Please welcome back Brandon, my college friend and fellow Disney fanatic and DVC member!
The Beach Club is located right next to the Yacht Club
Resort but you can immediately tell this place is a little more
upscale than even some of the other DVC resorts. All DVC resorts have similar
layouts and floor plans, and this place is no exception: beautifully decorated
rooms with beach flair. Pastels and whites accented the very spacious
one-bedroom villa we stayed in.

Common amenities in a one bedroom (or larger) DVC villa include: a full kitchen, washer, dryer, and a whirlpool. The master bedroom has a king bed which was incredibly comfortable and so large that one night Alice slept between us, and her legs couldn’t
reach to kick my back! Comfort like this is something we have come to expect in
all the DVC resorts though, so let’s talk about what makes Beach Club
different.

As with every DVC resort, there are great food options at
The Beach Club. They have the Yachtman’s Steakhouse, which is a top steak house, a couple of nice lounges to have your adult beverages at,
Captain’s Grille, and of course, Beaches and Cream. Beaches and Cream is an ice
cream shop and soda fountain. We had some great ice cream there, but none of us
were brave enough to try the Kitchen Sink. That is 8 scoops of ice cream with
every topping in the store along with an entire can of whipped cream. I didn’t
see anyone order it either, or I would have definitely taken a picture. We
decided to partake in the seafood buffet at Cape May Café. This was a great
setting, with all you can eat crab legs, fish, sides and more. It was about $30
a person and the price changes based on the market, but it was great. My dad
and I ate until we were sick, and the little desserts they sell, especially the
Oreo bon-bons, are pretty great!
Lastly, the thing we loved most about the Beach Club is the
location. My wife’s favorite resort is the Animal Kingdom Villas, but we have
to drive everywhere from there. We have no patience for the bus system. This
was not the case at Beach Club. Both Hollywood Studios and Epcot are within
walking distance. And the Epcot trail takes you into the back entrance right
into the World Showcase, which is our favorite part of Epcot. The rest of WDW
is also bus accessible if you have patience for that sort of thing. All in all,
Beach Club was one of our favorite DVC experiences so far! Let me know if you
have questions regarding Beach Club or DVC and I would love to help out!
Have a Magical Day!
We got to stay here in March and we loved it...it's beautiful and close to two parks! What's not to love about that?
ReplyDeletethe location is the big sell for beach club, Im normally an animal kingdom lodge type of guy, but the location of beach club is tempting me - would love to just nip into epcot every night!
ReplyDeleteWe usually stay at Old Key West. It's one of the older DVC resorts, but I just love the charm and feeling of it!
