Hi Jessica,
Disney's Beach Club Resort is one of my favorite Walt Disney World Resort Hotels! You can easily walk to both
Epcot and
Disney's Hollywood Studios or take a Water taxi if you prefer. You can also travel to Magic Kingdom Park by way of the Epcot Monorail, giving you access to 3 Theme Parks without needing to use Disney Bus Transportation.
Disney's BoardWalk is just a short walk from the Resort and has lots of great entertainment in the evening and, in my opinion, some of the best restaurants on property. My family loves to view
Illuminations: Reflections of Earth fireworks on the bridge just before the International Gateway entrance to Epcot.
Each room at Disney's Beach Club Resort has either a balcony or patio. If you prefer a room with a balcony and a daybed, then you will need to call Disney Resort Hotel Reservations at (407) 939-1936 and have your request noted on your Reservation. If you are planning on spending a great deal of time in your room, then I would suggest upgrading to a pool or lagoon view. If not then keep your standard room reservation; the room is just as nice and the view won't be an issue if you are going to be out and about enjoying the Parks and the fabulous Stormalong Bay.
I hope this information helps. Please stop back by and let us know if we can help you with any additional vacation planning questions!
Magical Wishes,
Susan
