As part of our July trip, we were lucky enough to snag a room at the Beach Club for five nights and six days. This hotel is a New England style resort. Easy access to Hollywood Studios and Epcot as well as the Boardwalk resort.
The DVC Room:
The room had a very spacious front door area, which worked well with our family. The room comfortably fits a family of 5. There are a queen bed, a full sofa bed, and a pull-down twin size bed. Since we were on the first floor, we had a small patio that directly connected to a walking path. As with all DVC rooms, there was a kitchenette (including a small fridge, microwave, toaster, sink and dining ware). The main difference between the Polynesian and Beach Club DVC room was with the Polynesian; there were an additional shower and sink area. The Beach Club room did have a more prominent entryway with a space to hang your magic bands, hats, and ears.

[Helpful Tip!] Stop by the Beach Club Marketplace on your first day and stock up on breakfast items and milk. This way you can save time and money at least for breakfast. This is something we do every trip!
Overall Experience:
I have to say that the Beach Club is our favorite resort….thus far. 🙂 You get the benefits of boat ride or walk to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. The ability to just escape the craziness of a park and be transported to a beach resort with the Boardwalk just across the way, (which is walkable as well). If you time it right, you can even catch some of the Hollywood and Epcot fireworks while in the pool. There are plenty of restaurants with all the easy access to 4 resorts (Beach, Yacht, Boardwalk, and Swan & Dolphin hotels). We hope to be back soon, but with all the demand it may be awhile. And with that I hope, you’re having a magical day!
