Great!I added it to the AKL section. Maybe we can start collecting these for each resort.

If it was me, I would probably give it to them to try and get but would be trying on my own as well.

I agree with this. You can try along with IPO looking as you can always cancel one should you end up with 2 for the same place. It never hurts, IMO, to have another person looking, especially for those hard to get ADRs
The Hawaii building is a rectangle and the lounge is on the end. So rooms gradually get further and further away from the lounge as you walk down the hall. But even if you're down at the other end of the building its not a long walk at all. A minute maybe??? ... It's a very short walk. The food is on the 2nd floor, the 3rd floor offers additional seating, the 1st floor is where the CM's sit. I would focus more on which floor you want. We always request the 3rd floor because those rooms have balconies. The 2nd floor rooms do not. The 1st floor rooms have patios.
YC CL is great too, if you liked BC CL its almost exactly the same. They do have a larger lounge that has a better flow though, which is nice.
Hey Erika
We have a 1-BR booked at AKL-CL for the last week in July. Our second CL trip to AKL and first DVC stay here.
Really looking forward to hearing about your trip as usual.
And great job with the thread. Teena and Dee would be proud!
You get the best of both worlds! All the club level benefits mixed with the huge size of the villa. We were upgraded to one on our 10th anniversary and it was perfect! Of course the Kidani ones are great too, and have the 2nd bathroom, but for me nothing beats CL and DVC together... I wish more of them would offer that!
But I totally agree about looking for yourself as well. It doesn't hurt to have 2 people searching, and you can always cancel any duplicates.
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere, but we're just back from a CR and Poly CL split stay. This was our fourth time staying club level, and as dumb as it sounds, I think the amenity I look forward to the most (besides immediate coffee a few minutes after I open my eyes) is the bigger bottles of the H2O Spa products in Sea Salt/Marine, which I love using and then taking home with me since the big bottles that you can purchase in the stores can't go home with us in our carry-on luggage. I think they've discontinued that practice as all we received were the small bottles of the grapefruit bergamot that they give at all of the deluxe resorts. Small gripe--not really a big deal--but just sad that they've scaled back on the products.
If you have any questions about either lounge, let me know.
Did the Poly CL use to have the H2O spa products? I only remember ever having them at the GF. We definitely didn't have them at the Poly last year, here is a pic I took in August 2013:
I totally agree that the Spa products are AWESOME!! I remember asking the mousekeeper at the GF for more body butter and she brought me like 10 of them to take home!
