Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

[gottalovepluto]

Wondering if any who has been very recently has been able to swim? Specifically looking at a last minute YC CL trip and I’ve never been at this time of year. I don’t want “waste” a trip to YC and SAB if it’s a bad time of year for it.

Also, I don’t think so, but have there been any changes (positive or negative) to the YC CL food line-up?
Thanks.

it was like 85 at MK yesterday- but the high is 64 on Wed. I’ve been in Nov and it’s been mid-50s.

Alas, welcome to FL.

We just returned from a four night stay at the Beach Club, Nov 28-Dec 2. The first two days were VERY cold, in the 50's, especially Tuesday. There were a few kids in the sandy kid's pool but not too many people braved SAB. The next two days were warm enough to swim. So, the weather can vary.

Thanks. Hope you had a good trip.

Thanks. Hope you had a good trip.

We had such a good trip that I booked the bounce back for the same dates next December but at POR instead of BC.

That’s awesome! I’ve heard that the week after thanksgiving is a great time for crowds, weather, decorations, etc.

Just got back Saturday. We always travel this time of year and swimming can definitely be hit or miss. It really depends on you and your preferences (as far as temps outside and the pool itself go.) I’m content being poolside with a drink in my hand and watching everyone else swim lol I feel like we swam more Christmas week the past few years than Thanksgiving/Week after. Weather this time of year is all over the place. As far as crowds, some days were better than others. The week after Thanksgiving used to be great, we literally used to walk on every ride, but it changed so much! Can’t beat the holiday spirit in Disney, though!! Have fun!

Thanks for all the help everyone. The trip is on pause now bc some of our trip dates are unavailable on the theme park reservation calendar for APs. I thought there was al separate availability for hotel stay APs, but I guess I was mistaken. I can’t get magic kingdom for 2 of the days of a very short trip.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii just a few questions - we are booked for Marathon Weekend in a Boardwalk Garden Cottage/Suite - Club Level. Has anyone stayed in these before? Will the club lounge reach out themselves with a pre-arrival email? If so, around what time before our stay?

Is it worth it to request a particular garden suite over another?

Also... think they will be able to help us out with any dining reservations for the most desired dinners? We have Ohana at 4 after the marathon but would love to even get it pushed to 5 (but not going to be upset if not possible!)...

Excited! Have only stayed in a BWV/DVC studio

Also, tell me more about the club-level brunch on Sunday? Is it really the sh*t or was it just like any other day?

I think... you can book a different park, and hop to MK after 2pm. We did this with our APs.

I love the garden cottages. I posted pics of our cottage from last week on page 2112. There are three that have a balcony and do not have the garden and fence around them. I really don't like those. They are 1205, 6 and 7. We were assigned one once and I asked to be moved. They were smaller inside and a completely different configuration, plus I love the fence and gardens. There is a table and chairs on the patio, but I don't have a pic of it. We have always gotten a call from a CL CM 5 days before. No real Sunday brunch anymore, just a mimosa and bloody mary bar. My only request is for one with a garden. 1201 is right next to the smoking section...convenient if you smoke not so good if you don't. As for changing a dining ressie they may be able to and may not. Did you try to modify in the app? Keep trying up to the day of. People change ressies all the time and things open up even last minute.

Sitting at the airport in Nashville, got here early like the news told us to because of construction. We are delayed 2 hours with our flight coming in from Chicago. Oh well, our room will be ready when we get there!

Look what is in our room this trip!

I apologize if this has been mentioned - but we're coming May 12 - 18. Still unsure where we will stay, but oddly YC CL shows no availability (yet BC CL is wide open). CR doesn't even list CL at all - not even as unavailable.

All the other CLs are normal. Just a glitch I guess?

That’s so strange with availability. Another refurbishment somewhere??

This is crazy - CR is showing CL now. I've checked for over a week multiple times a day, even earlier today. They are all listed again now. Yay!

The Disney site is so screwy. Glad what you wanted finally showed up.

Thank you! We are torn between trying to request a balcony or not... hubby wants a balcony room, I want one with a garden/patio We might leave it up to fate and just request to be in the first few closer to the lobby...

Another question for you - in the garden/patio room you had, could you shut the blinds in the loft area directly across from the bed? I am racing Dopey, so we normally are sleeping in until 10, 11, 12 every day!

Hopefully you can get it at a Bounceback rate!

We had one of those in October at AKL CL. We never could figure out how to work ours and my DH works in IT so he's pretty savvy. It looks super cute though.
