Club Level with or without dining plan?

Well, DH and I are the king and queen or indeciveness apparently! We booked CR Magic Kingdom View in the tower with the regular dining plan for December. We were thinking about changing the ressie to a CL room. Would you include the dining plan when you are in a CL room? I don't know if it is worth it to get the DP with CL. We spend a lot of time at the resort and always go back for a nap, so I keep telling myself that we will be able to take advantage of the offerings in the lounge. ( Also, there is the CL at the Poly! The food there looks really good, too! :lmao: We will probably change our ressie 10 times before we get there!) We cannot figure out the best thing to do. Is it best to do a standard room and keep the dining plan or just do the CL without dining? Or do you get a CL room and also have the dining plan? :confused3

Yes - but we just do the basic DDP when we stay club level. We usually use the lounge for a quick breakfast and lots of times we'll have a few appetizers before we go to dinner. It really isn't a substitute for dinner but it's nice to have a "little something" when waiting for a later dinner ADR.

We booked DxDP and CL for this summer. We book a lot of signature restaurants and character meals. One of the benefits for me of CL is the IPO booking my ADRs for me. That way I don't have to worry about being on the phone or online early in the morning. If we weren't planning on a lot of signature restaurants, I would have just booked the regular dining plan.
