Check In 

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort check-in time is 3 pm, and check-out time is 11am. This means that your room isn't guaranteed to be ready for you before 3 p.m. and the resort needs you completely out of your room by 11 a.m. on the day you check out.  

The Yacht Club is a five-story, 630 room resort located along the shore of Crescent Lake, opposite the Boardwalk Resort. Themed after seaside New England hotels of the late 1800s, the Yacht Club has a stately, nautical look and feel; hardwood floors and brass accents enhance this feeling 

If you arrive early, go ahead and check in at the Front Desk. If your room is not ready, the resort luggage assistance will store your bags for you and deliver them to your room when you return. The Front Desk will give you a resort charge card, even if your room is not ready. The Guest Services desk will provide your room key when you return and your room is ready. 

Late Check-out of 1:00 pm can be requested without additional cost. If you need Late Check-out, inquire at Check-In when you should request this. Most resorts ask you to call the morning of check-out because the number of eligible rooms are limited.  

Express Check-out is available upon request (easiest to do when you check in) to all guests paying with a credit card. A detailed hotel bill is delivered to your door by 7am.  If the bill is correct you simply leave.  Your room key serves as a Disney Souvenir. Your room key will be automatically deactivated at 11 am.  

If you plan to enjoy the parks the day of check out you can call Bell Services to pick up your luggage. If you are taking a bus or taxi to the airport, Bell Services will keep your luggage until your transportation arrives

Resort Pools and Recreation 

Probably one of the best pools in Walt Disney World, StormAlong Bay is over 3 acres large.  There are actually several sections to the pool which sits in the middle of Disney’s Beach Club and Disney’s yacht Club Resorts.  Each section by each resort are separate and different so be sure to try both. There is a deep circular area with jets that push you like a river current around the pool. There is also the larger area where the the water slide empties out (The water slide is not to be missed! but sometimes the line gets long) In addition, the *sinking sand* area delights both kids and adults. There are several 'hot tubs' located in secluded locations around Stormalong Bay . A separate wading pool area with sand is located near the ShipWreck water slide entrance for small children and includes a kids water slide.  

A white fence was built to surround the StormAlong Bay complex. This was done due to the large amount of non-resort guests that were using the pool. Access to the Pool area is now extremely limited; one entrance is just outside Martha's Vineyard; one entrance at the Yacht Club; and one entrance near Hurricane Hanna's. To visit Hurricane Hanna's you must carry your resort ID with you in order to return to the pool area. Each person in the party does not need their ID to enter (if you all enter together) but keep in mind you need the ID if you exit and re-enter the Pool area! You do get stamped upon entering. Lifeguards are on duty 

There is a quiet pool at the Yacht Club, found on the far end of the hotel farthest from the Beach Club and closest to the Swan/Dolphin. There is also a hot tub in the same area as the quiet pool. The quiet pool has it's own supply of towels. There is no lifeguard at the Quiet Pool. Guest laundry is located here
