Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

[lala5176]

I was there in December, and DH and I both really liked it We usually prefer monorail resorts too because MK is our favorite park, but it's really nice to have a short walk to Epcot and a bit longer walk (or boat ride) to HS! We were there without our kids in December, so we only went to MK one day and to MVMCP. Travel time to MK can be long but can also be somewhat short if you hit the buses right. If you won't really be spending any more time at MK than any other park, I wouldn't worry about it. It wouldn't be a deal breaker even if you are, IMO. We requested to be inside the Innkeeper's security door on the fourth floor and a King bed if possible and we got both; however, we were a good hike from the lounge. Being on the fourth floor inside the security doors was my priority. If you don't need/want a king bed, you might say close to lounge also. We really liked the lounge staff (except for that one manager who is misinformed about lounge access on checkout day) and the food offerings were good. We really enjoyed the multiple outdoor seating areas where you could sit and enjoy the evening after the CL lounge closes (if you aren't ready to sleep yet). There is a balcony outside the Bellevue Lounge (I think that's what it's called?) and there's another one more toward the center of the Inn that even has rocking chairs...although these were usually taken. Both of these areas were on the BW side. I also thought the quiet pool was very nice and quiet indeed! Perhaps it was the time of year because it was a bit chilly...we only got in the hot tub

Thanks Dispro1

Thanks Dispro1. I love being able to walk to two parks from Epcot resorts. That's the best part of being at this location. I think I will ask for inside Innkeepers doors and close to lounge.

Hi all- just upgraded to CL for our stay at the Beach Club in May. It will be our first time club level!! Just wondering if there are there drinks available to go? (bottled water, juice boxes, cans of soda?) Thanks!

 

[lala5176]

Yes there are cans of soda during the day and at different times there are juices, iced tea, lemonade and filtered water that you can take in a cup to go. Coffee and tea are also available any time the lounge is open. There is also milk aqnd chocolate milk in the morning and some resorts have containers of chocolate milk that you could ask for whenever the lounge is open. Otherwise we just fill up a cup for later so my kids have some when we return from the parks.

For anyone who has stayed at the Boardwalk club level..... any room location requests I should make? We are booked standard view. I'm trying to get excited about our trip but we stayed at monorail resorts our last two trips and feel like I might miss it. We have stayed at Epcot resorts before and loved it but for some reason I keep second guessing my choice. Any helpful info and tips about Boardwalk CL to help change my mind??? TIA

I have stayed BWI CL 2 times and loved it. For a room request I would consider a couple of things.
1. Request a room inside the door to the innkeepers club. They have made some of the rooms in the common hallway club level and I preferred a room inside.
2. When I stayed the club level room could be either Boardwalk view or Garden view. I have stayed in both and while the view is pretty on the boardwalk, I found it very noisy and really preferred the garden view.

I thought I read somewhere that hard boiled eggs were being added to the breakfast portion. If true does anyone know if this will be standard across all club level resorts?

 

[Wood Nymph]

Here is the current set up at the WL Old Faithful Club lounge. They have put the lunge in the hallway until they can move to different quarters.

The window that faces Bay Lake is closed off. The only view now is the lobby view.

Breakfast: There were muffins, sweet rolls, bagels, croissants, cereal, oatmeal and fruit salad. They also served either a cheese and sliced ham platter or smoked salmon, but not both. You had to ask for orange juice or espresso. They only had coffee, milk, chocolate milk, hot water for tea and cold water out. You had to ask for all other beverages. I've never been at the lounge before, so I don't know what is the normal situation.

I can't answer your question, but hopefully someone else will be able to help .

Thanks for this information, as well as the pics .

We stayed CL at Beach Club last July and at GF SL in December. Both CL lounges had hard boiled eggs for breakfast.

Thank you. I would definitely prefer to be inside those doors too. I would also prefer a quieter room where I can sit on my balcony and have a little more privacy. Boardwalk view would probably not provide that :0)
Did you find the lounge to be adequate for seating? It looks like there are not many tables in pictures I've seen.

Poly CL had hard boiled eggs in October. It was a very welcome addition!

Good to hear and I know my husband will be super happy.

Staying CL for the first time at AKL. I did request the queen with the bunk beds room. Other than that, do I need to make any other room requests? This is a regular booking, not dvc.

I usually put "close to lobby" or "close to lounge" in hopes of not getting a room way way down at the end of the long hallway. It can be quite a hike.

I have seen hard boiled eggs and deli meats at all the club levels I've stayed in the past year or so. It seems to be a change everywhere. Now we just need those amazing grits they have at the BC everywhere too!
