What's Your Favourite Resort to Stay at CL

[Babyboo]

DH and I are starting to plan a trip for May 08 with DD5 and we know we want to stay CL.

I'd like to hear about everybody experiences and opinions.

We have previously stayed at GF and AKL CL and will be staying at the Atrium Club CR over Christmas.

With so much choice I don't know where to start so need some help with my decision.

The only Club Level my family and I have ever stayed at in WDW is the Atrium Club at the Contemporary and we have enjoyed every stay we had there.

This December we are staying Club Level at the Polynesian in the King Kamehameha Club, which would be the Hawaii Longhouse. So we are looking forward to staying there, because now we have something that we can compare the Atrium Club to.

We absolutely LOVE the Old Faithful Club at the Wilderness Lodge!! This December will be our 4th stay on the club level since May 2004 and we can't wait to get back!! The cast members are so friendly and helpful. The food offerings were very yummy (especially the cappacino machine!) and there is nothing better than sitting on one of the comfy couches listening to the wonderful lobby music!!

We have stayed CL at the Beach Club and the Boardwalk Inn. My vote would be for the Boardwalk. The staff in CL is awesome, friendly, outgoing and just fun to hang out with. The offerings in the lounge were pretty awesome too. The lounge is open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. The lounge is also a great place to view Illiminations. You can stand out on the balcony with a glass of wine and take in the sights. The when it is over, come back inside and enjoy dessert. The chocolate covered strawberries are yummy

I stayed CL at Poly last October and had a great experience. The staff was very nice. Food was great. Looking forward to my WL CL stay in November.

This is a hard one to answer as my DH, DD, and I all have different favorites...

DD (5) says there is no equal to the Poly and the Hawaii Longhouse. We went there the Christmas of 2005 when she was 3, and she still longs to go back. Our IP for this trip did an amazing job!

My DH truly enjoys the BWI CL the best. He says that the CM's there treated him better than his own family, and he says you can't beat the location! But he puts in a strong second for both the YC and BC CL's! As far as we are both concerned, their IPO is the BOMB!

I really do love them all...for various reasons. They all have sentimental memories and wonderful CM's. I love the Poly, BWI, YC, and BC CL's, but I'm going to have to put in a plug for the WL too. It was a wonderful vacation and we had a great stay there as well!

We are going to stay at the AKL in October, so I have no knowledge of their CL as of yet. Their IPO seems to be really great though! I don't know anything about the GF either, because every time we try to stay RPC...it is already booked!

Good luck with your choice!

We've enjoyed the YC Concierge numerous times. The only drawback is that there is a period of time when it is closed. The BC concierge is very similar to that of the YC.

The AKL concierge was also excellent and the food offerings different but right in line with the theme. The lounge there doesn't close and that is a plus for many.

Wow - Chocolate Covered Strarwberrys. That's a good enough reason to go on it's own

Our DD4 loves AKL CL - We have had to book this for a few nights on our Xmas trip just to keep her happy! I would stay there every trip but DH & DS loved the convienience of the monorail. They were able to sneak off to MK either first thing or last thing while DD was sleeping.

We are thinking about the Epcot area resorts as we haven't tried them yet - but which one to choose They all sound great. Maybe the YC or BC for SB. But I would love to stay in a Garden room at the BWI.

Ahhhhhhhh to many choices

We have stayed CL at the BWI and the GF. I love the Royal Palm Club at the GF. At the GF, there are 2 levels of CL. The Sugar Loaf, which is an external building. The service and offerings are supposed to be the same, but I feel that the Dugar Loaf is lacking....something.

The Royal Palm Club (or RPC) is amazing. It is in the main building and overlooks the lobby. During the holidays, you can listen to the caroling, the band, and the Christmas music. Just wonderful. You can also see Wishes from the lounge. The evenings there are just magical.

Hope this helps.

BTW - the CL at the BWI is also very nice. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And, as a PP said, the chocolate covered strawberries are really good!!

Here's the four we have stayed at in order of preference:

AKL - The Best!
BW - Almost the Best!
BC - Not so good
Poly - Tied with BC for Not so Good

We have stayed at CR, 14th floor, AKL, and Royal Pacific (Universal). They were all excellent. Each with their own pro's and con's.
