That's what I thought, but the poster I quoted wrote about a CL experience at CBR?

I noticed that too. Maybe it's a typo and the poster meant to put BCR for Beach Club Resort (although most people use BC for Beach Club, I have seen people put BCR).

They could've also meant CSR it has a concierge too.

Club level and concierge are different. Each resort has a concierge in the lobby, but this poster specifically said club level and discussed a lounge and breakfast.

Could have meant CR also

Holy cow, you guys!! We are here now. Got off DME about 4:45, taken right over to Hawaii by a super nice CM, checked in and taken up to our room only to discover that we have been upgraded from garden view to TPV!!!

I am so floored! This is unbelievable!!

Oh, sorry. I don't recall that being there when we stayed there. That could be what they meant, or CR like a PP said

Caribbean Beach has club level???

I wrote the wrong hotel. it is Coronado Springs not CBR. I always get them mixed up. There is a lounge that has breakfast and then snacks through out the day.

It is only open at certain times and food and beverages are very limited. It's nothing like the deluxe CL

I've never done deluxe so I would have no clue what the differences are between the two. I did however find that the breakfast times were perfect for my group and so were the offerings.

 

[bluejasmine]

The deluxe CL are open from 630 am until 10 pm, but you can still go in after and before those times to get soda from the fridge or sit.

The breakfast is several kinds of pastries, yogurt, some type of protein be it boiled eggs, cheese, sliced meats, bagels, muffins, cereals, oatmeal, fruits, juices, coffees.

At noon there is snacks like Chips, hummus, cookies, pop corn and more plus you can get sodas, ask for beer Etc

At 5 is several types if hot appys that they replenish, cheeses, fruits, veggies, crackers, hummus, and more plus beer, wine and cordials

At 7 is desserts and cordials

CL will book your dining ADRs, put your park packages in your room, help you order flowers, and special things. Once we realized after park closing we left our camera at nine dragons they sent a courier over for it!

How big of a deal is this? We are trying to decide which resort we want to book. Im pretty sure we're going with the Poly. I keep coming back to the Poly because of the monorail. It just seems like it'll be great with kids and mom. How great is this over bus transportation??

Thanks,
Sandy

I have never done it either and would love to know too. Did yours also say to sign up for the My Disney Experience also because of the possibility of getting the wrist bands?

Everything I have heard is to avoid online check-in if you are staying CL ... At least until you have to use it for FP+.

Thanks ya'll! I am leaning towards just doing 2 rooms with DP and not doing CL. It just seems like too much food!

Thanks,

That is what happened to us on our May trip as well ...

We love being on the monorail. It is nice and convenient for getting to MK and although some people think the monorail is overrated and is never reliable, we have never found that to be the case (but everyone's opinion/experience is different). With that said, if you will be spending a lot of time at MK, I think the Poly is a great resort as it's just 2 monorail stops away (and it's also convenient for getting to Epcot as it's just a 5-7 minute walk to TTC ).

I think you'll have a great trip either way .

Awesome view .
