The Disney Beach Club ResortThe Disney Beach Club resort is a relaxing and comfortable resort to stay at while vacationing at Disney. The look and feel of the resort is that of a casual beach house. The thought of relaxing while at Disney is inviting because lets face it, a vacation at Disney can sometimes be hectic and exhausting. But, the Beach Club environment almost immediately puts you in a beach bum state of mind. 
We always enjoy visiting the Disney Beach Club resort simply because it feels more like home. It is a relaxing and fun resort instead of a stuffy, formal hotel or resort where you are afraid to relax or have fun. Even the color scheme is relaxing. The exterior of the resort is in pastels of blue and white and the interior of the lobby and rooms are pale pinks and blues. 
The fun part comes in the form of a fabulous pool called Stormalong Bay. The pool is shared by both the Yacht and The Beach club resorts and is located centrally between the two. It has a sandy bottom and a 300 foot long incredible slide that starts at the top of a shipwreck that sits on the shore of Crescent lake. This massive pool also has a lazy river, a sand bar, and several hot tubs. Little bridges allow you to cross over from one side of the pool to the other without having to go completely around the outside of the pool. Another fun thing to do while taking a break from the activities at the pool is to grab an ice cream cone or sundae from the Beaches and Cream ice cream shop located near the pool area. The Beach Club resort is definitely one of our favorite resorts. Not only because it is relaxing and has so many fun things to do but because it is located at the back door of Epcot and within walking distance to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Take your time to look at the information and the pictures that are provided and decide if you and your family would enjoy a visit to the Beach Club resort. The Disney Beach Club Resort Rooms
The standard rooms at the Disney Beach Club Resort have two queen beds or one king bed in 380 square feet of space. Some rooms also have a day bad which allows room to accommodate up to five people. Each room has a small refrigerator, a coffee maker, a small table with two chairs, armoire with TV and plenty of drawers to store your clothes. Bathrooms are separated into two areas. The tub/shower and toilet are closed off from the vanity and double sink area. This separated area is convenient if you have teenagers like we do. It allows one person to shower while another person gets ready. You will not need to pack a makeup mirror or a hair dryer because Disney has provided these for your use. Other categories of rooms include Deluxe Standard rooms with 533 square feet and a variety of different sized suites. Concierge level rooms are on the fifth floor and give guests access to a private lounge area that provides complimentary food and beverages throughout the day and evening. Other amenities include the services of the concierge staff, private check-in and check-out, bathrobes and a nightly turn down service. Not all of the rooms at The Disney Beach Club resort have balconies so if this feature is important to you, please ask specifically for a room with a balcony when making your reservations. Keep in mind that requests are not guaranteed.

Children's Playground - a small play area for children is located near the Stormalong Bay Pool. Jogging - Those of you who find it difficult to leave your exercise routine at home can use the 3/4 mile circular boardwalk as a jogging track. 
Swimming - In my opinion, the Stormalong Bay pool that is located at the Yacht and Beach Club resorts is the best pool complex offered by any of the Disney resorts. It is more like a small water park rather than just a pool. It has a 300 foot awesome slide that starts out from an old shipwreck located on the beach of Crescent Lake. 
It also has a tidal whirlpool, a sandy bottom, a sand bar, a lazy river and several hot tubs. When the children were smaller,they enjoyed the sandy beach area where they could play in the sand and build castles. 
There is also a separate kiddie pool area for younger children and a quiet pool for guests who want to relax in an area that is a little less active . 
Most everyone, children and adults like to enjoy the slide and the currents of the lazy river. Inter tubes can be rented for floating along the lazy river.
