No other Club Levels?

[muppets3d]

I don't know how they would add club level to existing resorts given the rules of the condo associations, but I think it would be a nice value-add for some members. I love booking AKL Club level but it is a tough ticket to get since the studios in particular seem to be walked year-round nowadays and the leftovers never seem to pop up.

Well it actually does.

I picked up 12/31 at AKV CL studio today. Our plans for December are not 100% firm so might letting it go.

Yeah and I booked 3 or 4 nights a year ago as well, it does happen. Tough to plan ahead when getting a room is just random chance though.

Totally agree.
If I wanted a CL room I normally waitlist the day of opening and do that for the following days too if I needed more days.

For February 2026 I did it like that and managed to get 2 consecutive days.

I actually find value rooms harder to get than CL rooms.

Value 1 beds are usually pretty easy. Value studios are very tough because nobody lets them go - they're the cheapest rooms on property.

Doesn’t Boardwalk have more DVC than BWI? I see WL has 728 cash rooms. 181 rooms at BRV and 185 at CCV. Granted the DVC buildings do have 1,2 and 3 bedroom rooms.

Just FYI, WL has ~339 hotel side rooms (the smallest deluxe room count on property). The ~700 something number you see around the Internet is old info from pre-CCV or where blogs/WDW websites add WL+CCV+BRV together, so you see all sorts of numbers all over the Internet with varying degrees of accuracy.

Interesting. And now WL is the only resort that has a purchase add-on CL option for $150 a night when staying on cash side. And they still do not sell out of that availability constantly, which is crazy to me because WL CL is great (even just food quality/offerings alone).

How many people actually know about the offering?

As an example here is a cash side stay and they seemingly wanted it and couldn't even figure it out without coming to a very high quality Disney forum:

Thread 'Can you pay extra to access Club Level without staying Club Level?'

May 23, 2024

Hi everyone! Back in 2019, I knew it was possible to pay an extra $150 a night to access club-level, even if you aren't staying in a club-level room. As long as you stay in the resort non-DVC, you can pay the extra for access. Is this possible today? I can't find anything about it so it may have gone away with COVID.

Probably very very little. I think it a lot probably comes down to CM and user knowledge variability as well. We were reminded of this perk from a WL CL CM without asking on a recent stay. However, we checked into our stay after hours when CL was closed due to a late flight and the front desk CM seemed to not realize our room came with CL based on our reservation.
