We had many wonderful experiences during our week at the Beach Club…. and some not so magical moments. First the not so magical moments: My luggage was delivered to the wrong room, and it sat there for a while. I had to make multiple phone calls about it before it was delivered to our room. I was kind of bummed of the loss of magic here. Another not so magical moment was when on our first night there, the fire alarm went off at midnight! Fortunately, there was no real emergency, but also no communication from the hotel staff about what was going on. It would have been nice to know why this happened.
There are many wonderful things we loved about the Beach Club! For starters, the pool, it is awesome! It is huge! It has so many parts, you can loose people quickly here. The kids loved it, and well, so did I. The water slide, big and little, where a ginormous hit. The big slide was our parties favorite, even my 4 year old nephew enjoyed it. It has some twists and turns and a couple surprises, we had a lot of laughs on it.
We stayed here in August, and as you can imagine, it is hot in Florida in the summer. I would go to Disney any day, any week, and month of the year! So the heat did not scare me. We had plenty of water and took plenty of breaks, but more on that later. I was thinking the pool would be over crowded with everyone trying to cool off on a hot afternoon, and because the Beach Club shares amenities with the Yacht Club. But because this pool is so big and, has so many areas, I never felt it was over whelming with swimmers. The life guards seem to work very hard. They are never slacking off and always watching the water. As a mother this made me feel more comforting with such a large pool and large amount of people. We even found chairs every time we where at the pool
One of the best parts of staying at the Beach Club, is the proximity to Epcot. If you have a park hopper you can just stroll on over every night. Which is what we did, and loved.
This is a great spot to stay with your family. The pool is absolutely fantastic. I also loved the location, and ease of getting to Epcot. It was also a very nice boat ride to Hollywood Studios. I however, have to caution anyone saving their pennies, and dollars to stay here. It is not a 5 star resort by any means. The service was average, the cleanliness was average too. This was not what one would expect when paying $400+ a night. If your budget allows, then go for it. You can not get any closer to Epcot, or a better pool for that matter. If you are pinching pennies to stay at a real nice place, this isn't it. Sure the pool and location are awesome, but you have to ask your self what your priorities are. That isn't to stay I wouldn't stay here again if the opportunity arose, but I wouldn't go broke to do so. My favorite park is Epcot, and I really enjoyed the stroll every night to have dinner and watch the fire works. It was also sweet to be able to walk back after and not to have to fight the crowds on the buses.
Like I might have said before I love Disney, and would go anytime. I would definitely stay at the Beach Club again. Even with the few negatives you can not beat the location! :)
