Welcome ashore, Zachary! I absolutely love staying at the
Disney's Beach Club Resort with it’s clean lines, bright colors and fresh aloe smell. It always feels like home!
While I don’t think the review you read was wrong or right, I can tell you the bus stops for the Beach Club are located across the canal, to the left as you leave the front lobby doors. It only takes me a minute or two to walk from the elevators to the white bench seats to wait for
Walt Disney World Bus Transportation. If you check
the map of Disney’s Beach Club Resort, you’ll see that the bus stops are located nearly equidistant from both the Villas and the Resort Hotel.
When you make your reservation, you can request to be placed “close to the elevator,” or “close to transportation options.” While Cast Members can’t guarantee placement, they will try their best based on occupancy and openings. There is a possibility you will stay in the far wing of the Beach Club, but the trade-off is that you are much closer to
Epcot’s International Gateway, which puts you right into the World Showcase as well as the Boardwalk, where you will find tons of restaurants and entertainment options.
Thank you for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, please return so we can help make the most of your magical vacation! ~Lindsey P.
