UPDATED APRIL 2024. Here at Get Away Today we love exploring all Walt Disney World has to offer. From four headlining theme parks, two incredible water parks, an entertainment district and more than 25 Walt Disney World Resort hotels, we have done it all!

Today, we’re taking a closer look at Disney’s Beach Club Resort.

Walt Disney World groups their onsite hotels into four categories:

• Deluxe Villa
• Deluxe Resort
• Moderate Resort
• Value Resort

This is one of Walt Disney World’s Deluxe Resort properties, which means you can expect unique theming and experiences that separate themselves from other onsite properties. While Deluxe Resort hotels have a higher price tag, they also come with amenities that warrant the higher number.

Other Deluxe Resorts at Walt Disney World include:

• Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge (close to Disney’s Animal Kingdom)

• Disney’s Contemporary Resort (close to Magic Kingdom)

For a stay full of fun we recommend staying at least 5 nights, with 4-day 1 Park per Day tickets. This will give you time to not only enjoy your resort amenities but also allows you to experience one day at each of the main theme parks. If you have less time, we recommend considering a Park Hopper ticket so you can still experience all four parks.

We also recommend the Water Park and Sports Option add-on to visit the nearby Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon during your stay at Disney’s Beach Club Resort.
