Disney's Yacht Club Resort is a New England nautical-themed resort, part of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida which opened on November 5, 1990. One of several Epcot Area Resorts, it is located next to its sister resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort, and across the lagoon from Disney's BoardWalk Resort. Boat transportation runs to Epcot and Disney-MGM Studios as well as the BoardWalk and the Swan & Dolphin. The resort also shares amenities with Disney's Beach Club Resort. The Yacht Club is home to a 73,000 square foot Convention Center shared with the Beach Club. The Yachtsman Steakhouse, the resort's only fine dining location, is located at the Yacht Club. The Yacht Club Galley is the Yacht Club's buffet style location, located directly off the lobby. The resort's distinctive beige color and red and white striped awnings distinguish itself from the light blue motif of Disney's Beach Club Resort. The Yacht Club is slightly more formal in decor, designed to make guests feel as if they are actually on a ship rather than inside a land based structure. Color tones of deep blues, browns, and bronzes were used to convey a nautical feel. Hidden Mickeys can be found in the carpeting in hallways leading to guest rooms, reminding guests subtly of their present location. The Yacht Club also shares one of the nation's largest sand bottom pools with the Beach Club, called Stormalong Bay. The pool is advertised as a "mini-waterpark", featuring a sand bottom swimming area, lazy river, and large slide from a wrecked ship just outside of the play area on the beach.
