Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

[Ksims616]

Hi! We are so excited to arrive for our first YC stay July 1-5 (marking off the last resort needed to be able to say I’ve stayed everywhere and my first CL stay ) for my annual birthday trip. Quick question about the quiet pools: are they currently still 24 hours? Both my 17 year old and I like to start the day with a few laps prior to going to the parks and SAB opens a bit too late (and isn’t really a “laps” kinda pool). Thanks so much!

The quiet pools are open 24 hours, no lifeguards

Quiet [aka leisure] pool posted hours are 7:00 AM - 11:00 PM. They are accessible 24 hours with no locks on the gates. I have seen swimmers in the pool as early as 5:30 AM, yes I'm an early bird and after 11:00 PM as well. I can't speak to any specific enforcement for the hours but assume noise would be the issue to trigger that.

Hi, does anyone have a spa recommendation in the Epcot area, specifically for massage? Anticipating our early summer trip to YC and travel, especially after driving, I want to book one if my last flight was indicative of travel being tough on me. I was considering the Ship Shape. Or if anyone has experience with something else close, such as if Boardwalk or the Swan/Dolphin have a spa? How far do you recommend booking in advance?

I've never been to it, but there is a spa at the Dolphin.

I went to this spa a long long time ago (2002?) and it still stands out as one of the best spa experiments I've ever had. beautifully decorated, very soothing, and a great massage. hopefully they'll still as good after all this time

Staying at Yacht Club for first time in June. Is there anywhere to use a toaster or microwave before the Market at Ale & Compass opens at 7:00?

Here now & sorry, there is no microwave or toaster outside the market.

Where can I find a list of conferences that are taking place this year?? I am trying to avoid a resort that may be busier than another. Thank you

Are the parking lots for YC/BC/BCV connected? We have a split stay between YC and BCV and weren't really sure if there would be any reason to move our vehicle? Does it matter if we self park versus valet?

Also, anything I need to consider relative to bell services holding our luggage at YC when we switch to BCV? I assume we wouldn't be "transferring" our luggage like normal split stays?

TIA!

Technically the YC and BC/BCV parking areas are connected, but only via gate controlled service roads used by Disney buses and other "official" vehicles. YC and BC/BCV have separate security staffed entrances to control each resort's transportation flow, access and parking. You'll need to move your car from YC on checkout day and provide the car information to BC/BCV when checking in.

While you can transfer your luggage from YC to BCV, I would recommend just loading up the car at the YC, driving over to BC/BCV and checking it with Bell Services when you check in. If you're lucky, your room might even be ready and you can bypass that step. Also, not sure if you're staying at BCV on points but if so then you'll avoid the nightly parking fee.

Finally after three years heading to my favorite hotel Disney Yacht Club.

Have fun! We stayed there for the first time in March and it’s now our favorite resort too.

Arrived at Yacht Club we were given Room 1030 it is the farthest room from anything lol. Husband has psoriatic arthritis so I asked to be moved closer. They were super kind about it and we are now on 2nd floor with view of gazebo. It’s HOT today. So happy to finally be back.

I don't have a specific answer to your question but I would urge you to send an email/call to guest services ASAP and let them know of your circumstances.

Here is the link to the page that has information about accommodations for your circumstances.
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/hotels-accessibility/

From that page:

"How to Book an Accessible Room​

Please select the “Accessible Rooms” checkbox when you book your vacation online to view available accessible rooms.
If you would prefer to book over the phone, please call (407) 939-1936. Guests under 18 years of age must have parent or guardian permission to call.

Definitely contact Disney and let them know what you will need. Hopefully you can connect with a competent person who can assist you."

You may have already done this but I thought I would post the information for others to see.

Have a fantastic trip and feel better fast!

Work Being Done To Board Walk Area of Disney’s Yacht Club Resort​

You can see that an area of the Boardwalk Walkway is blocked off and construction crews hard at work.

Construction signage is up at Walt Disney World.

You can see from these images that the wooden planks have been pulled up from the walkway.

It looks as if they are being replaced.

I’ve always wondered what it looked like under those boards!
