Those giant man cans of Sweetwater 420 always strike me as such an odd choice for club level.

I miss the days where WDW had a more interesting/diverse beer selection across property.

Such as Coor’s Light and O’Douls?!

Yay, ya’ll! I’m at BWI CL, at last! I would take pics, but it’s been posted within the last week or so. Ratatouille with polenta, bao buns with chicken/slaw, beefy mac, quinoa and waldorf salads, and pork belly with saffron rice, plus crudites and dips, charcuterie, cheeses, thin sliced bread. The woman who welcomed me into the Innkeeper area recognized me…b/c she was the one who moved me after the YC “hair incident”. That was not awesome, it is one of two times I have requested a move (obvs justified, but still, as a people-pleaser… ick). At any rate, all have been lovely, my room is quiet and fabulous, and the food is pretty darn good. Aaaaah, no work for a few days…..

Looking forward to next month when I could sit back with a glass of Reisling and those Bao buns. I have a boatload of fishing stories I need to tell Lorenzo.

I need to look closely at name tags, but do not think I have seen him or Lene yet. They are famous!! Everyone in the lounge has been very young.

I met @CogsworthTN this morning, what a sweetheart and in an adorable outfit. I was still half asleep (stupid time difference) but just love meeting other Dis-ers!

Lorenzo is there M-F breakfast to mid afternoon.

Leaving WL today. Thank you everyone for all the tips/advice. We loved CL and we are planning our next trip already. We had an amazing room and watched the fireworks almost every night. The pool was so lovely!

I might catch him tomorrow before I head to GF to meet Mom. Supposedly Lene is here, but I haven’t seen her yet. In room recharging right now, it is super hot!

I’m so glad you had a wonderful time. Sounds like you might have had our castle view/fireworks view room. We loved our club level stay there too. The lounge area was so relaxing and the food was delicious. All of the CM’s and the Club level managers were so nice. They interacted with everyone making everyone feel special. We will definitely go back to the Wilderness Lodge Club level again.

Well, Mom is on her way down to Orlando, and I’m getting ready to head out of BWI and over to GF. It’s been too hot to eat much, so I have spent a fraction of what I budgeted - and I was able to get the bounceback rate applied to my last night at GF, so I went ahead and splurged to stay in our suite my last night (I was originally planning to move to an outer building since it’s just me). Very relieved not to pack again until I go home .

BWI - the hype is 10000% appropriate! The food hasn’t been up my alley as much as some other CLs (personal preference thing), but the CMs here are truly special. Stand by for some app pics…

Eta: never did meet Lene, though I think I spotted her yesterday. Did meet Lorenzo this morning and told him he was famous .

Saturday night:

Sunday night. Definitely will not be my last visit! Crudites and bread slices/butter not pictured, but the same every night.

Arrived at GF, and guess what? CL has been closed for 2 weeks while they ripped out what was left of the birdcage. I knew nothing about that, but honestly, good decision. The lounge doesn’t open until 11 am today. I don’t do breakfast, so that’s fine by me. One of the CMs told me they had a few convention attendees with guaranteed CL rooms, and they had to modify service to resemble a room service situation. I’m sitting on the third floor right now, the lobby is pretty empty, and I’m the only non-CM in the club area.

@2vets loving your reviews. I’m doing this exact split stay in August (deluxe CL room at BW and Victorian suite at GF). First time at both resorts! I hope you enjoy GF. I’d love to hear if you have any noise issues there with the lobby construction.

Thanks so much for the heads up @Dave006! How far in advance do you recommend I call? A week?

I would call now, rooms are assigned 5-7 days before your arrival date, I would not leave it to a chance that you might forget if you wait until just before your arrival.
