Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

The Yacht Club has an atmosphere loaded with the posh elegance found in a turn-of-the-20th-century New England yacht club (as imagined by Disney). It is definitely more upscale than its sister resort, the Beach Club , as the rooms, views, service, and atmosphere (nautically themed, of course) are a step or so better. Here you'll find fine leather furnishings, antique glass chandeliers, and brass accents adorning the lobby. It's geared more toward adults and families with older children, though young kids are certainly catered to (this is Disney, after all). The resort shares a 25-acre lake, a first-class swimming pool, and magnificent landscaping with the Beach Club, including a lighthouse to help you find your way back from the parks. Rooms have beds for up to five and most have balconies; views run from asphalt to Crescent Lake and the gardens; you would, however, have to be a contortionist to see the lake from some of the \"water-view\" rooms, so if this is a must, make sure that you request one with a direct view (as a bonus, you'll see Epcot in the distance). Epcot is a 10- to 15-minute walk from the front door, but save your energy for the parks and use the Disney ferry.
