Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

[TJA]

too bad they aren't texting... so weird why some CL's do it and some don't - you'd think that they'd roll it out to all at the same time.

I know! The CM talked with a manager who said Poly has never had the texting service before, which I'm still confused about because someone on here posted with certainty all CLs have texting. In any event, I'm going to make the call tomorrow at MK and see how it works!

Otherwise....it's so beautiful here at Poly!

Has anyone asked for and actually received a king bed room at AKL CL? I know they are very limited. I called and had a request put in, but just curious if it's at all likely!

We stayed at AKL CL in late January 2012. We requested a king and received a king...good luck!!

We are staying CL GV at the Poly in October. Any suggestions for room location? We have never done CL before and I do know there will probably be construction on the East pool - just hoping we are set back far enough not to have to worry about it. Can anyone confirm if there are any GV rooms on the lagoon side still? If not, would you suggest balcony or patio and near the lounge or down the hall closer to the east side of the building.

Wow, what a great view! So glad you got your request. I can't decide what view to get for CL. I think we would love to be on the first floor lagoon if we could have your view. Seems like it would be so convenient with little kids. Really don't think we would like 2nd floor with no balcony. Wish I could book a TPV and guarantee 3rd floor or LV by the lounge...I haven't been able to find many pics. from the ground floor. Do you think 1st floor LV view would be worth it further east or would the bungalows be a big detraction? Anyone else have an opinion/experience?

Each July we plan something "different" for our anniversary. Then when we look at the cost DH says lets just go to Disney! Even on our trip to visit family last week we kept measuring time based when we would be in Orlando So excited just to be going back next month. 27 days and counting down!

My Dh has said the same. It's amazing how much more fun we have at Disney and it's cheaper than many other destinations. Also my husband now complains at hotels they ARE JUST NOT Disney.

Going to try to twist his arm into a f&w weekend after my empty nest this fall

I will take a stroll the other way and snap some pictures of the views for you

We feel the same way, too! I got the go ahead recently to plan fall 2016.. Fingers crossed there will be a good mil rate at the Boardwalk.

About the CL texting service that has been a hot topic.....

After talking with 2 separate managers and I also texted the number given to me while staying at BC CL a few months ago, I can say that I've given up on trying to obtain additional FPs through CL. Poly does not have the texting service, sadly. They gave me a phone number to call and we called it today to request 4th FP and the CM read me exactly what was on the kiosk -- he had no extra pull like the texting service at BC.

So...unless dansdad has some further info for me, I'm giving up and we are going to change our park tour plans accordingly.

I quoted below dansdad confirming the service in all CL's!!

↑
Is anyone back recently from Poly to know if they're doing the texting service yet (for 4th FP)? I know BC is and it ended up enriching our vacation tremendously! I know they're experimenting with different things, etc. All I want to know is if anyone has recently returned from Poly with this info Thanks!!
↑
Yes, this is offered at all the CLs.
↑
Did WL have the 4th FP texting service up and going for your stay? Someone did say a few pages back that all resorts have now adapted this policy, but I'm not sure if he was just speculating or if he indeed was reporting based on his experience.
↑
It wasn't speculation.

Hello everyone. We (husband, two daughters 16 and 10...will be 17 and 11 by our next trip..., and myself) are considering staying club level for the first time in April. We love Beach Club (for it's proximity to Epcot. We really enjoy walking around WS and Boardwalk at night and of course SAB), and we recently fell in love with Grand Floridian...for it's beauty and elegance. As I am pricing cl, it seems that the Grand (Sugar Loaf) is only $100 more than BC due to the fact that we have to buy park hoppers to go to Epcot nightly when staying at BC So, opinions between the two? Any advice? It's such a difficult decision because we love them both! So, I was just wanting to hear about your personal experiences and your opinions for our family.

My BIL and his family were staying at Poly CL 3 weeks ago and used the texting service every day for a 4th FP+. When they checked in they were given the number to text with what they wanted.

Hello, does anyone have a garden view pic from the Hawaii bldg with a view toward the construction fence around the ole quiet pool? I'm considering a garden view CL room which means statistically I'm likely to get the pool construction view. How far from the building is the fence? Is there any greenway to mitigate the construction view? I've stayed at the Poly quite a few times but it's been over 5 years ago and my memory of the area is weak. Would love a pic from patio, 2nd floor, or 3rd floor room straight ahead.

Interesting! It must be they went through a testing phase...We did switch around a few plans for the remainder of our trip to adjust for not having this service. We just saw a familiar manager tonight that we see every July 4 week here at Poly so I'm going to ask him about it in the next few days. It's such a great perk -- I'm not sure why they'd have it 3 weeks ago and then stop! I'll see what I can find out and let you guys know!

I'm here now but staying on the other side. I'll see if I can snap a few pics of the ground floor rooms on the garden side.
