Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

[Llama mama]

Ashamed to admit I have never actually eaten at Cape May. I know I could look this up in shorter time than it took to write this, but how does the new dinner plus crab leg per pound add on cost compare to the prior price?

Probably not good considering before it was all you can eat crab legs and now you are paying per pound plus base rate of the meal. I believe I paid less than 65 a person when we went .

It was probably 4 years ago when we ate dinner here and it was around $50 if I remember correctly. Not my favorite, but breakfast is wonderful!

It really is a terrible value compared to previous offerings. Not sure what the appeal is without the crab legs for me. I’m second guessing a dinner res now.

Hmm. .
Presently, I have an ADR at II Mulino next door at the Swan. Wondering if I should drop it for Cape May if I am able??? I have never eaten at either restaurant. Just when I thought I had it all figured out.

Not my thing, but my wife and father could chow down on some crab legs like nothing else. Seems like that could get pretty costly pretty quick.

Allears shows the previous dinner price as $55 per adult.

I will definitely book a few breakfasts but I will pass on the dinner.
As someone posted previously , I will stalk the site late Thursday night and try at 5am CST on Friday . I feel slightly bad for all the regular dining openings that morning because the new offerings are going to flood the system.......

I’m pretty sure the $29 a pound for the crab legs will slow the dinner reservations way down.
I’m glad my family and I don’t eat them.

I have some information about the boat to Hollywood Studio.

They are currently running four boats to DHS, starting at 8am for a 9am park opening. (We saw all four at once). One boat sits at Boardwalk, one at Yacht Club and one at Swan/Dolphin. The fourth boat comes in from the Epcot side of the lake and goes to the BW after the first boat leaves, then YC, then S/D, then DHS.

We crossed the bridge between the Yacht Club and S/D at 8:08am and the fourth boat was heading to the Yacht Club. The first three boats unloaded at DHS very quickly. The fourth boat got to the DHS boat dock just about the same time as we got to the temperature check point, around 8:26am.

so are you are you saying if you can get on the first boat out at 8 or the next one that comes to Yacht, you should take that instead of walking? My family always thinks the boats are slow, but that sounds pretty good to me

As always, thanks for your beautiful pictures!

...you are quite welcome...I always take too many pics [well, that's what my family keeps telling me]. I like to capture 'nuances' of a location so that the viewer almost feels like they are there too....

I definitely recommend Ale & Compass...for BOTH.

We were on the first boat from YC in December, stopped at S/D and then went to the Studios. it would depend on your walking speed, but I don’t think we could have walked faster than the boat.

I think the new Cape May prices are reasonable for the main meal. I think their breakfast is the same price at Chef Mickey's when it first opened. I do not think $29 for a pound of snow crab is reasonable.

I went to Cape May for the crab legs. So delicious. 29 a pound isn't worth it to me. I could do that here at home and chow down in comfort. I have been known to do that from time to time. I'm bummed no characters for breakfast. I think some people will book not realizing that. Regardless, I'm glad things are opening up. Fingers crossed for Yachtsman.

How has the pool been lately with waits to get in? Are there long lines/waiting lists? Also, does the whole pool have the sand at the bottom or just a certain area of it?

The four boats that I saw at 8:08 all got to DHS before 8:26am

So whether you decide to walk or take the boat depends on what time you start walking and how long the line is for the boat

We have been here since Sunday and there haven’t been any waits for SAB
