Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

Thanks! I am considering booking them again for our Easter trip. But since we are in ours 60s, we rarely spend 6 hours in the parks. If I can get them overlapped it would make all the difference.

Well they don't charge you until you accept their times so worse case scenario is you don't do it if it doesn't work for you or you call again later and get a different person? Best wishes for success.

Yes! It's so unfortunate they don't offer 2 different sizes. Even S/M and M/L would be nice! Instead they just give XXL I think Lol.

No place I've ever been which has slippers has two sizes, sadly. But luckily for me, I have big feet!I think they run about average male-sized (7) or woman's 9. Maybe for your stay they got a good deal on a bunch from Scandinavia!

Last time I stayed CL @ AKL, Sue told me robes and chocolates were “by request”.

I requested. The robes were left on the bed (folded - and not very neatly!)

We did get chocolates every night after I made the request. YMMV

I had darned well better get robes. Five of them. As of right now, I'm paying rack rate for a deluxe club room at BWI to house my spouse and grown-up children. You betcha I'm making that request!

Sure and I had read about the hour apart but also read some people overlapped when they got a good CM on the phone....so I asked my first DSS phone call and they said yes if available and if rides were right next to each other thingy....so in some cases they only overlapped by 15 minutes, the best was 30 minutes...like 10:00 and 10:30. In one case they said they could not do but anyhow it will work out....worth it to me. Then I was indeed able to modify my nonCL fast pass selections too. I would not have asked if I had not read about it. Might depend on the person you get too....but I would suggest emailing your request as I did, mention you have heard they CAN and have modified to overlap CLFP and indicate which ones you would like the timeframes closer together. YES that is a very good thing. Makes perfect sense, and since it is rather costly, and we no longer have the fireworks viewing area...WOOHOO!!!!

Wow! So cool! Thank you so much for posting your experience. The only problem is now I have to make two touring plans per park- but honestly, the excessive planner in me doesn't mind that all that much!

One thing that helped us was to have the first three FP's CL passes. I chose these to be the hard to get FP's. The last three I chose less popular ones, thinking I could adjust as needed. Even if we don't use all 6 on a given day, I'm still all set with the hard to get ones.

I did that for our MK day before. But if we are planning a different park later in the day, I split the paid ones up.

I think the addition of CL passes will be invaluable for cutting down on the amount of walking I have to do. I set up our pathway through the park and get rides exactly when I want to. None of that running around backtracking based on which lines are shortest at any given time! You may find that you can enjoy six hours if they're spent more leisurely.

AKL is the only resort I have ever had to request robes (and that was only during our most recent stay in February).

They have always been in the other resort CL rooms, including last month at BWI, so no worries!

Thanks! But probabaly not. We already did the CL fastpasses earlie this year. The MK day was looong! Spent too much time waiting for the next fastpass. The other 2 days I did 3 or 4 in the morning, then the rest at a 2nd park later. Probably a better plan for people who need an afternoon nap.

Strange that I can't find this listed anywhere. I have an upcoming wl cl stay. I haven't stayed there since the CCV opening. Do we still have access to both pools?

lol I dreamed last night they would give you a paper ticket similar to an old FP ticket. You put that in the slot in elevator to get to the 7th floor. I was not happy they only gave us 1 ticket since I like to run back and forth

That's what happens when do too much preplanning I guess

Of course you do! If any issues, just say you’re with me!! LOL Funny dream!!! I had a crazy one myself!

So thanks to all for shared input on CL fastpasses ....I did email my requests the day prior, and although it did not get loaded the next morning or responded to, the CM at DSS was able to pull it up, work on it and call me back in about 15 minutes, so I didn't have to go step by step. I had mentioned I would like an overlap if possible on the lands back to back rides and they did a awesome job on that, most were done, think only one was spaced hour apart but I know from your vast knowledge here that I can simply time things to actually DO them back to back managing time slots. again to my fellow posters here! Now I still have two dates to 60 day my remaining days but WOO HOO much less work when that time comes around. Best thing of all I was able to get this done in the small time slot while the house was empty! No small feat.....got a tour booked and information on the Minnie vans as well. Guess I need to download a Lyft app but best wait as DH may inquire why it is on my phone since I have no need of such here.

Glad DSS was able to help! Good luck on your remaining FPs. Hope you have a great trip .

We had both robes and slippers in our BWI room in September. We had waffle style in our first room and the plush, cozy ones when we changed rooms the next night. We stayed at Contemporary in May and also had them!

I have BWI standard CL booked for February. We are 3 adults. Are we guaranteed 2 queen beds or is there a chance they would put 3 adults in a king room?

I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the BWI CL rooms with a king bed do not have a day bed. So with 3 of you on the reservation, I believe there is no way you would be given a king room. They have to give everyone somewhere to sleep.

Not being able to select bed types at Disney makes me slightly frustrated. I travel with just my daughter. However, we can't share a bed as DD has sleep disturbances. We have been assigned a king room at least twice. Once I was able to get a different room. The other time I didn't try as we were at the Poly and had the day bed, where she was happy to sleep. Not sure what we would do if we were ever assigned a king room with only a king bed, and they had nowhere else to put us...I guess I would say we would be willing to pay for a different category or to move to a different resort. I'm always slightly worried about that, but it hasn't happened yet. We could share a bed for a night, two at most, but anything longer would mean we would need separate beds.

Email or call dss and put in your request for 2 queens.

There are not many kings so you should be ok but by letting them know your preference , it helps when they assign rooms.

Quick question about MK fireworks from CR CL lounge balcony.
It is on the balcony, right?
And is it as good a view as CG's deck view?
Well, I guess I technically just asked 2 questions...

 

[ConnecticutNonna]

Why not just add the $99 option to get CL access for the nights you can't book CL? Often works out to be cheaper too. It was for our trip in October

Do they have that $99 option at AKL, or is it only at WL?

 

[dansdad]

At WL only.

 

[RachelTori]

WL is the only resort offering a $99 CL upgrade.


(You beat me to it, dansdad!)
