Disney's Beach Club Resort
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disney's Beach Club Resort is a beach-themed resort which is part of the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
The Beach Club Resort is one of the Epcot Area Resorts. It is located on the lagoon which lies between Epcot and Disney-MGM Studios and is close enough to walk to either Epcot's International Gateway park entrance or Disney-MGM Studios. Boat transportation also runs to Epcot and Disney-MGM Studios as well as the BoardWalk and the Swan & Dolphin.
The resort shares amenities with Disney's Yacht Club Resort and also has villas that are part of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC).
Located at the Beach Club is the popular Cape May Cafe which holds an indoor clambake for dinner and a character breakfast currently with Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Chip n' Dale. Beaches & Cream Soda Shop is a small snack shop located here as well.
The Beach Club Resort shares a pool with the Disney's Yacht Club Resort. However, the pool that they share is the largest and deepest pool in Walt Disney World. It has a huge slide that goes across the street, whirlpools, waterfalls, and a "lazy river" that is very deep (more than 6 feet). It is the only pool that you need a wrist band to get into. (Wrist bands are available, free of charge, to all guests staying at the Yacht and Beach Club Resort. All you need to get them is to show your room key to one of the lifeguards near where you receive towels.)
The Beach Club, and the Yacht Club, were featured on the Travel Channel show "Great Hotels."
