Hi Daniel! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy!
Disney’s Beach Club Resort! I love this resort and its location! You have access to many other
Disney Resorts Collection hotels and restaurants, either within walking distance or by taking the Disney Skyliner. You are also in the backyard of
EPCOT and can enter through the International Gateway for quick access to the park. As you mentioned,
Stormalong Bay is one of the best pools, not only at Walt Disney World but anywhere around! My family was lucky to stay here last year, and we had an amazing time enjoying the resort.
Disney’s Old Key West Resort is another one that has the perfect summer vibe! The
Sandcastle Pool is inviting and relaxing and has a sauna located in the lighthouse tower. Your friends are going to absolutely love the time they spend there.
Unfortunately, only Guests staying at their respective resort can utilize the pool. This is especially true at Disney’s Beach Club and Stormalong Bay due to the popularity of this location. If your friends happened to be staying with you for one of the nights and listed on your room reservation, then they can have access to the pool at that point. Each Guest is required to scan their MagicBand upon entry to the pool.
This should not stop you from getting together with your friends to enjoy the other amenities that the resort has to offer. There are countless restaurants at both Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club Resorts, as well as places on
Disney’s Boardwalk to enjoy a delicious meal together. You can all take a ride on the
Disney Skyliner to
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and dine at
Sebastian's Bistro! The list goes on and on!
Daniel, I hope you and your friends have a magical time on your upcoming visit! Please stop back at
planDisney for any questions that may pop up!
See ya real soon!
