No the WL is the only resort with this CL add-on feature. It came about when about half of the 7th floor moved to the CCV DVC. This has left the Old Faithful Club with extra capacity which allowed a creative team to come up with this unique offering.
Thanks for the info.
What a great idea. I did not even think of that. We will do that! Please continue with any and all suggestions to make this an amazing trip! Thanks!
That's what we did as well; going all the way to Disney Springs and back is quite painful. Keep in mind that Minnie Vans are more expensive, but they all have available car seats (and of course 23% more magic).
No kids, lol. But i am in for the 23% more magic!!
Not currently but maybe after the new 2 story lounge is done in 2026 it will be available.
Agreed! We have an upcoming trip in May, and I regularly check as if miraculously the CL rooms will get a higher discount. We’re doing MYOCL at the Dolphin instead for about $2800 less than any of the Crescent Lake CL, then we have two nights at a really good rate at CSR CL where I was able to snag a regular room. I’ve only ever been able to snag the 1-bed cl there.I'm normally not one to spend energy griping about discounts or get hung up on CL vs non-CL room pricing, but the occasional wide disconnect on CL discounts vs other discounts these days sure does make giving Disney more of my money hard.
Eg, YC in July:
Resort View CL $898 rack rate / $717 AP discount (20%)
Resort View - $660 rack rate / $394 AP discount (40%)
If I could get the same 40% AP discount on the CL room I'd book it without hesitation or second thought. But as-is that's just such a large gap I have almost no choice but to go non-CL. Plus YC at a sub $400 rate almost feels too good to pass up.
Can eat at Cake Bake every day and still come out ahead.
Agree. That’s just too big a disparity. It’s a really great rate on the regular room though.I'm normally not one to spend energy griping about discounts or get hung up on CL vs non-CL room pricing, but the occasional wide disconnect on CL discounts vs other discounts these days sure does make giving Disney more of my money hard.

It’s ridiculous. And it seems nearly impossible to get bb pricing on CL now, too. I’d like a just-in-case room in August, but may be a MYOCL room! I started watching DGCs closely for additional savings b/c I have been really trying to boost my emergency account recently, and I need to replace my roof next year. They are a PITA, and I am not a huge fan of stacking them and keeping track of multiples, but every so often, a 10% off deal comes along. Those are just too good to pass up. I paid for most of my upcoming trip including a suite at GF with an additional discount this way. Gone are the days when I used them for wristbands at festivals only…I'm normally not one to spend energy griping about discounts or get hung up on CL vs non-CL room pricing, but the occasional wide disconnect on CL discounts vs other discounts these days sure does make giving Disney more of my money hard.

MYOC…. I pay attention to my resort. If no real glass in the room I bring oneStep aside, that's my job
I really like the CL perks but not at the currently priced offerings. It's so much nicer to get a deluxe room for $400, $500, even $600 per night and be able to eat and drink where ever you want and still come out ahead. Thanks again to @trishadono for normalizing MYOCL: It's great! It's not about what you are spending but what you are getting for your spend.
I have a BB CS CL booked for October and then a BB POP reservation booked for Dec. Honestly, I think I'll probably enjoy POP more with the skyliner and built-in 'free' deluxe dining plan.
for my room , snacks as needed” 
Does anyone have experience adding individuals to a resort reservation closer to the trip? We booked a 2BR CR tower club suite with a BB discount in August. We are taking my 85 year old mom and Aunt and fitting in a trip before my son starts his sophomore year at Penn State. I’ve extended the invitation to my brother and his family but he is just coming off a cruise and not ready to commit just yet. I know the room accommodates 10 and with his family, we would have 8. I also realize we would all have to have the same number and level of tickets in the room. Part of me thinks to just reserve it as room only and add the tickets to MDE separately but the planner in me twitches about adding them correctly in time to plan some multipass experiences. Sorry for letting you inside my overthinking mind.

8% back is pretty good! If I weren’t still dithering about visiting in August, I might jump on that.
You're correct that a package can't become "room only," but you can always strip it of add-ons (tickets, dining plan, memory maker etc) and create a package that is only a room known as a "basic package."
Today is day 7. If I leave it as a package, it looks like I can add guests later within room capacity and would have to add them with the same tickets.
