Description

Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod are recalled in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort and Disney’s Beach Club Resort, themed to reflect New England seashore hotels of the 1880s. Both resorts share access to Stormalong Bay, a three-acre mini water park reminiscent of a Nantucket beach. A 750,000-gallon sand-bottomed pool and 230-foot-long water slide are featured.

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort features oyster-gray clapboard buildings, hardwood floors and rich millwork.
