Hello, John!
Your choice to stay at
Disney’s Beach Club Villas for your upcoming visit to the Walt Disney World Resort was perfect! Stormalong Bay is arguably the best
Disney Resorts Collection hotel pool. For dessert, it’s hard to find a place better than
Beaches and Cream. And the short walk to EPCOT sounds like a great option for you!
If you navigate the
Beach Club Resort website, you should see the Map on the right side of your screen, just above the hotel address. Go ahead and click on that to enlarge the screen, and at the top, you should see a building shaped like a horseshoe or a spur. That building encompasses the Beach Club Villas. Pending the itinerary for your vacation, you could ask the Cast Member upon check-in for a specific wing to accommodate your needs. For example, if you plan on driving to and from the theme parks, you could request the wing closest to the parking lot (right side of the horseshoe/north). If you would like shorter walks to the Beach Club Marketplace, lobby, or Stormalong Bay, you would want to request a room closest to the main building (left side of horseshoe/southwest). But if you desire to be closest to the walking path to EPCOT, you should request a room in the spur of the building (south/southeast).
I suggest contacting either the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations phone number found under the Reservations and Tickets section of the Help Center or the
Disney Vacation Club Member Services Number to add your room location request to your reservation before arrival. On the day of your arrival, I would skip the mobile check-in process so you can speak to a Cast Member at the resort's front desk to ensure your request is documented or reiterate it. The more flexible you are with checking-in/willingness to wait for a room that would accommodate your mobility endurance issues, the better chance that the Cast Members will be able to accommodate your request. As always, there are no guarantees, but the Cast Members will work all the magic they have at their disposal to ensure your stay is magical.
I hope this helps, John. Please revisit us if you have any additional Disney vacation planning questions or want some dining suggestions along
Disney’s Boardwalk!
