Resort Thread Disney's Club Level (CL) Thread

[Ricguz]

Hello!!
My husband and I will be travelling to Disney in April partly for race week (my husband has a challenge medal in his list ) and also for the usual Disney fun!! I am booking, and looking at Poly Club. Any fairly current reviews and a little understanding of the club lounge and rooms locations would be appreciated.
We have been staying at GF Club for our last several stays, but it’s not available. We used to be die hard Yacht and Beach club level, but feel like the club level in both are lacking and way way over monitored, kinda like being babysat and food offerings being quite small and stingy. Needless to say, YAY or NAY for Poly club. Thanks in advance friends!
Ugh I know, it’s a bit last minute for booking

It just my opinion but I am a big fan of the YC CL. Cast members have been extremely outgoing to me, the club has been redone and updated. Yes it’s not the biggest nor the food offerings may not be like GF, but I think they have up its game over the last year. Breakfast has been pretty decent , there are more offerings at midday such as wraps etc… and light dinner has been decent. Deserts are good and I have never been denied wine or beer anytime I have asked during the day. And I have consistently been able to bring anything back to my room if I wanted. You can’t be the location for other restaurants and access to HS and Epcot. Again it’s my opinion. Veterans on this board have noted to me about the difficulty going from the Poly to Epcot especially around busy times on the monorail so I weighed what was important to me. Plus SAB is the best pool on property and has been renovated.
Hope you have a great trip

I have trouble answering this on CL alone. I think if y'all like Poly as a resort, then it's worth giving it a shot. I adore Poly as a resort and 'tolerate' the CL there - well at least that's my latest take, subject to change on any given trip. It was the perfect CL when my kids were young, but now with teens or if it's just an adult trip, I seem to like Poly CL less. Just a little noisy/hectic. Poly CL has the highest room count to lounge ratio and there are times where it shows (but to be fair there are times where it's blissfully quiet too).

It is not as nice or as good a CL/lounge experience as GF, if that's a standard for you.

Can't beat the Hawaii building location though, and I really like the current rooms.

Like all of them, so many pros/cons.

No one tends to babysit at Poly... beer and wine all self serve, evening apps are small plates but no one is monitoring you.
