Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

[Angehd2]

I’ve done 1 and 2 but the outer building. CR only Atrium and the Tower king oh and the hospitality suite.

I love the lounge at WL for the holidays and looking on to the lobby below with all the Christmas decor! Feels like you are part of a Hallmark Movie. I don’t mind the walk to the lounge.

The grand is always lovely over the holidays even without the Gb house there will be trees in the lounge areas and lobby.

The CR suite i would prefer if I was going to use a balcony. The room is just so bland. Spring and fall when temps are moderate I would enjoy that perk of a large balcony. Cr has the least holiday decor but usually suites get a Christmas tree in the rooms. That would make it special.

Food wise CR, GF and WL would be my ranking.

Cms CR, WL then GF.

Pools GF, WL then CR. I love the CR pools I just don’t like how far away they feel from 12/14 floor lol. Makes it feel to separate or some thing.

Transportation cr/gf ties for me with mono and walk. Gf can boat to MK or Poly whereas CR can boat to WL after 3p.

I think for holiday I’d lean to GF and do CR for spring break!

Thanks- what did you think of the hospitality suite at CR? Did you feel like you didn’t use the lounge as much since it’s a hike?

OT: I'm sure I'm the only one not aware but I'll post it just in case lol. I got my renewal for tsa precheck (going to do global entry) and I randomly checked my credit cards. Apparently 2 of my cards will reimburse you with a credit when you get it. I don't have any fancy travel cards so I was pleasantly surprised. Just giving a heads up to check your cards for travel benefits! The airports also have appointments now for global entry too which is awesome since we are flying in October and can do our interview while we're there.

Not trying to sway you on Contemporary 14th floor or anything.

Well I love my steps. However dh and ds were lazy. However I just said I’m in the hospitality suite and they let me bag up what I wanted and gave me a bottle of wine.

The space was amazing ! 2 full and 1 1/2 bath and a kitchen area with bar seating was fun.

Oh and 3 and I say 3 entrances to the suite was fancy!

A whole bottle of wine! That's my kind of Club lounge!

It’s so peaceful on the 14th floor. I know you can run into a big group, but sometimes it’s like having a club level to yourself. I can’t go back to Atrium. Too chaotic. I also liked that you can hear HEA clearly from the balcony.

I asked if it was ok to walk with a wine glass on the elevator?

However at cr I have been given one more than once if a real need was given. Dh flight canceled and sent back with ds 16? They spent hours at the airport. They arranged to add them to room and get magical express back. Them walked me to my room with a bottle,

She was lovely! She always took care of her people.

Yes, and they are very spacious. They take up the space of (4) regular rooms, and as @trishadono said have (3) separate entrances from the hallway.

My youngest got lost in one of the Garden Wing Hospitality suites when she was about 4. It did cause a small panic among the travel group for a few minutes.

They don't have great views but they sleep up to 7. There are (6) in the Garden Wing just inside the first segment of the Wing, (1) that has a King bed that overlooks the resort.

Has anyone here had a stay at CL when Disney closed for a hurricane?

 

[Angehd2]

Ok I guess my options have changed now!

1) WL deluxe CL
2) CR hospitality suite (less than $100 more than 1))
3) one bedroom TPV at CR 14th floor Tower CL ($400 more than 1, $300 more than 2)

I should mention we are staying at a MK resort for the Christmas party so maybe the convenience of CR is better from that aspect

 

[Dave006]

With all the discussion above I would still pick the WL Deluxe CL as a compromise on price, distance to lounge, and great Christmas theming at the WL.

My second choice would be to jump to the 1 BR TPV Tower CL due to it's location just a few doors from the Tower Club lounge. There are (3) of these suits. The sparse resort Christmas decorations have already been discussed but depending on the timing of your visit you may get a Christmas tree in your suite.

You can't beat the location of the CR after a MVMCP event.

ETA: still learning to spell & type
