Are you going with adults? Kids? What ages? Have you been to WDW before? Are you garden view, water or concierge?

I'll only add that there is nothing better than walking back to the resort after Illuminations, knowing that the majority of the people at EPCOT have that neverending walk back to the bus stops or monorail. Try and get a lagoon view. It';s worth the extra expense.

Also, if you don't mind walking or boat rides, take advantage of the fact that Epcot and MGM are right next door. And after a short jaunt through Epcot, the MK is a monorail ride away. Third, enjoy Stormalong Bay pool, the best pool area in WDW. You'll hardly need to go to the water parks when you have Stormalong in your back yard. Enjoy yor trip!

The rooms are small, the service at the front desk has been sub-par IMHO for years for some unknown reason. The pool IS awesome, but there are others just as fun. It's Old Key West or Boardwalk for me from now on.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I think the Yacht Club has a great location... as do all the Epcot hotels. I did not enjoy our one stay there, but that was for two reasons having nothing to do with the hotel itself. 1) We were given a free (and unsolicited) upgrade to a room on the Concierge floor. I found that the people there were WAY too impressed with themselves for my taste. 2) One of the nights we were there I had probably the worst stomach flu I've ever had in my life. No fun. Unfortunately, those two things have given me bad memories associated with the Yacht Club, so I probably won't stay there again.
