Beach Club- Club Level (Deluxe Room)

Hello! My family just switched resorts to the Beach Club - Deluxe Room Club Level!
I was wondering if anyone had any information/pics of these rooms or just club level in general. What are the views of Deluxe CL rooms? We last stayed at the BC in 2005. What has changed since then?
Thank you so much for any insight!

Have a look at the BC/YC thread. I gave a link to an old thread with pics of a deluxe room before they were renovated last year, and posted a few more pics of my own. Here's the link to that post (scroll down to post #255):

Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

There are only 4 deluxe rooms located on a corner of the building and overlooking the quiet pool. None of them is on the 5th floor where the club level lounge is. The room layout is quite large and comfortable with two exposures -- overlooking the quiet pool, as I stated, and a smaller window looking toward the lake. There is something of an entry hall when you open the door. There is one TV, two queen beds and a day bed. The bathroom isn't any larger than a bathroom in a regular room. Nonetheless, the room has a spacious feel overall.

We stayed in a BC deluxe room a year ago. We liked it so much, we'll be there again in a couple of weeks.

The lounge is on the 5th floor and is quite a walk from the location of the deluxe rooms. However, we got used to using the elevator and doing the walk after a couple of days. The lounge is way, way too small for the number of guests using it. At breakfast it was often difficult to find a place to sit. A couple of times we went out on the standing room only balcony to eat. The breakfast offerings included Krispy Kreme donuts. Beyond that, it's a typical continental style breakfast. There are various snacks out during the day, with canapes, wine, desserts and cordials later in the evening. We were told a year ago that BC would be expanding the lounge in September 08, but don't think that ever happened. Many people took breakfast back to the room. We never tried to take breakfast back as the deluxe rooms are so far from the lounge.

The CM's at BC are absolutely the best -- and that includes the concierges. We've stayed twice at GF RPC and we think the CM's, in general, are happier and more pleasant and welcoming at BC (although the concierges at RPC are also first rate). The lounge, of course, is much nicer at GF RPC, but we chose BC deluxe again this year because:

1. We like the spacious room,

2. We think the CMs at BC are the best,

3. We love the location near Epcot, DHS and lots of dining and entertainment options,

4. We like the food offerings in the lounge,

5. We love the overall ambience of BC -- relaxed, informal and fun,

6. We love, love, love Storm-along Bay with its sand bottom and lazy river,

7. Our boys love renting the water sprites and using them on the lake (they much prefer the lake at BC to the one at GF).

So, all of these things drew us back for another stay. There are pictures of the room somewhere on this site. I think someone may have just posted a link.

Hope you have fun!

Actually there are 2 others. The ones you mentioned are 1557, 2557, 2557 & 4557. The other 2 are 3691 & 4691, which are directly above Cape May Cafe. We stayed in 3691 last month.
