I would love your thoughts on YC CL! It's been a few years since we stayed there.

I would love your thoughts on YC CL! It's been a few years since we stayed there.

I was just there for two nights and have mixed feelings. Previous experiences there have been 100% positive, but this time was different. We had lots of difficulty finding seats in the lounge - especially around dinner time and during breakfast. Guests were parking themselves at a table for hours, drinking wine & socializing, treating it like their own personal bar. The bartender cart was parked right in front of two longer tables & was really awkwardly placed. Guests & bartender were starring at each other - it was weird.
Yes, I know it was a RunDisney weekend, but shouldn’t they plan for that so all guests can enjoy the CL perks ( which we ALL paid for)? We ended up getting trays & eating in our room - again, awkward.

Employees were great, mostly. Housekeeping was awesome. And you can’t beat the YC location, despite all,the scaffolding right now.

IMHO, they need to enlarge the lounge and maybe add a separate bar for CL. YVMV, of course.

Easy to get beverages .

With outdoor construction the windows all covered with that “frost” stuff. Felt too enclosed and balcony not available .

Food to me was meh. Gf and Cr have more for breakfast and evening .

However I really liked the desserts. A nice assortment .

I think somebody here said it before but to pay all that $ for a corn dog? There was only one hot appetizer and I guess Mac n cheese works for all .

We went out to dinner because there was not enough to call a meal. What they had was good at least.

CMs were all friendly .

Thanks for the review. Shame about the windows and the balcony—I always enjoy sitting out there, especially at breakfast.

@trishadono are you still at YC/BC? Any signs of the Easter display in the lobby?

 

[lotsohugginbear]

Thanks for the review! I love the Yacht Club, but agree that the CL lounge needs to be bigger for
the amount of people it serves. For about the same amount of money, I would always pick the Innkeeper's Club over
YC CL.

Delayed post - I did a quick 2 nights in a king room at CR Tower Club a little over a week ago - wonderful room and balcony, wonderful CMs, great food. A few things had ben tweaked since I was last there, and there was a super-yummy new dessert (hazelnut crunch cake get in my belly!), but I didn't take pictures because it wasn't notably different, and I'm booked to be at CR Atrium in mid-April for more nights. Great stay!

I'm still stalking to get GF in April, but we're headed to Asia tomorrow for 2 1/2 weeks, so I'll be powerless if something pops up then anyways. I got suckered into going with DSis for a few days in August (there will be no sharing of the room this time, no no no), however, and there's a GF RPC bounceback available, so I'm planning to grab that today.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Thanks for the review. Glad you had a nice stay. Any other menu tweaks you remember at breakfast or apps? Enjoy your next trip.

Glad that you did indeed get the Tower room, and Good luck on your GF BB try.

I wish someone would make a "***********"-like resort room searching tool. This girl would pay good money for that service!

One major reason CL is such a ridiculous expenditure for me is that I don't do breakfast - but it looked the same when I rolled through to get morning coffee and/or mimosa-hold-the-juice. Breakfast there has been solidly good ever since they ditched those coddled eggs, but it's not as swanky as GF. Apps - memorable stuff was the steak with chimichurri mushrooms (not new) and there was a yummy hot honey chicken, I think it had rice - tweaked, but not new, I believe. I think the charcuterie at CR and GF are the best of the bunch. Sushi, of course, but nothing new - veg roll every night and then alternating tuna and shrimp roll. Unless I can get GF for April, or maybe BWI, I'll be back and will be better about pics. CR really does have a nice spread.

You mean finding a specific type of room availability search tool?
