Club Level vs Standard Queen Room at RPR

[aubriee]

I currently have a one bedroom villa booked for eight nights over at Wyndham Bonnet Creek for Sept 14th-22nd for a solo trip. I plan on staying over at RPR for one night (probably Thursday night) in order to get early entry, front of the line pass, and because I don't want to drive back and forth from Disney those two days. With the annual pass discount, the price difference between a standard room and club is $100.00 ($149.00 vs $249.00). Is club level worth it for one night? I'd take advantage of the food offerings for breakfast, dinner, and bedtime snack. Are the room locations better? Anything else make club level better (more special)?

no difference in room between the two.
club is in T3, 7th floor.
tower location would be the only difference.


solo trip, $100 more a night, not worth it.

you are not going to eat $100 of food, snacks, bottled water or soda in that 24 hour time period.

you would have to set a schedule to be at the club lounge for the times food will be out for the club guests.
that would mean giving up some park time.

the club lounge opens at 7:30 am.
if you want to do early entry for parry hotter, you'd be there after it opened to the hotel guests.

5:00 is when the evening spread is put out in club.


i have done club solo and non club rooms.
go with the $149 rate is my advice.

We always stay club level at Universal, but that is on multi-night stays with 3 of us. For us its works like this:

3 adult breakfast's probably $50 with tip
.
If I have 2 beers in the evening that's about $12.

We would make use of either the offerings and/deserts most nights, that's proably worth $20 for 3 of us.

My son and I would use the Fitness Center 1/2 the days we are there which $20 for the two of us.

On anydays that doesn't total $100 it's worth it for the convience of having breakfast ready and waiting down the hall, instead of ordering in the restaurant.

However if we were staying at WDW and were just sliding over to Universal for one night without checking out I would grab the cheapest room available. Especially with just one person.

We stayed club level a few weeks ago, but were 4 adults and ate a lot! The club opened at 7, and the food usually was out by 7:15. Evening snacks were 4:30 to 6:30 and we enjoyed the beer and wine. There were usually some cookies left after we got back from the parks, around 9:15. Staying 3 nights, we could go to the parks for shorter times and enjoy the RPR more. I agree it doesn't make sense for your plans.

OK, thanks! I went with a standard queen room (no King rooms available under the AP discount for 9/19).

What did you think of the food offerings each day?
