Resort News: Yacht Club, Ale and Compass Reopening Date and Details!


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


Disney’s Yacht Club is set to reopen later this month! We have all the details on the dining (including the popular Ale & Compass!) and amenities that will be available!

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

Disney’s Yacht Club is a deluxe resort within walking distance of Epcot. It is located right next to Disney’s Beach Club Resort and across the water from Disney’s BoardWalk Resort.

The resort has been closed since March since there are no DVC rooms located here.

That is all about to change, however, because Yacht Club reopens later this month!

Reopening Dates and Details for Restaurants and Shops

Disney will begin welcoming Guests to Yacht Club on August 24, which is next week! Since Yacht Club is connected to Beach Club, some of the restaurants are already open.

Beaches & Cream Soda Shop and Martha’s Vineyard are already open. The Market at Ale & Compass will reopen on August 24 along with the resort.

Ale & Compass Restaurant and Lounge will reopen a few days earlier than the resort – August 20. That’s tomorrow!

Beach Club Marketplace will reopen on August 23. The Disney website also states that select offerings will instead be available at the Solarium.

Finally, Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar and Grill will reopen on August 24. However, only the bar portion will be open for Guests.

Hours of operation will be provided for Guests upon check-in.

Reopening Details for Activities and Transportation

One of the best feature pools in all of Disney World is Stormalong Bay, which Yacht Club and Beach Club both share. I have good news for those visiting!

Stormalong Bay will reopen on August 24!

Additionally, Admiral Pool and all poolside activities will resume open reopening.

The fitness center, sports courts, and fishing excursions will also be available for Guests to enjoy! Movies Under the Stars will also take place at Disney’s Yacht Club.

Transportation will also resume upon reopening.

Bus transportation is available from this Disney Resort hotel to Magic Kingdom park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park and the Disney Springs area.

The Disney Skyliner aerial gondolas are available to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It is a short walk from Yacht Club to the International Gateway at Epcot. From there, Guests can get on the Skyliner and head to Hollywood Studios.
