Yes, but I’d be curious how the food and other offerings compare to the offerings throughout the parks. The DVC Member lounge at Epcot for example purposely keeps things “just nice enough” that you’ll come in for about 25 minutes and then move on with your life and go back into the parks and spend $$$s. I’m curious how this fits in with that strategy, or they figure, they’re making so much money off the membership it’s worth it.
As I recall, it also includes guest passes and an AP and/or magic key. Maybe that’s where the value is?
Can confirm: the menus in the clubs are small and vary at each one. There’s some signature drinks and smaller entrees and starters. The food is like a signature would be, quality wise. It’s really about the full bar where you can cocktails and pretty much anything including rare whiskies. For me, it’s more about the clean and lovely restrooms with thick paper towels and legit TP and a resbit from the heat. They are all beautiful and nothing like the DVC lounges.
Benis include bicoastal passes for 4. Any minors in your immediate family can be added for an additional, hefty charge. You also receive 50 guest park hoppers that do not include FP unless they are with you in the park, otherwise it’s just a ticket. There are special events, special merch, and other amenities like valet parking anywhere. You get an allowance of VIP tours or other things like art, animal experiences, etc that you can choose instead. Special events and merch are not included nor is the food and alcoholic bevs in the clubs.
Everyone values different amenities differently. Some love the parking most, some the FPS, some for the events etc etc and some make the club their entire identity. The club team can act as a concierge but it’s not as comprehensive as you’d think or most members would hope.
Is it worth it? That’s individual. For me, yes, to a point. As dues rise and amenities change, one evaluates each renewal. Knowing you can’t get it back, well, that’s a big consideration. So far so good!
