The rooms themselves are not any different size-wise, but you do get the automatic turn-down service w/free trinket gifts daily. You also have to use your roomkey in the elevator to access the 7th floor club level. They advertise robes in the room, but I was not impressed with the quality of them. The big benefit of club level is the club room that has light breakfast foods such as cereals, lots of sliced fruits, bagels/cream cheese--including hot, iced cinnamon rolls everyday, pre-dinner type food--plus one light entre, and then every evening there are a few kinds of dessert things put out. PLUS, all day long you have access to little bottles of Coke and Sprite, as well as bottled water (they encourage you to grab some to take to the parks with you!) coffee and tea (about 8 Earl Gray varieties). There is also beer, Coronas, and wine available each afternoon for free----you could get mixed drinks for a price. We found that by grabbing something quick to eat in the morning in the club room , we actually saved $$ by not having to buy more than one big meal a day at the parks. There was usually a thunderstorm in the afternoon so we went back to RPR to wait it out and took advantage of their afternoon offerings such as cheese/crackers, sliced veggies/dips, nachos/cheese, and some type of main dish (pork/rice one night) then went back to the parks. You will also get a big discount if you decide to rent a cabana. My 14 and 17 yr old boys were quite pleased with the amount/variety of foods offered daily. We're planning to do it all again next July.

To whomever is considering whether to stay on the club level or not, we just returned from staying there (Oct. 19-22) and we loved it!! The staff was so friendly and went out of their way to help. In fact, I also would like to write a note to the manager regarding the service. We loved having the large lounge as our "extended space" aside from our room. It was not crowded at all, in fact, a lot of times we were the only ones in there!! I did wander over to the Hard Rock and checked out their kid suite (very nice, but expensive!) and their lounge. The lounge doesn't compare to the RPR's lounge. Its much bigger and nicer at RPR. I loved the atmosphere at RPR, loved the 30's and 40's music that was all over the resort, and the boats that brought us back and forth to the parks. We LOVED Tchoup Choup too! Our kids wanted to try the Mariner's Club that night, which was right down the walkway from Emeril's. We enjoyed every course that we had! We tried the manager's special, I think it had 4 courses. The Ipu-ipu drink was FANTASTIC!! Try it, you won't be sorry. Well anyway, I just thought I'd give my two cents. How can I get the address of the club level to write about the staff? I wish I could remember all their names, the girl that was really helpful had dark hair, she worked at night with another guy. They were all great though. They helped with reservations, directions, tips, hints, etc. They also gave our kids stickers and postcards. They did their homework in the lounge, it was nice to have the extra room. I can't wait to go back!!! Too bad we live thousands of miles away!! Kelly
