Yacht Club lobby has just been totally redecorated - they were still doing it when we left on 18th Sept.

Refurbed rooms at AKL no long dark at all, beautiful decorations, bright and light and loads of storage space now you can put your cases under the beds.

Ooh, do you have pics? I know people complained about the dark rooms / lobby but we just felt it was all part of the fabulous theming and liked it anyway. We always think at AKL that you feel miles away from the parks and can really relax.

We had this dilemma for last year and went for Yacht Club and I don’t regret it for a second 😍 it’s now my on site hotel of choice.

Sitting on the balcony every single morning with a coffee and then also on an evening was perfect. We were lucky to have be upgraded to a water/fireworks view too.

We didn’t find the pool area noisy or offensive in any way. We loved it.

And the proximity to Epcot and DHS... well, just perfect.

I had this exact issue. Last visit we stayed at AKL, absolutely loved it, I felt emotional everytime I walked around... next time we are staying at yacht club, wanted to try a different resort (we had been to yacht club for dinner) and went with yacht club because we liked the feel of it and location is great. I’m seriously hoping I love it as much as AKL...

We always say that if they could move AKL to Crescent Lake it would be perfect
