Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

jods · Sunday at 9:27 PM

I liked BWI CL much better. We didn't enjoy BC that much. It's always crowded and I really like the CMs at BWI. I find the BC to be much louder overall and felt BWI had a more relaxing vibe.

We booked a stay at the Boardwalk CL for 7/30~8/31 garden room.Let me know about the club level.

We preferred BWI CL to BC CL. Maybe we got lucky at BWI, but we were always able to get a table when we went. The lounge at the BC felt more crowded and chaotic than BWI to us. Both were great though, we just prefer the vibes at BWI.

My experience 100%. We’ve stayed BC club level several times, mainly for the pool and the best discounted rate of the CLs. On more than one occasion we had issues with seating. I know parents would like some relaxing time away from their kids, but I lost count how many times we’d go in the lounge and one or two kids would be sitting at a 4 top while their parents sat at another 4-top while not waiting for others to join their party. There were tweens who were sitting independently at three different tables with their chairs turned around, speaking to each other. When I asked if they were saving the tables, they said no and stared at me standing there with my plate of food. I suggested they might consolidate so two groups might have a place to sit. This was not a one-off situation. We never had that issue at BWI even though it seems to be a smaller footprint.

How frustrating. Inconsiderate people like that really make me

. Did they at least move when you asked?

I’m watching the replies as we have been BWI CL for a very long time, anlways enjoyed, no complaints. We are looking to try another CL for a Fall trip, either on Monorail Loop or EPCOT Resorts. I’m paying close attention to CL crowds and food offerings.

Yes! The kids did move without issue but only after I pointed out that they were taking up three tables.

BWI has always been a more chill environment to us too - we’ve stayed at all three CL Epcot resorts and have found YC and BC to be a more rowdy experience that we’d likely not book again. Whenever we have wanted to stay CL around Epcot we’ve stuck to BWI recently. And the cast members at BWI are phenomenal.

I think folks find what works great for their vacation. We love YC CL because of the relaxing environment and helpful CM's. It also is a plus to us that the elevators and CL are an easy access. A short walk across the lobby, up the elevators and you are there.

Has anyone stayed at one of the 2Q deluxe CL rooms at Grand Floridian? It seems that most (4/6) of the rooms are accessible rooms. We do not need an accessible room and I prefer a room without a shower curtain, which I believe the accessible rooms have. Can anyone confirm? I realize I can put in a request but it seems the odds may be stacked against me if availability is low. Thanks.

lotsohugginbear · 2025-05-27T18:53:45-0400

I think YC/BC club levels have more children in them because Stormalong Bay is a draw.
I agree that BWI CL seems to be the quieter of the three.

I believe 43/4419 are HA of the 2Q deluxe rooms..and 43/4420 and 43/4422 are not...have been in 43/4420 a few times and 22 also..19 just once and it had a roll in shower...I'd suggest requesting those four particular rooms that are not HA...and hopefully they'll assign you one of your requests

Getting ready for this Friday morning to make my dinner reservations!! Anyone ever eat at The Plaza at WDW? We were thinking about this one. Also, at Epcot, La Hacienda?

jennab · 2025-05-28T14:09:38-0400

Thanks for all who answered my question about BC or BWI CL. Ended up booking BWI as that was the one available when I moved my bounce back to 2026! Guess the decision was made for me

. However, it sounds like many prefer BWI anyway.

We’ve stayed at BWV before, but never the inn side. How is the BWI quiet pool?

It is a fine pool with no frills, and often you may be the only party there most times of the day. However we have see guests swimming laps in the morning.

We are likely do an adults only trip this time, so thinking we might just hang at the quiet pool as we won’t care about the slide. The main pool looks to be a bit of a walk from the BWI side. Is it? I know you can cut under by the arcade and gym.

Well it is not right out the door but Luna Park pool is well worth a visit. Adults enjoy the Slide as much as the young crowd. It is about a 7 minute walk from the BWI Inn Keeper's Club.

We always just take the elevator from the 4th floor down to the lobby on the 2nd floor, walk across to the BWV Elevators, and go down to the boardwalk level, and you exit right across from the Gym. Alternately if you want to walk (with no more elevators) from the 2nd floor lobby, take the outside staircase down to the boardwalk level, cross over to the the BWV side on the Village Green, and under the archway by the gym.

Please swing by the BoardWalk Resort thread for your non-CL questions, and great answers.

Hello...has anyone seen a sample menu for Regatta Club at Yacht Club recently? Most interested in breakfast.

Thanks!

Do any of the BWI CL rooms have a step-in shower rather than the tub/shower combo? My old knees don't like the step over but I don't need an accessible room. Thanks!

The Garden Club Level rooms have step in showers but those units are two levels (living room on first level and bedroom on second level) and the shower is on the second level.
