WL concierge

[mom22boys]

My search function is not working so I will just start a new post. Sorry, I am sure the topic has been covered before!

Have you enjoyed your WL concierge stay? Do you happen to have any pictures of the lounge? How has it compared to concierge at other resorts? Did you enjoy the food offerings in the lounge?

Much thanks!

Well it's by chance that I can tell you about WL concierge!!We got a free upgrade on 26-28th Aug., They did not have any queen rooms available and that's what we needed. It was my mom, ds5, dd2 and me. They had queen with bunk and king. They upgraded us to 7th floor concierge. We actually booked woodsview.
We arrived Sunday evening, when we got in they had wine and cheese and fruit. At 5pm they had pork slices and the best clam chowder ever and salads. Dessert was a cobbler that was out of this world, so delicious!! Cookies were also available. Breakfast was continental, bagels, croissants,cold cereal, fruit etc.
During the day they had goldfish, cookies, pretzels, fruit sodas and juices.
Next day was chicken and mashed potatoes, very good!!
hope this helps

Here's a copy of my post from earlier this month to Cinderella Fan that has some pictures :

Here's part of my review of the WL Old Faithful Club from our stay last Xmas that might help you : We had stayed previously at AKL, Poly and GF concierge rooms but never at the WL or BWI - so we split this stay and were at WL and then moved over to BWI Innkeepers Club. Here's just my opinion from last December, copied from my 3 part review comparing both(!) Hope it helps you!:

I don't know why I was scared of the WL concierge (or remember what I read that was negative), but I LOVED the WL Old Faithful Club, and it is now my favorite. I loved the BWI Boardwalk view room, but thought the BWI concierge lounge and offerings were not as nice as the WL. All the CMs were very pleasant in both, and the lounges were really pretty.

WL Old Faithful Club Hours:
Club Desk 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Coffee 6:30 AM - 7:00 AM
Continental Breakfast 7:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Refreshments 11:30 AM - 4:00 PM
Wine and Cheese Selections 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Cordials and Desserts 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM

What was offered when we were there (I'm sure I've forgotten some items, but it will give you an idea):

*Breakfasts offered different cereals, sliced fruits, danish, 2 kinds of muffins, croissants, bagels, etc. (toaster was there for toasting) whole fruit, yogurt, OJ/cranberry/apple juice, teas, milk, chocolate milk, coffee machines for cappucinos, lattes, mocha, etc. always available when lounge was open- Fruit was always out (bananas, apples, oranges etc)

*Refreshments included mixed nuts, goldfish crackers, gummy bears, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, etc. Ice tea/Lemonade, etc.

(Large bottle waters were always out by ice bucket for all services)

*Wine and cheese - good crackers, tray of cheese cubes (hot pepper/swiss/cheddar/wedge of blue cheese or similiar) veggie plate with dip, wonderful thick sliced bread (I think it was a sourdough, I usually had to have two slices with butter as I love homemade bread!) sometimes with a spread in a bowl next to the basket (one day tomato basil, the next babah ganoush), peanut butter and jelly uncrustables, and on the other side in two le Creuset casseroles/dutch ovens (warning - heavy lids! Kids shouldn't try to lift them) one day of our stay was Minestone (really exceptionally YUMMY!) and the other pan had pork and cabbage, the next day one pan had clam chowder, other pan had beef and bisquits, and the next day one pan had chicken broth with veggies, the other pan had paella. Wines were Merlot (14 Hands), White Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, sorry I don't remember all the beers but Bass Ale and Miller Lite were there in the cooler with Coke and Diet Coke, Sprite, juice boxes and other drinks

*Cordials and desserts - Kahlua, Grand Marnier, etc. Small dessert bites like brownies, magic bars, cookies

My picture shows the cooler before they stocked it up

Ice Tea/ lemonade/juice, bottled water - ice bucket, glasses, to go cups with lids

Coffee, hot tea service

Seating looking out toward stream and pool (and geyser!)

Plenty of seating (kids area with TV at end of this) NOT as narrow as it looks in my picture

Opposite side has couch to watch plasma TV

Plasma TV and more seating

we've stayed at the WL concierge a few times and very much enjoyed it.
The CMs are very nice and always willing to help.
