In the heart of the Walt Disney World Resort lies wonder, excitement, and endless entertainment. For those seeking to fully immerse themselves in the magic, staying at one of Disney’s EPCOT area resorts offers benefits that heightens the vacation experience.
EPCOT, one of Disney’s most beloved theme parks, invites visitors to journey across the globe, explore futuristic innovations, and immerse themselves in cultural experiences. The 4 annual EPCOT festivals bring a celebratory atmosphere throughout the year. Staying close enough to walk to that experience makes it easy to enjoy.
Let’s explore the top reasons to stay at Disney’s EPCOT area resorts! First, for any Disney related travel plans, let me encourage you to utilize the service of a travel professional that specializes in Disney Destinations.
Location is Everything
One of the most significant advantages of staying at Disney’s EPCOT area resorts is their unparalleled proximity to the magic. Imagine waking up just steps away from the iconic Spaceship Earth or enjoying a leisurely stroll to the park’s entrance.
By staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, Yacht or Beach Club, guests can make the most of their time in the park. The effortless advantage of returning to your resort for a midday break feels priceless. In addition, proximity to each other means guests can take advantage of some of the amenities at the other resorts. Each of the EPCOT area hotels is walkable to the other. Enjoy a full “resort day” of activities!

Lastly, the Disney Swan and Dolphin Hotels, which are Good Neighbor Resorts, are also within walking distance in this area. The Marriot owned duo have many of the same perks as Disney deluxe resorts on property.
Luxury Amenities
Each resort has its own unique theme, and each feels upscale. From the charming boardwalk ambiance of Disney’s BoardWalk Inn to the elegant nautical-inspired Yacht Club Resort, guests feel the full vacation vibe.
Immerse yourself in the opulence of each of these deluxe level resorts. In addition to a bustling waterfront experience, these hotels are home to signature dining, amazing pools, and unique entertainment.
Guests are free to indulge in the luxurious amenities of Disney’s Yacht Club and Beach Club resorts, featuring sandy beaches along with the serene tranquility of a New England-style yacht club. Yacht Club and Beach Club Resorts share the best pool on property-Stormalong Bay. Comparable to a small waterpark, guests of all ages will enjoy a day here outside the parks.
Standard Rooms and Villas
The EPCOT area resorts are home to both standard rooms as well as multi-bedroom villas with full kitchens and laundry capabilities. As part of the Disney Vacation Club, all the area hotels offer the option of larger accommodations.
Moreover, each also offers club level accommodations with concierge service and access to the club level lounge. Enjoy complimentary small plates, snacks, and beverages during your stay.
Dining Delights and Culinary Adventures
One of the highlights of staying at Disney’s EPCOT area resorts is the dining options available right at your doorstep. From seafood at the award-winning Flying Fish to mouthwatering steaks at Yachtsman Steakhouse, foodies will delight in the array of dining experiences offered. Furthermore, step INSIDE and indulge in one to EPCOT’s top restaurants or snack around World Showcase inside the park.
Additionally, guests can explore the quick service eateries and vibrant nightlife of the area. Try sampling artisanal cocktails at Abracadabar Lounge or dancing late into the night at the Boardwalk Dance Hall.
Lastly, the hotels are within walking distance of the Disney Skyliner at the EPCOT International Gateway Entrance. Hop on this newest mode of transportation to take advantage of even more amenities around the Disney Skyliner Resorts. That includes character dining for breakfast with Mickey and friends at the Riviera Resort.
Exclusive Theme Park Benefits
Guests staying at Disney’s EPCOT area resorts can enjoy exclusive benefits that enhance their theme park experience. These perks not only include Early Theme Park Entry (for all Disney resort guests), but also Extended Evening Hours. The additional perk is only for deluxe level guests. It offers 2 hours of exclusive theme park time in select parks on select nights.
Guests can take advantage of complimentary transportation to the Disney parks. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is also within a quick 15–20-minute walk. Alternatively, boat service is offered to both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios from all the area hotels. Bus transportation is provided to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs and the waterparks-Typhon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.
