I currently prefer BWI CL over GF CL Sugarloaf. The staff was more engaged and the night offerings tastier and less starchy. GF shone for breakfast and the afternoon tea offerings but we preferred the self service late night cordials at both BWI and YC CL.

I find the Delta's "Comfort Plus" good enough so that I can't tell the difference. I've never been in first class, but I feel 100% comfortable on the flight (seat's comfortable, sufficient leg room, the 2+4 hours fly by quickly, I feel perfectly good at the end, plenty of luggage space due to preboarding, I don't drink) and can't imagine it being better. Is first class really worth it?Beware- you may never go back to coach again.
Well, that's a value proposition that you have to answer for yourself, just like being in Club Level.

To me, the seat is just part of it- something one might not know if upgrades at the gate is one's only experience with it. It cuts down on a ton of standing in line.I have RA so this matters a lot to me. There is priority at the check-in counter, at TSA, at boarding, and when picking up your luggage. . I spend way less time at the airport than I used to.
If you're running late it's a lifesaver. One time in San Jose I made a mistake on my flight time and was off by an hour and still made the flight. Curb-to-seat was less than 20 minutes- I know, because I was watching the clock!
The upshot of it is that it's made flying fun again. My vacation starts when I leave my house, instead of when I get to my destination. And if my destination is Europe, the whole first day is much better because I've slept. I figure flying first class gives me 3 extra days of vacay when I fly overseas!
It’s hard... I am the same way. I LOVE Disney, and just assume everyone else will love it too. My DH’s co-worker and his family went a couple years ago... we gave them all the advice we could before they left. When they got back, they said it was the worst vacation they’ve ever been on and would never go back. They now refer to Disney as ‘Hell’ when we talk about it.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess! I’m sure your friend will be just fine. It’s still vacation, how bad can it be???
We had a trip that was almost that bad, and I decided I must be missing something- so I found sites like the DIS and others, and the last few times we went it was great. This time I'm VERY pro-active because I know it's gotten even more crowded in the past few years. Hence booking CL from the start as opposed to waiting to see if the prices came down. And buying a few extras like dessert party and CL Fastpasses. Learning about Minnie Van and Uber. I'm ready to do battle!
If we could take more time, I'd be more chill but the kids all have their schedules......

Depending on when you're there, we might see you. Two weeks AKL CL in Sept
DGD insisted that for our upcoming trip she and her bestie want to sleep in mornings because "it's vacation". I gave it some thought and decided to let the 2 of them live w/ their decisions to some degree. Since CL stops serving breakfast around 10:00 AM they have to be dressed and have eaten by then since I'm not paying for breakfast twice
. Made all our FPs starting around noon and we'll take it from there. I suspect the man and I are gonna need a vacation from this vacation because I just know they aren't going be happy unless they drag us out every night
.Are you traveling with kiddos? If so they are going to wuvvv the pool! I tried to drown myself in 4 feet of water coming off the water slide soooo maybe I won't return there until I'm sure all the CMs forget what I look likeI've never stayed BC CL, but I feel the same about GF SL. I'm glad I tried it, but it's not for me. The lounge doesn't have a comfortable atmosphere (at least not to me) and since it's located in the lobby of the SL building, there are no windows/views. I love the GF, but SL isn't a CL I have any desire to return to. Hope you have a great return trip to BC CL
Yes, DVC rooms are located on the 6th floor. Getting contacted by Disney Signature Services (DSS) is hit or miss as some people get a call and/or email, while others never hear anything. If you have questions, room requests, etc., you can always contact them. Have a great trip
I agree! Haven't stayed YC CL (trying it for first time in June), but I loved BWI CL and would choose that over GF SL without hesitation
