The Smart Speakers are voice activated, and not linked to any personal accounts, including My Disney Experience accounts. No registration or set up is required if you are in a room with a Smart Speaker.
There are many advantages to staying at the Beach Club Resort in Disney World — one being super easy walking access to Epcot for all the Festivals! But now we’ve found another advantage — a new Premium Coffee Bar!
Beach Club Resort Premium Coffee Bar
The new Premium Coffee Bar is located in the Beach Club’s Solarium, which is just off the lobby, outside the Marketplace shop and quick service/grab and go dining location in the resort. In the past, this location has served tea, been a craft space, and more. Now? It’s coffee time.
