Ale & Compass Restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner if you want something a little more casual than Yachtsman . A variety of seafood dishes fill the menu , but the real delight is the Twelve-Layer Chocolate Cake . I made a similar recipe once , and trust me : A lot of love goes into making this dessert .
Yacht Club guests are also within walking distance of the New England seafood of Cape May Café at Beach Club , the Italian cuisine of Trattoria al Forno at BoardWalk , the sumptuous sushi of Kimonos at Walt Disney World Swan Hotel , and the mouthwatering steaks of Shula ’ s Steak House at Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel .
TOP-NOTCH RECREATION The jewel of Yacht Club is the sparkling pool area shared with Disney ’ s Beach Club . Stormalong Bay is 3 acres of water fun , complete with a lazy river , shipwreck water slide , two kiddie pools , and three whirlpool spas . My absolute favorite part is the sandy bottom . If you ever wanted a gentle foot massage after a long day at the parks , the bottom of Stormalong Bay is a dream come true .
To really plus your poolside experience , you may want to rent a cabana . Not only will you be able to seek refuge from the sun , but you can also relax between swims with cocktail service or a bite
Be sure to look for the hidden Mickey on the globe in the lobby . It ’ s a tricky one to find , but we hear it ' s in the sourthern hemisphere .
