Welcome to
planDisney, Chris!
Oh, my goodness! Your first visit to
Walt Disney World--such a magical experience!
You are going to be
amazed at the absolute beauty of
Disney's Yacht Club Resort--and I do not use that word lightly. What a fabulous choice for your first stay!
As Walt Disney World continues its phased reopening of Walt Disney World Theme Parks and Resorts, there are lots of updates that will help you plan some details of your stay. To keep on top of those, take a look at
Disney Resort Hotels: Know Before You Go.
At the time of this writing, many options for
Walt Disney World Water Transportation have not yet been reopened, however, there are lots of great alternatives that will enable you to explore and enjoy the magic throughout the parks and resorts.
If you'd like an absolutely delightful option to walking from Disney's Yacht Club Resort (an easy walk that my family actually enjoys each trip), try
Disney Skyliner. Take a look at the map of
Disney's Yacht Club Resort and look at the pathway that runs along Crescent Lake to the International Gateway entrance of
EPCOT (to the right on the interactive map). Just before that entrance, you'll see a
Disney Skyliner station where you'll have the option to be swiftly lifted above the paths and Guests below as you enjoy a birds eye gondola view on your way to
Disney's Hollywood Studios.
While we enjoy that 15-20 minute leisurely walk between Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT, there's something magical about taking a ride on the Disney Skyliner. It is truly a unique, enjoyable experience in and of itself; you'll love it!
As you plan this most spectacular first visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, Chris, be sure to send us all of your questions. We love to help!
