There are small tables and chairs set up around the balcony area. You do'nt need to take offerings back to your room.
While the WL was nice, with no place to sit while you worked with the concierge staff on PS's or other needs, and no "dedicated" lounge, it was lacking and it will never be on the short list for WDW CL rooms. I heard a rumour that they will be doing some remodeling and adding an actual lounge. Hopefully it won't be like the YC/BC where they close the doors to the lounge a good part of the time during the day, and even when it is open, there's no comfortable seating area, just tables and chairs like a restaurant, which we didn't like.
