What's so special about the club rooms at AK?

Free wine and beer!

Free?

Can't these club level rooms now also buy the extra 3 FPs per day for $50 each day, or is that limited to only cash guests?

That's $50 per person registered in the room with a minimum of three days purchase.

Yes, that's what I was referring to. Just wasn't specific enough in the given information. One fireworks viewing package per day included. Considering DVC is all prepaid that it is a pretty nice added club level perk.

I believe that AKV club villas, Poly bungalows, & CCR cabins all have access to the pay for FP program. I own at AKV and am considering trying to book a club villa for the first time the year Star Wars land opens just to get the 90 day FP+ headstart - if it still exists.

But if you have a full two bedroom concierge villa, that's $1200 minimum added on. Too rich for my blood. And three FPs fit us just fine.

Yeah I'm not up for it either, but would consider it to be a 'perk' of using the concierge rooms. Personally their beer selection doesn't interest me at all either.

We bought extra AK points on resale just so I could stay in the club once a year. Personally i love it for 3 or 4 days. We don’t do parks when we are there so we spend all day at resort. Enjoy breakfast, snacks and sodas during day,appetizers and wine before dinner and dessert and after dinner drinks after dinner. I enjoy getting the rooms cleNed every day and we have lucked out with a savannah view one bedroom every time. Being in jambo house makes it convenient to the pool and the buses for Disney Springs etc. I don’t regret the extra purchase at all.

I'm curios, so are you able to book CL every year with your AK points? From what I have read, it is strongly advised to not purchase points at the AKVs with intent to stay in a value or club level room as they are the hardest in the DVC inventory to come by. Or, are you by chance getting one-bedrooms which might be easier to get. I have read where a lot of people will walk reservations for the five studios that are allotted, but I am like, when are you able to actually "jump in" to do so? Because I very rarely see an opportunity to even start the walking process with these units.

Every room is booked by someone and everyone who walks a room starts at some point. I had a one week CL stay booked in a studio (ended up cancelling it). I got it on the 2nd day that I tried for it. The more flexible a person is the better their chances of getting one and time of year will also have an impact.

ETA that everyone warns against planning around those rooms because they are hard to get and especially if someone isn't flexible or not willing to play the 8AM @ 11 month game.

I suppose most of our AKV CL stays have been in April or May when we come for the Flower Show. They mostly have been studios for 2-4 nights, I have had a 1 bedroom once. I have never walked the reservation.

Interesting. If Club Level is all that at the AKVs I might just keep this in mind when I add on more resale points. Thanks.

See how you like CL first, then expect that sometimes you won't be able to book there when you want to.

These rooms can be very hard, if not impossible, to book at 7 mo. After 3 failed attempts, my DH purchased AKL points for me just so we could stay Club level. We have an upcoming stay in May that I brooked at exactly 11 months. I'm still waiting on a waitlist for 1 day to come thru.....

I went and checked the RAT and I couldn't find a studio (CL) available at all, even out in March. I did find value studios, and I really like the possibility of just staying at the AKL during December, so I will keep that in mind as well.
