Disney Resort Club Level Recommendations

[4gotto]

Which has the best Club Level food and service of the deluxe resorts? We are in the beginning stages of planning an all adult trip, party of 7, celebrating a Law School Graduate, a 30th bday, and a MS Graduate! Plenty of time before I have to book - just starting to research/get some ideas. We also have two slightly picky eaters - if that means anything? TIA!

Here’s the dedicated club level thread. There are pictures & reports from the different club levels. Although you’ll get just as many “best” opinions as there are club levels.

The first page isn’t kept up but if you start at the end & go backwards, you’ll get pretty current info.

It's not my thing but BWI CL tends to get arguably the most rave reviews for food and service just judging by the numerous fans. My personal favorites are Poly and CR CL, but that's just me, although I can find reason to like pretty much any CL. So many pros/cons of all of them. If you watch/read the chatter on the before-mentioned thread you start to see general commentary/trends.

I personally tend to recommend picking resort/location first, then CL as a secondary influence. Sounds like you have a lot of things to celebrate and some time to figure it out. Happy planning!

I do think it’s personal preference-

I struggle with ranking RPC or poly cl above the other. Those are our two favorites. We chose poly cl this time. We’ve stayed at them all. We prefer the magic kingdom resorts to Epcot resorts with the kids and this trip is a big one for our 6 year old since she hasn’t been since pre-Covid.

With your group being adults I think I would go with one of the Epcot resorts. We love being close to Epcot for dinners and there is so much new stuff at Hollywood studios too. I think I would do bwi if your concern is the lounge/offerings etc. however, we prefer yacht and beach overall as a resort.

I would suggest reading through the club level page someone linked above, look at pictures and even videos of the rooms online and see what appeals to you.

I agree, at first glance at your party, I would choose an Epcot resort, either BWI (my adult sons' favorite) or YC (my Epcot area choice). BC too many kids. Also, the Epcot resorts tend to be (relatively speaking now...) less expensive than the MK resorts. The adults will enjoy being able to walk over to WS for food and drinks.

btw you said you have plenty of time: I would say you have 'some' time...I am guessing that this is for May 2023 and keep in mind lots of people travel in May since schools are out and there are celebrations such as yours. I would aim to book no later than 6 months out to have your choice of room categories. You can book now and then check back for discounts in the future.

We've recently stayed CL twice at BC and had wonderful experiences both times. The staff was awesome and the food was delicious! My only criticism is the "afternoon snacks" which consists of bagged chips, etc and some cookies. Not too exciting.

It's like asking a parent to pick their favorite kid. All are great, depending on the day of week you ask

The dedicated CL thread will give you all the details you'll need to come to a conclusion of the one that fits you best

That’s what all the club levels have got for afternoon snacks now. The only exception might be GF. I think someone recently posted that they have brought back soup mid day. But I’m not positive about the timing on that. Might be with apps. But packaged snacks are all you can expect right now in the afternoon.

Ah yes! You're right about adults and Epcot. I'll be sure to keep that in mind! Thank you!!!
