Which club level /concierge is the best?

[acworthdisney]

Thank You for sharing any pros/cons about the club level at the Beach Club, Boardwalk, and Polynesian.

I predict you'll get approx 30% for each
There's not a best
There's which fits you and what you'll be doing best
Me? Having done all 3, book Boardwalk over all others because it's what suits us
Poly simply had to many kids. Nothing against them, got some in my house. I did find there were too many loud ones there. Understandable as it's Disney and they are excited. But we don't let ours be rambunctious in the resort. Others not so much
Fine, but we'll stay where that's not as much an issue
BC was ok but we like the rooms at BW a bit better. And we are odd birds that don't really like SAB so much

Agree with Angi. It is really such a personal preference. I have never stayed at Poly yet because it hasn’t appealed to me enough yet. I don’t think my DH would like many of the food offerings. I have read the reports of unsupervised kids putting their hands in the food & guests who grab excessive amounts leaving little or nothing for others. Not for me.

Many, many people rave about the CMs at BWI, but when we tried it, I wasn’t impressed. The CMs didn’t strike me as friendly & outgoing, but more as loud & disruptive. Plus, the pool is a basic rectangle with that scary clown slide.

YC is our favorite resort & we love the Y & B pool. The food offerings are usually things that appeal to us. The atmosphere is more relaxing. We stayed at BC CL once & it was fine. So of the 3 resorts you mentioned, we’d pick BC. But that doesn’t make it the best, or the right resort for you.

IMHO there is no "best" CL. Too many variables among the resorts and CL's themselves, not to mention personal travel tastes, party size, touring styles, etc.

Poly suits us the best, but we have some of the young kids @AngiTN mentions in her post (and since we overlapped there earlier this year I'm sitting here hoping mine weren't the cause of her "Others not so much" comment ). Prefer YC CL more than BC (YC CL is in our top 3 favorite) and we didn't enjoy BWI CL all that much from our one adults-only visit earlier this year (but it gets plenty of rave reviews around the DIS), just didn't speak to us and my feelings are more along the lines of @focusondisney's feedback above.

I could write a novel on pros/cons of each but I'd honestly need a bit more info on your party size, CL preferences, reasons for booking CL, etc. to make any feedback valid to your circumstances.

It is a bit like asking which theme park is 'best'......depends on your interests/preferences/etc., what someone else likes may not be your favorite things.

Lots of older threads on the topic of club level, whether its about the food/snacks/beverages, furniture or size of the room.

I agree. Everyone's taste, preference, etc is different as what one person loves about a particular CL, the next person will not. I just stayed Poly CL and BWI CL for the first time this past year and loved them both for different reasons. The Poly is my favorite resort overall, but both CLs blew me away and both are on my list for a return trip.

We tend to judge CL's not just on the CL itself, but on the entire resort experience. Personally, we LOVE the BC, but we could stay non-CL there and be just fine. So I think it's more the vacation we get from staying there that suits us. CL is just icing on the cake when we stay there.

Poly is probably our favorite overall CL experience. Walking into the lounge is quite the mood-setter because the Castle is in perfect view. It's just a great way to start and end each day! Also, the CL building is right in between and very near both the pools, so easy walk back and forth to get drinks/snacks. Also, none of the rooms are far from the lounge. All of those perks combined equal a nearly perfect CL to us.

We tried BWI CL as a family of 4 (2 kids) and we didn't feel the Disney vibe that we enjoy so much. Many families here on the DIS love it, so it's really just a matter of personal preferences in a CL/resort.

Lol no worries. They most certainly were not
