Sharing is caring!

Disney Yacht Club Resort

If you go on the Walt Disney World Website you will find this description of their Yacht Club Deluxe Resort:

Delight in the formal grace of a grand New England-style yacht club at this lakeside hotel. Relax in the inviting elegance of a plush lobby replete with nautical touches, explore the whimsical Stormalong Bay and rent a variety of watercraft from Bayside Marina. Sharing many amenities with its pastel-toned sister, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is walking distance to EPCOT and a convenient boat ride to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

This Disney resort is a favorite amongst many. One is on the Disney Boardwalk, but also because of the pool, Stormalong Bay, which is shared with the sister resort, The Beach Club. This resort also has one of the best restaurants on the property, Yachtsman Steakhouse. 

Yachtmans Steakhouse

Are you a steakhouse person? Well, dress up and you have to try, Disney’s Yachtsman Steakhouse. In this restaurant, you can savor premium steaks, fresh seafood, and more at this New England-style steakhouse.

For me, Disney’s Yachtsman Steakhouse is a special occasion restaurant. One, there is a dress code, which is Resort casual. What that is is no bathing suits, no flip flops, no holes in the jeans. You have to dress nice to eat here. 

But this steakhouse eatery is higher priced than the other Disney restaurants. That is because it is high-end steaks you will be consuming here. Yep, do not ask for ketchup for your steak. It is not that type of restaurant.

Strawberry Shortcake

A strawberry shortcake recipe is simple to make. It consists of strawberries, of course, ice cream, and some type of sponge cake.

One flavor that is good with strawberries is lemon. Disney’s Yachtsman Steakhouse took that lemon flavor and added it to cornbread. That lemon cornbread recipe elevates the classic strawberry shortcake to a new level.
