We will be traveling the first week of December for all the holiday festivities and plan on staying at the WL CL. Last year we stayed at the Poly CL and loved it. The lounge was very relaxing, always open, and had great offerings. We chose the WL as we heard it was a great choice in December....and something different. I know the WL Club doesn't stay open like the Poly, but how does it stack up? Can we get coffee all day like at the Poly, drinks? Other options are the GF (staying CL in July as is), Poly again, or Yacht Club. Thanks to your input guys!
I have never stayed at Poly CL. My family is currently 10 days into our 11 day stay at YC CL and we did 11 days at WL CL back in July....
We have enjoyed YC CL, but there is just something about WL CL that we liked better.
WL CL CM's were soooooooo friendly and accommodating. The food selections were
much better at WL CL than YC CL.
At YC CL, every night you get something fried....emphasis on something, lol...good thing they have signs to help you out in knowing what it was....
At WL CL, we got chili, meatballs, BBQ chicken on a stick, chicken wings, etc.....just a lot more REAL food besides fried puff pastries.
We liked the setup of the WL CL lounge better too. We liked overlooking the lobby and there were more seats. The YC CL lounge is pretty small and we found it to be very busy with no seats on several occasions. We ate alot in our room. That never happened at WL.
We did like that YC CL offered water bottles to take with you to the pool or parks. Nice 20 oz bottles of Dasani. WL did not do that.
We found that YC CL mouse keepers did turndown really early, like 3:30 or 4:00...so we'd often miss it because we were in the room for a break, though they would offer to give us towels or chocolates...
The lounge at YC is open 24 hours and after 10 pm they do have sodas in the fridge until they are gone. They also leave some water out (but no ice) and that is there until its gone....
Overall, I think we do really like YC and would stay here again, but not CL. We LOVE WL and would do CL again...it was that good.
