The Exchange on Walt Disney World Resorts
Disney's Beach Club Resort
Disney's Beach Club Villas
Resort Category:
Deluxe and Deluxe Villa
Great for:
Families with children of all ages and Couples.
Biggest Perk:
The proximity to Epcot cannot be overstated; it's such a quick walk from the resort. As if that wasn't enough, this resort has one of the best pools on property. The main pool area has a variety of pools connected together with zero entry in places and sandy play areas for that beach feel. Did I mention it's got one of the best slides on property and a lazy river? Yea, we love this one.
Biggest Drawback:
The size of the resort can sometimes mean that, depending on your room location, it could be a bit of a hike to get to the boardwalk to head over to Epcot. The indoor quick service restaurant and gift shops are also not all that great in this resort.
The Exchange's Top Tip:
If you are spending your day at the pool with kiddos, definitely grab a kids meal from the outdoor quick service (Hurricane Hanna's). The meal comes with a shovel and bucket for some fun in the sand. Also, don't forget to hit up the Beaches & Cream ice cream window to cool off on those hot days!
Available Resort Dining:
Cape May Cafe (Character and Table Service Dining); The Yachtsman Steakhouse (Table Service Dining - 2 credits); Beaches & Cream Soda Shop (Table Service Dining and Snacks at the window); The Market at Ale & Compass (Quick Service Dining); Beach Club Marketplace (Quick Service Dining); Hurricane Hanna's Waterside Bar & Grill (Pool Bar and Quick Service Dining); Crew's Cup Lounge (Bar and Entree Menu but no dining plan available); Martha's Vineyard (Bar and Small Plates Menu, but no dining plan available); and Ale & Compass Lounge (Bar and Small Plates Menu, but no dining plan available).

Overall thoughts:
We love the Beach Club resort for so many reasons; between having a boat for Epcot and Hollywood Studios, to a main pool area that truly feels like a "beach club". Because the Beach Club resort is also connected to the Yacht Club resort, there is also a salon and spa nearby for some extra pampering. This particular resort really is a great choice for just about anyone.
