For my personal trips to Walt Disney World, I always try to experience something new. Especially things that I feel my clients would be curious about. For my last trip, I stayed at Disney's Yacht Club Resort Club Level. While I had stayed there before, it was years ago.
Let's dive in:
Club Level rooms are available at Disney Deluxe Resorts: Beach Club, Yacht Club, Boardwalk, Wilderness Lodge, The Contemporary, Polynesian Village, Grand Floridian and Animal Kingdom Resorts. I have personally stayed at all of these resorts and Club Level at four of them.
Our room at Disney's Yacht Club was well-appointed. We had extra bathroom amenities and a nice welcome gift. Our mousekeepers left us adorable towel creations every day.
What are the benefits?
When you stay Club Level, you get a personalized check in at the club level desk located adjacent to the Club Level Lounge.
The concierge team can help guests with tech issues like Magic Band set up, questions about Genie+, dining reservations and more. We received a phone call ahead of our stay with offers to assist with our planning.
Club Level guests are the only ones who can book a Minnie Van ride from the airport.
The Lounges serve food and beverages during four separate service hours. At breakfast, they offer a variety of pastry, toast, fruit, cereal and a selection of hot items. My favorite part though is the coffee. All the lounges have an espresso machine in addition to regular coffee, tea and hot cocoa. In the afternoon, guests can find snack items like crackers, cheeses, fruits and sweets like cookies. Coffee is always available, as well as canned soda and Mickey Bars and Mickey ice cream sandwiches.
In the evening, the lounges offer appetizers. Each lounge has it's own spin on what is offered. You can 'almost' make a light supper out of the offerings. The hot items rotate each night and are accompanied by items like veggies and dip, cheese and crackers and more. Concierges set up a little bar area with a variety of wine and beer.
When you return from the parks in the late evening, 9:00 - 10:00pm, the Lounge serves mini desserts along with 'cordials' like Bailey's. If you ask, however, the attendants will bring you wine or beer.
In addition to the food and beverage offered, we enjoy the lounge for a place to hang out together. There's a little television playing Disney Jr. with a child size table and chairs so children can eat while watching. The little ones loved it! We enjoyed the verandah here as well. The weather was beautiful and we had coffee in the morning out there as well as wine in the evening.
While I don't think you can eat and drink enough to make up the cost of the rooms here, I know we saved money on coffee, snacks and even dinners.
Why Choose Club Level
If you are planning more resort time and not full days in the parks, having the lounge makes your stay much more comfortable.
If the noise and 'busy' atmosphere in the parks wears on you over time, I find that the Club Level rooms are quieter and offer a nice respite from it all.
If you are used to a higher level of service, you will find that here. There is nothing wrong with the service at the other Disney resorts, this is definitely more personal and attentive.
If you are celebrating something special - a birthday, an anniversary, or something else - a Club Level stay makes it extra memorable.
