California Grill is the one restaurant I recommend to people asking me for advice, the views can’t be beat, and the food is delicious! Even if you just go for drinks or appetizers, it’s great to just see it!

Yacht Club

Located in the Epcot Resort Area, where transportation is available by boat or bus (and you can walk to Epcot and Hollywood Studios). Rooms start at $401 per night

• Standard View ( 2 Queen beds and 1 Day bed, or 1 Queen bed and 1 Twin sleeper sofa and 1 Day bed, or 1 King bed, or 1 King bed and 1 Day bed)

Yacht Club has a convention centre attached, so it’s worth noting that there can be people attending conferences and such staying there. I share a funny story about Yacht Club in the video at the bottom of the post!

Boardwalk Resort

Also located in the Epcot resort area, has bus and boat transportation, and you can also walk to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Prices start at $439/night.

• Standard View (2 Queen beds and 1 Day bed, or 1 King bed, or 2 Queen beds, or 1 king bed and 1 Day bed)
• Garden View (1 Day bed and 2 Queen beds, or 1 King bed and 1 Day bed)

  • Club Level: Standard Room (2 Queen beds and 1 Day bed, or 1 King bed, or 2 Queen beds)
  • Deluxe Room (2 Queen beds and 1 Queen sleeper sofa)
  • Outer Building Garden Room (1 King Bed)
• Food options: Flying Fish, Big River Grille & Brewing Works, and Trattoria al Forno (character breakfast) are the Table Service options, and Boardwalk Bakery is the Quick Service restaurant. One thing to note about Boardwalk Bakery is it is on the actual Boardwalk, so you’d have to actually walk around to access it. Normally the food options are off of the lobby or in the Main Building, so Boardwalk is a little different.

On my last trip to Walt Disney World we walked to the Boardwalk for the first time, and it has such a nice atmosphere! Being able to walk to Epcot and Hollywood Studios is so nice, and I’d love to stay here someday!

Hello everyone! Today we are continuing on in the Walt Disney World Resort Series with The Deluxe Resorts! I will be splitting the deluxe resorts and the villas into two post each, because there are more resorts at this level than any other! Today I’ll be focusing on four different Deluxe Resorts, and I’ll be sharing the different rooms available, and food options at each resort! All prices are as of July 28th, 2018. Okay, let’s get started!

Something special that is available at the Deluxe Resorts!

CLUB LEVEL. This is a special type of room and service only available at deluxe resorts. Club level is much more expensive, and is a seperate section at the resort. When staying Club Level, you have your own check-in, and concierge, as well as a special eating ares where food is available all day, and is included in the stay. Views are generally amazing from the lounge as well! I’d love to stay Club Level someday, but for now the price would not be worth it, especially because we are generally at the parks for most of the day.

Food: Jiko: The Cooking Place, Sanaa, and Boma (buffet) are all Table Service restaurant. The Mara is the Quick Service restaurant.

Ethan and I are thinking of staying at Animal Kingdom on our next trip (which is a while away, and not concrete). We’d love to try all of the restaurants, and just try being in a different area of Walt Disney World!
