From my experience I’ve only had access to both lounges while staying in a suite in a building that didn’t have a lounge. I stayed in the Everglades suite one year and had access to both lounges. I don’t care for sugarloaf though.
I think those suites are an exception, and a lot harder to get (and pricey). If I were paying that price I'd just stay in the main building so I don't have to go outside to my room....and RPC is way better.
I completely agree, for me the main building is the way to go if available.
I think, as a bucket list room, the king deluxe rooms are it in the main building. (not the ones hidden on the second floor, the ones in the turrets). Probably my favorite room I've ever had at Disney property. GF may not be my favorite resort, not my least favorite either I just like a different resort feel, but that room will always hold a special place in my heart.
If you’re willing to pay the rack rate book it. If you aren’t don’t. The more rooms booked, the fewer might be available on discount down the road. Imho if you’re willing to pay rack rate book to ensure you get it but otherwise book what hotel you’re willing to pay rack for and adjust down the road if an offer with availability comes out.
My understanding is that is only if staying in a suite in an outer building. A standard CL room in an outer building would only give you access to the lounge in the SL building.
I agree as well. There is nothing that compares to RPC for me.
I disagree but that is beside the point. 
Wow just Wow. Well we know that CL is not going to be open in 4 weeks as they have clearly stated that CL would not be available for the rest of 2020.
Although member services may not be aware of the decisions being made regarding when CL will re-open, I'm sure they can tell you what has been done for people visiting over the past few weeks with similar reservations as yours. Did she mention a refund of the point difference between CL and a standard view room?I tried calling Member Services this morning and had no luck. We were going for Moonlight Magic at DHS and 2 days at Club level with the rest in a non-Club room. They tell me my reservation by their definition is "not affected" even though Moonlight Magic is cancelled and Club is not available right now.
The CM suggested I put the points into RCI with the fee waived but I am not sure that is appealing to us. Her next offer was for me to make an offer that she could take to her supervisor. So I asked for Bay Lake Tower or Wilderness Lodge for the same time frame. She came back and they said No to both. Then she offered a stay in either Kidani or Jambo for the same time frame without the Club. I responded well I can book that myself, right? She said yes. No deal on points or any kind of upgrade.
She then said the standard response right now is they will contact me in the weeks before the check in date to offer me something else if Club is still not open. We check-in in 29 days! LOL! SO we wait again!
Did I mention how much I dislike living in Limboland? LOL!
For the reset of 2020? Who said this? I never saw an anything on it.
To get technical they have not officially stated CL won’t be available for the rest of 2020. Club level services are “temporarily unavailable”. They are bookable starting 1/1/21 but that does not mean there is a date for resumption of services.
Yes all CL rooms were removed from the system through Dec. 31,2020. As for 2021, CL rooms are available starting on Jan. 1 at resorts that are open or scheduled to open like YC and Poly. No options for resorts that are currently closed with no reopening date, BC, BWI, ALK Jambo House.
I think it's going to be quite difficult to provide CL services in the current health risk environment.
Sorry to break it to you but they have just not gotten to the Dec dates. They are still working on September changes at the moment and the BWI opening was changed to closed with no reopening date from the October 1st reopening date on July 27th.
Not arguing with you at all. We've already decided, as AP holders, that if park hopping isn't back by December, we'll cancel anyway. We have already booked a standby week in April, the week after Easter. If no CL or park hopping by then, we'll push the week into next December. I just prefer to wait for official Disney correspondence v.s. reacting to current hearsay. There is way too much disinformation being bantered about, unfortunately a lot is coming from CM's who really don't know much
.We had club Deluxe room reservations for 11/29 -12/5 and received an email a couple of weeks ago to contact them about changing. I got a BCV 2 bedroom villa. We got the price guarantee.
