    Default Beach Club

    What a great choice. Awesome pools with lazy river area, sandy bottom and a water slide off an old ship wreck. Try the Cape May Cafe buffet breakfast and dinner. Best thing about the BC is you can walk to Epcot and take a short boat to the Studio. A very family oriented hotel. You're gonna love it.

    I've never stayed there either, but have been and it looks incredible! Best pool! Convenient to Epcot & Hollywood Studios. Boardwalk near by!
    Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

    Cool

    Oddly enough, the last time there I was impressed with the speed of the elevators! Third floor to the first in 2 seconds and you don't even feel it move.

    Guess I'm easily impressed.

    I second the elevators! They are amazing. The smell is something I remember well. The place actually smells beachy. I still use the shampoo they had there because I love the smell of it, too. The grounds are so peaceful. Love the location! It is fantastic!! The boardwalk is great. Make sure you eat at the bakery. They have fantastic sandwiches and desserts. Seashore sweets. I took some of my fav. all time night pictures at the beach club. Hang out after the pool closes for great shots of the pool empty. The lounge rooms bc has are great for professional pics so bring a tripod and turn off your flash! you will be impressed. Dont forget to visit the Ariel statue. We forgot too and will have to go back. Cape may cafe is wonderful. So convienent to do laundry and swim at the same time. I just cant find anything wrong with this resort.

    This is one of our favorite resorts! The walk from EPCOT is one of the coolest perks.

    I think it's one of the best resorts for older kids. Great pool, entertainment at the Boardwalk and don't forget Beaches and Cream!

    Have a great time!

    Pretty much everything about Beach Club is great. The pool area is awesome. If you want a great dinner, head to the Yachtsman Steakhouse. Great ice cream at Beaches and Cream. Very convenient to Epcot (walk or boat). Also very quick walk to Boardwalk which features even more food and activities. Have fun!

    I could make a list of great BC amenities that would rival War and Peace, but in trying to keep it interesting, I'll limit myself...

    1. Art the Greeter - a wonderful man welcoming you into the lobby
    2. Stormalong Bay - a fabulous pool (unless you want to swim laps, then hit one of the quiet pools)
    3. Beach Club Marketplace - mornings = yogurt parfait
    4. Beaches & Cream ice cream shop - if you can find a time without a line, this is a fun place to visit
    5. Cape May for breakfast - the best character meal on property!

    And last - but not least - the location is what sets the BC apart. 5 minutes from my room to the Rose & Crown pub - we timed it! Very cool. A short walk to the Boardwalk entertainment district, the Yacht Club, and Swan & Dolphin. You have a marina and great boat service. Plus, it's a moderate walk to MGM, or a moderate boat ride to the same.

    The Beach Club is my favorite place on Earth! Art the Greeter is the most wonderful man!
    We love everything about the BC, from the location, and how amazingly quick we were at EPCOT and DHS, to the food choices, our room, Stormalong Bay, Beaches and Cream, the Boardwalk area and the movies on the beach....I guess what I am trying to say is that there is nothing there that we do not like. I have told my DH that I want to live there.

    Hope you love it!

    I've heard about Art the greeter, I think I saw him on tv once, but I've never seen him! Does he only work mornings? I've been many times in the afternoon and evening and no one was there to greet. I'd just like to meet the guy
