Great tips, guys! We’ve never stayed club level, so we will definitely take note of these! I was quite surprised that Coronado was on the bottom of your list considering how new it is, but I totally get why.
I loved Boardwalk Club Level! Anywhere that offers me a mimosa without me asking at 9am when I’ve just arrived after an early flight wins my heart. We did have a room one floor up from the lounge last year when we stayed.
Haha! That sounds about right! The perfect start to a vacation. 😄 Thanks for letting us know about the room. We’ll have to find out more when they reopen the club levels again. 😊
This is so helpful!! We stayed Club Level for the first time at Gran Destino last December. We had planned to stay Club Level at Beach Club earlier this summer...but I think we all know how that turned out!
We do too. Although we'd ultimately love to see that become a permanent Community Hall for Copper/Boulder (it's currently being used as a temporary one). ❤️
I must say my wife and I might be slightly jealous that you guys got to stay at WDW resorts for a WHOLE YEAR! That so cool!! Thank you for such an informative video!
Agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the Innkeeper's Club at the Boardwalk Inn. The food and service from the all the cast members, and view of the Epcot fireworks makes for a truly magical stay in Disney.
In November 2019, the week leading up to Thanksgiving, we stayed at Beach Club in a club level room. It was our first time staying club level. We had stayed at BC twice before in non club level rooms but this was a last minute trip and it was the only room type I could find with a discount. It was less expensive to stay club level than non club level because all regular discounted rooms were booked.Needless to say we loved it. Our room was maybe four rooms down from the lounge and the concierge sat just outside the lounge door and were always so helpful. The convenience for drinks and snacks for our family was great. I enjoyed the Edys ice cream every night, my husband enjoyed the alcoholic drinks and my children enjoyed the snacks. The kids headed straight to the lounge when we returned from the parks each day..Our room was a little smaller than before but was extremely clean with extremely comfortable beds and blankets. I could have stayed in the room without going to the parks and been happy. And, I believe that says a lot considering we were so close to Epcot. Accessing the 5th floor confused us at first but we got the hang of it (vacation brain). At the time, because our stay was club level, we had been able to prepurchase and prebook extra fast passes prior to our trip which was invaluable due to the high crowd levels. I felt like the crowds were higher than previous trips during the same time period. We were able to use the extra fast passes to ride the headliners with little to no wait. I do want to stay at Wilderness Lodge on our next trip which, God willing, will be in 2022. We usually stay a week. We have stayed at old key west, animal kingdom kindani, art of animation- cars, beach club villas, beach club resort and beach club resort club level, respectively. Once we stayed so close to Epcot, we just never looked back. We grew up taking family vacations to the beach so the atmosphere was comforting and nostalgic. I am trying to convince myself and my family to try something new and stay at Wilderness lodge. We have never stayed in the MK area and and i can imagine how magical WLodge would be especially in November. and being close to MK I guess my biggest concern is transportation. What is the best transportation option to Epcot from WLodge? and are the buses to Disney Springs efficient?
The only transportation from WL to Epcot is the bus system. We’ve never had an issue with it, but depending on time of year and the new seating changes, it could take longer than the every 15 minutes they’re scheduled. It’s always tough choosing a club level to visit, especially if you’ve had an amazing experience at one. 😊
Thanks for the info on allergies! My son has a peanut allergy, and I have wanted to stay club level at Beach Club, Boardwalk or Wilderness, but I was concerned about peanuts. I know Disney is awesome about allergies, and we loved going last year and felt pretty confident when ordering food, but I wasn't sure about the club food. Thanks for talking about it!
You’re welcome! 😊 They’re so good about accommodating allergies at the lounges. Each one is different in how they handle them, but we’ve seen some amazing accommodations made, especially for kids. ❤️
Odd question, but we are doing disney with 2 other people who aren't staying with us at wilderness club level. When we get food, will they not have access to the floor? Obviously I know they can't eat or drink, but will they be restricted from even joining us?
Yes. They won’t allow anyone inside who isn’t club level. The best option would be to get your plates of food and join them at one of the seating areas around the lobby or at the quick service seating area.
Miss club level so much. We have stayed at wilderness lodge, boardwalk and yacht club. I think it was a tie between boardwalk and yacht club. The service at both was what put it over the top.
Yes we've stayed at Yacht Club , & Beach Club club levels along with Wilderness Lodge and also the Disneyland hotel in California... But hands down service, amenities & over MOST magic is Beach Club Club level!!! we stay for 2 weeks every July there, and started working our way through the other clubs for our shorter stays through out the year. We believe they are worth every extra cost!!!!!
@@HereWithTheEars yes the pool is huge reason we like it there & how close it is to Epcot, really enjoyed your live the other evening where y'all ate at Beaches & cream... Saw that Storm-along Bay was open!!! really made our night we're staying at Yacht end of September, we were also heart broken over clubs & meal plans being shut down for rest of 2020. Have already booked 2021 vacations!! Thank you again for all the great content, maybe we'll get lucky and see y'all at the parks.
Question! Are you allowed to use the club level all day on a check-in day, and all day on a check out day? Like you can use the pools and other resort amenities Thanks!
Some rooms are available to book, but the club level lounges are not available, so they have limited which room types can be booked and not opened booking for any room types at some of the resorts. We don’t know when Disney will reopen club level, but we do hope it’s soon as we miss it. ❤️
The club level at The Wilderness Lodge is basically like $100 more (on top of a standard room) and the club level at The Boardwalk in is like $200 more, correct?
Wilderness Lodge is the into resort that allows you to add the upgrade. The cost was $130/night when Disney closed, but they haven’t brought this back yet.
Fantastic Video! I'm A Big Club Level Lounge Person! Anywhere I Stay! If I Can Swing It, I'll Do It! I've Stayed At Both Grand Floridian and Contemporary Club Levels! Both Times Were Phenomenal! Will Take Your Advice On My Next Two Trips To WDW. Spring/Fall 2021. I'll Stay At Boardwalk and Wilderness Lodge Club Levels! Thanks For The Great And Informative Video! You Two Stay Safe...Stay You! God Speed In All Your Endeavors! (Thomas Sala Retired CM Disneyland Resort!) P.s. I Do Not Even Know Your Names...Silly Me! May I Ask? Thanks! 💖💖
That’s awesome! Disney has so many great Club levels to choose from! Hope you love Wilderness and Boardwalk as much as we do! 😊 We’re Robert and Alyssa 💕
We got upgraded to club level two years ago at beach club. It’s the first and only time we’ve been club level. Although it was nice to have access to free snacks and bottled beer/champagne, I don’t think it’s worth the extra $100-200/night that it generally costs
Thank you for your video - very helpful. You mentioned they are booking club level for 2021. We just tried to do so, as our July 2021 Polynesian stay was impacted by the recently announced refurbishment. Unfortunately, Club level is not yet available for booking as of 9/2-9/3. We are hoping it does open up for 2021.
Have you ever stayed club level at WDW? Which one is your favorite?
You should do, onsite partner hotels too.
The History of the Contemporary is Awesome
Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for mentioning the convenience, menu variety, and availability of seating, as well as staffing. These are all super important issues for us and we appreciate your candid assessments. Keep up the great work!
So glad it was helpful! We tried to include as much information as possible (without making a 3 hour video lol)
I finally understand what Club Level is all about. We'll have to try it out, probably at Wilderness Lodge. The vibe there is my favorite.
It’s a great one! 😃
Great job, very informative!
Thank you!
I love this video. I want to stay club level the next time I visit Disney. This has helped a lot. You two are awesome!
So glad we could help! Club level is such a great way to enjoy Disney! ❤️
Great tips, guys! We’ve never stayed club level, so we will definitely take note of these! I was quite surprised that Coronado was on the bottom of your list considering how new it is, but I totally get why.
We hope you get to experience club level in the future and love it as much as we did! ❤️

Awww...hopefully next year Disney will be able to bring the club levels back. They’re such a great part of the resort stays. 😊
Hi, I have stayed at Boardwalk (2017) and Grand Floridian (2011) It is such a fun experience. Glad to find your channel from GWVL.
So glad you enjoyed them! There’s nothing quite like club level at a Disney resort 😃
Super helpful info!!!!
Never really thought about it until now. 😉
Once you stay Club Level it's reeeally hard to go back 😂
This is silly. But, which club has Mickey Ice cream free flow?
Copper creek had reunion station , thought it was great!! Wish it would have stayed!!!
We do too. Although we'd ultimately love to see that become a permanent Community Hall for Copper/Boulder (it's currently being used as a temporary one). ❤️
I must say my wife and I might be slightly jealous that you guys got to stay at WDW resorts for a WHOLE YEAR! That so cool!! Thank you for such an informative video!
You’re welcome! 😊 We loved our experience living at Disney and all the incredible memories we made that year 💕
Wow you guys are awesome. Your videos are so informative and helpful. Thanks for all your videos!
You’re welcome! Glad they’ve been helpful ❤️
Loved It. THANK YOU!!
You’re welcome ❤️

Aren't they amazing! The Cast there are a big reason they come so close to Wilderness Lodge for #1. Nobody else is even close!

We miss it so much too! Such a unique and wonderful way to stay at Disney ❤️
I have a DVC Club level room booked for next August. Can we take food and drinks to go back to our room? The noise level might be bothersome to us.
Yes, you can always take food and drinks back to your room from the club lounges.
@@HereWithTheEars THANK YOU!!! You guys are the best.

Disney stopped booking 2021 club level rooms . Hopefully that will change soon
Thank you for letting us know! We missed that.
Can’t wait to try the Innkeepers Club and the Royal Palm Club next summer!
Enjoy!
Have your favourites changed after reopening? Looking for feedback on Boardwalk and Grand Floridian
Question! Are you allowed to use the club level all day on a check-in day, and all day on a check out day? Like you can use the pools and other resort amenities
Thanks!
You can! You have full access from morning to evening both check in and check out day 😃 (at WDW - not the case at Disneyland we've been told)
we have tried to book club level for 2021 however, all places say club level not available.. our trip is in
september..any idea when we can book them
Some rooms are available to book, but the club level lounges are not available, so they have limited which room types can be booked and not opened booking for any room types at some of the resorts. We don’t know when Disney will reopen club level, but we do hope it’s soon as we miss it. ❤️

Was hoping to try the strawberry soup this coming up trip. We had reservations at 1900 Park Fare in June.
Last time we went I had 3 bowls 🤣 Hopefully they'll reopen soon as family style like some of the other buffets have. 🤞
First ez
Well done - very informative!
Thank you 😊
