Just back from 7 nights in CR Tower Club

[chi-mom]

Just got back two days ago and am finally feeling a little organized. We stayed 7 nights in room 4829 in the tower with a MK view. We absolutely love this hotel and all the conveniences. The extra money was well worth it to us to have free brkfst. and afternoon snacks. It was such a timesaver and the kids really felt important being able to help themselves to the great selections. We did not buy the refillable mugs and really never wished we did.

It was great walking out of the room and hearing all the activity downstairs. And seeing the fireworks from the balcony is a thrill. The first night we left the blinds open and I watched the castle change colors all night.

Transportation was very simple. Many times we walked to the bus stop to find our bus waiting or just pulling in. Our longest wait was 15 min. The CR is first to be picked up and dropped off which is a real plus, but you need to allow extra time to get to your destination. Traveling to Epcot and Mk was such a breeze. You really can't beat the Monorail going through your hotel!!

I found the rooms to be huge and really loved the decor. We are a family of 5 and never really seemed to get in each other's way.

We visited the other monorail hotels and decided that when we go back again we will probably stay at CR.

Wow... I am so jealous...thanks for posting. There is nothing like a MK view room in the tower at the CR...I LOVE lying in bed looking at the castle. Glad to hear the Tower Club service worked out for you...it usually doesn't get good reviews. We have never stayed on that floor. We did 14th floor Concierge once and it was terrific and have stayed in regular tower rooms several times. What kind of brk and snacke were provided?? About how much more did you pay/night for the club level service (over a regular tower room)?

Breakfast was the usual: pastries, donuts, bagels, croissants, muffins, cereals, fruit, juices, milk, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. Snacks were different every day: cookies, rice crispie treats ,brownies, cupcakes, all different bars (lemon, spice, butterscotch, marble), and coffee, tea, hot choc. lemonade.

The cost was about 60.00 extra per night, but we were on FTP so only paid for 4 nights so about 240.00 for 7 nights.

Was your room on the 12th floor? That is where I thought the club level was and full concerige on the 14th?

Yes we were on the 12th floor, a little scary if you're afraid of heights (DH had to watch fireworks from inside), but well worth it for the spectacular view!
