Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

[lotsohugginbear]

You might get tired of the same food after a few days, especially since there is usually a three day food rotation. This June, I am doing a split stay: RPC (Royal Palm Club/GF) 4 night stay and Contemporary CL 4 night stay. It's fun to do a split stay, and then we can endlessly argue over which one was best.

Ah ok, so do they rotate the same food every 3 days for every resort or is it just some resorts? Split stay makes sense!

Ok, 2 best ones?

Yes, all club levels are on a three day food rotation, but all clubs don’t serve the same food. BC/YC are very similar, if not the same, with the offerings. Contemporary has some more unique offerings (sushi), and Coronado Tower, while not deluxe, has some more exotic items for club level standards. AKL does butter chicken and some other regional items. BWI is one of my favorites, mainly for the CMs, location, and ambiance. Poly has always been too crowded for my liking, but loads on the forum love it. I’d avoid GF while all the lobby construction is occurring, but the CL there is quite lovely. I generally pick a CL according to what our park days will be like and how much time we’ll be spending in the resort.

I gotta stay off this forum! We have a trip in two weeks and are staying at the Dolphin for the first four days with a fantastic rate, switching to Chronos Club for the last three days to chill. I keep telling myself I’m super-pleased with the low cost of lodging, but then I come here and immediately check to see CL rates at other resorts. I have enough Disney Reward dollars to cover the difference, but that would also buy a bunch of impulsively decided upon, unnecessary souvenir items…like the Dooney duffle bag that I thought was a great idea after completing a monorail crawl.

My favorite split stay is GF/BC. But a split between any MK area resort with an Epcot area resort is a great split. You would only have to take buses to AK and Disney Springs if you do that split.

I'm looking at doing a 7 night CL stay next year but I'm having a hard time deciding on the best one to book. Any advice please?

Do you have a favorite park? We have stayed Poly and Yacht Club club levels. Overall, I enjoy Poly as a resort more and their club lounge is great. We love watching the MK fireworks from the lounge with dessert. Dealing with crowds on Main Street to see fireworks is not my jam.

BUT…Epcot is my favorite park. I really enjoyed YC and the ability to just walk into Epcot and take the boat to HS. We could see Epcot fireworks from our balcony. Not a perfect view, but good enough.

I agree with this! GF for elegance, size of the lounge and rooms, etc, but Contemporary’ Tower Club is also fabulous. BC/YC are not my favorites (I’m doing Boardwalk for the first time in 3 weeks and have high hopes.

Again, this is for me, though, and it just depends what might be best given the makeup of their group.

Magic Kingdom is my favourite park, followed by Animal Kingdom. I like the idea of Poly CL as its very accessible, not sure about some of these lounges that are though the lobby and at the top of the building?

We find Yacht Club reasonably accessible. Easy to get to the elevators and then up to Club level.

Poly CL is in its own building, but at that resort the guest rooms are in several buildings. At most of the other resorts, everything, lobby, guest rooms, restaurants etc are all in 1building. In those resorts, the CL rooms & lounge are on a dedicated, restricted floor. So yes, you go thru the lobby to get to your room, whether it’s CL or not.

Then I would look into a split stay between Poly and AKL. AKL has never been on my radar as AK is our least favorite park. I also personally don’t want to rely solely on bus transportation if we’re paying deluxe prices. But I’ve heard the resort is beautiful! And if you’re AK fans you would be right there.
