Disney's Yacht Club Resort | Review
Here's the link to my Review on Disney’s Beach Club Resort: ruclips.net/video/IkrQYNYZ0gU/видео.htmlsi=B1tB8K__QO1Y_xty
In this video, I cover my thoughts regarding my stay at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, which is located right by Epcot and near Disney’s Hollywood Studios of the Walt Disney World Resort. It was more fun due to it being my birthday, but I just loved staying here and filming this property mostly right before sunset was such a vibe. But this whole resort is so well decorated scenery wise and architecture wise. The lobby is grand and the rooms were spectacular, especially my view.

In this video, I cover my thoughts regarding my stay at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, located in the Magic Kingdom area of the Walt Disney World property. This is definitely one of a kind thanks to the Monorail going inside the hotel and seeing it pass by inside. But it’s also just overall a really nice property, especially because of the inward atrium structure. And I know I might have said so...

I have always struggled and whined about how I don't like the shakiness in the footage I have for the videos I make, more specially the hotel reviews.

Looking back at this, the volume settings for the voiceover was so bad for this. I apologize you all had to listen to that for this video, as if my voice wasn't already unbearable to listen to lol 😂
My family stays there mostly as we have DVC
I think the Yacht Club is the most understated of all the other deluxe resorts. Simple elegance is how I would probably describe it. I do enjoy your videos. It would be great to get your review of some of their dining options in the future. It should be noted that you can't get a bus from the Yacht Club to Epcot or Hollywood Studios. You have to walk, take the boat, or use the Skyliner to get to them.
Dude it’s “AD-Mirul” not “Ad -mirel”
I would like to add, depending on where you stay at the villas you can go out your window and see the fireworks at Epcot. It’s not the best view, but I was able to see a little bit of fireworks here and there please note you can’t hear them outside.
I've been binge watching all your Disney Resort videos. You sure know how to entertain! The humor, the editing, and the in-depth reviews. Top quality content! congrats.
I did not like it there
Happy Birthday to SWAN HOTEL if King Louis II of Bavaria The SWAN KING were alive today, he would've love the Swan Hotel and stay at the Hotel Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas Blessings and HUGS MARANATHA! 👑💜🔯🎅
first time seeing your videos, very well made! Informative with some light humour and with some of your personality added. Keep it up 🎉
yoooo its such a beautiful place!
Hey, great review! Boardwalk Villas is also one of my home resorts, and I totally agree with you. The old-world charm is just unbeatable. I do miss the old 'Penny Wise' pool design too; the new one seems a bit too generic, probably because the original design scared too many people. I noticed the room renovations were just completed. While some DVC members feel the new decor doesn't match the hotel's original theming as well as the old decor did, I think it's part of a trend where Disney hotels' room refurbishments are getting a bit simplified. Despite these changes, I still love Boardwalk Villas and plan to keep visiting until our contract expires. For those looking to book the 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom villas with cash, you’ll probably need to use a third party like DVC Rental Store since they're usually only available to rent using points. Thanks for sharing this review! It was really helpful. Looking forward to more content from you!
Thanks for this informative review. Would you recommend staying at the Swan without a car? Would the amount of walking required just to get to attractions be very taxing for the average adult? Thanks!
@Gregory721 I wouldn't say the walk distance to Epcot isn't much, as it's about the same as walking from one end of the park to another, if not less. Now as for a car, it depends on what your plans are for your vacation, but to simply answer, if you are staying one night, then it's not a big deal, but if you are staying multiple nights, then you might want to consider other means of getting to the hotel.
You can buy Dolewhip at Old Key West Resort as well
@@philcramer4317 interesting! I remember watching a video on this resort years ago saying that it's the only place you can buy it outside Adventureland, and it was made by Disney. I guess it's outdated now, I apologize if that's inaccurate. Didn't mean to mislead people
No worries, love your videos
Nice review. I hope you consider offering in future reviews a specific critique regarding noise levels inside the hotel rooms. Did you have any problems with noise from the hallways or surrounding (including above) rooms? At the end of the day, forget all the amenities, theming and restaurants; if the room can't provide for a quiet stay and a good night sleep, it's not worth it. I know you say that you didn't have issues, but incorporating the above mentioned would really make these reviews even more helpful. if you did mention what I wrote about and I somehow missed it, please accept my apologies.
@georgeg.7124 I experienced no problems with noise from the hallways or anything above my room. Thank you for your insight!
You have by far the best b roll footage of the disney resorts and it's greatly appreciated. I feel like I can only get a good grasp on what the resorts look like through your videos in particular
@sundried_grapes thank you very much for the compliment on the videography I do for the reviews. Unfortunately though, every review I made before the review on Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort are shaky, since I didn't have the stabilizer that I have now to make the footage smooth, so I apologize for that if you want to check out any of the earlier reviews
Ayy congrats on the rebrand! Here's to a great future for your channel!
Excellent review! Great script, and your camera work is terrific. I also agree with your conclusions. If you're going to WDW (aside from conventions) the themed resorts really set the tone for the vacation. Swan/Dolphin just don't have that. But they are very nice/ luxurious resorts with great architecture. Just watch out for that separate resort fee and the expensive parking (which is free at Disney resorts).
Just to provide a little more history. In the early 1980s, Disney partnered with developer Tishman to build hotels near Walt Disney World to share costs and risks. By the mid-1980s, Disney's financial situation improved, and CEO Michael Eisner wanted to compete with other convention hotels, leading Tishman to file a lawsuit fearing breach of their exclusivity deal. The dispute was settled in 1988, resulting in a joint venture to build two large hotels, including the Dolphin Resort, with Disney gaining design control and revenue share, and Tishman securing a 99-year lease on a prime location near Epcot.
I did not know that actually, very interesting to learn!
You should compare the final score to the scores of other disney hotels
@Fishman04 once I check off all the resorts at Disney, will do!
Loved this review! Great camera shots too
This is either a 20 year old video or your camera is appalling
Update: all my favorite videos that are not hotel reviews are officially deleted from this channel and now uploaded on my second channel. From now on, this channel is all about the hotel reviews. Stayed tuned for the next one, it will be coming out soon!
I stayed up Pop century in 2022 I had a preferred room and I really liked it 2024 I stayed at all star movies and I like them both and I'll come back
Not every shot needs to have panning. There is way too much motion going on; it's legitimately difficult to watch. If you have some kind of crippling panning addiction, at least pan more slowly to reduce the extreme disorientation. Other than that, it's a nice video.
@SPCH-b6r thank you for the feedback. Not sure if the panning shots will be too fast for my next two reviews as they are already filmed, but I will keep that in mind next time I stay at a property and film it.
I agree, especially when the shots go from pan-left to a pan-right, then left, then right. Yikes. Difficult to watch.
Do what you feel like you need to do. Keep up the good work.
Great review. Thanks.
Same
I don't know why, but this popped into my algorithm
I'm surprised your reviews don't get more views. I've seen several disney review content channels, and you are doing an excellent job. It is especially good that you think out your review and seem to almost script it. Much more coherent, to-the-point, and interesting than a lot of content our there. keep it up!
@johncordani3527 I script all of my videos actually for the reviews, since I'm not one to just speak from the top of my head, but thank you for the compliment! I'm not really upset that I don't get more views since I think that keeps me humble and I don't like to envy others and I like to just trust the process. There are also things in life that I value more than success on RUclips now (such as love and family), so that's also another thing. I'm still gonna strive for my goals, but I'm trying to maintain a life outlook that will benefit me spiritually. Once again, thank you for the comment!
It's great to see more in-depth information about the Universal Orlando hotel. As someone who spends more time at Disney, it's refreshing to learn about the details of Universal's offerings. How would you compare the experience of staying at a non-Universal hotel versus one of their entry-level on-property hotels? In your opinion, is staying on property worth the extra expense in this scenario?
@Arthur2990 the extra cost is worth it depending on how many people, how long you are staying, and what time of the year, assuming it's at a signature collection hotel. I haven't stayed at any of their entry level hotels yet, but I would guess it's more in tune with the overall experience with Universal, especially with its perks.
Cockroach gross !!
Yeah, it was not ideal to say the least. At least Disney made it up for me
I’m never shocked to see a bug in any resort in Florida.
Great vid cuz this is home resort haven’t stayed at Dvc part yet
The Beach Club Resort is incredibly popular among visitors. Nestled along the picturesque bay and in close proximity to the world-renowned Epcot, it offers an unparalleled experience for many. This location is particularly appealing to those who have a penchant for food and wine, as it offers a rich culinary journey. Additionally, its position near the lake ensures that guests have a diverse range of dining options to choose from, making their stay even more enjoyable.
I’d do the yacht club next if I were you
Thanks for another entertaining and informative review. Did you end up with a reference towards beach club or boardwalk in the end? Both seem great options in terms of location and theming. Did you think they were pretty similar?
They were both pretty similar, but I prefer the BoardWalk because I think it's nicer and it's more nostalgic for me
@@hotelandresortreviews thanks. But then you didn’t go to the pool at beach club. One thing that struck me was the lack of decent quick service choices at both in comparison to other Disney resorts. Are they any better now?
@richardbrice9542 I'm not very knowledgeable about the choices in dining, so I can't really say much but it seems it's pretty average in comparison. I also don't swim very much anymore. Pretty sure I should more often though 😅
It’s our favourite Disney resort because of the sheer amount of space! The rooms are unmatched for square footage and to me that’s luxury. Plus it’s a very quiet chilled place. I think they could build a second hospitality area with another bar and another dining option but I doubt they would. Nice review
This one is one of my favorites! Great review!
@Caleb Kent of he resorts you have left to visit which one are you looking forward to the most?
@Arthur2990 probably the Riveria since it has Skyliner access and it's the latest hotel built currently. Ik some people have said it's mediocre for what it costs, but it still looks nice to me
Thanks for another informative and entertaining review, and thanks for the mention of my question re:wilderness lodge comparison. I guess, like you said, it comes down to the question of theming preferences and sentimentality. Having been to both Yosemite and an African safari, the only thing I’d say is the scale of the AKL is totally out of proportion to anything I saw on my trip, whereas the wilderness lodge does have the look of what I saw around Yosemite both in style and scale. Therefore the latter is always going to feel that little bit more authentic. But I can see how you could still get easily lost in the attention to detail of the immersive theming of either. As a European my preference would probably be the wilderness lodge, as going to America for an American theme feels right somehow. Plus I like the lakeside look of wilderness lodge. Pools and dining look great at both by the way!
Another thing that might sway one toward wilderness lodge or AKL is simply location. Do you prefer to spend more time at MK or at DAK. We have stayed at both WL(CCV) and AKL(Jambo and Kidani). We really like AKV we prefer staying at CCV simply because its closer to MK and like the dining options more.
@@Arthur2990 which of the dining options at WL would you recommend in particular?
@@richardbrice9542 You can't beat the Bison Burger at Geyser Point Bar & Grill. Plus its really nice to be out by the water. For and upscale unique character dining experience you can't beat Story Book Dining at Artist Point.
I know there tends to be a bit of negativity towards applying newer IP themes to older aspects of WDW or something. But I actually think applying “The Incredibles” to the Contemporary Hotel is clever and fitting. The thing is … The Contemporary was actually contemporary when it opened … in 1971. It’s funny; but it kinda seems like no one thought about how the property might be seen when it was 50+ years old. Did they just assume architecture and interior design would just stay fixed forever or something? Anyway the architecture reflects the end of mid-century modern era. The original interior design … maybe a fusion of mid-century modern and the Bohemian “granola” back to nature vibe (with the darker “earth” tones) that the 1970s was moving towards at the time. So how does The Contemporary remain contemporary in the 21st century and beyond particularly when its architecture so specifically reflects a specific time period? Fortunately, Disney had an IP that reflected that late 1960s mid-century modern vibe … or a retro-Contemporary vibe! Brilliant! All they had to do was have the interior design better fit lat mid-century modernism and theme it to “The Incredibles!” And then, as officially a “The Incredibles” hotel, The Contemporary Hotel can stay “contemporary” forever because it is contemporary in “The Incredibles” universe!
This resort is so expensive
@@WDWCentral despite my thoughts on how it's slightly cheaper when compared to the other deluxe resorts, I agree. It is indeed still expensive.
The great thing about WDW hotels is that there is such a variety of them. So, if people are looking for more of an adult experience, they can stay at the Contemporary. If they want something 'more Disney,' they can stay at AoA or All Star Movies. I love all of the Mary Blair artwork in the hotels. Did you find the three-legged goat? Also, Caleb, which is the first DVC resort you want to stay at?
@Arthur2990 I didn't know there was a three legged goat, but it's cool they have that. Also to answer your other question, I've done a review on Disney's Old Key West Resort, which is a DVC resort. But as far as which one I want to stay at next if I could, it would be the Riveria so I can check that off my list and it has skyliner access. But as far as which one I'd absolutely would love to stay at right now the most, it would be the Bungalows at the Polynesian.
@@hotelandresortreviews I think your resort videos are your best videos you have put out.
This is a superb video! Thanks for sharing!
Overrated, but great video tho! Pro tip as a RUclipsr you can request access to Google Earth Studio for animations
Thanks for the comment and tip! Will look into it.
Pop is my favorite! Have stayed many times. I think it IS magical!
6:30 I didn't know they still ran the OG bus wrap! I haven't seen one of those in a minute!
Yeah, they're starting to change them all now.
I am going to old key west next week and doing some research on RUclips today . I have watched 5 videos about it and your review is by far the best. I enjoyed watching this video because of your unique and funny style of presentation, yet very informative and detailed. Thanks.
what a gorgeous resort! Great review, loving the camera work too
Great video. Looks like the perfect hotel (except for the key readers). Did your score of 94/100 put it at the top of your list so far?
Thank you for the comment! And to answer your question, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney's Wilderness Lodge currently hold the top of my list so far at scores of 95/100. Edit: I accidentally put Disney's BoardWalk Inn instead of Disney's Wilderness Lodge. Fixed it now tho
All the Wilderness Cabins are being taken out and replaced with the new DVC Cabins.
Thanks for pointing that out! It would make more sense if they made that more obvious on the website tho :/
