We've never stayed Club Level, but have the opportunity to do a week at either the Beach Club (resort view) or the Poly (water view). We'll have our 3-year old with us! We've stayed at and loved the Beach Club, but only ever visited the Polynesian. Which Club Level is better?!
 

When is your visit? The Feature Pool SAB at YC / BC will be closes Jan. 2025 thru Jun. 2025.

The middle of January. We weren't planning on swimming since it'll probably be chilly, but it's true we might get a surprise 80-degree day or two and plan to spend a good amount of time at the resort. Pools would definitely be nice!

There are 3 additional pools at the YC / BC / BCV complex if you do end up with Pool weather.

Since @GADisneyDad14 mentioned the Poly being a great choice with a 3 year-old. The new Island Tower has a Zero entry pool and the new Moana's Voyage Interactive play area that is available to all Poly guests.

Noise from the pool construction could be an issue at BC if you want nap time. Pool remodels can result in the pools being demolished down to the dirt and rebuilt.
 
I have done Poly club level as well as YC (although not BC). Since you’ve already done BC, I’d choose Poly. With a water view room, you will likely be able to see the MK fireworks from your room, which is REALLY a nice perk.

In terms of the club level food, it’s convenient and nice to have, but I do find it to be overpriced for what it is.

Easy access to the MK is wonderful! The MK resort area is my favorite because you also have access to all the great dining on the monorail loop. Don’t be afraid to take your little one out; you’ll see kids everywhere in Disney. We LOVE the California Grill. It’s all so accessible if you stay on the monorail.
 
We have stayed Poly Club level and YC club, although not BC. Both were great, but my kids would pick Poly hands down. Everyone’s opinion differs on the value of club level and we’ve certainly done trips without it and survived just fine. But if it is in your budget, I think the convienence is worth it. You can watch the MK fireworks from the club lounge at Poly. So we would often come back from the parks, get the kids in their pajamas and then eat dessert in the lounge and watch the fireworks.

As far as the actual hotel, you are so close to MK, which is great with young kids. If you’re interested in a character meal, the Ohana character breakfast is one of our favorites.
 
We LOVE Poly CL! We've only stayed in what was a standard room at BC. It was just DH & I on both of these stays. We didn't care for BC but I think it was because we did a split stay & had just checked out of GDT CL. I would go with Poly!

I have a gluten allergy & was afraid of not being able to eat well. I was wrong. The Chef got with the 'ohana staff & they brought me gluten free bread pudding! I can't say enough about the CL staff and how much we enjoyed our stay! We watched MK fireworks from the lounge and the beach several times. I'm not sure how the music is piped in from the fireworks. But our room was on the 3rd floor right around the corner from the 3rd floor lounge entrance & hearing Happily Ever After every night was just the icing on the cake.
