Hello Alasdair! Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
Disney's Beach Club Resort is absolutely my favorite place to stay while on vacation at
Walt Disney World. Everything about the resort is so luxurious, it's a fun treat. Being able to walk to Epcot in the morning for pastries from the France Pavilion is a huge perk. The best part of the resort, for my family, happens to be the pool area.
Stormalong Bay is basically a mini water park, it's 3 acres of splashtastic fun! There's a sand-bottomed pool, a life-size shipwreck replica that's actually a 230-foot-long waterslide, a lazy river and 3 whirlpool spas to relax in.
Movies Under The Stars is another really fun thing to do while staying at Disney's Beach Club Resort or any other Walt Disney World Resort Hotel for that matter. Movies are, for the most part, shown nightly. When you check-in ask the Cast Member helping you for the nightly schedule during your stay. Keep in mind that Movies Under The Stars is subject to change or cancel at anytime. At Disney's Beach Club Resort you'll be able to catch a movie either in the Solarium or on a lawn outside near the volleyball courts.
I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to come back and ask.
