Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

Don’t feel bad—many of us here are website stalkers. When is your trip? Sometimes at the 30 or 5 day mark lots of stuff opens up bc people change their mind as their cancellation deadline approaches. Are you really set on having CL or would you prefer to be at CR or near MK? I’ve never stayed BWI so I can’t help give you an opinion, but I know lots of people on here love the CL at BWI. In some ways I always think CL is less necessary at the monorail resorts compared to the Crescent lake ones bc everything is so convenient on the monorail. I especially find this true at CR bc everything is an elevator ride down to 4th floor. Keep checking and hopefully what you want will open up.
Thank you so much!
Our trip is mid November and I did want club level because it seemed easier for the picky kids to grab snacks and such. I have never stayed at CR and my daughter is set on it!

Edit to say….
I do feel much better now that you pointed out the ease of just going to the 4th floor! I hadn’t really thought of it like that!

Totally understand. CL is great for that with kids. CR is probably my favorite resort as well. Contempo cafe on the 4th has lots of snacks and plain food for kids as well. If you are in the tower it’s pretty easy to pop down. Try playing with discounts. The general population is only 5% less than the FL resident one. I think there is also a Disney+ one for very limited fall dates. I think you still have time for a cancellation to pop up. You just never know. Good luck.
 
Thanks for those pictures @trishadono. Something just struck me as I noticed the cabinets & counters in them. YC has been our favorite resort since the 90s but CR & Tower Club are now a very close 2nd. We remodeled our family room & half bath in late 2018 into 2019. When I showed my DIL the pictures of the cabinet & counters I picked out, her first response was… they’re just like at YC. No I insisted, they’re not. Next trip to YC…yep, almost exactly the same.

Now we’re planning a remodel to our main bathroom. We picked out the cabinets & counter top 2 weeks ago. I wanted the same cabinet color as we have downstairs but it’s not available. I picked a different color & have been second guessing it the last few days. Then I saw your pictures, yep, the cabinet color & countertops are almost exactly like the TC lounge. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂. I guess I just want to live on vacation. :rolleyes1:rotfl2:
Too funny and true! My house has many Disney influences too.
 

Good thing I didn’t book cl this trip. We have 2 mnsshp and tonight D23 just gave us 9-10:30 snacks and unlimited rides of SE, TT and GOTG from 10:30-12a tonight,

Almost forgot Moana preview 5-9p as well.

No rest for the weary, go go go……
That is so cool. Go ride Guardians!! Have fun.

I only stayed CR once, post covid and CL wasn't open yet. It was very convenient to getting food and drinks though. We stayed.BWI CL last summer and loved it. I last year I could initially only get discounted rooms for part of our stay but as it got closer I was able to snag a discount for my entire stay. Stalking pays off. Lol

Good info thanks!!
 
Any food pics you can share? 🙂 (Or details?)
Sorry, didn’t get any pics inside the chronos Club. But they had the following food options:

Breakfast- had juices (even POG juice), fruit, boiled eggs, cereals, kind bars, pastries (coffee loaf and banana bread were my favourite), croissants, bread, bagels, oatmeal, either scrambled eggs or Spanish omelette and either bacon or sausages. I love the coffee machine at Chronos. They change between banana bread, cinnamon loaf, coffee loaf and raspberry and cream cheese loaf. They are all nice.

Snacks- yogurt covered pretzels, packets of like trail mix (love these), crudités, uncrustables, chupa chups, packets of crisps, cookies, goldfish, crackers and cheese. I loved the cookies and came wrapped so could take to room and eat.

Hors D’oeuvre- wasn’t really there for this so can’t say much.

Desserts- cookies, yogurt covered pretzels and different desserts (white chocolate cheesecake, pecan blondies, chocolate brownies)

I can’t remember it all but this some of the things I remember.
 
So I guess we’re in the final countdown of GF Royal Palm Club reopening - who here will be first to give us a report!?

In a way this will round out a multi-year cycle of resort and lounge renovations, which in general have mostly brought improvements to the CL lounge experience, in my opinion.

I concede RPC is not necessarily my favorite CL experience and I swore off staying there after my last stay (March 2022) until the rooms were renovated - so I guess now I don’t have an excuse anymore, if I can ever actually find any availability. 🙃

Very curious to see what all they have done to the lounge space.
 
How does Disney keep the under 21 crowd from serving themselves up a drink at the CLs that are self serve? I am surprised it's legal to not have the alcohol supervised at all times. Or am I missing something here?
 
Has anyone been to AKL CL lately? We are there in a couple of weeks and I haven't seen any updates in awhile. We were there last fall and I was curious if there's been any changes.
 
Hi! I’m currently having trouble deciding between WL CL and BWI CL. Would you be able to share your opinions on which may have better food offerings and has a more quiet lounge? Thank you!

We were there last at the end of August. Other than the small freezer for the ice cream novelties finally being de-iced, everything seems to be the same! The food offerings haven’t changed for dinner in at least seven years, so at least there is consistency there, lol. They did bring back some “kid” foods for dinner and rotate through chicken nuggets, corn dogs and roll ups/ uncrustables day by day. They also rotate between bacon and sausages for breakfast. On our last night, they had a few new red wines, but I was told it was just a “fun” addition for that evening and the wines will continue to be what they have been for years, just like the food.

So, to sum up- same old, same old 😆

Have a GREAT time!
