Disney's Yacht Club Resort -- 630 rooms and suites in oyster-gray clapboard buildings set around 25-acre
Crescent Lake feature hardwood floors and rich millwork in a nautical theme reminiscent of New England seashore hotels
of the 1880s. All rooms feature French doors that open onto porches or balconies.
The grand, turn-of-the-century summer homes of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are recalled in Disney's Yacht Club Resort, a deluxe-category hotel at Walt Disney World Resort. Guests can walk or go by tram from the resort to Epcot, or travel by water taxi to the Disney-MGM Studios. The nautical theme carries through in the restaurants -- the Yacht Club Galley, the Yachtsman's Steakhouse and the rustic Crew's Cup Lounge. An expansive croquet lawn and marina lighthouse add to the resort's ambience.
The Yacht Club is the perfect complement to its neighbor, Disney's Beach Club Resort.
