Concierge/Club Level Information- Part IV, July 2012

[abk96]

At BW CL there is a round cloth covered table where many guests place their dirty dishes. It is regularly cleared by CM's. It's not hard to miss, as you walk in it's slightly ahead and to your left.

Perfect! I will look for the table.

Thank you.

I totally know how you feel. I like to be in control so if something goes wrong, I know why. However, we have stayed CL several times. Specifically last two trips at WL CL. We have never had a problem, at all. The only issue is when we book within the 180 days and have to make a few adjustments for what is actually available.

Our next stay is in June at BWI (because we got a really good discount on deluxe room). We booked within the 180 days, got all ADR's we wanted. Even changed some several weeks later and got what we wanted.

The IPO's are very good at what they do. They have to tell you it takes a few days to get back to you, but I would put money on them emailing you on Saturday.

I vote for you to leave it be. I think most here would advise the same.

Keep us informed and I hope you have a wonderful vacation.

Thank you for your reply. It made me feel a little better. I will more than likely decide tomorrow night what I am going to do. Right now I am leaning toward them doing it except for one or two of them.

Tomorrow is day 180. I'm hoping I get an email bright and early with all my wish list ADRs I sent into IPO at BC

I am like you too hard to give up control. But last couple times I let poly cl do it and they did a great job everything I asked for. I didnt get the email first thing in the am but I checked my acct and saw charges for cinderella case so I knew it was done first thing in the am. Fyi I hear a lot of people are having a hard time doing extended dining only so if you decided to do it yourself you may have to call. Good Luck!

Today was ADR day. At 7:30am I got an email from BC IPO that they got every single one of our requested ADRs for the times I asked for for our entire 11 day stay. I am so so excited. 180 days to go!! Weve never stayed CL before and I'm already in love with it!!

 

[stephgles]

So even though I emailed my packet to WL IPO, I woke up at 6:00 this morning to book one or two adr's. When I logged onto My Disney Experience, to my surprise, all my adrs were there already at 6:05. Will never have doubt again. That alone is completely worth the CL experience. So looking forward to our trip. Now to get through the next 180 days.

I was hoping you could help out with lunch suggestions. It's just DH and I.

We like sit down lunches when staying CL because we always take an afternoon break and are in the lounge for evening apps and drinks.

With that said we head back out to parks and maybe have a small bite to eat.

I have

Le cellier (i am happy with this)
Teppan Edo (new to us)
Liberty Tree Tavern (very unsure about this one)
Mama melrose
Yak and yeti

Let me know what you think.

Well how come Kona Cafe not on your list? My dd favorite lunch place. I love Teppan Edo for dinner.
We are excited! We are staying Poly CL 4/5-4/8 and for lunches we are going to do Epcots Marketplace ( similar to food n wine)

We love The Food and Wine Festival and so happy this looks very similar

I lived in Wescosville for 3 years...small world!

Ya know before we upgraded to CL i had a breakfast at Kona but cancelled it. How much time out of our day to leave MK eat at Kona and go back? I am imagining at least 1 1/2 hours

Very happy for you. This is one of the reasons I love CL.

We LOVE LOVE LOVE WL CL and the WL resort and I'm sure you will too.

We usually take monorail and just go to Kona as a walk in. Usually get seated right away too. We do go on early side 1130-12. We eat fast and get back to the park and could do in an hour. Depends if having a leisurely lunch or just eating and run, lol. DD always gets pulled pork tacos! Her absolute fav disney meal. They changed my favorite salad with steak on it so not happy. I have been doing a side salad with the steak appetizers instead. Yummy. The sticky wings are very good too. The creme carmel dessert with carmelized banana and a smitch of chocolate is a very interesting too.

I like that we can get lunch and go right back to the park. Also easy to walk to TTC and take monorail to Epcot as well.

My husband had a late flight in tonight and woke me up. I am NOT a night owl and am going to be tired tomorrow!

 

[imobsessedwithdisney]

Good morning. We are staying BC CL are there washer/dryers on the floor or are they only by the pool?

I was just there and they are down by the pool.

It is a small world. LOL.

We love WL. It is our home away from home. This is our first stay CL and as you saw was a bit nervous about the whole ADR thing but, seeing how it works now it is completely worth stay CL just for that.

I do have one question. I read on a few boards that CL rooms have DVDs and an area were you can pick out DVD's. Is this still the case at WL? Thank you in advance for any replies to this question.

We stayed WL CL in 2011 and the concierge by the elevators (across from the lounge on the CL floor) had a large binder with all of the DVD offerings. We were able to borrow two the same evening. It was a great relaxing option!

Thank you. So that means they have players in the room too. My family can never agree on a tv show so I always pack a small dvd player. If I dont have to pack a dvd player, that means more room in suitcase to buy things down there.

 

[iheartjuppy]

Yup, the DVD players were in the room, connected to the TV!

ETA I should not be allowed to lurk in these threads - I just called AKL and it's only $300 total to upgrade to CL for our upcoming 5 night stay. Booking it now!! I'm so easily swayed!

 

[bean bunny]

We just booked a WL club level stay for two nights in May. We've done YC CL several times but this is our first WL stay. What do we need to know? What should I not miss?

Thank you!
