Hi, Steve! Welcome to planDisney.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort is a coastal dream with New England charm! But the real showstopper (in my opinion) is
Stormalong Bay. This sprawling, three-acre pool area is complete with a lazy river, sandy-bottom swimming area, and a waterslide that starts from the mast of a shipwreck. It’s basically a mini water park right outside your room… and the only time you’ll actually want sand in your swimsuit. My family stayed here last year, and it's our favorite pool on property.
But "let's get down to business." When your 7-day early booking window opens on 9/1, you’ll be able to book
Lightning Lanes for your Beach Club stay (9/8–9/11). For your offsite portion (9/5–9/7), you won’t get the 7-day perk, but don’t worry, you can still book Lightning Lanes starting 3 days before each of your theme park days, just like other non-resort Guests. So, two different windows, but both giving you plenty of chances to snag the rides you love.
Here’s a tip: For the offsite days, try to grab your Lightning Lane selections as soon as your 3-day window opens. Those popular rides can fill up fast! And for the Beach Club days, make a plan for your must-do attractions first so you can enjoy the park without constantly checking your phone. A little planning now means more time for Mickey-shaped snacks later!
