Hello there, Iris! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for this fantastic question about
luxury poolside cabanas. Just typing that makes me long for a relaxing day in the shade! It sounds like you have a
Walt Disney World Resort visit in a few weeks, so let's look at the booking window for your paradise by the pool.
I double-checked with a whistle-wearing Cast Member who confirmed that cabana rentals work like advanced dining reservations. Guests of Disney Resort hotels should be able to book a cabana for any time during the length of their stay as soon as their check-in date hits that 60-day mark. And since these prime spots by the swimmin' hole are in great demand, I recommend setting an alarm and trying as soon as your
booking window opens. The early bird gets the lounge chair!
Private cabanas at
Disney's Beach Club Resort can be reserved by calling (407) WDW-PLAY between 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM. If you're a morning person, my tip is to try a little before that because Cast Members sometimes start their days early. A bonus tip is to ask about any available discounts; sometimes, Annual Passholders or Disney Visa Cardholders are eligible for special pricing.
Your private oasis will accommodate up to six guests, and you'll be treated to complimentary sodas and beach towels. Some cabanas even provide a fruit basket and television to help you unwind. That's what I call pampering!
Enjoy your time at Stormalong Bay, Iris, and thanks again for allowing
planDisney to help you plan your magical getaway. Remember to bring the sunscreen!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
