Let’s talk BEACH CLUB! 🏖️

Disney’s Beach Club Resort is one of my most favorite places to stay at Walt Disney World! I wanted to share some photos with you from our recent trip so you can get a feel of the resort and show you what it has to offer! Below are some highlights of this beautiful resort!
☀️It is in the DELUXE resort category, which means you get outstanding amenities, you’re close to the magic, and you get those amazing extended hours at the parks only open to deluxe resort guests!
☀️LOCATION! Speaking of being close to the magic, Beach Club’s location cannot be beat! You are literally steps away from EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Boardwalk!
☀️Transportation options at Disney’s Beach Club Resort are buses, boats, Skyliner, and of course walking! I love having multiple transportation options to the parks.
☀️The pool, Stormalong Bay, is one of the best on Disney property! It features a sand bottom, sand bar to build sand castles, and the most amazing pirate ship water slide!
☀️Dining options at Beach Club are awesome… you have the popular Beaches and Cream Soda Shop, and the lovely Cape May Cafe with character dining (just to name a few). There are lots of other dining options here as well, including restaurants at their sister resort, Yacht Club, which is attached to Beach Club. You can also take a stroll to Disney’s Boardwalk where you’ll find lots of other yummy dining options!

These are just a few of the reasons Disney’s Beach Club Resort is my favorite. But the location and theming can’t be beat! Reach out if you’d like more info on this amazing deluxe resort!

Space 220 did not disappoint! This last trip was our first time dining here, and it was such a cool experience! Every little detail… from your launch up to the restaurant in space, the atmosphere, the entire dining experience, the food… it was awesome! Also one of the best meals we had this trip! Food was outstanding. You get a three course meal…appetizer, main course, and desert. I wish I had taken pictures of the food, but I was just too excited to eat it and forgot! 🤦🏽‍♀️ I highly recommend Space 220 for your next visit to EPCOT!

Did you know that Disney Deluxe Resort guests get to experience an amazing perk?! Extended Evening Hours allows deluxe resorts guests to have extra time in the parks on select nights, in select parks to experience attractions with little to no wait!! We loved doing the extended evening hours last week and basically walked on most rides at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. It was amazing how much we got done in 2 hours! Gave us some more down time during the day to take our time and chill at the pool. I highly recommend taking advantage of this awesome perk! And I mean, how beautiful is the castle all lit up at night?! 😍🤩 Let me help you book your next stay at a deluxe Walt Disney World Resort!

“NOT OUR DINO!” 🦖

I 🫶🏼 DINOSAUR! With the recent D23 announcements, I have very mixed feelings about them changing this ride… I know it will be awesome, whatever they do with it, but I’ve always enjoyed this one over the years. Glad I got to ride it twice this past trip! But I am also SUPER excited to see what they do for their “tropical America’s” planned expansion, because that is right up my alley! 🌴🌺

What change are you most (or least) excited for??

31/08/2023

So cool!!

JUST ANNOUNCED: Disneyland announced that the Haunted Mansion’s stately grounds will expand next year to include an outdoor queue featuring gardens inspired by Master Gracey, Madame Leota and the one-eyed cat. A new Madame Leota-themed retail shop will open near the ride's exit 🔮

Walt Disney World and Disneyland are getting some exciting updates to their dining reservation system!! 🙌🏼

With the coming upgrade, when you search for a restaurant and time, you will see ALL the reservations available in a single view!

Better visibility will also be part of the new update. Reservation availability will be sorted by meal periods, so it will be much more clear on what menu is being served during the time of the reservation. This is especially helpful for those who want character dining, and the characters only come out during specific meal periods.

These new updates will be coming in phases in the following weeks for both Disneyland and Walt Disney World on the website and IOS and Android platforms!
