My family of four rented a private cabana for the day at Disney's Yacht Club Resort for $300.
There was a dedicated wait staff for beverage and food service throughout the day.

As a travel planner at Marvelous Mouse Travels, my family often takes trips to Disney World.

Over the years, we've discovered some vacation extras that are totally worth the money, like the private cabanas you can rent at Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, Disney's Yacht and Beach Club resorts, and both Disney water parks.

During a recent stay at Yacht Club, my family decided to rent a poolside cabana for a day.

Cabana rentals tend to sell out quickly, so it's best to book them in advance.

Resort cabanas are only available for full-day rentals.Kari Becker

The cabana is equipped with a shaded sitting area and two lounge chairs in the sun.

Having a shaded area to get away from the Florida heat is priceless.

A cabana rental is a great way for parents to relax while kids play at the pool.
