We had a great eight days between our get out of New England early storm nights at POFQ to our BWI CL nights. Weather could’ve been better 3 of the days but at least it was minimal amount of rain.

It’s warming up a bit up here in NE for you and you luckily missed the -0 degree days last week!

Help! I'm in my 24-hour countdown panic and I just realized I have not planned for tipping in the resort. Who/how much do you guys typically tip for CL related amenities/services?

CL CMs aren’t supposed to take tips (there are CM rules in play) and generally speaking there’s nothing about a CL stay that requires tipping above what you would otherwise perhaps do at WDW - valets, bell services, housekeeping if inclined, etc.

Personally I keep track of names and make sure to write to guest services or talk to a resort manager if I want to show my appreciation/gratitude for someone. I keep a Notes list on my iPhone and try to jot it down right then or else I’m bound to forget names. Sometimes it’s hard while in the middle of a trip and running around, but I try to tell myself to do it.

I’ve read reports of people that bring little gifts from home or similar, but that’s always seemed a little messy to me - you can run across countless CMs over a CL stay, how do you possibly manage that, etc.

It’s one of those topics where you’ll hear different perspectives, but IMO the large majority of CL guests don’t tip or otherwise give anything to CMs, nor is it expected.

Hope that helps!

Oh a little gift actually might work if I can make it to the store today... I might look for something regionally popular here like Old Bay or Otterbein cookies... Thank you!

You definitely do not have to tip for CL services, although I have on a few occasions, and the tips have been accepted. Don't forget housekeeping.

Does anyone know what restaurant makes the food for the Inn Keeper's club (BW concierge level)? Is there a place to view where the food comes from at each club level resort? Thanks!

a little off topic but i just know the CL peeps would appreciate this; my daughter flew down today to wdw for a wedding at the Four Seasons; cheapest room about 1K; guess how much the wedding room rate was? $375/nt ; i am sooooo jealous; when we made her wedding at the GF, it was a big 40% off for guests so rooms were mid $400s and they dont compare to what she snap chatted me; one of those huge bathrooms with great stall shower and tub and TV in the mirror above the vanity; cant wait for our march trip to the BWI Deluxe CL; after 5 canceled trips this one better be a go! DD and DSIL will be at the Swan - they have another wedding but offsite; so we get to spend time with her and her inlaws since it is her hubbys older brother's wedding; i already included the inlaws in my MDE so i can include them in my DAS ressies and we have 3 lunches all together(6 of us) ; ill have to 'sneak' DD up to see Lorenzo - he loves her and always says she can come visit even if we arent there ; she never poaches food just gets a hug from him;

They have a coffee machine that you can use all day. It's not one of the super fancy new models, but you can make several different types of coffee drinks with it, and they have lots of syrups and stuff too.

I know during the morning/breakfast that have out large urns of regular and decaf coffee. I can’t remember if they leave them out during the day or bring them back at dessert time or if they were only filled during the morning.

Edit: I missed that you were specifically asking about BWI. My knowledge is only for YC-CL

Breakfast at the Poly this morning. Egg souffle with bacon and swiss, pancakes, sausage. Previous days had scrambled eggs, ham steaks, oatmeal every day.

The Nespresso machine they had was a newer one then the one they had when we did club level in February 2020. Pretty easy to use with instruction haha

Came back to our room at the BC to find this adorable towel formation! It’s our last night here and we’re already dreading the post-Disney withdrawal (although we miss our cats so much) it’s been one of the best trips ever! We’re headed to MK tonight for dinner and to soak up all the magic we can to take home with us To whoever has a trip coming up soon, enjoy! CL has been a dream and everyone has been so helpful
