Concierge/Club Level Information - Part III (October 2010)

[dgbg100106]

Good morning! I had a quick question about bags and your room not being ready. I'm the one in the family who carries a the small carry-on with an i-pod or two. It's the really small drawstring type. If the room isn't ready and we were headed to a park can I leave the bag with the concierge or will I have to carry it with me? I don't mind if I do have to bring it (usually I do since I end up being the "Carry my water bottle" person too ) Just wondering if you can leave it with them til you return. Thanks in advance! Happy Friday!

yes you can leave your bag there with the bell hops. They will give you a claim ticket for it to claim later but ours came up when the rest of our luggage arrived to our room while we were at the park.

Well, 24 hours from now we will be on a plane heading for WDW! We are staying in a Deluxe Room CL at the BWI. We cannot wait to get there! It's been a tough week (our dog passed away very suddenly), so I think WDW will be great for us! The BWI CL is our favorite, and we have been several times.
I will try to post live from the BWI, but I may not. I will for sure post a review when I get back. Is there anything anyone would like me to look for while there? I will report back on anything you would like me to.
Thanks!

Have a wonderful trip and enjoy yourself. Looking forward to your review

When I email the CL staff, I was told if our room was not ready, we could leave any luggage (carry on stuff) we had with them, the rest of our luggage would stay at the bell hop

Please be kind enough to report if Merlot is still the only red wine served at Innkeeper's Club.

Until then, enjoy your stay!

All the best.

I love that you mentioned the "other" caffeine-free beverages



Always happy to help a Texan, (we were stationed twice in San Angelo).

When you check-in, even if your room isn't ready, the concierge will know where it is located. If it isn't quite what you requested, ask the concierge if something closer to your request is available.

Good luck and have a great vacation at the Lodge

Thanks! That's good information to have. Can't wait to get there, just 16 days away!!

To be honest, I don't have a 100% answer for you, but the Wanyama Safari is on the same page as the dining reservations. It has it under a Jiko ADR.

I finally got an email from AKL IPO last night saying they HAD booked all my ADRs, our sunrise Safari, and the Illuminations cruise. They just hadn't gotten around to notifying me, yet. Since their ADR times were identical to the ones I made, they went ahead and cancelled theirs. They also said the Disney World site wouldn't necessarily show reservations made by their office and that the Illuminations cruise and Sunrise Safari would definitely never show up on there. They were very nice and apologized for the confusion/delay.

I know this is from a couple of weeks ago, but wanted to give an update. I did receive an email from IPO 2 days after our 180 day mark confirming our dining reservations (which I was able to pull up on the WDW site) and they were able to make our Sunrise Safari and Illuminations cruise reservations also.

Thanks for asking this, although we won't be flying in, it is nice to know that we can leave out bags and go to the park after we check in.

I loved CL at CR, but I don't think I would do it again because we didn't utilize it enough. We went there for the occasional snacks and I had some wine, but other than that, we didn't use it that much.

What did you think of the lounge and the Cast Members working up there?

What did you think of the lounge and the Cast Members working up there?

The CMs were absolutely wonderful! They were very helpful when I needed their help, didn't mind all the questions I asked and the lounge was clean and had a variety of snacks and foods and drinks! I loved one of the wines they had out. I took a picture of the label so I could buy it in the future. I would highly recommend CR CL for those who would utilize it!

Hannah, you're back and I'm gone. We're on a short trip for our 24th anniversary and DH is napping and DD and I are surfing

Have you posted about your trip elsewhere? I want all the details! Why didn't you eat breakfast in the lounge? We missed you

WHEN DID YOU LEAVE!? I hope you are having fun!

I haven't posted a TR yet. I'm resizing my pictures and going through them so I can post them as I type up my TR. I should have the first post up later tonight or tomorrow after work. I did have breakfast a couple of days, but I wasn't hungry for the most part. And the birthday pin is amazing! It created a ton of pixie dust!

Hi Hannah....Waiting for your TR I'm glad the CL CMs were good to you

WDWKOOK Forgot about your trip...I was just asking about you on the RC thread Hope you and DH are having a great time!

 

[PolyTigger]

Does anyone have the current offerings for breakfast and the 5:00 service?

 

[Christine9125]

I have just started to read thru this thread and was wondering, when you do CL, do any of you also get refillable mugs?

We do not, because the mugs are only good at the resort and they only include soda and coffee. All of that is available in the lounge.
