Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

[VAtink]

This June? That’s too bad! I’ve seen posts on fb from the last few weeks that seem like they’re still offering these same items, but I guess there is always variability and reasons they may switch things up or be unable to provide certain items.
Glad you got the chips though, yummmm!

Yup, this June. They also had very limited offerings for the hors d'oeuvres service compared to other club levels while I was there, so maybe it was just an off week.

This is definitely more my speed!! (Minus the peppers!) Looking forward to it!

Unfortunately, no change in AKL evening, dessert or breakfast offerings.

On another note, my DS got very sick yesterday, not food poisoning just a tummy bug it seems. The AKL CL staff have been AMAZING. Shout out to Myles!!! I was almost in tears how much they have genuinely cared about him and have done everything in their power to help him. When we get asked on this thread, is CL worth it? These are the moments that it will always be worth it.

I’m not sure what the difference is between the AK ones & the homemade ones we’ve had at YC, CR & GF? They’re pretty much kettle chips to me.

I think they're the same ones. These were prevalent in most CLs pre-covid and we always loved them. However, we haven't seen them since the reopen. We seem to never stay at YC so I wasn't aware of their offerings. I was at AKL in July and BWI in Aug and they still had the prepackaged stuff. So the change was a pleasant surprise.

Feel better soon. Glad the staff is being so helpful.

We’ve had them at YC, CR & GF over several trips the last 2 years. They all had the prepackaged ones too, but definitely had the homemade ones. Hopefully all the CLs have them now.

Myles is great!! The staff, especially the crew that has been there for years, are amazing. So happy they were so good with your son! Hope he’s feeling better!

That’s disappointing there no other changes, but I do love the addition of the homemade chips, though! They were my go-to snack, along with carrots & ranch, back when we only stayed at WL CL years ago. Something to look forward to!

Gah, missing you again. Nov 12-14 (in town from 11/9, but have non-WDW stuff for the first few days).

Rats!

Not really ridiculous since CCV is a separate business entity, and well BRV is another DVC why on earth would BRV guests qualify?

You might argue that Cash guests at CCV might have the option for a CL add-on but no it was asked about when the CL add-on was first offered years ago.

For years BRV was called The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge...

CCV rooms are literally in the same building and are sold as the CCV at Disney's Wilderness Lodge...

My view is maybe different, but for those guests who have already dropped five figures (or more) on a product with Disney, why exclude them from an offering they may wish to partake. Especially if that same offering is available as an add on to customers who are spending/have spent considerably less with the company.

I understand there are separate business units, each with their own obligations, but I would find a way to work it out...

Notice I am not saying create a CL product for DVC members... Just let them purchase the same add on that all the other WL guests can have.

Just to put this unique offering in prospective. The WL CL add-on is a very limited offering. It is only available at the WL and it is the result of the capacity that was freed up by the CL rooms that were removed from the CL inventory with the creation of the CCV DVC.

While no specific number of rooms have every been identified for this add-on offering, about 36 rooms were remove from the CL total number of rooms.

They actually did create a CL for CCV/BRV/DVC guests when CCV first opened for an additional cash fee! The lounge was at Reunion Station. It didn’t last long.

Reunion Station was a purpose built space. It opened in April 2018 with lots and lots of promises but never found any solid traffic from DVC guests willing to pay extra for food.

Due to its location, an outside trip was required for CCV, and BRV( formally VWL for @Cfabar1 ) owners / guests. The originally intent was great for a DVC Community Center but they went too far by trying to offer food for a fee. A continental breakfast in the morning, snacks, and drinks in the evening. It finally closed for good in September 2020 in the COVID era.

CR has usually had the 'housemade chips' during afternoon snacks out for a bit now, usually regular and a bbq or truffle flavor.

I've always assumed 'housemade' meant made in some central kitchen somewhere on property.
