Review: Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Continued

(For the first page of this review of Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, see this.)

PHOTO TOUR OF A ROOM AT DISNEY’S YACHT CLUB RESORT

Standard rooms at the Yacht Club sleep either four on two queens or five on two queens and a sofa that converts to a bed.  These photos (and the floor plan) from my May 2014 visit are of a five-person room. (For a four person room, see the second page of the Beach Club review–rooms at the Yacht Club are identical except for decorations.)

As is typical, when you enter the room the bath is on one side and the closets on the other.

Somewhat unusually, in the closet side you’ll first find this small set of drawers…

…expanding the storage available in the room and handy to the bath. The coffee maker may be on top of it, or on the desk.

Next comes the large closet. Here’s one side.

Note the ironing board etc. on the other side of the closet. There’s also a small safe set in the closet–all Disney rooms have small safes, some smaller than others.

On the other side you’ll find the bath, starting with a pair of sinks.

Here’s a closer view of the sinks.

In a separate space you’ll find the toilet and tub.

Deeper in the room you’ll find two queens on one side, and in the rooms with the fifth sleeping spot the desk is on this side too.

Here’s the beds from the other side…

…and a close up of one of the beds.

Here’s the desk.

As is typical in the Disney deluxe resorts it includes a small rolling table that plays multiple roles: perch the kids on the couch or bed and roll it up to them for dining or use it as a better-height laptop table.

Note the worn edges.  The Yacht and Beach Club rooms are badly in need of a refurb–which a cast member told me would begin this summer.

On the other side of the room you’ll find the TV and dresser, and in five person rooms a couch–maybe I should call  this a daybed?

The dresser includes a mini-fridge…

…and four smallish drawers–making the extra drawers near the bath that much more valuable.

Here’s the couch.

Take off the throws and it’s a bed. I measured it at 72″ long by 30 inches wide, with a 6 inch cushion.

The arms are right on the cushion, so it sleeps shorter than the mattress length implies–but it is comfortable!!

The balcony…

..and the view from mine of the roof of the central back-of-the-house kitchens shared by the Yacht and Beach Club…Most views are better than this!

There’s some nautical art in the room–e.g. the 12 Meter race above the couch…

These rooms are nicely proportioned and have all the right furnishings.  They were tired, though, two years ago, and really show their wear now. I was told in April on my Beach Club visit that a refurb was coming soon, which will be a good thing if it happens!
