Beach Club, a deluxe resort located in the Epcot resort area, provides guests the feel of a beach vacation, mixed with pure Disney charm, a fabulous pool, and great access to two of the four Disney parks!

Beach Club is a sure bet for any mix of Disney travelers. From honeymooners to babymooners,  from young families to multigenerational families, empty nesters to grandparents – this hotel is perfect for ALL!

Disney’s Beach Club Resort
1800 Epcot Resorts Blvd
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

The Beach Club has 576 guest rooms. It faces the 25 acre Crescent Lake and is within walking distance of the Boardwalk entertainment district. Most rooms have a balcony, although they are quite small. Most rooms have 2 queen beds and a daybed.

Disney’s Beach Club has a sister resort – Yacht Club. The two hotels share what could be considered the best and most extensive pool area of all the Disney resorts. It is like having a personal water park right at your Disney resort.

The On The Road Travel team can help you pick the perfect room for your stay at Beach Club. If a standard room at Beach Club is not the sort of space you are dreaming of, you are in luck, as Beach Club Villas, have studios, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom options as well.

Some rooms will fit up to 5 guests + 1 child under the age of 3.
Other rooms accommodate up to 4 guests + 1 child under the age of 3.

If you are looking for an elevated stay at Beach Club, Club Level rooms offer access to snacks, beverages, and treats most of the day. From turndown service to assistance prior to arriving at Disney World, the concierge team will have guests covered! You can take beverages and snacks out of the club level lounge to your room, to the pool, and to the park!  Club Level rooms are a good option if you like to take mid-day breaks, enjoy adult beverages to start (mimosa) or finish your day, or have travel partners who can eat their weight in snacks (teenage boys, for instance).
Beach Club (and sister resort, Yacht Club) are pet friendly resorts.  Up to two dogs are allowed per room to join in the family fun.  (Pets are not allowed in the parks or in common areas)  There are some things you need to know if you plan to bring your pooch, so be sure to talk to your OTRT agent about all the things you need to know.

Transportation:
Bussing from the resort is provided to all four theme parks and Disney Springs. Buses depart approximately every 20 minutes. Below you’ll find the approximate time it takes to get from Beach Club to those locations once on the bus.

A benefit of this resort is boat transportation. Beach Club has friendship boat access to and from Hollywood Studios and Epcot.

The Skyliner system is also an option to get you to Hollywood Studios. Beach Club is less than a ten minute walk from the International Gateway at Epcot where there is now a Skyliner hub.  If you’re up for it, it’s a 20-30 minute walk to Hollywood Studios.
