We’re at the hotel right now. I got a phone call offering the Creators Club at a discounted price.
We only did breakfast once. It was ok. Basic continental breakfast.
The sandwiches at lunch were pretty dry. I guess overall the food didn’t seem very fresh and didn’t impress me much. Not much variety each day. The evening offering last night was beans and tater tots. The make your own salad was good as was a pasta salad.
Drinks such as juices and ice tea were in glass jars to pour into glass cups. No bottled water. There were cans of pop (TRANSLATION FOR OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS:."soda")
They had to go cups for coffee but you need to ask.
They made a point of saying food was only to be eaten at the lounge.
Thanks for the info. I have relatively little experience with Disney resort club level, maybe five mostly short one or two day stays (pre-covid) at the Paradise Pier, and a single Club stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge in Disney World in May of this year.
I find it interesting that they phoned you to offer you an upgrade to club level. When I booked the Animal Kingdom Lodge for our May, 2024 trip, I priced out the cost of a club level room, but it was way more than I was willing to pay. The day we checked in at the lodge, I inquired how much it would cost for an upgrade, and the additional cost was approximately 1/3 of what I was quoted online for the upgrade. It was a no-brainer to upgrade to club level. I think, for future stays at either Disneyland or Disney World resorts I'll try a similar strategy, and inquire about the cost of a club room upgrade while checking in.
Your description of the food offerings at the Creators Club are depressing, to say the least. The Kilimanjaro club at Animal Kingdom Lodge was better in all respects.
The rule about eating food in the lounge is baffling. You even have to ask for a "to go" cup for coffee??? At the Kilimanjaro club, and during my stays at the Beach Comber Club at the old Paradise Pier, the employees encouraged us to take food to our room. During our stay at Kilimanjaro Club, I returned by myself to the resort during the day to have a couple of beer and grab an armful of snacks for my wife and two daughters. Same thing during the evening dessert service. My family would stay in the parks until close, and I returned early to drink beer and fill up a couple of to-go containers with desserts The employees were always very helpful when I did this, and never commented on the relatively large amount of food I took back to our room.
I assume you could at least take cans of pop with you to the parks without the club employees trying to stop you? Kilimanjaro Club had bottles of water, but we had to ask for them.
Anyway, I've given your post a sad emoji, since it appears from your review that a Creators Club stay will certainly be disappointing.
