History
Robert A.M. Stern opened Disney's Yacht Club in 1990 as a 621-room New England yacht-club hotel at Walt Disney World, gray shingles and an observatory cupola, sharing Stormalong Bay with the Beach Club and a walk to Epcot's International Gateway.
The setting
Disney's Yacht Club Resort sits toward the southeast of Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista. Walt Disney World is not a city neighborhood. It is a private hospitality landscape the size of a county, and this cluster is the deluxe layer: hotels Disney built as destinations, not overflow. 21 miles from Orlando International Airport.
