Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

[DisneyFansInNYC]

@DisneyFansInNYC Mind if I ask, did you request the location of your room, or did you just get the luck of the Deluxe draw?

I did not request anything - I just prayed. When we went to check in our room wasn't ready yet - the CM said she could give us another deluxe room that was ready but that the room they had for us was worth waiting for. So we waited and it was worth it.

@DisneyFansInNYC thanks so much - your info along with that map you linked have helped tremendously!

You are very welcome. When I first heard of the lounge construction I thought that they were just renovating the lounge not realizing that they were relocating it. I wish I knew when it would be done. Do you know that?

Hi. I also would like to know when it will be finished.

You are very welcome. When I first heard of the lounge construction I thought that they were just renovating the lounge not realizing that they were relocating it. I wish I knew when it would be done. Do you know that?

I check the WL thread quite often to see about lounge updates, and the last thing I saw was this post on October 11:
They are hoping that the new lounge will open by Christmas, but a CM believes it may be early 2017.

I'm keeping a close eye on the progress of the lounge. I'd really like the new one to be open when we go! I'm thinking by April it will be....

I also need to find out about the health club, like where it is there and if it's affected by the construction.

Yes that is what I think. I had read that the Honeymoon suites were the rooms right next to the TV which is those few rooms to the left of the lounge (while standing in the lounge looking out) 95 and 96.

I stayed in a HM room on the North wing. Yes they were to the left of the TV sitting area on that side. Really close to the lounge but quiet since there were just the two rooms there

Have a great time, pas!

I hope a January trip works out for you and also that your November/Dec RPC stay is better this time around .



Have a great trip! I hope you will report back about your stay when you return .

Me too Thank you!

Thank you - that is the answer we were looking for. I read a review where someone said it was loud in those rooms due to the TV being close. I guess, as always, it depends on the time you are there and who is watching TV.

DD21 and I do many mom and me trips each year. Hands down we are mono girls! Due to budget we have to do some mods once in a while and even values! However when we can get a good price cr/poly and gf for us! CL for me is a treat because when on vaca I love the not cooking part!

Jan 2015 our choices were any mod or wl(budget). Then I looked at cl price and that year it wasn't too bad so I splurged.

Have to say we really liked it. I found the cm's to be very friendly. More importantly the guests seemed friendlier too. There were lots of extended families really enjoying their family time.(compared to gf for ex and the often entitled people i see there)

I was surprised how much more of everything there was compared to poly and Cr cl's. Evening apps had plenty to choose from and I loved the comfort foods they had too. The cooler was better stocked as well. My favorite I often mention is the nightly warm cobbler. YUUUUUMMMMY

Don't forget it is a quick boat or bus over to mk OR cr. Then you can still visit or eat at all your favs pretty conveniently.

You can still see fireworks and EWP from WL too!

I am struggling a bit now with my jan move to AKl because WL is something I am looking forward to. However dd loves tea time at gf and since they have it there we can have scones everyday which will make us fat , I mean happy.

Besides , who doesn't love to see giraffes from their balcony?

Hey @DisneyFansInNYC and other WL folks, quick question if you have a second. I know I could probably find this on on the WL thread, just looking for some direct feedback (sorry!). For the "Deluxe Room - Club Level Access" rooms, are all of these going to be on a non-CL floor? How far are we realistically talking from room to lounge? I know the lounge is moving to a new location soon (right?), not sure if that changes the answer? Does being on a different floor really change things that much?....

Correct, all the Deluxe CL rooms are located on floors 1-6 and the OFC lounge is located on the 7th floor. The elevators are located at the midway point in the hallway, so a short walk and then a ride up to 7.

Note that there are now only 2 Deluxe CL rooms per floor now that the South wing is closed for construction.

We're staying for the first time at BWI CL next September. Do all of the BWI CL rooms have balconies?
So excited for our first time at BWI.

Yes, but please note that some of the balconies on the Boardwalk side of the 4th floor are integrated into the roof-line and in my view have a "Closed in feeling".

What type of room are you reserving and I can suggest some "requests"?

I have a question -- are any of the north wing deluxe rooms in the "inner" part of the wing or are they all at the ends of the wing on each floor?

 

[GADisneyDad14]

@TJA - I think I just had an "ah ha" moment about all of this. For some reason I was thinking @DisneyFansInNYC Wl trip was a recent stay, but it was spring 2015, pre renovation. That room isn't even available right now with the south wing closed. So I've had this conversation messed up in my head the whole time. Doh!

Barring the south wing reopening by the spring and still containing Deluxe rooms that haven't been converted to DVC (which I guess is an unknown), looks like north wing it is!

Ok, I'm done worrying about this. Just going to let it roll and see how it goes!

They are all at the end overlooking the lake/trees/cabin construction. Room x003, does have a partial view of the inner courtyard from the small balcony with the larger balcony overlooking the lake/trees/cabin construction as stated above.

We have a standard CL room booked. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

For us, it was like having our own TV spot. Probably because the food was on the other "wing". I think the kids area was on the other side by the other two HM. The pics of our view is on the WL thread, @WDWKOOK had posted them for me We could see Wishes from the balcony, but there were bats outside and I kind of freaked the freak out

I am struggling a bit now with my jan move to AKl because WL is something I am looking forward to. However dd loves tea time at gf and since they have it there we can have scones everyday which will make us fat , I mean happy.

So true, and all this WL talk I am missing that boat to MK now COBBLER SOOOOOO yummy!!

Close to lounge for sure! Some of the BWI CL rooms are outside of the secured Innkeeper's Club door, so my preference would be closer proximity to the lounge. We could see the Eiffel Tower and Illuminations from our Standard CL room...it's a pretty awesome Standard view

This explains a lot - thanks!

 

[TJA]

@GADisneyDad14 Yes...lol. Something clicked when I read some of Dave006's posts, and I immediately realized I had the whole thing reversed in my mind (I thought the south wing was the north wing....)

No problem, the Boardwalk CL Std rooms have some of the best views in Epcot area.

Let's start with the Village Green group, they overlook the "village green" between the BWI and the BWV with some rooms having a Crescent lake view, but this group are located outside the Doors to the Inn Keepers Club. Next up would be the group of Std rooms that look out to Epcot at the very end of the hall. Next up would be "Close to the lounge", they overlook the inner courtyard and the roofs of the Outer building CL rooms, some times called the "honeymoon" houses. And finally, the CL Std rooms that overlook the lawn and the quite pool.

Review the "views" above and let me know what your preference would be and I can give you some sample "room" view requests so that the Room Assigner has the best idea of what you are requesting.

Close to lounge for sure! Some of the BWI CL rooms are outside of the secured Innkeeper's Club door, so my preference would be closer proximity to the lounge. We could see the Eiffel Tower and Illuminations from our Standard CL room...it's a pretty awesome Standard view

The entire 4th floor is quite short so in my "view" all CL rooms are close to the lounge. For example, I don't care for the long winding hallways in the YC / BC or even the AKL CL rooms.

Just a reminder: all room requests within a given booking class, are only requests and can not be guaranteed.
