Shopping and Sundries

Club Level

All Disney deluxe resorts offer club level accommodations. We really enjoy the extra services from the concierge staff, as well as the club lounge for a snack or drink throughout the day. Read here to decide if it’s worth it for your stay.

The Regatta Club at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is currently undergoing a refurbishment and will hopefully emerge like the much improved Stone Harbor Club at its sister resort. The Regatta Club staff is also a lot of fun, and we’ve spent lots of time chatting them up and laughing with them during our stays.

Dining

With so many dining options surrounding the Epcot resort area and the World Showcase just next door, it’s easy to overlook the options at the Yacht Club, but take a meal or two to experience what the resort has to offer, including a signature restaurant.

Yachtsman Steakhouse

Yacht Club’s signature offering, serving only dinner, is the Yachtsman Steakhouse. Arguably one of the better places to find a steak on property, I have some friends who can take it or leave it, but it is a very nice place with some nice options if you’re looking for an upscale experience at your resort.

Crew’s Cup Lounge

Next door to the Yachtsman is the Crew’s Cup Lounge, offering guests a low-key spot to grab light fare and adult beverages.

Ale & Compass Restaurant

Formerly Captain’s Grille, Ale & Compass has taken on a gastropub feel and seems to be pulling in a few more crowds than its predecessor. Stop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner and enjoy a calm, cool environment while noshing on Eastern seaboard catches.

Ale and Compass Lounge

The Ale and Compass Lounge is located just off the main lobby and offers libations, apps and non-alcoholic drinks.

The Marketplace at Ale and Compass

Offering a variety of quick service options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, The Marketplace is your one stop shop for everything yummy, as well as souvenirs, packaged snacks and more!

Hurricane Hanna’s Grill

Hanna’s poolside offers burgers and other quick service fare for guests hanging out at Stormalong Bay or just passing by.  It also serves as a mug refill spot.  Kids’ meals come in a bucket perfect for building castles on the sand bar!

Private Dining

Room service is available 24 hours.

Recreation

The Yacht Club, along with its sister resort, the Beach Club, feature, by popular opinion, the best pool area on property!  Stormalong Bay features water slides, sand bottom, a whirlpool, lazy river, sand bar and more!  Complimentary life jackets are also available.

The Ship Shape Health Club features fitness equipment and salon and spa services.  Also available are tennis courts, sand volleyball, jogging trails, Lafferty Place Arcade and the Bayside Marina (which ofers boat and bike rentals, as well as fishing excursions, kids’ only cruises and fireworks cruises, among other great experiences).  While pool-hopping is not allowed at Walt Disney World, sister resorts, such as the Yacht and Beach Club, may utilize the pools at both resorts.

The Sandcastle Club located next door at the Beach Club is a convenient option for parents who want a night out, perhaps across Crescent Lake at the Boardwalk, and who have (potty-trained and anti-pull-up) children 3-12 years old.  Dinner is served between 6:00 and 8:00 P.M., and you gotta get the kidlets by midnight, or they turn into pumpkins.

Or maybe you’ll decide to end the day all together with some campfire fun and a Movie Under the Stars.

Around the Resort

Although the Yacht and Beach share many things, the Yacht Club truly has its own feel, as you can see in these parting shots from around the resort.
