Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Ballrooms

• Awash in the formal grace of a tony New England yacht club, this deluxe Resort set on the shores of Crescent Lake has a casually elegant beach atmosphere inspired by Martha's Vineyard.
• Ballrooms with nautical stars and stripes, beautiful molded ceilings and a classic color palette in shades of blue, gold, red and white evoke the grandeur of upscale Eastern seaboard resorts from a bygone era.
• Guests staying at the Resort can enjoy the 3-acre aquatic playground of Stormalong Bay, arguably the best pool complex at Walt Disney World Resort, as well as convenient access to EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's BoardWalk Area, a 45-acre shopping, dining and entertainment district.
• Ballroom locations offer the convenience of being flexible with event timing.
• The use of the dance floor and entertainment will decrease seating capacity.

Discover the Re-Imagined Meeting Space at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Convention Center

Attendees can experience the recently refurbished, current meeting space prior to the new expansion.

At Disney Meetings, we understand the many factors that go into determining a meeting destination. As part of Disney's commitment to creating exceptional meetings and events, we are providing planners with even more resources to deliver on their goals. 

As we eagerly await the grand opening of the new convention center expansion at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, take a look at how we recently refurbished the pre-existing function space: 

Asbury Rotunda 

Upon entering the lobby, attendees will experience the refreshed look and feel to this nautical-themed space. With a fresh coat of paint and new furniture, carpet, wood floor, wall coverings, and lighting, this welcoming convention center is in its prime. 

Lobby & Hallway

The convention center expansion, set to open in Fall 2018, will provide an additional 28,000 square feet, offering planners nearly 100,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space at this premiere Walt Disney World Resort location.

Grand Harbor Ballroom

Coming soon, the 16,000-square-foot Newport Ballroom and Newport Gallery pre-function space confirms why this space is ideal for general sessions, exhibits, ceremonies, networking events, and celebrations.

Newport Gallery

In the meantime, attendees can experience other recent additions to this Disney convention hotel. Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts offers  1,190 newly-renovated Guest rooms  – all located conveniently within walking distance of Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s BoardWalk entertainment district. Groups can also reserve a private dining experience in the  Keeper’s Room at Ale & Compass Restaurant , a new addition to Disney’s Yacht Club Resort.

Tell us – How would you plan your meeting or event in the reimagined space at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Convention Center? Let us know on  Facebook ,  Twitter,  or  LinkedIn  using hashtag #DisneyMeetingsBlog.

Yacht & Beach Club Convention Center Expansion

Last fall, Disney completed a massive overhaul and expansion at the Convention Center at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort. The newly renovated space now is one of the most desirable venues in Central Florida.

The completed convention center now offers nearly 100,000 square feet of meeting and event space. This total includes 28,000 square feet of newly added space. Guests attending meetings and events will enter through the Newport Lobby & Gallery. The newly upgraded entrance contains three pre-event areas for attendees to gather for networking and socializing.

Look at the new spaces designed to take your meetings and conventions to another level.

The new Newport Ballroom is 16,000 square feet and capable of dividing into eight breakouts. This space is perfect for networking events, ceremonies, general sessions, meetings, and celebrations. Besides adding the new ballroom, the existing space received a refurbishment. The new fresh nautical-themed space received new furniture, carpet, wood floor, wall coverings, and lighting. On top of that, the entire area also received a fresh coat of paint.

Every meeting room in the convention center got a makeover. Two new rooms, Seaview Room and Bourne Room, have been transformed into designated meeting planner offices.  This an added convenience for groups planning their events.

All of the rooms contain state of the art technology.  Additionally, some of the updates include multiple outlets for charging cell phones, tablets, and laptops. High-capacity internet connectivity and hard-wired services are available in the meeting rooms, ballrooms, and convention foyer.  The entire area gives off a new upgraded look and feels to match the rest of the convention center and resorts.

Not only has the convention center been renovated, but guests looking to stay near their meetings can now enjoy one of the more than 1,900 guest rooms . Furthermore, take advantage of the new dining options, including Ale & Compass Restaurant, Ale & Compass Lounge, and The Market at Ale & Compass.

Lastly, the location of the Yacht & Beach Club Convention Center to the parks is superior. You are a short 5-7-minute walk to Epcot and a quick boat ride away from Hollywood Studios . The entire Boardwalk area is one of my favorite areas on the property.  Besides the fantastic resorts and pools, there’s plenty of choices of great restaurants and bars. The convenience of two parks that you don’t have to get on a bus at the start of your day is another added bonus.
