Yacht Club Review (including Club Level)


This lakeside hotel provides you the formal grace of a grand New England-style yacht club.  An elegant lobby invites you to relax and catch up with family & friends.  There is a wonderful large pool shared with the Beach Club, Stormalong Bay.  And because it connects to its sister property, Beach Club, you can access everything at both Resorts easily!

The Yacht Club is only about a 6-7 minute walk to EPCOT and about a 20-30 minute walk to Hollywood Studios.  Alternatively you can walk to EPCOT and catch the Skyliner to Hollywood Studios.  It is not considered a Skyliner Resort, but it truly is in my opinion based on the fact that you can easily walk to the EPCOT Skyliner Depot.  You can also elect to take the Friendship Boats to either EPCOT or Hollywood Studios.

The rooms are spacious and pretty.  Decorated in a nautical theme.  


Not only do you have good food options on site, you are within walking distance to the following Resorts, which offer additional dining: Beach Club, Boardwalk, Swan, and Dolphin.  The Beach Club is home to the famous Beaches & Cream, who serve up one of the most popular Disney Snacks - the Kitchen Sink.  It offers a sit down restaurant (reservations highly recommended) as well as a walk up window.  As one of the most coveted dining options at Disney, if you don't get a sit down reservation, you are still able to make a trip to their ice cream window.



Stormalong Bay, the onsite pool, is one of the largest on Disney's property.  It's shared by the Yacht & the Beach Club, and has an incredible slide and multiple different areas to play in.




Club Level at the Yacht Club - Accessing the Exclusive Regatta Club.  I had a chance to stay here in February 2022 and fell in love with the staff and the amenities available staying Club Level.  You are on the 5th floor, which requires special scanning in the elevator.  They served breakfast, light snacks, dinner, and a dessert with cordials each day.  Because it's so convenient to both EPCOT & Hollywood Studios, it was something we were able to enjoy on multiple days of our trip.




The Yacht Club has quickly become my top go-to Resort and because it's a Deluxe Resort, you currently also get early morning entry (available to all guests on property) and Deluxe late night entry (available to those staying at Deluxe Disney Resorts).

How I Made An Easy Version of Crystal Palace's Breakfast Lasagna

I've enjoyed spending some time during these months of stay at home orders finding fun Disney recipes and making them at home to enjoy!   This Breakfast Lasagna from the Crystal Palace at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom was my biggest challenge to date.  I found this recipe from food.com which appeared to be the most accurate reproduction based on comments so I thought I'd use this as my starting point.  It was a little intimidating at first glance, but then I figured I could tweak it a little bit.  I really didn't want to make homemade everything! First I chose to skip the pancakes and just use two layers of waffles.  Then, because my husband is the waffle maker and I'm not, I elected to use frozen waffles instead of making those from scratch. I bought pre-made pound cake instead of making it from scratch. But I did use the recipe listed for custard and pastry cream.  I started making those on a Friday afternoon so they could refrigerate overnight....

"To All That Come To This Happy Place, Welcome!"

Don't you love that quote by Walt Disney "To all that come to this Happy Place, Welcome!".  What a beautiful way of welcoming people to Disneyland - or to my little corner of the web world!  My name is Jlynn and I love to talk to others about #allthingDisney!  Whether that's the recent thing you saw on Disney+, your recent trip to one of the Parks, an upcoming Disney Cruise, or simply a fun Disney craft you made! I've always enjoyed sprinkling a little Disney Magic into my family's life over the years.  Now let me sprinkle a little Disney Magic into yours. I am a Magical Agent with Magical Vacations LLC .  I have been blessed to be able to take my LOVE of all things Disney and use it to help YOU find your own love of Disney.  Not only Disney, but Universal as well.  In 2016 my kids convinced me to add Universal onto a trip to Orlando.  I hadn't expected to enjoy it quite as much as I did, but we all absolutely loved it!  Each of the...

Make Your Own Autograph Book

I have a confession.  I've never purchased an autograph book when I traveled to Disney.  I know there are a lot of options when it comes to buying a pre-made autograph book...you can get so many different kinds; Princess versions, Fab Five versions, Pixar versions....so why did I make my own each time we traveled?  The short answer: I never wanted to run out of an autograph page!  I always had this horror that if I bought a pre-made autograph book that I would be standing in line with one of my kids to get an autograph of a character and we'd be flipping through the book and we'd find we had no more pages for someone to autograph!  That's really the only reason.  Those pre-made ones are gorgeous and super easy, and in a pinch I would have totally grabbed one to use.   But, if you have a few extra minutes before a trip, you can easily make your own with some card stock, a paper cutter, and a small 4x6 photo album from the store.  I purchased ...
