Just back!
Will do a text post here then see if I can follow up with images.
We had booked 8/24-28 at Coronado Springs club level - this was our first club level trip. As I shared earlier in this thread, we had some pixie dust sprinkled on our trip a few days prior, and they upgraded our 8/23-24 reservation and 9/28-29 reservation in standard rooms (which we had booked bc of our travel times/updated flight schedule) to club level as well, so we did not have to switch rooms after all.
Our room was 9570, on the 15th floor, down the hall from the Chronos Club. We had booked standard view and were given a water view. Location was quiet, view was excellent, and the convenience to the Club just couldn't be beat.
Our travel party is myself, my husband, and our two girls ages 6 and 8. We are foodies & value good service. Our last trip in January we did a split stay between Poly & Beach and were eager to see how this compared. We weren't really sure what the kids would think of the whole experience, which was "just" a resort stay +
MNSSHP, or the lounge food/etc.
10/10 recommend and we'll be booking back at the Chronos Club for SURE. The lounge is so comfortable, amazing views, and the staff top notch. Everyone was welcoming, helpful, glad to engage us in conversation, and (I know it's Disney, but still not always something you find at a higher-end location) very tolerant, kind, & welcoming to the kids. And my girls LOVED it all. The Chronos Club has a chest full of toys that they & others played with frequently, as well as checkers, chess, and similar games. They loved feeling grown up and filling their own plates, and the staff quickly learned their specialty drink request & often brought one without asking. My kids are not the most adventurous eaters, but they had no issue finding food each night (just a bit of a struggle on the protein side some nights).
We also just loved the atmosphere, we had so many great conversation with other families, our kids made friends with other kiddos, and we didn't experience any poor guest behavior. The lounge got a little full over the weekend but we never had an issue finding a seat.
I stalked the thread beforehand and food offerings seemed pretty similar to what others have reported the past few months, but here's the general overview to give a recent report:
Breakfasts: croissants, cereals, 2 sweet bread options, 2 muffin options, a rotating scone option. Oatmeal, 2 kids of fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, deli meat. Hot options were a mix of the following: eggs/bacon, eggs/sausage, goat cheese with tomato chutney toast, frittata (bacon one day, sausage another), Spanish potatoes.
Snacks: no change from what's been mentioned. Crudités, Uncrustables, various chips, banana chips, pretzels, goldfish.
Dinner: cheese, meats, olives/etc, crudites with trio of dips. pan tomate. Rotating items: citrus couscous, pan ensalata, jack fruit salad, different gazpachos.
Main course rotations: Lomo Saltado Steak/Swordfish Escabeche (night 1), Heart of Palm cakes/Togarashi Tuna (night 2 and 5), Salmon with tomato chutney/Bravas Potatos (night 4), Meatloaf with red pepper fennel compote/Swordfish Escabeche (night 3 and 6). Not an exact 3 night rotation, maybe trying some new things with the steak and potatoes, and I have to say those were my two favorites...yum!
Kids dinner options rotated on a 3 day schedule between corn dogs, mac & cheese, and noodles with beef marinara.
Desserts: usually 3 various small treats, plus cupcakes, cookies, candies, & the cordials. Some we saw were pecan blondies, blood orange biscuit, vanilla cheesecake, lemon olive oil cake, smores pot de creme, etc. Plus we were offered chocolate dipped rice krispees a few times, and one night we asked for & received Mickey bars! (Which they told us just depends on if they have them in stock upstairs)
Alcohol has been moved so that it's served by staff, which makes sense for liability purposes. Pours tended to be small but no issues with getting refills as desired.
This is getting long so I'll wind it down...let me know if I can answer any questions at all!
) CR Tower Club. Ohhhhh, so quiet. I love it. I appreciate the location of Epcot resorts, but the relative quiet is my jam. Room 4912, which is one of the two King rooms. I had seen pics of the bathroom with the weird tub/shower situation and thought I’d be disappointed, but it’s fine. I do prefer 4911, but not enough to think about it for long. Grabbed an “adult coffee” and ran over to MK for Tron. Back for apps later.
Oh well.
