Yacht Club Resort

By: Author Heather Thomas

Published: November 21, 2017 Updated: December 14, 2021

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is a Deluxe Resort with stunning views, popular dining, and a fan-favorite swimming pool that guests can’t get enough of. Yacht Club is also located right next to Disney’s Beach Club Resort, which is accessible just by walking.

In this article

Located in the Epcot Resort Area, Yacht Club isn’t just within walking distance of the Beach Club, but Epcot itself. There is a path that leads directly to the International Gateway. What’s better than that?

It’s definitely a pricier resort, but for good reason. Based on location, sharing several amenities with Beach Club, just a boat ride away from Hollywood Studios, access to the Skyliner at Epcot, and much more, Yacht Club has a lot to offer. 

Plus, the New England-style resort sits on the water and truly is a gorgeous resort right on property. Here’s everything you need to know.

When it comes to checking in and out, you have a few options: at the front desk, online through the official Walt Disney World website, or via the My Disney Experience app.

The front desk is located in the lobby of the main building. Even though the front desk is there to assist guests, especially with checking in and checking out, all Disney World Resort guests are encouraged to check-in online  or by using MDE.

• Checking-Out : Currently, guests will automatically be checked out of their rooms. But, if you have unresolved charges to your hotel folio, you’ll need to visit the front desk.

Note: Guests also have the option of to chat virtually with resort Cast Members via MDE for any assistance. 

The lobby is a nice size, with plenty of seating. Ale & Compass Restaurant and Ale & Compass Lounge are nearby, along with the Crew’s Cup Lounge . 

Magical Express pickup and the bus stop are also right outside the main lobby, along with  luggage storage  for those who have checked out or are waiting to check in.

Dining options at Yacht Club

Yacht Club has a variety of dining options. You can find Quick Service and Table Service options, along with lounges and the Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, which is a popular place to snag some delicious ice cream. The Market at Ale & Compass does offer Mobile Order. 

Beaches & Cream Soda Shop and Ale & Compass Restaurant also offer Mobile Dine Check-In, meaning you’ll check-in using the My Disney Experience app rather than going to the host stand. When your table is ready, you’ll be notified to proceed to a specific location.

Ale & Compass Restaurant also has Table Service To Go , which allows guests to Mobile Order and take their meal back to their room. You can read more about the dining options below.

If you arrive at Walt Disney World by car — whether you’ve driven your own or rented on at the airport — you’re going to be joining the masses who navigate parking in the World.

Whether you’ve got questions about parking fees, trams and Monorail lines, or how not to lose your car in a sea of shiny vehicles, we’ve got the info you need!

Are Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Available at Disney Resorts?

At present, Walt Disney World promotes ChargePoint stations at just two Resorts.

• Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort has six spaces near Gran Destino Tower’s bus stop.
• Disney’s Wilderness Lodge has two stations near the handicap parking spaces and lobby.

Additionally, some Resorts have wall outlets available for charging. You’ll likely need to supply your own cable as these are standard wall outlets not designated ChargePoint stations.

• Kidani Village at Animal Kingdom Lodge, Timon level of the parking garage
• Fort Wilderness Cabins
• Old Key West, villa buildings
• Dolphin Resort, near valet

To use ChargePoint stations, guests need a credit card or a pre-ordered ChargePoint card . The cost is $0.35 per kilowatt hour with a minimum charge of $1.50. ChargePoint stations stop charging when the battery is fully charged, and drivers receive a ping when their car is ready.

Who parks for free at the Disney theme parks?

Annual Passholders  park at the theme parks during regular park hours free of charge. Have your pass or MagicBand and your photo ID ready when you approach the toll plaza.

All other guests pay to park at the theme parks.

WHICH GUESTS MUST PAY TO PARK at the Theme Parks and how much does it cost?

Non-Disney resort guests, or those staying off Disney property (with the exception of the above-mentioned passholders and program members), are charged to park a vehicle at the four major theme parks.

Guests pay for parking once per day and can move from park to park that day without paying again. Keep your parking receipt (received at the first park you went to that day) and show it to the cast member at the next park’s toll booths. You’ll be allowed to enter the parking lot without paying a second parking fee.

Daily parking charges for those required to pay for parking are:

• Passholders and Resort guests with free parking only pay additional $20-$25 for Preferred Parking (seasonal pricing)
• Standard Parking (Car or Motorcycle): $25
• Oversized Parking (Shuttle, Limo, Trailer, Bus, Tractor Trailer, Camper, or RV): $30

Are there ELECTRIC Vehicle CHARGING STATIONS Available at the Disney Theme Parks?

A number of ChargePoint charging stations are available in parking lots at all four theme parks.

• Magic Kingdom:  Five spaces; one space at the front of the Medical Parking Lot and four spaces at the front of the Zurg Parking Lot
• Epcot: Four stations in the Journey Parking Lot
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios:  four spaces at the front of the Mickey Parking Lot
• Animal Kingdom:  Four stations in the Medical Parking Lot

WHAT ABOUT PARKING AT OTHER DISNEY VENUES?

Parking at Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Winter Summerland Mini-Golf, Fantasia Gardens Mini-Golf, Fort Wilderness, Wide World of Sports and self-parking at Disney Springs is free to all guests, including those staying off-property.

Valet parking is also available at Disney Springs for a flat rate of $20. Note: Payment is collected at time of pick-up, and gratuity is not included in the cost.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (nine in total) are available at Disney Springs.

• Three on the 5th floor of the Orange Garage
• Three on the 5th floor of the Lime Garage
• Three spaces on the 3rd floor of the Grapefruit Garage

Self-parking for use of the entertainment and dining facilities at the BoardWalk’s entertainment area is also free. Note during peak periods parking may be reserved for BoardWalk Resort guests only.

Self-parking at the Disney Resorts for day visitors (guests not staying at the Resort) is free to all guests; however some resorts have seasonal parking restrictions. Increasingly, day guests are not being allowed entry to Resorts without a reservation for dining or recreation at the Resort.

Parking at any of the Resorts to gain access to the theme parks (and thus avoid paying theme park parking fees) is not allowed. You must show a photo ID when entering any Disney Resort. Some Disney Resorts may also ask for an Advance Dining Reservation number (or scan your MagicBand) for guests who are dining at the Resort before allowing access to the Resort parking lot.

Shades of Green charges $20 per day to park at the resort.

The Swan and Dolphin self-parking rate is $23 (plus tax) per exit or overnight, and Valet is $33 (plus tax) per exit or overnight.

WHAT ABOUT VALET PARKING AT THE RESORTS?

Valet parking is available at the Grand Floridian, Polynesian Village, Contemporary, Yacht Club, Beach Club, BoardWalk, Wilderness Lodge, and Animal Kingdom Lodge Resorts.

The valet parking fee at Walt Disney World Deluxe Resorts is $33 (including tax). Once paid, however, you can use valet parking for the entire day at any Resort that offers it without paying the fee again. Show the day’s valet receipt at the next Resort to avoid being charged again.

Tables in Wonderland Members may valet park free of charge when dining at any Disney Resort (and also the Swan and Dolphin) offering this service. Let the valet know you are parking with Tables in Wonderland. Upon return, show your card AND the receipt from the restaurant where you used the Tables in Wonderland card. Note: You may have to surrender the receipt to the valet, so be sure to ask your server for a duplicate copy if you need to retain one.

Valet parking is free of charge to all vehicles displaying a disabilities tag at Disney facilities offering valet service. Note: This does not apply at the Swan and Dolphin.

Valet parking at the Swan and Dolphin hotels is $33 + tax. If you are dining at one of the signature restaurants at the Swan and Dolphin request a validation from the hostess stand. Note: Valet parking at the Swan and Dolphin is not reciprocal with the Disney-owned Resorts. Disney Resorts’ valet receipts will not be honored by the Swan and Dolphin or vice versa.

Whether you pay for valet parking or receive it free as a perk, remember to tip your valet for taking or retrieving your vehicle.

For more information about valet parking at Walt Disney World, please visit AllEars’ Valet Parking page.

WHERE SHOULD GUESTS WITH DISABILITIES PARK?

Designated parking areas are available throughout Walt Disney World Resort for guests with disabilities. A valid disability parking permit is required.

Theme Park Parking

Guests with the ability to walk short distances and step onto courtesy trams should park in the main parking lots of Magic Kingdom park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Courtesy trams transport guests to each theme park’s main entrance.

Disability Parking Lots

Guests with mobility disabilities, including those traveling with personal wheelchairs, electric scooters, ECVs, or other mobility devices, should park in the Disability Parking Lots, located a short distance from the main entrance of each of the four theme parks. Note: Courtesy trams do not stop at these locations. You will need to drive or be pushed to the entrances from your parking space.

For further directions on parking options, inquire at the Auto Plaza located at the entrance of each of the Walt Disney World Theme Park Parking lots, or call guest services at (407) 824-2222.

Each of the four major theme parks, the water parks, Resorts, and all other Disney venues have special parking areas assigned for guests with disabilities. At the theme parks, ask for directions to those areas at the toll booths or ask the cast member directing parking in the lots. There is usually a blue stripe painted on the pavement that disabled guests can follow to the Disabled Parking Area. All other venues, Resorts, and restaurants have parking for disabled guests clearly marked with signs and symbols painted on the pavement.

Parking at Disney World: A Complete Guide to Theme Park and Resort Parking

UPDATE: This article was updated on February 27, 2024 to reflect new valet parking prices across Walt Disney World Resort. Al other parking prices remained the same. The next  anticipated change to parking prices is expected around October of 2024, but Disney can always surprise us.

Our guide to parking at Disney World covers everything you need to know about your parking options, from the cost to how it works at the resorts and theme parks to when and where to park.

Parking at Disney Resort Hotels

The first few days of 2023 brought welcome news for registered Guests of Walt Disney World Resort hotels: Resort Guests no longer have to pay an overnight parking fee at Disney owned/operated Resort Hotels.

Valet Parking

Resort Hotel valet parking, where available, costs $39 per night (inclusive of tax). Price may vary further at third-party hotels such as the Swan/Dolphin.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

You can now charge your electric vehicle in parking lots at select Disney Resort hotels. Guests can access them on a first-come, first-served basis. Ask a Cast Member for assistance if you cannot locate the charging stations.

• Disney’s Coronado Springs Resor t: 6 parking spaces for EVs next to ADA spaces in the general parking area
• Disney’s Riviera Resort : 2 parking spaces for EVs next to the ADA spaces in the general parking area
• Disney’s Wilderness Lodge : 2 parking spaces for EVs next to ADA spaces in the general parking area

Parking at Disney Theme Parks

Standard Parking at the Theme Parks

Disney Resort hotel Guests and selected Annual Passholders receive complimentary (free) standard theme park parking . Additionally, these registered Guests can upgrade to preferred parking for an additional fee (currently $15-$25 per day).

For those not staying at a Disney World Resort hotel, standard parking fees are $30 per day for cars or motorcycles. Oversized Vehicle Parking (shuttle, limo, RV, bus, camper, or tractor-trailer) is $35 per day.

Preferred Parking at Theme Parks 

Want to park closer to the front gates? Disney offers designated preferred parking lots near the entrances of the four theme parks.

The preferred parking fee for a car or motorcycle is $45-$55 per day. For guests staying in a Disney hotel, preferred parking is available for an additional $15-$25 per day. The price varies depending on season and date, and the cost includes sale tax.

One parking pass covers all four theme parks – Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Therefore, you only pay one fee and won’t be charged for parking at each additional lot if you park-hop.

There are complimentary trams at Walt Disney World theme parks, which transfer Guests from the theme park lots to the Main Entrance.

Numerous ChargePoint charging stations are available at Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs. A Cast Member can direct you to these charge ports, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Magic Kingdom : There are five parking spaces – one near the Medical Parking Lot and four near the Zurg Parking Lot.
• EPCOT : There are four parking spaces at the front of the Journey Parking Lot
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom : There are four spaces in the Medical Parking Lot
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios : There are four spaces at the front of the Mickey Parking Lot
• Disney Springs : There are nine parking spaces – three spots on the 3rd floor of the Grapefruit Garage, three spots on the 5th floor of the Lime Garage, and three spots on the 5th floor of the Orange Garage,

The service requires a credit card or pre-ordered ChargePoint card (available at chargepoint.com ). ChargePoint fees are $0.35 per kilowatt-hour with a minimum charge of $1.50 per service. The battery will stop charging as soon as it has been fully charged. ChargePoint will “ping” owners when their car is ready.

As outlined in the previous section, Coronado Springs, Riviera Resort, and Wilderness Lodge resorts also offer charging stations.

Parking at Disney’s Water Parks

All guests receive complimentary (free) parking at Disney’s two water parks – Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon . There are a few small parking lots, and all spots are within walking distance from the park entrance.

Parking at Disney Springs

Disney Springs offers free admission and also free self-parking. There are three parking garages with direct access to Disney Springs, along with several surface parking lots and spaces for Guests with disabilities.

We recommend the parking garages versus the surface lots in most cases.  Most locals will only park in the garages, and it’s not hard to see why.  First, the garages are shaded… a big bonus in the blazing Florida sun.  Second, they tend to be the closest parking options to to the primary clusters of shops and restaurants.  Finally, and no less important, they have a system of sensors which communicates how many spaces are available on each level.  There are even green lights over each individual open space so you don’t have to drive up and down the rows to find a spot (though sometimes a parked motorcycle can trick the sensors into thinking a space is empty).

It only takes a quick glance to find open spots | Image © Disney

Allow at least 60 minutes to arrive at Disney Springs when factoring in travel time, parking, and walking to your specific destination. You wouldn’t want to miss out on a reservation or show. Parking may also be available just a short walk away from Disney Springs if you follow directional signage.

As Disney Springs parking may be limited, remember that Guests staying at Disney World Resort Hotels can benefit from complimentary transportation to Disney Springs via Disney bus or boat. Even if you have your car with you, it may still make sense to utilize the convenience of Disney World transportation. Note that there is no direct transportation from any of the four theme parks to Disney Springs — you’ll need to make a transfer at a Disney resort hotel.

Parking at ESPN Wide World of Sports 

All Guests receive complimentary standard parking at ESPN Wide World of Sports.

Parking for Guests with Disabilities

Walt Disney World Resort has designated parking areas for Guests with disabilities. Standard parking rates apply, and disability parking permits are required.

Theme Park Parking for Guests with Disabilities

For guests who can only walk short distances, the most convenient parking lots are the main ones at Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Guests with disabilities can ask the parking attendant to park nearest the courtesy tram pick-up/drop-off point. The courtesy tram will then transport Guests to each theme park’s Main Entrance.

We recommend that Guests with mobility disabilities park in the Disability Parking Lots, which are close to the main entrances of Walt Disney World Resort’s four theme parks. Those who use wheelchairs, electric scooters, or other mobility devices are included in this category.

Guests can find more information about parking options at the Auto Plaza (located at each Disney World theme park entrance). You can also contact Guest Services at (407) 824-2222. Guests under 18 must have permission from their parents or guardians to call.

FAQ about Parking at Walt Disney World Resort

Listed below are some questions and answers about Disney World parking.

Do you need a car a Disney World?

Disney World offers free transportation via monorail , bus, boat, and Skyliner. Additionally, there are taxis, Ubers, and Lyfts all over the resort, and they are easily accessible if you’d prefer. So no, you certainly do not need a car at Disney World.

See our Disney Transportation Map , Closest Airport to Disney World , How to get to Disney World from Orlando Airport and How Much Does an Uber Cost from Orlando Airport to Disney pages for more information.

What are the benefits of having a car at Walt Disney World?

If you’re planning a Walt Disney World trip, you may wonder whether it’s worth renting or bringing your car. A few things need to consider, but having a car at Disney World can be pretty helpful. For one thing, it allows you more freedom in getting around. You’re not limited to Disney’s transportation options, which can sometimes be crowded and slow.

The most significant cost savings are the flights to and from Orlando. If you fly – but rent a car at the airport – you will not have to shuttle or taxi transportation costs to and from the airport.

Driving also allows you to visit other theme parks in Florida (such as Universal Orlando or Busch Gardens), Cape Canaveral, or the beach. Additionally, having a car allows you to shop and eat off Disney property, which can sometimes be cheaper than buying souvenirs and merchandise inside the parks.

Of course, there are downsides to having a car as well. Gas and parking at Disney World can be expensive, and driving in busy areas can be stressful. And with Uber/Lyft and taxis readily available, you already have alternatives to Disney transportation.

Ultimately, whether or not you rent a car is up to you and your family’s needs and preferences.

Can you park at Disney Parks for free?

Registered Guests staying overnight at a Disney World Resort property get free parking at Disney’s theme parks (standard parking only; you’ll pay extra for preferred parking).

For non-registered Guests, parking a car at Disney World parks will cost $30 for standard parking and $45-$55 for preferred parking.

All Guests, including those staying off-property, have free parking at Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Fort Wilderness, Wide World of Sports, Winter Summerland Mini-Golf, Fantasia Gardens Mini-Golf, and self-parking at Disney Springs.

Can I park at a Disney Resort without staying there?

Yes, you can usually park at a Disney resort without staying there. You may have to explain the reason for your visit to the guard (and you could be turned away during busier times if you don’t have a reservation for either the hotel or one of its on-site restaurants) — but there is no charge for standard self-parking at Disney Resort hotels while guests enjoy dining, recreation, shopping, and entertainment.

Do I need to register my car in advance?

It’s not necessary to let Disney know in advance that you’ll be parking on the property.

Is Disney Parking Cash Only?

There are many payment options for parking at Disney World, including credit cards, debit cards, Disney Gift Cards , Google Pay, and Apple Pay. Cash payments are also accepted for parking, however.

What if your family/group has more than one car?

In most cases, parking multiple vehicles at your Disney hotel is not a problem. Just let the front desk know you need more than one parking space.

At Disney theme parks, parking fees are per vehicle.

How far is the walk from my parking spot to my Disney hotel room?

If you’re driving your own car, it’s essential to know how far the walk is from your parking spot to your hotel room. This can vary depending on which hotel you’re staying at, but generally speaking, the Value and Moderate hotels have parking lots surrounding them, and you should be able to park within a 2-minute walk of your room.

The Deluxe resorts typically have just one large parking lot set at a distance from the main hotel entrance, so depending on where you park, the walk to your room could be anywhere from 0.15 to 0.35 miles.

Where do you rent a car for Disney World?

If you’re staying at a hotel on Disney property, you have a few options for getting around. You can take advantage of the complimentary Disney transportation service, bring your own car and park in one of the resort’s parking lots, or rent a car from one of the car rental companies.

If you’re flying to Walt Disney World, renting a car at Orlando International Airport is the easiest option. All major car rental agencies ( Hertz , Avis, Budget, Alamo, etc.) have a presence at the airport, so you’ll have no problem finding one.

If you only need a vehicle for a couple of days during your trip, you might want to rent a car from an agency at Disney’s Car Care Center .  They’ll even send a shuttle to pick you up from certain locations around Disney World!

We highly recommend contacting The Vacationeer to help you find a rental car and book your trip (at no additional cost to you) if you need a car for a short period to travel off-property.

Where are the Gas Stations at Disney World?

Disney World has a few gas stations, as well as more off-site. The following are a few of the more popular ones in the resort area:

• Magic Kingdom Speedway (located at 1000 Car Car Drive, close to the Transportation and Ticket Center and the Magic Kingdom Toll Plaza)
• Epcot Resorts Speedway (near Epcot Resorts Blvd, just off Buena Vista Drive)
• Disney Springs Speedway (near Disney Springs)

Conclusion: Parking at Disney World

Whether you are a Florida resident and just coming for the day or are flying into Orlando and looking to rent a car, it is crucial to understand Disney World’s parking policies before arriving so you know what to expect.

If you’re also considering visiting Universal instead of (or in addition to) Disney World , be sure to also check out our guide to Parking at Universal Orlando .

We hope our article has helped you make sense of Disney World parking. Enjoy your trip!

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Review

Hoping for a chic place to stay at Disney World where the kids can still feel at home? At Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, sophisticated style, refined restaurants, and an epic hotel waterpark make for the perfect stay for families and couples alike.  

So, how does the Walt Disney World Yacht Club Resort compare to the other deluxe hotels? Is this spendy stay worth the price of admission? Grab your captain’s hat and a compass as we set sail to find out. (Updated September 7, 2022)

Staying at the Disney World Yacht Club Resort

Yacht clubs may typically be for the rich and famous, but you don’t need to be the owner of a swanky ship to stay at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. Overlooking Crescent Lake towards Disney’s BoardWalk , it’s the more dignified stay of the Disney Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, perfect for an adult Disney trip , kid-friendly perks like the best Disney hotel pool, and a convenient location in the middle of the Epcot & Hollywood Studios Resort Area . 

With quaint grey buildings trimmed in white and a lighthouse guiding Friendship Boats to the marina, this deluxe resort is styled like a stately yacht club along New England’s coastline. Only a short walk from the International Gateway entrance at Epcot with a covetable spot on the Disney Skyliner route, it’s an ideal stay for families hoping to maximize their time at Hollywood Studios or adults stumbling back to the room after a day spent drinking around the world . 

Disney World Yacht Club Rooms & Suites

The Walt Disney World Yacht Club Resort touts a 4.5 on TripAdvisor. As with other deluxe resorts at Disney World, it has a variety of room types to choose from including standard rooms, Disney club-level rooms , and even a 2-bedroom suite. If you’re picky about the view and don’t want to get stuck with uninspired scenes of the resort’s rooftops, choose from a relaxing garden-view or water-view room instead.

A far cry from the outdated, on-the-nose guestrooms of the past, rooms here use more contemporary elements like dark woods, strong lines, crisp linens, and nautical touches for a more refined take on classic coastal style. With sky-chart-inspired curtains, a mirror reminiscent of a porthole, and a feature wall with menswear flair, a stay here feels like stepping into the captain’s quarters on a posh mega yacht. 

In general, all standard rooms and suites at the Yacht Club come with the following amenities: a hairdryer, iron, ironing board, mini-refrigerator, coffee maker, in-room safe, telephone with voicemail, and free Wi-Fi. 

Standard View Room

• Comes with 1 king bed or 1 king bed & 1 day bed or 2 queen beds & 1 day bed or 1 queen bed & 1 day bed & 1 twin-sized sleeper chair
• Sleeps between 2 to 5 adults

Rooms with Club-Level Service at the Walt Disney World Yacht Club

Club-level guestrooms at Disney’s Yacht Club offer the same handsome interiors and thoughtful amenities (see above for details) as the standard rooms and suites, plus a DVD player, as well as the following benefits at the Regatta Club: complimentary access to the health club, complimentary fax assistance, complimentary newspapers in the Regatta Club, evening turndown service, and access to Disney Signature Services and a personalized front desk. Club-level guests are also able to access the Regatta Club with their key when refreshments are served between 7 AM and 10 PM.

Disney Yacht Club Resort Prices

Ready to book your reservation at the Walt Disney World Yacht Club Resort? You’re probably wondering how much it’ll cost you to stay there. With sophisticated rooms, an unbeatable location, and arguably the best hotel pool at Disney World, a night here doesn’t come cheap.

In fact, even if you stay in the most basic room of the bunch during the slowest time of year, you’ll still end up dropping at least $500 a night. So, if you’re traveling on a shoestring, one of Disney’s All-Star Resorts might be more your speed. Or save on your hotel stay without skimping on little Disney luxuries, stay at one of the charming Disney Port Orleans Resorts or another moderate resort instead. 

If you’re ready to treat you and your loved ones to a stay at Disney’s Yacht Club, room rates will depend on a few different things like what time of year you’re traveling, how many people are staying, and what you want to see when you look out your window. For example, while watching the Christmas fireworks from your water-view room on the Regatta Club level will run you almost $1,400, staying during the slow season in a room with a less-than-picturesque view of the roof will net you around $900 in savings . 

With rates spanning from the mid-$500s during the slow season to the mid-to-high $900s, basic standard-view rooms without access to the Regatta Club are the most affordable option. Contrastingly, if your clan is large or you’re looking to splurge, prices for a 2-bedroom suite with keys to the club-level lounge start in the low $2,000s and top out in the high $3,000s. 

Below are some examples of room rate ranges for stays in 2023 , arranged by starting price, for each of the room types available at the Yacht Club (expect slightly lower rates in 2022 ) :

• Standard View Room: $542 to $986
• King Bed: $549 to $991
• Garden or Woods View Room: $586 to $1,034
• Water View Room: $684 to $1,118
• Standard View – Club Level: $796 to $1,378
• Garden View – Club Level: $828 to $1,398
• Water View – Club Level: $939 to $1,566
• 2 Bedroom Suite: $2,182 to $3,877

Disney Yacht Club Hotel Amenities

Although room rates at Disney’s Yacht Club are on the spendy side, as a deluxe resort , you’ll have access to some of the best hotel amenities on Disney property. Unlike staying at Disney’s Art of Animation or one of the other value resorts, there are more than enough things to do at the Yacht Club at Walt Disney World to keep you entertained all vacation long.

Disney Yacht Club Dining

Just like the elegant yacht clubs that dot the New England coast and the rest of the United States, Disney World’s Yacht Club Resort offers an array of tempting dining options. As this is one of the more grown-up resorts at Walt Disney World, don’t expect any seafaring-themed Disney dinner shows or character dining starring Donald Duck in his iconic sailor outfit here. Instead, you’ll find everything from a grab-and-go market to a prime steakhouse.   

Best of all, with the Beach Club right next door and Disney’s BoardWalk only a short stroll away, you’re minutes away from a smorgasbord of other Disney World restaurants that are perfect for pleasing even the pickiest of eaters. 

Ale & Compass Lounge

Attached to the table-service restaurant of the same name, the Ale & Compass Lounge is a distinguished spot to grab a drink after a long day exploring the parks. With its dark blue paneling, plush furniture, and tin ceiling accents, you almost feel as if you’re in a classy cruise ship lounge. Stop by for elevated appetizers like Lobster and Corn Chowder and a Bacon and Vermont Cheddar Burger; stay for the old-school and updated craft cocktails . 

Ale & Compass Restaurant

With both a to-go menu and a handsome, expansive dining room, the Disney Ale and Compass Restaurant is a welcome stop whether fueling up for a day of adventures or dropping anchor after hours in the parks. Serving up both breakfast and dinner, this table-service restaurant styled after an inviting lighthouse is a beacon for hungry guests both day and night.

In the morning, tuck into seaside breakfast favorites like Shrimp and White Cheddar Grits, Crab Cake Benedict, or a Maine Lobster Roll. At dinnertime, dig into a selection of comfort food classics with a coastal twist like New England Seafood Pot Pie and Short Rib “French Dip” Flatbread. 

Crew’s Cup Lounge

With its warm wood beams, Craftsman-style elements, and a convenient location next door to the Yachtsman Steakhouse, Disney’s Crew’s Cup Lounge is a cozy place for a drink before heading to dinner or on your way back to the room. While you could just come for a glass of wine or a boozy coffee cocktail, this hotel bar also offers an extensive menu with dishes from the neighboring steakhouse, making this an excellent alternative if you can’t score a reservation. 

The Market at Ale & Compass

Serving up breakfast, lunch, and dinner – as well as a substantial selection of Disney souvenirs, snacks, and sundries – The Market at Ale & Compass is the place to go for a fast meal at Disney’s Yacht Club. This quick-service restaurant serves up pretty standard AM fare such as Mickey Waffles and breakfast sandwiches in the morning before transitioning to light bites like sandwiches and salads in the afternoons and evenings. 

Yachtsman Steakhouse

No yacht club in the Hamptons is complete without a ritzy steakhouse slinging surf-and-turf favorites. Warm and welcoming with seaworthy touches like knotty pine and porthole-inspired windows, the Yachtsman Steakhouse feels more laidback than stuffy, although a dress code is required (no flip-flops here!). 

Cut into carnivorous classics like the 28-oz Porterhouse for Two or the Roasted Prime Rib or stick to fresh-from-the-sea fare like Seafood Cioppino or a Chilled Admiral’s Tower for Two overflowing with lobster, crab, mussels, and more. End your meal on a sweet note with desserts like Yachtsman’s Chocolate Cake or Crème Brûlée. 

Disney Yacht Club Pools 

Like to get in the water as much as you like to get on the water? Well, you’ve come to the right place. One of the resorts with the best hotel pools at Disney World , Yacht Club is home to the only waterpark at a Walt Disney World hotel: Stormalong Bay. Sprawling across 3 glorious acres on the shores of Crescent Lake, this aquatic paradise is the perfect spot for a beach day – no trip to the coast necessary.  

Splash down the 230-foot-long waterslide, let your cares drain away along the lazy river or in one of the whirlpool spas, sink your toes into the sand-bottomed pool, or even discover the ruins of the resort’s resident shipwreck. Yachting is all about luxury, so splurge on a full-service cabana for you and your crew (reservations required). 

As you can imagine, Stormalong Bay can get pretty busy during the day. To skip the crowds, try visiting one of the 3 different leisure pools shared by Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resort. 

Other Recreation at Disney’s Yacht Club 

The WDW Yacht Club Resort may be the Disney hotel with the best pool, but there are plenty of other recreational activities to keep you busy all vacation long. While you don’t need the keys to your own Sunseeker to gain entrance to Disney’s Yacht Club hotel, you can rent some out by the half-hour for everything from a 2-person Sea Raycer to a 10-person pontoon boat from the resort marina – one of our top things to do outside the theme parks . Or for other on-the-water fun, go on a guided fishing excursion or pirate adventure cruise instead. 

Rather keep both feet on dry land? The youngest resort guests will love watching some of their favorite Disney flicks during Movies Under the Stars or toasting marshmallows around the campfire, while grown-ups can keep their exercise routine intact on the jogging path or during an intense match on the volleyball or tennis courts.  

Getting cabin fever? Take some time to explore the resort’s incomparable location. The Disney World Yacht and Beach Club is just a short walk from the tasty restaurants, entertaining nightlife, and turn-of-the-century appeal of Disney’s BoardWalk complex. Or for wholesome thrills the whole family can enjoy, work on your swing at Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course across the street from the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resorts. 

Disney Yacht Club Merchandise Locations

For those searching for that perfect souvenir, set a course for The Market at Ale & Compass. This one-stop shop is a convenient spot to pick up forgotten essentials, Disney merchandise, and provisions for a day in the parks. As the location of the resort’s quick-service restaurant, table-service restaurant, and to-go outlet, it’s also an ideal pitstop before cruising to the parks or back to your room. 

Disney Yacht Club FAQs

Want to know more about Disney’s Yacht Club Resort? Read on for answers to some commonly asked questions. 

Is Disney Yacht Club kid-friendly?

Yes! Despite the more grown-up vibe, Disney’s Yacht Club can be a great place to stay for families with children of all ages. While the guestrooms aren’t exactly overflowing with pixie dust, you’ll still find plenty of kid-friendly activities to keep little ones feeling the magic, from splashing around in Stormalong Bay to watching Disney Movies Under the Stars. And if there aren’t enough options to please the picky eaters in your life at the Ale & Compass, there definitely will be at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop next door at Disney’s Beach Club. 

When was Disney Yacht Club refurbished?

Rooms at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort were renovated rather recently in 2017, a welcome update from the previous guestrooms’ dated design touches like nautical headboards and white-painted furniture. 

Can you see fireworks from Disney Yacht Club?

Yup! While you won’t be able to watch the entire show, thanks to its covetable location in the heart of the Epcot and Hollywood Studios Resort Area, you will be able to catch some of the higher fireworks from both nighttime spectaculars. In fact, aside from the beach at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort , it’s also one of our top spots to watch the Disney World fireworks outside the parks . Just head to the resort’s lighthouse on Crescent Lake. If you’re lucky, you may even be able to catch glimpses of the show from the comfort of your hotel room.  

Can you walk from Yacht Club to Hollywood Studios? 

Yes! If you’d rather not take the bus, Friendship Boat, or Disney Skyliner , there is a walking path that connects the Epcot Resort Area to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Roughly 1-mile long or around a 15 to 20-minute walk, the walkway runs from between Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort to the main entrance to Hollywood Studios. 

How long is the walk to Epcot?

Walking to the International Gateway entrance at Epcot from Disney’s Yacht Club Resort will only take around 10 to 15 minutes depending on your pace. If you’re not in a hurry, you can also enjoy a leisurely 20-minute ride from the hotel to the park on one of the Friendship Boats . 

How long is the bus ride from Yacht Club to Magic Kingdom? Animal Kingdom?

Taking the Disney bus from the Yacht Club to Magic Kingdom typically takes around 20 minutes, as does the bus to Animal Kingdom . If you’ve really got some time on your hands and are looking to take the scenic route, you can also take the Monorail from the front of Epcot to Magic Kingdom Park.

However, as you will need to walk all the way through World Showcase and Future World just to reach the Monorail, this hourlong route definitely isn’t for the faint of heart or those short on time. Keep in mind that you will need a park ticket (and currently, also a park reservation) to get to the Epcot Monorail from Disney’s Yacht Club. 

Well, crew, that concludes our cruise around Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. With its adult ambiance, convenient location, classy style, delicious restaurants, and a boatload of recreational activities (including the best hotel pool at Disney World), it’s an excellent choice for everyone from families with children (especially older kids and teens) to couples. 

While you’re there, make the most of your time at the resort’s two closest parks with our 1-day plans for Epcot and Hollywood Studios . Or since you indulged in a deluxe resort, why not save some cash with our discounted Walt Disney World tickets .

The Yacht Club Resort is a Siamese sister to the Beach Club Resort. Both share the common theme of turn-of-the-century New England. The resort's brightly colored clapboard exteriors with gingerbread details look like a well-cared for club on Martha's Vineyard...albeit a great deal larger. The Yacht Club side is a bit more so, but both resorts tend to the formal side. Hardwood floors, wainscoting, and brightly polished brass nautical knick knacks and decor, all lend themselves to the sea-side themeing.

The Yacht Club Resort is well-known as one of WDW's premier hostelries. The resort is located just a short walk from Epcot and directly across from Disney's Boardwalk and adjacent, of course, to the Beach Club Resort. This provides many options for meals and recreation right in close proximity to your hotel room.

Hotel with the best pool complex at Disney World: Review of Disney's Yacht Club Resort

Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here .

When you think of a Florida theme park hotel, I'd bet you probably don't think of deep, rich colors, hardwoods and a refined turn-of-the-century, New England-style nautical-themed resort.

And when you think of a hotel pool, you likely don't conjure up images of a 3-acre waterpark complete with a life-size shipwreck replica that is home to a long, twisting, turning waterslide.

But all this, and actually a lot more, is precisely what you'll find at what has to be one of the best hotels at Disney World , Disney's Yacht Club Resort. In fact, when we picked this resort for a short Florida getaway, we actually considered not spending any days in the Disney theme parks to go along with it. We amended that plan for one day at Epcot, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to do an entire vacation here without getting on a single ride. In this case, the resort could be the destination.

For more TPG news delivered each morning to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter .

Disney's Yacht Club (1990) opened in the same era of rapid Disney World development as Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort (1988), and both share a type of ocean theme. However, the two couldn't be more different from one another. With just over 600 rooms (compared to more than 1,500 at Caribbean Beach), this deluxe Disney resort offers guests a vacation within a vacation both in terms of comfort and amenities.

After a recent stay at the property, it was all I could do to not add another night when the time to check out unfortunately arrived. And while not everything is postcard-perfect at this Disney resort at the moment, I promised myself (and my kids) we'd be back. It's that special.

Let's start with some bad news: Disney's Yacht Club is often expensive.

This is one of Disney's deluxe resorts and there is no Disney Vacation Club wing of this hotel. This means you can't rent DVC points to potentially book a room for less the way you can at places such as Polynesian Village Resort. (Note that you can do this at the neighboring Beach Club Resort.)

If you can snag a room during a sale or with a solid discount, you can probably get the rate down to $350-$400 per night, but it's unlikely to go much lower. It's common for rooms here to go for $500 and up, especially once standard rooms are sold out and you need to pay even more for a water view, which is precisely what I had to do. The view itself is (in my mind) not actually worth an upcharge, but sometimes that's all that's available.

While I booked during a 30% off sale, my water-view room at the Yacht Club still came to just over $500 per night. There are some ways to use points for Disney World vacations , such as using miles from the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card to offset the expense at a 1 cent = 1 mile valuation , but there's no way to get outsize value for your credit card points at Disney properties.

If you do decide to book a Disney resort like this one, it can make sense to go through a Disney Vacation Planner as that doesn't add to your cost and they do a great job staying on the lookout for sales and discounts and keeping track of all those ever-changing components of a trip to Disney World.

No doubt it sounds a touch insane to spend $500 for a theme park-adjacent hotel room, but the location is one reason why Disney's Yacht Club commands that rate (and often sells out).

This hotel is just a 5-10 minute walk from the World Showcase entrance of Epcot. It is also within walking distance of Disney's Hollywood Studios, or you can hop on a boat to take you there since that walk is a bit longer.

Being so close to Epcot also means that the Skyliner stop at Epcot is within very easy reach, opening up even more Disney locations such as the Riviera Resort , Caribbean Beach Resort and more.

Yacht Club is also an incredibly short stroll away from the BoardWalk, which is home to even more shops and restaurants.

I'm happy to save money and stay off Disney property on the first night of the trip, or for trips when we aren't going for an all-in Disney family vacation. But when we do go all-in on Disney World, I want to be in the "Disney bubble." Staying at Yacht Club puts you in the heart of the Disney bubble, well-cushioned in your own deluxe nautical-themed space, but just an arm's reach from lots of great Disney dining and entertainment options.

Related: Guide to visiting Walt Disney World

We arrived at Disney's Yacht Club in the early afternoon, after starting the vacation off with a character brunch at Topolino's Terrace at the top of the nearby Disney Riviera Resort . (Which I highly recommend you add to your to-do list if you love characters and can snag a reservation.)

Since we arrived a few hours before official check-in time, I didn't have high hopes our room would be ready, given the era of pandemic precautions, but that became the first pleasant surprise of the trip when Room 2077 was ready and waiting for us several hours early.

Check-in is also where we were informed that while room service has returned as an option for breakfast and dinner, regular housekeeping had not yet returned to Disney resorts . Towels and trash would be attended to every other day. For our two-night stay, that meant there would be no formal housekeeping services, though we could ask for more towels and such.

If you are able to manage stairs, you can easily access the second level of the resort — where we stayed — via the lobby without using the elevators.

In fact, heading up the lobby stairs reveals some fun touches, such as a ship's wheel, among other themed decor.

Our room was a bit of a walk down several hallways, so if that's an issue, ask for a room closer to the lobby if available.

Inside a room at Disney's Yacht Club, you aren't going to find bright colors, Disney characters or loud decor. If that's what you want, I recommend Disney's Art of Animation , which has plenty of color and characters.

Yacht Club was renovated in recent years to appeal not only to traditional Disney vacationers but also to conventiongoers who frequently stay at the resort during normal times. And in this case, everyone won with a redesign that maintained the overall theme but upgraded the offerings.

The rooms still carry out the resort's high-end nautical theme, but in a way that is elegant and more refined than the previous 1990s-era version.

Like with other Disney resort upgrades, the beds are now raised and the floors are now hard instead of carpet. As Disney renovated rooms across its properties, this has been the standard it is changing to.

There's a pullout sofa that can be used as a sleeper and a small writing desk.

Most notably, there were outlets everywhere. We travel with a lot of things that need charging and we didn't come close to using them all up. Some furnishings may be made to look like turn-of-the-century New England, but they are loaded with modern-day power.

The two queen beds were perfect for a good night's rest after a busy day at Disney.

In the room, you'll also find a minifridge and Keurig.

We were impressed with the amount of storage the room had in the form of shelves, racks, cubbies and drawers. We were able to stay far more organized than normal with a family's worth of stuff, thanks to the storage options.

There was a balcony with two chairs that overlooked a well-manicured green lawn and technically some water. Remember, this was a pricier water-view room after all.

I adored the drapes, both because they did a great job keeping light out in the morning but also because they were adorable and perfect for the room, featuring constellations.

Like at many other similar Disney resorts, the bathroom had a vanity with two sinks located in a cubby between the main room and the bathroom, so it could be used while someone was in the shower.

The bathroom area had a sliding door for both the room itself and the tub/shower combo. There were plenty of Disney H2O+ bath products in the shower and bathroom area.

We found the room incredibly nice, but do know that it doesn't take much to hear what's going on in the hallway or other rooms around you. If you like total silence, you'll be well-served to pack some earplugs and a white noise app to go along with your Mickey ears.

The Yacht Club room is plenty comfortable, but that's probably not why you stay at Disney's Yacht Club — it's certainly not why we paid what we did to stay here.

Stormalong Bay pool complex

What makes this resort so special is the 3-acre pool complex shared with the neighboring Disney Beach Club Resort.

Dubbed Stormalong Bay, this pool complex has everything from a 230-foot waterslide to a lazy river, whirlpool, shallow splash area, toddler slide, hot tubs and more. It even has a sandy bottom in some of the areas, which feels so much nicer on your tired Disney feet than a hard surface.

This pool area is almost a mini-waterpark and certainly worthy of planning some time in your schedule just to enjoy it. Right now, it can get busy to the point where there is no way to get in during peak times.

However, we had a blast also going late at night after the parks closed, when there were very few people in the pool at all. While the hours can vary, it was open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. during our stay.

There are four cabanas at the pool you can book if you want extra space and service, but you need to reserve well in advance if you want those because they go quickly.

Getting into the pool requires verification you are a resort guest and you're then assigned the colored wristband of the day to wear. There's plenty of towels at the pool, as well as a small army of lifeguards keeping a close watch on the various areas of the pool.

Stormalong Bay is adjacent to Hurricane Hanna's Waterside Bar & Grill, so it's pretty easy to pop over there and order a snack or cocktail. The $12 seafood roll turned out to be a perfect snack for us.

My 11-year-old gave the $6 Lava Smoothie (made of raspberry, coconut and pineapple flavors) high marks and my $14 Frosé was excellent.

Whether your group is made up of adults, some teens, tweens or toddlers, this pool area is truly excellent, especially if you build in some time to enjoy it when most people are sleeping, eating or in the Disney parks.

Evening movies on the beach

Several nights per week at 8 p.m., a Disney movie is shown along the "beach" at the Yacht Club. This is free to enjoy and the week we were there the films showing were "Zootopia," "Sleeping Beauty," "A Bug's Life" and "Disneynature: Earth."

I'll never fully understand who needs a treadmill at Disney when it's normal to walk 10 miles a day in the park, but Yacht Club has those and more in its gym that overlooks Stormalong Bay.

Magical Express Bus

Until the end of 2021, if you want to take the included Magical Express Bus transportation to and from the Orlando airport, that's available to those who stay at this and any other full-fledged Disney resort hotel. If you decide to self-park at Yacht Club, it's going to cost you $25 per night. The upside is that the fee also gives you access to parking at the Disney theme parks at no additional charge.

The Magical Express Bus stop is right in front of the hotel entrance, and the bus stop to go to the various Disney theme parks is just to the side of the hotel entrance.

Still-closed amenities

If you remember when I mentioned there are still some small bumps at Yacht Club, here's where they begin.

Those looking for the ultimate, once-in-a-lifetime Yacht Club experience may want to hold off a tiny bit longer if you want to experience all the amenities. The Club Lounge remains closed, as does one of the main sit-down restaurants.

On top of that, the onsite Ship Shape Salon is still closed, along with the Lafferty Place Arcade.

Normally, you can rent boats or even sign your kids up for a pirate-themed adventure that leaves from the dock outside of the Yacht Club, but all of that is also still on pause.

We had plenty to do for a few days without any of those amenities, but just keep in mind that some things remain shuttered for now.

Ale & Compass Restaurant

Just off the lobby of Yacht Club is a dark, subdued restaurant called Ale & Compass. While you do need reservations to eat breakfast or dinner here, it's one of the easier reservations to get at Disney World.

Described as "Yankee comfort food," this menu has options such as lobster-and-corn chowder; a fantastic salad called the Ale & Compass salad with additions such as pumpkin seeds and beets; steak; pasta; and a burger with bacon and Vermont cheddar served with thick fries.

Getting good photos in the dark restaurant was next to impossible, but we enjoyed our salad and burger.

And while we didn't eat breakfast here, I've heard good things about the dark chocolate waffles.

Our service here was quite friendly but incredibly slow. The wait for our reservation was pretty extensive, followed by another wait for a server to arrive at our table to start the meal-ordering process. This is likely at least in part due to the restaurant having a brisk business of to-go orders that you can make from the Disney app, along with the other sit-down restaurant at the hotel remaining closed.

Related: These are the best restaurants at Disney World

Ale & Compass Lounge

Another alternative to the restaurant is the adjacent Ale & Compass Lounge, which also has a sleek, updated, but pretty dark look once day turns to night.

In the back of the lounge is a bar, with the front portion offering a variety of seating options and a reduced menu that still includes the burger and chowder.

The Market at Ale & Compass

In the gift shop area of the hotel is the Market at Ale & Compass, where you can order grab-and-go options in the Disney app.

We tried the $12 breakfast bowl that had a little bit of everything on it and was actually almost enough food for myself and two kids for a quick pre-park breakfast.

The $7 ham and cheese breakfast sandwich on a pretzel roll also looked really solid.

In the afternoon and evening, you'll find a variety of sandwiches, a hot dog and a panini on the menu.

Beaches and Cream Soda Shop

If you're going to splurge cash on staying at the Yacht Club, I highly recommend also splurging some calories at Beaches and Cream. You're going to need to make a reservation here well in advance (dining reservations are accepted 60 days before your trip) or get very lucky.

We planned our trip pretty close-in and were never able to snag advance reservations, but got lucky with timing that they had an outdoor table available for us to order the most exciting item on the menu ... the Kitchen Sink.

This $35 sink of ice cream is made of eight scoops (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cookies and cream and mint) along with every single topping in the house. Oh, and there's also an entire can of whipped cream on top.

It's epic, huge, ridiculous and a lot of fun.

The three of us barely put a dent in it but certainly had fun trying.

There are more regular-sized ice cream options on the menu, too, but if you're doing a once-in-a-lifetime trip, try this once-in-a-lifetime dessert.

Should you want more than just sugar for your meal, this is also where you'll find burgers, sandwiches, chili and other 1950s classic-style treats.

Yachtsman Steakhouse

This second sit-down restaurant has not yet reopened, but when it does, this is where you can go for those post-convention expensed sales dinners ... or a very nice meal out for two. The menu features a $135 seafood tower, prime porterhouse, lobster, filet mignon, elk, lobster and other similar entrees that start around $50.

Overall impressions

I'm a total and complete sucker for a well-themed, well-located Disney World resort. Resorts such as this one, along with Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, Disney's Wilderness Lodge, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and others, have me hook, line and wallet.

For me, the resort hotel isn't just a place to sleep at night, it's also a destination much like the theme parks themselves. I enjoy the scent in the lobby, the storyline of the property, the Disney touches throughout and the convenience of being fully immersed in Disney magic.

While my kids vetoed the idea, I'd have been totally happy having Disney's Yacht Club Resort serve as our actual final destination for the weekend with no park time at all. However, since it is such an easy walk to Epcot, adding that park on was actually a whole lot of fun, too.

If what you want is just a decent bed close to the parks, don't stay here. You're probably overpaying to stay at Yacht Club if you don't truly value the Stormalong Bay pool area. You can stay at the next-door Disney Swan and Dolphin for a fraction of the cash if you're just after location.

And right now, with some amenities still closed, I don't recommend staying here if you are going to be upset when things aren't 100% full service and perfect. The prices are as high as ever to match demand, so don't expect a reduced price to match the reduced amenities.

But if you can overlook a few things and what you want is a fun, slightly grown-up hotel theme, a great location, access to the best resort pool at Disney World and easy access to multiple restaurants, Disney's Yacht Club Resort is now officially one of my favorite Disney hotels — and one that I can't wait to return to in the coming years.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
