Club-level amenities

These are prevalent. 

• Lounge​

• Staff

• Minnie Van to and from airport

The club-level lounge has amazing food options that rotate based on the day of the week.  They serve four times a day.

​

Breakfast - 7am to 10:30am

• Breakfast can be anything from egg bites to pancakes and sausage.

• There is always cereal.

• Oatmeal is normally available.

• You'll find croissants and bread with bagels and jellies.

• Fruit is on the menu as well.

Light Lunch/Snacks - 11:30am to 4pm

• Veggies and dips​

• PB&J sandwiches

• cheese and crackers

• fruit

• Ice tea and Lemonade

• Cracker snacks for kids

Hors d'oeuvres and and beverages - 5pm to 7pm

• This can be anything from crab cakes to beef with mashed potatoes. 

• They typically always have a very kid friendly option like chicken fingers or corn dogs.

• I had one of the best tuna tartare dishes here once!

• There will also be a bar cart with service from the club-level cast members.

Desserts and Cordials - 8pm to 10pm

• My kids love this.  These are small bite desserts like macaroons, a tiny cupcake or a cookie.  They can fill a plate a make a typical dessert.

• Mickey ice cream is also available every day.

• These desserts rotate too but not as much as the breakfast and 'dinner' options.  

​

Drinks are included in the club-level.  

​

Each club-level has a coffee/espresso machine that normally opens with the club-level at 6:30am.  

​

Soft drinks and water are included for you when the club-level room is open for service.  

(My kids drink a lot of milk and request it often.  The cast members are happy to assist!)

​

And if you would like an alcoholic drink, they normally have a welcome drink with and without alcohol for everyone in the party.  There is a cocktail hour for your convenience. 

​

And there are cordials during dessert each evening.  

(I like some Bailey's and Kahlua in my coffee at night!)

Currently, only Guests staying in a club-level room are able to book Disney's Minnie Van Service to and from the airport.  

​

I have found this to be a HUGE perk.  I have other transportation groups in the Orlando area that I like but nothing beats a Minnie Van pick-up.   It's comparable in price to other services.   It's currently $199 each way.  They have water and snacks when you get in the car and you know the driver is going to be the best because they are a Disney employee!

So, I've run the numbers 3 or 4 times through the years.  

​

If you are asking if I SAVE MONEY by staying on the club-level, the answer is no.  But I will tell you that I've run the numbers and been pretty close to even when I compare other trips in standard rooms and add up my food and beverage bill.

​

If you are a person who enjoys being at the resort, this is a do.  We like to eat breakfast in the club-level, have snacks at lunch time, and get dessert before bed.  We are using the amenities so we get our money's worth.

(**My husband has gone down at 6am to do work in the club level area before they open the food for some quiet time on calls to not wake us up!)

​

If you are planning to check out restaurants around the resorts and in the theme parks and spend all day in the theme parks, you'll probably feel like you wasted your money.

​

​

Club-level rooms don't look any different than resort-view rooms or water-view rooms in the other Walt Disney World Resorts.  

​

Be sure to book a room that fits your family size.  We are big fans of Disney's Yacht Club but there isn't a water-view club-level room that will hold my family of four and my mom.  (No five person unless you book a suite.).

 

We are willing to book a second room because we love this resort so very much.  Other resorts will hold 5 in a standard room without you booking a suite.  We accomplished this at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.
