Big Time fun at the Beach Club
Once you get to 5 people in the family, Disney is kind of a pain to book. We booked here because our daughter liked it. The swim area is amazing, only problem is the slide starts outside the main area, so if you have younger kids, it’s worrisome to have them walk through the busy path by themselves. Rooms are very nice. Location cannot be beat

Beautiful hotel, with a fabulous pool
Last time we came to Disney we stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge. This time we wanted to stay somewhere different and a few people recommended The Beach Club. What a beautiful hotel and the pool was awesome! It had a lazy river, two water slides, hot tubs and a sandy area. Kids loved it! We always found seating too. This hotel is also located across from The Boardwalk and walking distance to Epcot and the Skyliner. It’s all about location! Our room was located on the second floor, very close to the lobby. We liked this location. Easy access to the pool, The Market Place and the front entrance. Decent size room. A few drawbacks: you can’t get coffee outside of your room until 7am. Late for early risers! I had to go to the Swam a few mornings to get breakfast and coffee. The bathroom (shower and toilet) is tiny!! And I mean tiny! The sinks are located outside. Finally, all four mornings we had NO hot water! I told the front desk each morning and it and fixed at night, but the next morning it was cold again. I detest cold showers!! They did give us a credit, but probably not enough compared to how much we paid for the room. Overall, we liked this hotel but wish a few things were different….

Great location and made the Disney experience easy
We stayed at the Beach Club in a club level room for 6 nights during our stay in Orlando with the prime aim of visiting all the Disney theme parks and maximising magic hours. We chose the beach club based on location and had two interconnecting rooms for our family of 4. We also chose the club level to enjoy the extra facilities that offered. It delivered exactly what we wanted. The club level lounge was brilliant for a quick breakfast before we headed out early each day, the drinks (including alcohol) snacks and coffees were perfect for a quick recharge, rewind whenever we needed during the day. The rooms were spacious and clean and very comfortable after long days in the parks. The location was great for the skyliner, boat and bus to various parks. We also walked to Hollywood studios (about half an hour) to save on transport waits. Epcot was on the doorstep so that was great. The only downside was the bus timetable was not very clear unless you found it buried in the Disney app so we found we timed this wrong a couple of days which impacted our magic hours. This could do with being publicised better, maybe as a ‘live departure’ board in the club lounge or reception. Overall though a great choice for a Disney break and we’d definitely recommend.

Don’t stay here unless you are visiting Disney
Don’t stay here for any other reason than using the Disney facilities. Unfortunately went to a conference and was booked here and was placed next to the elevator and all day long there is the noise from elevator and screaming kids. Hotel management does not care

Beware of Disney’s Booking Policy
We never actually stayed at the hotel. But the experience of trying to cancel a booking with Disney, 14 days in advance I might add, was extraordinarily aggravating. It’s an experience that others should be aware of. Our plans to visit Disney World were in conjunction with a planned family visit that had to be postponed due to damage from 2 recent hurricanes. It took 4 days of emails, phone calls and many minutes of waiting on hold to finally get someone to simply help me cancel the hotel reservation. Unbelievably absurd. I noticed when I booked the Beach Resort that I couldn’t find any cancellation policy which is extremely unusual for a hotel. And now I know why. That policy was made clear to me after 4 days of emails and phone calls that began 14 days in advance of our planned arrival. A 65€ fee…per person. One cancellation fee wouldn’t be enough for Disney. No, why not multiply it for every guest as if it were an airplane ticket? Needless to say, I have lost all respect for Disney and I have no incentive to ever stay at a Disney owned hotel in the future. And any future visit to Disney World will be a first and last experience for the sole purpose of providing that pleasure to my young children.
