Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

[Ashley Marie]

We did indeed get the exact room we requested (I’d just given it as an example of one we liked).

And got a little welcome gift - a box of cookies.

Has anyone added CL to their regular room reservation at WL upon arrival lately? We have a non CL reservation in September because we are traveling with family who prefer the dining plan...ugh. Since it is a family trip and we want the kids to spend time with grandparents, we opted to forgo CL. However, we just made a 2 night addition to the trip which will require us to have a new reservation and we'd like to add CL when we check in. Not sure if this is a gamble since we've never done it this way!

Yes quite frequently since it is not an advertised option at the WL. It is only available due to the number of CL rooms that were removed when the south side of the main lodge was converted to CCV DVC. You don't get robes in your non-CL room but you get all the other CL features.

Just ask at check-in at the front desk if there is an availability at $99 per room per night for your reservation length of stay. In you case you might add it to one or both of your reservations.

It is a good way to avoid the 1/2 wall balconies on the CL floor as this option may be added to any standard hotel room. Please note this option is not available to guests staying in DVC accommodations.

Oh, and the kids were given sand pails & shovels by the CL staff. Coloring book, crayons and stickers inside.

Just because?

Does anyone know if beach club club level still has individual shampoos? If they switched to the mass bottles in the shower I want to bring my own. Last club level was Animal Kingdom in January and they still had the individual items.

At the YC CL right now and they definitely have the individual shampoo bottles, do not know about the BC

I don’t know. The CM who walked us over to the building when checking in told them that we were having a pool day, and they took them out to give to the kids. Everyone working here has been very nice.

Appetizer offerings tonight at Poly included:

- Kona coffee BBQ pulled pork sliders
- Macadamia nut encrusted mahi
- Crab deviled eggs
- Chicken nuggets with a dollop of sweet & sour sauce and PB & J in the “kids corner” (let’s be honest, I ate more of the chicken than my kids)
- Rolls & pitas with butter and spreads
- little plates of mozzarella & tomato
- Variety of cheese cubes
- the usual assortment of veggies
- Grapes and other standard fruit
- Pineapple and caramel sauce
- Wine, sparkling wine
- Some kind of mystery “alcoholic punch” which I’ve enjoyed very much
- The usual beer, cider, sodas
- Pog juice, lemonade, etc.

I know most people say CL doesn’t replace meals for their families, but we haven’t eaten anywhere else today and we are stuffed. And dessert is still to come!

It’s just a little check-in gift for the kiddos. They’ve given them to my kids in the past, although didn’t on my last trip, but glad to see it back. Fun for some sand play time.

Pineapple and Caramel! Hoping that still there!

So alcoholic beverages too? I had never heard that and it would bring me such joy.

Yes, I get a red wine or sparkling as early as 11am to take to the pool. I add a splash of pog (it’s out at 11:30) to either wine or sparkling.

Just a dash of pog is so yummy!

Beers may be out in the cooler. Usually @GADisneyDad14 will be the “go to” on that if needed.

I just realized this was for poly. Hopefully they do this at beach club too.

You told me before, but I forgot! Are you at BWV now and then moving to SL? On what date? I can't remember if we'll cross paths when I'm still at Poly. We have a somewhat weird trip planned and will be at Poly CL TPV on July 2 and 3. Then moving to YC CL on July 4-7. Only 5 nights, but it is a much needed getaway as my kids are FINALLY done with rigorous NYS regents testing and then a killer week at gymnastics camp which kicked their butts and my butt as the roundtrip driver each day We are all very much looking forward to a well needed Disney break!!

Hey girl!!! Good memory! We’ll be moving from BW to SL on 7/2! We are supposed to have drinks with family at Trader Sams one of those days, so I’ll be sure to let you know when we’ll be by! Hope you have a great trip!!!!! Sounds like you can really use a break!!!!!

When they have uncrustables out are they all the same (i.e. all strawberry or all grape)? Do they ever have the just peanut butter ones or the peanut butter and honey kind? Could we request just peanut butter or peanut butter and honey ones? My daughter can’t eat jelly. But will want uncrustables if her sister is having them. Just trying to figure out if I need to order some in a grocery delivery.

Thank you Dave! Glad to hear that you've been able to add it frequently. We weren't sure if they advertised it to everyone at check in causing it to be unavailable often. We're definitely planning on adding it to the reservation when we won't have family with us!

Oh, it's totally unadvertised to the best of my knowledge. Word of mouth is the only way to know of it. I'm sure some TA have learned (from here I'm willing to bet) and have spread it to their clients but I bet that's not very many at all.

 

[AEA1127]

Thank you @AngiTN ! My husband, who before our first CL trip didn't know if it would be worth it, is now completely hooked. He's having a hard time dealing with the idea of being at WL without CL on this upcoming trip . We're willing to pay for a CL room but obviously adding it on when we arrive would save some money. Since it's probably just going to be for a couple of nights, we figured we'd try it this way if we wouldn't be turned away. Glad to hear that it's slightly secretive and we will hopefully be successful in adding it!
