I've only been to two deluxe hotels the other being Contemporary. But this one was definitely perfect for my family. With two autistic boys the quietness after a high anxiety day for them is what they needed.
The cast members there were always on it with any request we had.
The walk to two of the 4 parks was a huge perk. Lil night life across the way at the boardwalk was a delight.
Not to mention right next door was beaches amd cream which is always a crowd pleaser.
Amd that pool... To die for! It will remain my #1 park until it doesn't. 😉
Pros:
Location Calm and quiet after along day Pool Food optionsCons:

My husband and I just returned from our first visit to WDW. We stayed at Yacht Club Resort. This resort was perfect for us. The location was amazing! Walking distance to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Or the option to take the fun boat to either place. Having quick access to the Skyliner opened up more food options for us, since food choices were limited due to COVID. The bus ride to Magic Kingdom and Disney Springs was 10 minutes each. We always were able to board the first bus that arrived. The theming of the resort was great! We loved having a Coke Freestyle machine in the Marketplace to use, it really opened up our drink options for our Resort Refillable Mugs. The Cast Members were very friendly and gave us lots of great tips for Disney Springs and the Flower and Garden Festival.
Pros:
Theming, comfortable room, great pool, friendly and helpful cast membersCons:
Lack of open food options at resort due to COVIDReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/02/2021

We just returned from the YC and were SO happy with our stay there! We celebrated 2 birthdays and were sent hand written letters. The manager of the gift shop managed to open the display window to retrieve 2 Yacht Club mugs that I wanted to purchase. The entire staff treated my family like royalty!!! We will choose this resort for our next trip!!!!
Pros:
Very friendly and polite staff. Sent a service person to our room at 10:00pm when we couldn’t get the AC to work!Cons:

We stayed at the YC for our Honeymoon in October of 2019. We stayed club level and we had an absolute blast! The YC itself was very clean, well kept, and the amenities on site were fantastic. The concierge did a wonderful job of getting us sorted out and into our room. The lounge itself was comfortable and clean, and the food options were great although timing the release of some of the better food was difficult. Most folks wanting a "Disney" resort may not find it "Disney" enough for their liking, but we loved it. The proximity to the parks was a huge seller for us. We also VERY much enjoyed being right on the boardwalk for a nighttime stroll, a run, or just for the scenery.
Quick note: You CANNOT take a bus from YC to Epcot or Hollywood Studios! We didn't realize this, and were directed to the Friend Ships which we obviously liked even more. You can technically walk to both locations, but the ships will likely get you there more quickly. This was ESPECIALLY helpful during Food and Wine, when we returned to the YC every day to head to Epcot for lunch. The pool was easily the best in Disney, lazy river, sand bottom, and multiple hot tubs for use. Beaches and Cream right nearby, the Yachtsman was the best dinner we had on site. Our server, Bill, had been there 15+ years and was able to tell us a WEALTH of information about the meals, wine pairings, etc. He and the Yachtsman were an absolute joy. Our Concierge was also incredibly helpful! Dining recommendations, behind the scenes tips, reminders about events, daily newsletters, and more. I really don't have anything negative to say about the Yacht Club aside from maybe the pricing? We had the best stay, great service, great on-site amenities, friendly staff, clean, and we will 100% be going back as soon as we can!
Pros:
-Proximity to Epcot/HWS -Club level options -Cleanliness -Adult theming -Great on site restaurant -Best pool on property -Right on the boardwalkCons:
-Price -Club level food scheduling -Read about transportation options ahead of time!Reviewed by slidersport Review Date: 02/15/2021

We stayed here in June 2017, and we absolutely loved it. Our room was fantastic with a good view of the water. I liked the consistent theming, and this area is the BEST proximity for adults visiting WDW without children. We had Park Hopper tickets, and we would eat dinner in Epcot most nights utilizing the World Showcase entrance.
Pros:
so many transportation options (walk to Epcot and HS, boats, buses, now Skyliner), access to the Boardwalk, easy access to Swan and Dolphin dining, great dining in the resort, consistent themingCons:

We stayed in December 2020. We found the room to be excellent. The same for the dining options. The staff was friendly and, when we requested additional coffee pods or towels, they were brought right away. We also loved being close to the Boardwalk, where you had additional dining options such as Trattoria al Forno. We would not hestitate to stay her again!
Pros:
Location! Within walking distance of both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Also close to a Skyliner terminal. Also, Stormalong Bay is the best pool on property!Cons:
It did not have a microwave, which would have been very helpful.Reviewed by Fitch1963 Review Date: 10/27/2020

This is my favorite resort on all of WDW!!! I have stayed numerous times. The staff has bent over backwards for my family on more than one occasion. We had a family emergency and the hotel cast member called the airline, booked a cab (on Disney) and got me home that night.
Pros:
Location! Location! Location!!! Best spot for any of the EPCOT Festivals!!!! We adore Food and Wine. It\\'s perfect!!!! You can walk HOME after a long day at EPCOT or HS and avoid the public transportation.Cons:
