Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

[SL6827]

It's been released - I just booked today

The discount for CL (at Poly) wasn't nearly as good as I expected though. We went with SV Poly. I didn't get BC CL quoted.

Ok, I will check it out then. Hmmmm.

In our many trips, we have not had this situation arise, so I thought I'd toss it to the group. We will be arriving to our resort very early in the day this trip. Will we be able to utilize the club lounge for breakfast on check in day even though check-in is not technically until 3pm? We have always arrived in the afternoons during snack service in the past, so I was not sure if it would be a faux pas to count on a light breakfast in the lounge upon arrival. Trying to determine if I should plan to make an ADR if we can't. Thanks in advance.

You can start using CL amenities the entire day of your check-in, so yes, totally legit to have breakfast. We’ve arrived early many times and grabbed a bite after checking in. Same works on the back end too, you can use the CL lounge until midnight on your check-out day.

Curious, how early are you arriving?

Have fun!

Thank you! I thought so, but I didn't want to break etiquette Situation is this, flying out very late the night before our resort check-in and planning to just get a cheap room near the airport and arrive at the Atrium Club around 7:30am the next morning (morning of check-in). Gives us a full park day-and who doesn't love an extra park day, right???

Ahh, cool - sounds like a good day to me. 7:30 is perfect as the CL desk CMs are there starting at 7AM so they can get you checked-in and ready to go!

Have fun!

Has anyone stayed at Yacht Club CL recently? Was curious about the hours of operation and food/drink offerings. Thanks!

Stayed CL at the Y/B for the first time in May '17.

Hours were same as most WDW clubs we have been to.

Morning 7 to 10, Light snacks until 5 PM when "hot" servings begin and offered until 7 PM with Desserts from 8 to 10 PM.

I will say I have stayed and a few different CL, this was the only one where the staff flickered the lights off and on at 9:45 PM to chase us out.

Happened on more than one night, and it was fifteen minutes before ten, with the staff clearing out servings as the lights were flickering.

Like flickered like a theater does at intermission or flickered for a period of time so you felt you were in a strobe situation?

Thank you for the update! Any suggestions or lessens learned (besides arriving prior to 9:45pm for dessert!)?

The Labor Day Special, is it better then Military ? What is the discount?
Thanks

Is it true they got rid of the kids offerings at the animal kingdom club level? Can someone give me a sample of some of the common menu items ?

Hey guys

I updated the guest list, but not many messages in my inbox. If anyone wants to be added let me know!

I'm trying to find a room literally at any resort in Nov or Dec and having no luck. I might have to stay off property!

Good luck finding something I know pickings have been slim as I have tried to tweek my ressy with no luck.

Please put us on the list for SL GF Dec 4-8 2017 thanks

I've been trying to upgrade to Poly CL since sometime in September w/o success.
Still happy I've some kind of room .

Oh yikes! We have stayed Regatta Club many times, but not as recently as May 2017, and I can't say we have ever experienced rude light flickering to chase us out! I hope that isn't the new normal.

So do I dare bring this up here....

If you didn’t see it today, Disney announced a trial program where they are allowing dogs at four resorts - YC, AoA, POR, and the Cabins at FW. Goes into effect Monday (how’s that for plenty of notice....).

Plenty of other threads going on debating this topic, but I’m more curious how this could/would work with a CL reservation. The chatter from Disney the best that folks can tell is that rooms where dogs are allowed will be in certain areas/floors. If anyone is going to YC CL sometime soon (or there now), I’d be curious what the CL CMs have to say about how this will work. Can you bring your dog with a CL reservation and still stay on the CL floor?

Very, very interesting.

I was just going to post a similar question!

Maybe they'll add kibble to the CL offerings.

On and off like chasing unwanted guests.

Never experienced anything like it in, Contenpory, Poly or Boardwakk Club in twenty years.

Just spent eight nights at Boardwalk CL, it is not the new standard. At 9:55 PM Boardwalk staff would politely ask us if we needed anything else before closing.

 

[Maxie86]

I'll be there a week from tomorrow. I'll see if I can get some information if nobody reports back before then.

Hi! Well, I don't know if this is all that soon, but DH and I will be YC CL Oct 21 - 26.

I will try to get some info from CL CM's while there. I love dogs, but am concerned about barking disturbances during night time, plus allergy issues in the lounge and in the rooms.

As you say....very interesting!
