Walt Disney World Resorts
 When
The Walt Disney World Resort was looking for an architect
to design its new Disney's Yacht Club Resort, they found the perfect
candidate in noted architect, Robert A. M. Stern. Stern was known
for his designs of East Coast seaside homes and he brought his expertise
of the New England seashore hotels of the late 1800’s to the
project. Unlike the casual atmosphere of its sister resort, Disneyh's
Beach Club Resort, the resort has more of a quiet, understated elegance
about it. This sophistication is found in the dark hardwood floors,
the leather couches and antique chandeliers of the lobby. The nautical
theme is enhanced with brass fixtures and rich millwork. The exterior
of this stately resort is of gray and white clapboard and the walkways
are lined with Japanese elms, crepe myrtle and magnolias, with gardenias
and roses found in the brick courtyards. The East Coast seaside
theme is prominent in this area with a lighthouse at the end of
the dock that services Disney's Yacht Club Resort and Disney's Beach
Club Resort.
Services / Amenities
Yacht Club Resort Transportation Like Disney's Beach Club Resort, Disney's Yacht Club Resort has the distinct advantage of its close proximity to Epcot. A short ten-minute walk is all that it takes to get to the International Gateway entrance of the World Showcase at Epcot®. For guests who arrive at this entrance prior to the World Showcase “official” opening time of 11:00 a.m., there will be Cast Members to escort guests to Future World. Buses and Friendship launches will take guests to other Walt Disney World® Resort destinations.
For those wishing to go anywhere else on (or off) property, Bell Services can get a taxi for you. The bus stop at Disney's Yacht Club Resort is located to the left as you exit the lobby, on the other side of the porte cochere (valet loading and unloading area).
