neighbor, the trade-off is bus rides to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. Exterior maintenance is scheduled to continue into 2027, so some views or walkways may be affected.
