Raspberry Gelato

Sister resorts, Walt Disney World’s  Yacht and Beach Clubcomplexes transport guests to unparalleled waterfront relaxation. Behind the resorts are Stormalong Bay and Crescent Lake. Stormalong Bay spans 3 acres, with water slides emerging from the replica of a wrecked ship, lagoons, a slow river to float along in inner tubes and a sand-bottom pool. At 25-acre Crescent Lake, Guests can rent a variety of watercraft (such as pedal boats and pontoons) from the Bayside Marina, go on a fishing expedition or take a private cruise on the Breathless, where at night one might see fireworks. Fun fact: The globe located in the Yacht Club lobby was designed to resemble the styles of globes from the 19th century, but it includes fictitious names and places — and even a hidden Mickey.  Gelato is just one of creamy cool treats guests will enjoy in the two resorts fast-casual eateries.
