11 - Yacht and Beach Club Resorts
Description
AJ, Mike, and Chris take you back to the beginnings of the Disney Decade expansion and two of the first new deluxe resorts on property, the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts. Nestled on the shores of the newly created Crescent Lake, these two sister resorts offer laid back elegance and fun. We learn about the architects behind their design, the fantastic dining options, the best resort pool in all of Walt Disney World, and the one room on the entire property that is the closest you can stay to a theme park in Walt Disney World.
Find out why this resort has long been a family favorite. Hop a surrey bike, grab your kitchen sink, and join us at the Friendship boat launch!
