Hi Nicole! Welcome to planDisney, where we happily answer all of your Disney vacation planning questions!
Disney's Yacht Club Resort is just such a beautiful hotel. While I especially love it during the holiday season, it is warm and inviting no matter what time of year you visit! Plus, you are just a
Disney Skyliner or
boat ride away from
Disney's Hollywood Studios and a short walk to
EPCOT. And since you'll be visiting in October of this year, the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will be running, and the close proximity to that park will definitely come in handy! I'm excited to experience this festival next week and I have already written down the items I'm dying to try from some of the
menus!
To answer your first question, a friendly Cast Member informed me that the chair sleepers at this resort are the size of twin beds and I have found them to be more comfortable than a typical sofa bed. Secondly, no matter the time of year, if are selecting 3 people in your party when making your
Disney Collection Resorts Collection hotel room reservation, your resort room will accommodate those 3 people. If there is a particular bed configuration that you would like, you can make a request once you've booked your reservation by
calling the resort, making the request during the
online check-in process through your
My Disney Experience mobile app or
My Disney Experience account, or by
sending an email. Please note that while Disney will try their best to honor your request, it is not guaranteed.
Not only is Disney's Yacht Club Resort close to two parks but it's also got the best pool in all of the
Walt Disney World Resort:
Stormalong Bay, which it shares with
Disney's Beach Club Resort. And speaking of Disney's Beach Club Resort, you just
have to make an
advanced dining reservation for
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. One of my favorite memories of any trip is seeing my nephew's face when the
Kitchen Sink sundae arrived at our table!
Nicole, I hope you have a wonderful fall visit to the resort. Please
reach out again if you have any other questions!
Get ready for adventure in the great wide somewhere,
Matt
