This resort comes a very close second to the Boardwalk Villas as my favourite Disney resort. We spent an exceptionally enchanting two weeks here in a lovely studio that overlooked Epcot with a great view of the nightly fireworks.

You certainly can't beat the location. From the villas, it's a very short walk to the International Gateway and World Showcase. We found the staff here to be accommodating and friendly. The ambience was wonderful. Although the lobby is definitely not huge, the other public areas are spacious and comfortable. We found the bus service to be excellent during our stay but we only had to share with the Yacht Club while we were there.

The pool has to be experienced to be believed. Stormalong Bay is nothing short of amazing and it was also handy that one of the hot tubs is inside so that it was still easy to use even during inclement weather. Having a character meal right there at the hotel was also a lovely perk. And it was an excellent character meal at that. And we're totally addicted to the ice cream concoctions to be found at Beaches and Cream.

Since we're DVC members, the room charge was not an issue for us. In conclusion, I think that the Beach Club Villas is hard to beat as a relaxing, magical place to stay while at WDW.
