Disney's Yacht and Beach Club are sister resorts located a short walk from Epcot's World Showcase. Many consider the pool area (Stormalong Bay), with its shipwreck theming, huge water slide and sandy bottom pool to be the best of any Disney resort.

Restaurants and entertainment at the Boardwalk are also conveniently close by. More on Ditching Planes and the A320's Water-Friendly Design
