Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

[PackYourPixieDust]

Hi all! I'm looking for some advice:

I'm starting to plan/save for my disneymoon! We are getting married in Nov 2017 and planning to leave the next morning for the world. We have normally stayed in the Sugarloaf at the GF (I love the tower rooms) but this time I am considering RPC. Is the cost difference worth it? I like the idea of feeling extra special and pampered, but at the same time I think that the difference in price could be MVMCP tickets and a meal at V&A (where we ate the night he proposed) and I'm sure a lot of food during the F&W festival.

Thoughts? Opinions? I know it's early, but I'm trying to get a handle on how much I need to save. Thanks in advance!

I loooove that you can walk out of your room (or if you have a room at the end of the hall) and hear the orchestra/band. It is so fantastic. That right there is worth it for me. We've had a deluxe king on the corners (turret room) and we could hear it from bed. It was the best.

I remember debating the same thing 16 years ago and my Dad said to go all out because you will not be able to justify spending this much on a vacation again. We stayed in a turret room (called honeymoon suites back then) with RPC for 4 nights because that was all we could afford. It was worth every penny!

The next time we stayed here was for our 15th anniversary for 2 nights because the cost of the room has gone up so much. We got upgraded to a TPV and it was worth every penny!

I'm not so sure you'll really feel "extra special" or "pampered" - but heck, it's your honeymoon, go big! If it were me on my honeymoon, I'd definitely want to be in the main building. Obviously a totally subjective "easy for me to say" opinion and I don't know how much the extra money will be on your budget, but for me it would be no debate. Best of luck with your planning, and early congrats!

I agree!

So excited to be planning our first trip to CR, and club level too!! Can you please add me to the list? CR Atrium club 11/13-11/19/16

Hope you have a great time! Happy planning .

Is it okay to get room service delivered to the club lounge instead of your room? Thinking of doing this at the Poly (posted on the Poly thread as well.)

I don't know the answer, but hopefully others will be able to help .

Thanks!!

You're welcome .

Single digits today!!!!!!!!! Poly CL next Monday!

Have a great trip!

Wonderful report! AKL is on our list. I have stayed there while traveling for work, but my kids were wowed by the resort when we went for a Boma dinner. We need two rooms there for the five of us.

Thanks so much for sharing! Your post made me even more excited for my AKL CL stay in October!

That's what I figured. I can eat a half an appetizer for dinner and my boyfriend can eat a bit more so I thought that it sounded like way too much food to be paying for ahead of time. The snacks seem to get me but only in MK or EPCOT so I think the location of Poly and their snacks throughout the day will be fine. We're trying to lower the cost of our stay at Poly so instead of staying at three resorts, we stay at two. Thank you so much for all of your help!

Look through this thread for offerings and what not for Poly CL. We were there 3 weeks ago, you can have a bagel and fruit for breakfast or cereal. Snacks are chips and cookies. The appetizers were nothing to get excited over and you really could not make a meal out of them especially if you don't care for say conch fritters or pieroggies. YC Cl had a wider assortment of appetizers and offerings. We accept the difference because we loved the Poly and the view is phenomenal.

Agree! What they lack in food they make up for with amazing views, theme, and location. That's why I always tell people to make a list of pros and cons to find out what's important to your own family. Everyone's priorities are different of course.

This is exactly how we feel about Poly too! Though I do wish they'd at least add the meat/cheese platter at breakfast. But that won't stop us from staying there, especially 1st or 3rd floor on the lagoon side! Views and location change everything for us .
