Disney Yacht Club review

Disney Yacht Club

My review of the Disney Yacht Club Resort. 
We had a very nice stay here. Room has plenty of space but we didn’t actually hang out in the room much. 
This is considered an EPCOT, deluxe Resort. 
We stayed in the standard room. I had no need for a view of anything.  I would have considered another room type if making more use of Resort itself. 
Two queens and a sleeper sofa, full size. 

Best features of this resort;
Close proximity to not one but two parks. Walking distance to EPCOT. Can walk to Hollywood Studios but I get enough walking in for a day that I just don’t feel need for that. They have access to boat transportation to each of the before mentioned parks too. The boats that provide the transportation here are the Motor Cruisers which allow strollers/wheelchairs etc to be rolled on. 

They have bus transportation to magic kingdom and animal kingdom. The bus does also stop at Beach club and Swan & Dolphin resorts. 
You get one of the BEST pools staying here. Seriously, the pool here to me is the best. Pretty large. It’s shared with beach club but I’ve never seen it crowded. 
You have direct access to the boardwalk which has a great night life. 
Only negative is the slide entrance is across the walk and if you are a paranoid parent like me, it will be a lot of walking back/forth for this. 

Room came with keurig coffeemaker. Has plenty of drawers, closet space, mini fridge and ironing board. 
Beds were raised which allowed luggage space underneath. Many many USB ports for devices as well as outlets. 

Staff was fine. Resort fine. Atmosphere was rather stale. Boardwalk Inn was more enjoyable to me as far as comfort. I would still stay at Yacht over Boardwalk for the pool. 

I find it best to book a deluxe as far in advance as possible to lock in a room rate. If it can be rolled into a promotional rate released than bonus otherwise this is second best rate you will get. The rates change and increase through year. 

The new hardwood floors have mixed reviews. Many complaint about the dirt sticking to feet when getting in bed. I think it may be nice if there were rugs for this of maybe could use extra towels. 

Since the beds do sit higher, may consider requesting bed rails for the smaller kids that could roll off bed.
I do love how you can store items under the bed though to free up floor space. Closets are pretty nice size to also hold luggage. 

 Staying at a resort that sits on the Boardwalk just gives the absolute best views. The mornings are so pretty especially when fog is there. Just very peaceful. The boardwalk activities provides lots of entertainment opportunities. 

 Great selection of restaurants as well that are just easy to get to between resorts, The Boardwalk and the the two close parks.

The Disney Cruise Lines offer Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Makeover with more options than you could ever get at the parks!!!! (Fantasy & Dream boats) You can get First Mate, Pirate, Mermaid, Princess and even a star Wars makeover (depending on the sailing you book under) We did the standard Princess Makeover although we have done Pirates in the past (for son and daughter) It is always a fantastic experience! The children feel so special with all the extra attention with makeover to boot! How do you not love that?! They do start around $19.00 for boys and $55.00 starting rate for girls. They can definitely escalate depending on the amazing options you could add to it from $100, $200 and even $750.00 (Yes, You read that correctly~$750.00) Of course booking for this opens when your cruise registration opens. You must be paid in full and the opening registration depends on If you are a new cruiser or the Castaway Club level you are. Previous sailings I have always booked arou

virtual Run Disney review from Dealing with Disney

I decided to finally see what the virtual Disney Runs were all about. A friend of mine told me she signed up. She wanted to keep her momentum going which inspired me to look into as well. I have learned to love the Run Disney events. It appears they offer seasonal Virtual events options from the Run Disney website. (see link HERE ) There were 3 races available to choose from or a full circuit registration containing all 3 races. This came with a bonus medal as well.  Each event was $45.00 and the combined package was $145.00. This was more $$ obviously but ok, I can see they have added in the cost of the extra medal you earn. What does this get me or should I say, what do I get out of this event? I can see the Disney love of just doing it for Disney,  doing it for the medal or doing it to keep momentum of working towards goals. All options seemed very reasonable to me and got me excited, therefore I signed up for the gauntlet. My friend pointed out her whole family

Walt Disney World Halloween 2020 re-opening experiences by Dealing with Disney

My review from my latest Disney world experience.   This trip was definitely not one of my favorites! Before you read all my cons.. .Keep  in mind, I still enjoyed this trip.  The main point of this is to have proper expectation for your needs/stay. If you go into a park without proper expectation, it can really throw your trip OFF!  We had some great moments. We had some rest spots - drinks - treats which were nice.   One amazing PLUS: The security checks are a breeze now! No lie.. their big concern are umbrellas and water bottles (metal ones) tend to set off the machines. They ask for those to be pulled out of back packs but all other items you can walk through with!  I loved still having the time to appreciate the little things in the park that we take for granted. The craftsmanship in all the art around the park/architecture , the plant life every where!   I will be honest, part of the reason was due to my own family! Hey, I always like to keep It real-in perspective we shall say.
