Yacht Club is a solid fit for families, and the biggest reason is transportation.

The main trade-offs at Yacht Club are these: Very expensive even by Deluxe resort standards. Smaller pool at Yacht Club itself, relies on shared Stormalong Bay. Rooms can feel dated compared to more recently renovated Deluxes. No monorail access, bus or walk required to Magic Kingdom. Nautical theming may not excite young children as much as other resorts.
