Hello, Lou Ann!
Welcome back to planDisney! I am so happy you have trusted my fellow panelist friends and me with your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning for almost ten years! I hope we have been helpful and your trips have been magical.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort and
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort are quickly becoming my favorite hotels out of the 30+
Disney Resorts Collection hotels to choose from. We enjoy the restaurant options,
Disney’s BoardWalk, the ability to walk to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool. Our kids spend hours on the slide, the lazy river, and building castles in the sand.
As you are aware, from January 2025 through June 2025, Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool will be closed for refurbishment. Unfortunately, you cannot utilize the pools at a different resort, but you can enjoy any of the
three leisure pools: Tidal, Admiral, and Dunes Cove.
My family and I are actually planning a vacation during the same timeframe. Because we like to alternate between days at the park and days by the pool, we have decided to give
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn a try. Of course, we will still be making our way over to the
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop — I can promise you that! If you haven't tried the Kitchen Sink, you must do so during your stay. It serves four Guests, has five flavors of ice cream, and a ton of toppings! I'm hungry just thinking about it...
If you have any additional questions, Lou Anne,
please let me know!
See you real soon!
