Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

[pangyal]

does anyone have a reference or link to where I could see the WL club level food offerings? I'm sure it's here somewhere but buried deep!!!

Honestly, I would just Google it. There are some really well done, in-depth reviews online.

Yep, I particularly liked this one and it was fairly accurate as of October 2019

Okay, CL family- I feel like I can share my excitement in this thread as I think that you all are the only ones who might understand the yo-yo of emotions I’m going through! We had booked our annual end-of-school trip for just me and DS (it‘s our special week ) at AKL club (DVC) for this year. Then, our Canadian airline cancelled our flights, so even if Disney opens, we would have no way of getting there. We cancelled the week, cried a bit, and then out of the blue, I was suddenly able to score five nights in a one-bedroom AKL CL in late July AND two nights at Chronos Club (have never stayed at CSR, but have been really wanting to try it based on reviews in this thread). Is it awful to say that now I feel MORE stressed than before I had to cancel, because I am so worried about how they will handle CL? I feel like it sounds so spoiled of me to be concerned about this with all that’s going on, but I thought maybe you all would understand .

YAY! Happy for you!

I started mom n me trips when dd was 11 and ds had his 1st one at 10. Best times!

CSR is nice! The lounge is amazing. It is so modern and spacious.

The restaurants in old El Centro can be accessed by an enclosed walkway which is convenient.

Dont forget to check MDE for last min res. That worked great for us.

I'm sorry you had to cancel your end of school trip, but glad you were able to rebook for July. I hope you have a great trip .

Hey guys! I too cut ties with our end of June/4th of July trip yesterday. Canceled our 1st stay at BWI CL too We did reschedule for August though, and with that, came a renewed feeling of optimism!! I was excited to get AKL Savanna view (Our 1st time staying there!) and Poly, which I’m really looking forward to going back to. Both are using my DVC points. I did look to see if we could add AK CL for one day at the start of that trip, but nothing is available. The other part of that is I probably wouldn’t eat anything there, so I’d pretty much be paying for drinks, so not sure if it’s worth it. I’m going to keep GDT CL for November for now. I’d still like to change that to GF. I was only able to get two restaurants for August, but I’ll keep looking. Now onto making 14 days of FP again. (Only took me all morning to get them all done a couple weeks ago for our June/July trip ) But honestly, I like the excitement and stress of it all. Good luck to everyone else making changes!!!

Lol I can’t keep track of all the maybe dates I’ve booked

AKL is great! Good idea to do when kids still young enough to enjoy it too.

Yep book a Ressie anywhere. It may be only way to get fed

it’s SO frustrating not knowing anything, but I definitely feel a bit more confident with August than I did June.

I’m looking forward to trying Animal Kingdom! We watched a few videos last night, and although beautiful, it looks massive! Just not sure what area to request, but I have time to look into that!

We will definitely keep an eye on ADR’s - my kids have their faves they must do every trip, but of course, they are the hardest to get!

I hope you and your family are well!!

Okay, so I know it might not be much to all of you 'seasoned club level-ers', but I just booked my first ever club level resort stay for December....at Wilderness Lodge in a deluxe room. I'm beyond happy, but mainly because I can be at my favorite resort during the Christmas holiday. I'm only worried that once I dip my toe into the world of Club Level, it will be difficult to go back!

OK - so I am seriously thinking of changing my December Reservation to this - I need to do more research on WL CL!!!

I'm surprised I was even able to find what I was looking for at the lodge. Rooms go so quickly at Christmas time.

It's frustrating indeed! Trying to reschedule from March/April trips that got cancelled, I booked flights for August a few weeks ago, but I haven't booked a resort yet. Waiting to see how things go once DS opens .

Congrats on booking your first CL stay! I won't lie.....CL is addicting....lol. Hope you have a great time and enjoy CL .

I'm glad you scheduled a redo! Your split sounds fun!!
We are scheduled for 7/6 but I am really considering canceling. I have an August backup for BWI CL but you've got me thinking of a split stay. I loved that last summer! Good luck with your dining and FPs!

Almost missed it! My TA thought tomorrow the 499 day mark for 9/30/21!
Nope it’s today!

Lucky a friend booked hers , thx @BlueSkies and told me to call.

I got a king room in the Tower Club @ CR for 9/30-10/3/21 for the 50th Anniversary.

Those rooms face MK , woohoo!

Always wanted to try that CL.

So call and book now, rooms going fast!

 

[osufeth24]

After booking a room at the Beach Club, I kind of want to upgrade to a CL. But will def see what the experience is like when everything reopens. It's not until Feb so I have time to see what it's like.

A great plan for the 50th Anniversary!

You have a choice of one of the two king rooms: 4911 or 4912 with almost instant access to the lounge. Room 4911 is right next to the lounge and 4912 is the next room north away from the lounge. We stayed in 4911 in the mid 2000's and it had a somewhat unique tower bathroom configuration consisting of a shower stall only (no tub) and a bidet.

Are you saying to call now for tower club or for everything next summer? I'm starting to panic lol. I won't know when we can go until November. Should I just book every week the whole summer

Thanks for the info!

Can’t wait!

No I mean for the 50 Anniversary 10/1/21. Lots of people want to be at CR that weekend.

Next summer you have time.

They do have a basic package that you only pay $200 deposit for and can change later. It includes luggage tags n some activities. That’s a good way to book some maybes and tie up too much.

Good luck!! Over on the DVC side things were spotty and disappearing quickly! I literally pieced the Poly part of the trip together- picking up days as people dropped them!! Stressful, but happy we’re booked!!! I hope you get what you want!!!

I'm glad you scheduled a redo! Your split sounds fun!!

Thanks!! I LOVE split stays!! We stay longer, so staying at one place too long might get boring!! At least this way, it feels almost like we’re on two trips in one! On top of that, we try to stay at two different areas so we can concentrate on the parks closest to the resort we’re staying at. Have fun planning!! Hope you get answers soon!
