Check-out the weather before you finish your packing. Average temperatures in Orlando range from 80-85 (F) during the daytime hours. The evenings are cool and will be in the low 70s.
Please bring a sweater or light jacket for use in the meeting rooms as personal comfort levels vary greatly.
Airport Transportation
The resort is easily reached by flying into the Orlando area. It is 20 miles from the Orlando International Airport (MCO).
We’re also excited to tell you about Disney’s Magical Express. It’s the newest Disney Difference benefit, and it will make it even easier for you to travel to the Walt Disney World® Resort. Disney's Magical Express is a complimentary service for registered Guests staying at a Walt Disney World® Resort.
Disney’s Magical Express is available exclusively to guests staying in Disney-owned resorts, and it includes:
• Complimentary round-trip shuttle service, via special Disney-themed motor coaches, between Orlando International Airport and your Disney Resort
• Complimentary luggage handling - from arrival into Orlando International Airport through resort check-in
• Advance airline check-in at the resort for departures on select airlines - a great way to avoid airport lines
• View here for more information about Disney's Magical Express.
Regardless of which transportation method you choose, make sure you are dropped off at the front desk for Disney's Yacht Club Resort and Convention Center (unless you are staying at a different hotel). Please note Disney's Beach Club Resort is within walking distance but does have a different front desk check in.
