Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

Sorry. I should have taken more pics, but I wanted to share the tiny little window in our 1-bed main bath at GDT. The privacy film was no where near high enough for me at 5’11”. I could look out and see the lake and casitas while I was in the shower.

What were they thinking?? That kind of set up is the kind of thing you sometimes see in Vegas.

Now that's creepy. Especially at night.

Yes! And we had to completely close the bedroom door because of the light from outside. I got up the first night because I thought someone forgot to turn off the lights.

We stayed in a 1-bed last year and did not have a giant window in our bathroom, so there are rooms that have a more private bathroom setup! I think this may have been done to keep symmetry from the outside? That was my only thought why they would have done it this way.

I do not understand this.

I have also been in that room. I’m 5’5” so when I stood in front the window to ouside I was “covered”.

Tall people @SkyGuy might not be as fortunate,

What about the tall people outside of the bathroom? What if your friends stop by and they are just looking around your room and whoopsy...things can't be unseen!

HI, can anyone tell me what the difference is between Contemporary CL Atrium and Tower levels? Can you eat at both lounges or can you only eat at the one on your floor? Is it exactly the same food it is one lounge better? TIA!

You can only use the lounge on your floor. The Tower Club is in the 14th floor. That floor has mostly suites, with only 2 king bed rooms & 3 - rooms with 2 queen beds. I haven’t stayed Atrium Club (12th floor) but I’ve read the balconies are a little bigger on the 14th floor. Previously only the Tower Club had sushi, but the last review said both lounges have it now. So both lounges now have exactly the same foods. The Tower Club lounge may be quieter at times, depending on how booked the suites are.

The Tower Balconies are much larger ! IMO .

Atrium balconies the exact same as the rest of the floors below.

I agree, Tower lounge is quieter

Thanks! One other question, has anyone had any luck getting a bounce back or AP discount on club level at Contemporary?

 

[jemtx]

The current AP discount isn’t giving a big discount for CL rooms (about 10%), but I was able to get a BB for CR CL this summer. It was very limited and I could only find resort view CL (Atruim club). I actually didn’t ask about Tower Club though. Good luck

Thanks! Since I’ve never been Atrium club or a regular tower room, I have no idea what size they are. I’ve only stayed Tower Club or Garden Wing. I go big or go home, nothing in between.

 

[amyspapers]

Do you mind sharing what Universal CL you tried? I am booking a stay there in July and might give the club level a try instead of a standard room. Thanks!

Hope it’s okay to pop in here. We have stayed club at Portofino bay and hard rock. Portofino Bay was amazing. Their club offerings were really strong at every meal, and it all tasted so good. It was crowded and loud in the lounge during the dinner time though. Hard rock was awful. Just terrible. My husband said he felt like he was staying at a best western. Offerings were paltry. Food was bad. Employees were efficient but unfriendly.

I have a bounce back at Atrium Club booked for the week that July turns into August, 6 nights.

I got an AP rate ( it’s only 10%) at Tower Club for Labor Day week.

We booked a bounce back for Atrium Club at CL for September when we were at WDW in November.

Which view did you get? I tried so many different dates but was unable to find TPV CL,

Ours is TPV. We booked it just a few days after Bounce Backs were re-instated. We may have just lucked into one of the few rooms that qualified.

That’s awesome.

I could only find regular TPV or Resort view CL. Had to choose view or lounge.

Thank you for this. We stayed at the Hard Rock last year and we really enjoyed it. The room was spacious, the pool was great, and we loved the short walk to the parks. So if the CL there isn't worth it I'll just book a regular room again. Besides, after 3 days at Uni we are then staying CL at Wilderness Lodge for 7 nights!

Portofino CL was great and I agree with your assessment except for the crowding. Never really crowded during our stay, plenty of tables/seats. Haven't stayed at Hard Rock, but saw reviews that echo what you said.
