Magical Mondays: Disney Resort Review

Magical Mondays

Being an avid Disney vacationer, a former Disney College Program Cast Member and graduate, and daughter to vacation club members.... We travel to Disney World.... A LOT!

I've been blessed to have experienced such amazing resorts in our travels to the vacation spot that is practically a city in itself.

For countdown to our next Disney Vacation this September 2014, I thought I start my very first series to celebrate one of my favorite places in the world.

Resorts that I have experienced in the Walt Disney World Resort

• Coronado Springs
• Old Key West
• Saratoga Springs
• Port Orleans
• All Stars Resorts
• The Beach Club
• Board Walk
• Animal Kingdom

I feel like I'm missing some, seeing as how the number of Resorts Disney offers seems endless! Keep in mind, the Villas at each resort is only available to DVC (Disney Vacation Club) Members.

My favorite stays would have to be....

• Saratoga Springs Tree House Villas
• Animal Kingdom Kadani Villas
• The Beach Club Villas.

Today I would like share the experience of the...
Disney's Beach Club Resort

Location
Epcot's backyard!

The Beach Club Resort is located in a prime area around the Crescent Lake. Within this resort area there is a short walk around the lake to the Board Walk Resort, The Yacht Club, and The Swan and Dolphin. It's also a short walk to the back entrance to Epcot where you will enter right in the heart of the World Showcase. This would be ideal if you just wanted to bop on by one of the amazing restaurants for an evening meal. There is also a short boat trip that will take you to Hollywood Studios! This location is my absolute favorite and offers many entertaining options outside of the Resort.

• Walk to Boardwalk & Jellyrolls
• Walk to Epcot's backdoor
• Boat ride to Hollywood Studios
• Crescent Lake-water activities

The Pools
Sandy Beach Pool!

One of the best things about this resort is the pool!! Stormalong Bay is a playground of water activities for both child and adult. It is the only pool that offers a sandy beach where young children can hang out and build sandcastles. My girls enjoyed this pool so much and still talk about it to this day.

• Sandy Beach
• Life-size ship wreck water slide
• Lazy River
• 3 hot tub spas

The Digs
Character Breakfast Buffet to die for!

Character breakfast anyone? Instead of having to travel to find one of these Disney vacation musts, you can have the option of walking to one in your own Resort!! Cape May Cafe is a fantastic restaurant that offers the Famous Character Breakfast buffet with options for any picky eater, including the Mickey Waffles! You will want to make advanced reservations for this one.

• Cape May Cafe
• Hurricane Hanna's Bar and Grill
• Beaches and Cream Soda Shop
• Martha's Vineyard
• Endless supply of dining options through Epcot and the other resorts and restaurants located on Crescent Lake.

The Room
We had the luxury of experiencing the one bedroom villa suite with a garden view. The Villa's are offered to the Vacation Club members and they are fantastic. The whirlpool tub and bathroom were huge and the villa resembled that of a beach home. The general area included a couch with a sitting area and TV, a dining area with a full kitchen. A full kitchen is great if you are staying a couple days and don't want to spend all of your money vacation money on food. You can have a service deliver groceries and stock up on late night snacks and easy meals.

What to do!
The Beach Club is packed with activities and areas for all ages. It really is a resort for anyone.

• Sandcastle Club (ages 3-12)
• Movies under the stars on the beach ( this was a family favorite!)
• Campfire on the Beach - Sing along and yummy snacks
• Boat and Bike rentals
• Volleyball court
• Spa and Health Club

Highlights...

• Location
• Stormalong Bay Pool
• Cape May Cafe - Character Breakfast
• The Villa's
• The activities 

I hope you enjoyed this weeks Magical Monday's! This review expresses my personal experience at The Disney Beach Club Resort and Villa. I was not compensated for this post, I was just so impressed with the resort that I had to share.

Have a Magical Monday everyone!
