I totally agree with mousemommy1 when they posted "You will NEVER be able to see a dollar for dollar "value" for what you pay to stay CL" and I agree with "that you are also paying for the experience" which is very nice.
We were lucky to be upgraded to CL years ago and got to try it. We liked it a lot but did not really find it would be worth it to us to pay the $$$ for it. After just a couple of days, our family did not want another continental breakfast and wanted eggs, bacon and mickey waffles

We seemed never to get back in time for the evening appetizers (5pm-7pm), we do not drink much and there is just so much desert you can eat. As for the other stuff like making reservations etc., it is nothing I cannot do myself, plus; my understanding is that if a restaurant is fully booked its not like the CL CM can get you a reservation. The couple of days that we did not do parks and we were there for appetizers, they were really good and we did enjoy it. It does make you feel a bit special having access to a private area and your own dedicated CM's
