Quiet places at Yacht/Beach Club

[ChoppyGirl]

We are looking to go back to WDW May 2023 which could possibly be our last trip.

We will be there for 21 nights, 5 at Universal and 16 at WDW. We have finally narrowed down our Disney accommodation to either Grand Destino Tower at CSR or Yacht Club. There are pros and cons to both but what appeals to me about CSR is the quietness of the resort. As YC is so near to Epcot, Boardwalk etc and attracts a lot of foot traffic from those not staying there, is it always loud and busy? Are there any spots you can just sit and chill in the peace and quiet?

When we stayed at a villa on the last trip we had 2 nights at the Boardwalk Villas and whilst the location was amazing I’m not sure if it would be too much for the whole 16 weeks.

Having stayed for many years at the Beach Club it’s not the resort that’s noisy from passers by, we find the walls in the rooms sooooo thin. We’ve had snorers, coughers and. those up for a mid night wee - you can hear it all! You can’t beat the resort for beauty and locality but I do wish Disney would spend money on these considerations and put some good sound-proofing in place when building these hotels.

CSR amazing though not been to the Grand Destino yet so can’t comment on that. Have you considered The Swan and Dolphin? Had a couple of stays there and don’t remember having any noise issues but the same amazing locality as BC/YC.

I’m jealous! 😩😩

We stayed at the Yacht Club for a week - it was years ago - and the whole hotel felt calm and peaceful compared the the Beach Club next door (we have also stayed here, but at the villas).

There are plenty of quiet spaces at the Yacht Club

We've stayed at both Y&BC lots of times and often take a book and drink to a quiet pool for an hour - really nice, as are the lounge bars. The conservatory at BC is a lovely place to chill out too. Even the YC lobby is relaxing, and there are lots of little areas upstairs with chairs / sofas etc.
We've never had a problem with noise in either hotel, but we always ask for a room without a communicating door if possible.

YC/BC have plenty of quiet corners and seating areas, if it was me I would go with YC as we love the Crescent Lake area and being in walking distance of 2 parks.

I can’t say I’ve ever noticed noise from adjoining rooms at Beach Club.
It’s a small resort and in our experience never seems loud and crowded. However, with the skyliner station at the international gateway and the possibility of the Swalphin guests using the buses, we have wondered if it will seem busier

I did not find YC remotely loud or busy when we stayed there, although when I ventured into the BC reception area that was noticeably busier.

I have never stayed at CSR, although we would definitely be interested to try the Tower out one day. But if money was no consideration, there is no way I would pick CSR above the YC, due to location.
