^ btw this was the thread I found it from if you want to see it for yourselves

@GrumpyFan since you've stayed at Yacht Club a few times and enjoy armchair imagineering with your awesome blog too, do you have any thoughts on this idea we have? Any feedback would be appreciated!

Love this idea!

I just think it's missing one thing. Considering what they've done at Wilderness Lodge with the Geyser Point Bar & Grill, I think an open air restaurant on the water would be a great addition to the area.
I'm calling it the Dockside Tavern, but I think I like Marina Bar & Grill also. Really, it could be anything though.

I got the idea by combining the Martha's Vineyard Black Dog Tavern with the Dockside Cafe. Ideally, Disney could partner with Black Dog to build this.

Pardon my crude and hasty Paint drawing that I altered from the original.

Updated to add the link to Blackdog Tavern.

An alternate idea on the above would place the tavern straddling the walkway for the Friendship boats, with seating on both sides and the walkway passing thru.

Thanks! And that idea awesome!!

@MonorailRed you should see this -- I like that touch. Seeing as Hurricane Hanna's is moreso for the pool area, this I'm assuming would take on that quick service Geyser Point type feel like you mentioned, and have a great view of Crescent lake too!

Exactly!

In my opinion, Disney needs more water-side restaurants. There's nothing more peaceful and enjoyable than sitting by the water enjoying a meal and maybe a couple of drinks.

Agreed!

We're also working on a dockside bar/restaurant for the Contemporary too if you want to see that one!

This was an old sketch I drew last year -- I'll have to update it with the DVC expansion!

@MonorailRed ^^

Minor upgrade, but in line with what was rumored before...maybe the DVC additions will follow these dining enhancements

Oh I must have missed the full description - so it looks like Captain's Grille is being re-themed to the Ale & Compass Restaurant as well as a refurbished Ale & Compass Lounge.

Description:
The look of the table service restaurant will take cues from a lighthouse, with an on-stage hearth oven as a focal point.

We'll we did want to put the Dockside Tavern next to the lighthouse!

A @MonorailRed and @spacemt354 collaboration project

Welcome to Nantucket Wharf and Tisbury Point!

The latest DVC expansion project coming to Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts. With the craze of waterfront bungalows at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and Disney's Wilderness Lodge - we searched for a location that would be ripe for another bungalow addition.

On the shores of Nantucket Island, especially near the marina, you can pass by small houses along the waterfront, with boats and docks surrounding them.

If you walk along the beaches of Martha's Vineyard, you can also see quaint homes nestled along the shorelines with incredible views of the water

At Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts - the relaxation vibes of these locations are prevalent throughout their designs, and with the Nantucket Wharf DVC Expansion - guests will be able to reserve 2 floor DVC homes along both the Yacht Club marina and Beach Club shores.

There will be 22 DVC homes in all -- 11 on the Yacth Club side and 11 on the Beach Club side.

Map of Expansion​

Yacht Club DVC - Nantucket Wharf
The Yacht Club Marina will be moved in front of the Bungalows and to the sides of the vacation homes to generate a more Nantucket style atmosphere to the surrounding area (as that is what it would look like if you had a home along the wharf. Choose from 11 eclectic styled 2 floor homes along the Marina of the Yacht Club, with the added perk of Marina use. Boating on Crescent Lake will now be a perk of Yacht Club DVC members only, along with Illuminations Fireworks gatherings. Boating in Crescent Lake has never been as popular as the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake, so it will be an exclusive for DVC Yacht Club guests.

Beach Club DVC - Tisbury Point
Named after a famous town on the Martha's Vineyard Island, on the Beach Club side of the resort, guests can enter incredibly spacious vacation villas along the beaches, looking out over at Disney's Boardwalk Resort and the rest of the Epcot Resort Area.

11 unique Villas you can choose from at Tisbury Point, with some that can sleep up to 12 guests.

And the best part is -- you still have all the added amenities of being in the Epcot Resort Area and staying at the Yacht and Beach Club!

More details on the layout of the different DVC villas coming soon. But for now -- comment below with your thoughts and feedback if you'd like. Thank you!​
