No one. You can't call the front desk at Disney. You'll have to wait till you arrive at the Resort and ask there.
Perfect - thank you! I will add that to my list so I don’t forget at check in.

Thank you. Yes I realized that the CM aren't at the resort and after I asked her I knew I shouldn't have so I just sayed ok and made a mental note to make a beeline for the dis boards as soon as I got off the phone, lol. I'm assuming they have a cut off for how many guests they allow to add the CL, correct? That's my reasoning behind calling in and asking to add it on before we arrived so that we knew if we had the lounge for breakfast or not. We will only be staying 2 nights so I guess we will have to wait and see. Thanks again.The CM on the reservation line aren't at the resort and won't have any idea. Sadly, so often, the last to know anything.
It's $99/night

Oh I know and that's fine. We have stayed CL at AK and we were no where near the lounge so that doesn't bother me any. The WL is one of the few CL that we haven't stayed at and it just seemed like a nice idea to be able to try it for the short stay that we have to see if we like it or not.Yes, there is a cut-off but even the CL CMs I asked today aren’t sure of the magic number.
Ask at check-in, but realize that your room will not be upgraded so you will have to take the elevator or stairs to get to the Club Lounge!!

We love the BWI CL and stay there for most of our trips but this time around we want to spend a good deal of time at the F&W festival and got a really great price at the BC. I'm just looking for a little more reasonable priced CL over at the MK side. We have stayed several times at the GF RPC but the price tag is just getting too crazy and I won't pay those prices.
I know I read somewhere in this thread that if you book a WL room you can ask to have your room upgraded to a CL access for an extra charge. I stalked the website like crazy to add 2 nights to our upcoming October trip and found an AP rate at the WL at a pretty good rate. We will then be moving to the BC for another week to enjoy F&W festival. I have read so much about the WL CL that I was hoping to be able to try it out for our short stay here. I did call in and ask and got a CM that had no idea of what I was talking about and she told me to ask at the front desk when I checked in.
So my question is do they still allow it and how much does it cost per night? Thanks everyone.
That’s great to know - I had no idea you could do that! Do you know who I would call?
Yes, I'm here now. They have Michelle brut to be exact. The other wines are cloudveil pinot noir, milbrandt cab, chateau st Michelle Riesling and milbrandt chardonnay. @GADisneyDad14 they don't have any Bud light...so watch out. Haha! All of the beers are craft beers, nothing "normal". Session lager, Elysian superfuzz, Jasmine IPA and day glow IPA, also Rogue dead guy
We are planning to ask to add the CL access to our stay Labor Day weekend too. We were in a CL room for 1 night but made a switch of some plans and are now there 2 nights and they didn't have the CL rooms for 2 nights so we booked regular rooms and will ask to add it on. If we can't it won't be a huge issue. But I'm thinking there aren't that many who realize you can do it so likely not going to be a problem
THank you so much for the info- you made my husband’s day with the Baileys.

I was also surprised to see a bottle of whiskey out during cordials time.
View from my room. Golf course and fish from snorkeling on property.

At Epcot today but just want to duck into a Happy Dance my kids and I will be at AKL CL tomorrow.
They still don't know yet serious considerating checking out of AOA bright and early to move over lol my kids will kill me though..
We just did this, this past weekend and it was fantastic. We booked a standard view room but got "upgraded" to a courtyard view room. Our room was as far from the lounge as possible (1st floor at the end of the hall) and it took maybe 5 minutes to get to the lounge. The CMs were absolutely wonderful. The food was REALLY good. We had a shrimp pasta that was fantastic on Sunday night. The breakfast is a little lacking compared to other CLs but still sufficient.
When we checked in I just asked if we could add on CL access and they said sure. So it was super easy. Just FYI, you don't get any type of tour of the lounge. Also no turn down service.
If you all have any other questions about the lounge or offerings please let me know.
At WL (which is the only one were you can add it on to a regular room, for the record) it's $99^^ How much extra did you pay for Club access? When I look at the price difference on the disney reservation website, we would have to drink a LOT of beer to make it worth the extra charge. It seems Club Level mostly gives you access to a lounge area and some free snacks/drinks.

When checking room prices at the Contemporary it was over $1,000 more, maybe that includes something else?
No, at Disney CL doesn't include a whole lot of anything else. There is staff that can book dining reservations or fast pass for you but they can't find any that you can't find for yourself. They don't get a special access to any that you can't find on MDE yourself. All the resorts have different pricing on how much more the CL rooms are over the non CL rooms. But the rooms themselves, unless you are looking at the Deluxe rooms (and they are named such on the lists) are the same.When checking room prices at the Contemporary it was over $1,000 more, maybe that includes something else?
Confessions of a Resort Changer... So, we were booked at GF (not at CL) for Oct 25-29, but DH wasn't really down with that, so I just booked AKL Savanna View CL at the AP rate. We've stayed at AKL once before, but never at CL. In fact, we've never done CL anywhere. I am super-excited, although it seems like the AKL thread doesn't have a ton of info about CL there, but I found some stuff in this discussion. Looking forward to seeing how the "other half" vacays...
