Beach Club CL vs Contemporary CL

[DISNEYFAN2828]

I have read so many reviews.....but STILL torn!!!!

Give it to me!!! Good/Bad/ugly!!!!!

I need help!!!! lol

Both good, but we give the edge to the Contemporary because we like balconies and much better lounges at the Contemp. We prefer Yacht Club Club Level over Beach Club as all YC CL rooms have balconies.

Just curious time of year and approximate age make up of the group? It may (or may not) impact my opinion.

Stayed at BC CL this past Feb and it was super nice! If you look at my posts from that time I highlighted a lot of the meals they had. Everything was delicious and the CMs were SUPER attentive. The only part that felt "lacking" were the midday snacks as they were the same chips/cookies everyday but I think that is the same at the other CLs. I've never stayed at Contemporary CL so I don't have a firsthand experience but I have heard a lot of people rave it as one of the best in the CL thread.

A normal day looked like this for us:

Breakfast - Assorted pastries, toast, bagels. Yogurt, cereal, grits, oatmeal with toppings, sometimes a charcuterie board of fruits/salmon/other meats. Usually an egg dish of some kind. Sausage was the usual meat and there was always a plant-based option.

Midday snacks - Cookies, chips, ice cream bars in freezer with lemonade/sodas/water. There was also jars of candy (I think Starburst, lollypops).

Apps/Dinner - You can absolutely make these whole meals even if they don't intend it to be that way lol. I remember having seafood rolls, couscous, meats & cheeses, a mac n' cheese "bar" with all the fixin's (bacon, cheese, green onion), veggies, salad, a hot meat dish (I had chicken tagine one night), sliced baguettes, etc...really something for everyone. I felt there was always at least one or two more kid friendly options like the mac n' cheese/chicken nuggets.

Desserts - Cookies, 50th anniversary cupcakes, mini cheesecakes, mini chocolate cakes etc. The ice cream bars are available all day btw if you or your kids love those.

I'm sure you'll love either but I had a very positive experience at BC so I thought I'd share!

Oh and we did have a full size balcony! Not guaranteed, however.
