I have always felt like this hotel is the perfect balance of elegant and charming for adults, with also being whimsical and relaxing for both adults and kids. The pool is perfect for everyone in the family as well. The disney magic thrown in just makes it perfect overall!
Hi Alex. We just got back from WDW and stayed at the Beach Club for our last 2 nights on property and it really feels like coming home for us. I just love this resort so much. It's perfectly situated being so close to Epcot and the Skyliner. Best pool on property too!
Your videos are very good quality! And your commentary is simple and refreshing without over doing it!
Thanks so much @kellya9527! I try to keep the chatter down to a minimum!
Can’t wait to go back ❤️
Me too! I miss it so much!!!
Thank you for taking the time to showcase this beautiful resort. I'm sold!
Thank you so much Eyes got it! It was my pleasure! 😁
Thank you. I @ my daughter @ grandchildren we will be there in this August can't wait
How wonderful! I hope the weather is good to you. Just remember to bring your hand-held fans!!
Well done! I really enjoyed this - I appreciate the comprehensive overview within about 15 minutes - all the important areas were covered. Thank-you.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I really glad you enjoyed it. Makes it all worthwhile! :)
This is exactly the kind of tour I needed! I've only stayed at the Value or Moderate resorts, and this year, for my bday, I was thinking of going a little bigger. I have always been curious about this resort, and would love to be able to walk into Epcot. Thanks for your honesty about the Cape May, haha, I'm sure a breakfast snack from the Market would be better for the price. I was also looking into the DVC Rental (thru that Dave site), and this is my top pick - think you've helped convince me to go 😄
I do love this resort. It's so comfy and homey feeling. It's been 18 years that we've owned our DVC timeshare there and my appreciation for it just grows and grows. I hope you have a wonderful trip and enjoy the luxury of being so close to the UK and France!! :)
Me too!! I always stay at POP bc I never stay in the room and its really nice there. But im tired of being far from the parks and im not feeling the skyliner. Delux guests have way more convenience esp. the food options. I don't like the cafeteria at POP AT ALL. My lil son wouldn't eat ANYTHING but pancakes n eggs there 🙄
@@netty1221 Being close to a park is such a wonderful luxury. I guess there is a reason they cost so much more!
Best video of Beach Club I have seen! Thank you! Getting hyped to head there next week!!
Thanks so much Todd! I hope you enjoy your stay. And I hope the weather is good too. We were just there in May and they were having a heat wave. Be sure to wake up at 7am to get your Cosmic Rewind Individual Lighting Lane! It's amazing! :)
I absolutely love all of your videos.
Awww! Thank you so much Christian! It makes it all worthwhile to hear you say that. :)
so glad I watched this video! i just became a DVC owner last year. this coming May we are going to be staying at the Beach Club. Thanks for all the info. Can't wait
Congratulations!! DVC ownership is so wonderful in my opinion. I hope you enjoy your stay and have a fantastic vacation. Thanks so much Leon.
My 1st ever waitlist just came through for here in Oct! I am so excited and thank you for the lovely tour!
Wow! You used the waitlist and it actually worked? I've NEVER had it work for me. That's fantastic. I'm planning my next WDW trip and staying here again. I just love it so much. Hope you have a wonderful vacation!!
@@TheMouseScout I was surprised it came through cause it's the weekend of Halloween, lol. My home is Saratoga and I do love it. But I want to try and stay at all of them!
@@lizesty5 I know! I've been staying at various hotels around WDW and with one exception, I love them all. I didn't like BLT. :(
Thank you for making this video. I’m currently booked at that location that resort this coming December Christmas through the new year we are very excited to stay at this resort. And looking forward to our first trip to Disney as a family
How exciting! Congrats on the family. I hope you enjoy staying at this resort as much as I always do. Thanks for watching!
What is so excited to get out of Minnesota in the winter :-) and I’m more excited to be to Disney to see a decorated for Christmas
@@JasonSetley Oh yes! Disney decor is so beautiful!
Enjoyed the video, we are currently booked from Jan 29th -Feb 6th then head over to your new Disney Wish cruise ship for our family's wedding on board! this is I and my husbands first trip to Disney and we are really excited!! Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much Jannean! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Let me know how you liked the resort AND the Wish! That sounds like so much fun to go to a wedding on the cruise ship. Hope it’s the best every trip!!! I’m dying to go on the Wish!!
🎉
Hi Icee cream!
Hopefully someday I can get to Disney World.
I hope you do Steven. It's my favorite place in the world! Pun intended. :)
I really enjoyed your video.
My family will be staying at the Beach Club this fall for first time.
Countdown is on!! I love planning our trips and the most important step is knowing where you're going to be staying so you can plan your days and meals around that. You've got so many great options for restaurants in the area around the Beach Club. I hope you have a wonderful time and let me know if you have any questions. :)
@@TheMouseScout
I have a family of 6 adults.
Currently booking 2 rooms. Ouch !
Have you had any experience with renting points from David’s DVC rental ?
@@MrJavaman4 Hi Mr Javaman4. I've rented before but only thru MouseOwners.com. I have rented twice for Grand Californian and had very positive experiences. It's definitely an exercise in trust, but going thru reputable websites like MouseOwners or David's DVC Rentals is advisable. I remember they give references and I checked them by sending emails to the references provided and received responses in a couple of days. This helped me feel a little more comfortable with the transaction. When we arrived at the resort the reservation was in my name and it went very smoothly. It's a great way to save money and enjoy the amenities available at a DVC villa. If you go forward, be sure to let me know. I'm curious about someone else's experience! Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks! Ked
I have always wanted to stay at the Beach Club. Our family has only stayed at the Poly. We do have a reservation at the Cape May Minnie character breakfast coming up soon, and daughter and her husband want to explore the Beach Club briefly while we are there. SIL says they are considering a Disney stay in the future when our granddaughter is older. I was surprised at the negative comment about the Cape May breakfast. Other reviews we have watched give it a positive grade. In a couple months I guess we'll see for ourselves.
Hi again Bryan! Yes, please let us all know what you think of Cape May Cafe after your trip. I do wish I had enjoyed it more since BC is our home DVC resort and it is so convenient. However, I admit I'm a bit pickey (...understatement!), and I welcome anyone else's opinion. Because I'm not always right (just don't tell my family that!). Thanks so much for posting!
@@TheMouseScout Last week, we ate at the Minnie Character Breakfast at the Beach Club Cape May restaurant. Here is our assessment/review;
The food was good and good selection. Our son-in-law paid for the meal; he said it was pricey for a breakfast buffet; BUT, the atmosphere, service, entertainment by the waiter, and the experience of the characters for our granddaughter made it worth it. I would agree with SIL on these points. The check in at the guard gate was quick and smooth. We just showed the printed email of our reservation. The check-in at the restaurant was quick and easy.
After eating, we did stroll the grounds of the Beach Club. Our daughter and SIL are considering a Disney Vacation next year. This trip was primarily at Universal with a Disney breakfast and visit at Disney Springs mixed in. Since I am an 'old hand' at Disney with over 100 visits (and my brother used to work there), I was giving the kids a brief tour and explanation of various points of interest.
@@bryansipes3601 That's fantastic Bryan! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I'm so glad it went well. :)
So basically Beaches n Cream is Disneys one diner. 😂 I cant wait to stay here!!
Well, off the top of my head, there's also 50's Prime Time Cafe at the studios. At least that feels like a diner! Thanks for the comment!
@@TheMouseScout oh yeah ur right! But the B&C reminds me of the diners in NY I've been to and I love em!! Classic burgers, breakfast, dessert! 🍨 And the booths lolll! I'll always pick a nice diner even over a fancy restraunt lmaooo
@@netty1221 Sometimes its nice to just have a burger and fries after eating at all the fancy restaurants. Back to the basics!
@@TheMouseScout to tell the truth im more into embiance and nostalgia! It brings back memories and is exciting. The food is just a plus! U ever ate at Trex Cafe? The food was great but I was more excited abt the embiance! And I just LOVE DINERS! 😂 #GOODTIMES
I'm so glad I found you! I'm staying with my grown up daughter in September! We've been to WDW twice before 1999 and 2006 and stayed at All star Movies and Sports. We are super excited to stay here. Which room should I request with a balcony with chairs to sit on? TIA
Yes, a balcony room would be wonderful. If it's looking at the trees, it would be peaceful, if it's looking at the lake, it would be interesting and beautiful. We just stayed at Beach Club again in May and it was soooo nice. It's really like my second home, I just love it! Being so close to Epcot and the Skyliner is so convenient. I hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful trip!
I am planning my 1st trip! Really excited about the Boardwalk Inn, any thoughts?
How exciting! You'll enjoy being so close to World Showcase at Epcot. Be sure to make your dining reservations 60 days in advance. You can do up to 10 days into the booking window/your trip, which is nice. Flying Fish restaurant has reopened which has one of my favorite dishes on property, the potato-wrapped red snapper. It's pricey, but delicious. Also just had amazing meals at the new La Creperie and Chefs de France. Since you're staying at a Deluxe resort, be sure to check when the extended evening theme park hours are at Epcot. They're usually on Mondays. We just did this and were able to ride all the big rides in two hours. They're from 9pm to 11pm. disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/extended-evening/ I hope you have a wonderful trip!! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
Great review! Which resort do you like best polynesian or beach club.. we are deciding between these two with kids!
And also which do you prefer the studio deluxe villa or the regular resort room? Thank you
These are two amazing choices! I've actually never stayed at the Polynesian, but I'm going to be staying there in May. Why Beach Club is so great is it's proximity to Epcot's World Showcase and all their restaurants, as well as the restaurants at Boardwalk and Yacht Club. Also it has the most amazing pool at WDW. If you're going to be spending most of your time at the Magic Kingdom, then the Polynesian is great choice because you can quickly get there by monorail. Also because of the monorail, you have access to all the restaurants at Grand Floridian and Contemporary too. My preference is the Beach Club because Epcot is my favorite park and it's the one I spend the most time at.
I also prefer the DVC villas because you get a microwave. Which is nice to reheat any leftovers you might have. Also you can get two queen beds at the Beach Club villas instead of a queen bed and a pull-out like they have at most other DVC resorts. So, if a kitchenette is not important, then you can get a regular hotel room with 2 queens.
So, in summary, if you want to spend the most time at Magic Kingdom, then Polynesian DVC villa is a great choice because I think they just put in murphy beds in the studio villas, so that it 2 queen beds and the kitchenette. If you want to spend more time at Epcot, then Beach Club studio Villa.
Clear as mud? Either choice will be amazing and I hope you have a fantastic vacation. You can always reach out to me if you have more questions. Thanks so much! Ked
Hey E H
I've not stayed at any of these resorts yet, but I've been doing lots of research and viewing (many) vids on youtube ... from what I can tell, the DVC rooms at Beach Club have hardly any decor or theme, and are far from the pool area in its own building - but can be cheaper (thru the DVC Renting sites) than a normal hotel room there. So you get all the proximity to Epcot, but it's one of the most generic rooms I've ever seen on Disney property. I actually ended up not using the DVC rental for that reason... We are only doing one day in Epcot, and will be spending the rest of the time at the hotel/pool for the other day. If you're going to spend your vacation at the parks and not in the hotel, then a DVC room is a good choice - all the perks without the flair. But if you know you'll be spending time at the hotel itself, then maybe paying a little more is worth it, IMO. I'd suggest finding vids like these to get a good idea of the layouts... another RUclipsr who loves the Beach Club resort is "Bookish Princess", she is as fun to watch as Ked.
I've also been looking into the Poly's DVC rooms, and those look much better... again, lots of vids for research. And like Ked says, you have the perks of Monorail transport to the other hotels - which also gets you to Epcot with the TTA transfer. Poly also has a neat pool, if that's something you'll use - as well as awesome food, quick and table service... not to mention the Dole Whip walk-up! The official WDW site has info, but I like to watch these vids to get honest opinions and POV's from normal (unpaid) people for each resort and room options.
And did you know that you can even split your WDW hotel nights? I've heard that if you're staying on property but want to do two different hotels, your bags will be sent to the other hotel for you! Then you can experience more than one place! It might sound daunting, but it's an option if you really can't decide 😁 Good luck!
What was not great about Cape May? All the reviews I have seems rank it right under Topolinos.
Well, first of all, I’m annoyingly picky. I know that. For me, breakfast was just mass produced food that I didn’t enjoy. It was flavorless. Eggs that are cold before you can eat them, rubbery bacon, mundane waffles. I would rather eat breakfast at Steakhouse 71 where I can get the most amazing grits and crab eggs Benedict for about the same amount of money. For dinner, Cape May is great if you enjoy crab legs. But of course, it’s very expensive at $46 for the buffet and add $29 for the crab legs totaling $75. But because I’m the only one who eats shellfish, I can’t get my family to go. 😒 So, because there are so many other places I would rather eat (like Boathouse or Steakhouse 71), Cape May is down on my list. Hope this answers your question. Thanks @meganfree9608!
I have wanted to stay at this resort, but I always worried it didn't feel " Disney "
I am looking into booking a villa here or at the boardwalk.
Does it still feel like Disney or have the Disney vibe while staying there? I don't want to just feel like I am in a nice hotel. Thanks
To me it feels like Disney. Being so close to Epcot, the complete immersion into the theming, the beautiful lake and other hotels near by. It isn't like one of the All Stars with characters everywhere, but it is like stepping back to an early 20th century seaside resort. To me, only Disney can provide such total devotion to making a place feel like you've traveled back in time. I love it. It's definitely in my top 3 hotels (others are Grand Floridian and Riviera Resort). Can't hurt to try it at least once to see if it works for you. Above all else, being steps away from Epcot's International Gateway and a short Skyway ride to the Studios is the best! Hope this helps. :)
What does home resort mean
When you buy Disney Vacation Club points, you buy points at a specific resort. This is where you have title, pay your dues towards, and have priority when booking. Your DVC points can be used at any resort (and other ways too), but you can book 11 months out at your home resort, but only 7 months at all other DVC resorts. Hope this explains a little better. :)
Any info regarding club level service would be greatly appreciated!
We always stay club level at Beach Club. Obviously, we enjoy it but it may or may not be for everyone. I cannot speak to how it is now as we have not traveled back since Covid started. Pre-Covid, when we had the dining plan, we loved using the club level for our breakfast - never wasted a credit on breakfasts! We also had drinks before dinner in the club so we did not have to pay for the at dinner. The food offerings are a great supplement to your dining, however, I have no idea how some people actually use it FOR their dining. It is mostly finger foods, not full meals/buffets. The other thing that is important to us is a full balcony with seating. If you look at the BC, most rooms do not have a balcony except for a very small one that fits one person and no seating. We enjoy waking up and sitting outside while our family members take turns getting ready. The Club Level has full balconies (I think) but we always request one just to be sure. We also stay in the standard club level and have never had a bad view. I am looking forward to going back next year. We decided to wait because we do spend a great deal of money on our Disney trips and I have been waiting for all the Covid stuff (masks) to work their way out and for all the new systems (Genie) to be more well oiled and kinks flushed out.
Thanks for posting this. It's great information. I've usually don't stay at club levels myself because of the cost, but your reasons are really sound because breakfasts each morning can really add up, drinks too. I'll have to consider it for future trips. Hope you can return to WDW soon!
@@jenniferwahl9803 thanks for this info! We are the same always stay at club level when we travel makes life easier. Your info made such a difference that actually went forward and booked our vacation!
Yay!!! I hope you really enjoy your stay. :)
@@Kzvuyp I'm so pleased. :)
Pool sucks, lacks seating, and lacks shade.
You know, I've never layed by the pool during the day, so I didn't note the lack of umbrellas. Thanks for letting us know Shane!
