I would skip club level. You are already going over budget for the upgrade to WL. The cost of CL exceeds the cost of the dining plan for two adults.
Can't offer any advice, since I'm a firm believer in sticking to budgets - but that's me and I was the one earning the lions share of the income and thus responsible for supporting my family.
You and hubby set a budget of $4000 for a seven day stay and now you want to increase that budget by $1700? Because OKW is not 'exciting enough' for your 3 and 6 yr. old sons and because you're not 'feeling it.' Why would you agree to a specific budget and then want to increase it almost 50% - did a bonus get paid, overtime, or pay raise happen for one of you?.
Well, if extra money is on the table (congrats on the bonus, btw,) then dream on, w/ boys the age of yours the easy access to MK would be a plus, so WL is a great option, but, since you fly from Colorado (I think you said) would the lodge theme of WL be more of what you already see a lot of @ home? It is a lovely resort. I see you've stayed @ the GC in California, the theme of WL is much the same, although the GC feels more 'grand ' to me than the WL (not sure why.) I do like WL's pool area better than GC's.Yes, DH's bonus was bigger than we had expected, so that is why I am ok with upping our budget. I would never ask to up a budget by that much without having a means to pay for it.
I m still trying to convince my dh of the deluxe upgrade and its been booked and paid for an we leave next month lol
He will come around when we get there lol
