Traveling to Orlando and staying at a Disney resort is already too cool. But there's a way to make that trip even more luxurious: the Disney Club Level.
On this post
For those who don't know, the Disney Club Level is a kind of upgrade you make when booking your Disney hotel. In other words, it's like a VIP service for guests.
It's only available at certain Disney luxury resorts and offers a host of incredible perks for guests. But keep in mind that the values are extremely higher than the cheapest disney hotels.
Want to know what they are and if it's worth hiring the service? Then read on!
What is the Disney Club Level
Disney Club Level is a VIP service for guests staying at Disney luxury resorts.
It is a service aimed at offering much more comfort, convenience and advantages to guests who will spend more time in hotels.
The idea of the Club Level is to have a range of services and spaces that are aimed at an audience willing to invest a little more to receive certain perks.
We'll talk more about the system in a moment, but we can say that Club Level customers receive special cleaning in the room, have access to VIP areas in the hotel and more advantages when buying FastPasses and other Disney attractions.
Which hotels have the Disney Club Level
The Disney Club Level, as it is a more differentiated service, is not sold to any guest at the Casa do Mickey resorts. However, anyone can purchase the upgrade as long as they stay at one of the participating hotels.
To become a Club Level guest, guests must stay at one of Disney's luxury resorts. Therefore, in one of the establishments listed below:
- Animal Kingdom Lodge;
- BoardWalk Inn;
- Beach Club Resort;
- Contemporary Resort;
- Grand Floridian Resort & Spa;
- Polynesian Village Resort;
- Wilderness lodge;
- Yatch Club Resort.
Benefits of hiring the Disney Club Level
Okay, now we've established what the Disney Club Level is and where it's available for purchase.
But, the question that remains is another: after all, what are the advantages for the guest?
After all, there has to be some benefit that justifies changing a common hosting in one of the Disney luxury hotels for a VIP experience on top of that.
By the way, the service at Disney's luxury resorts is already amazing.
Staying in them is already very interesting and full of pampering. So Club Level needs something above that to stand out.
Does he deliver?
Are there really many advantages in this system or is it not worth investing in it? Let's find out!
The Physical Perks of the Disney Club Level
We can divide Disney Club Level perks into two groups: physical perks, which you receive for being a guest on that system, and possibility perks.
We say this because one of the perk groups you get just for upgrading. The other you only get the possibility to get, since you have to pay more for it.
Let's start with the first group: the physical advantages.
The first physical perk is access to Disney Resort Concierge Service.
These professionals will be there to help solve problems, schedule activities or answer questions from guests.
They won't always be able to solve all the problems or make all the appointments, of course. It will depend on the possibilities that are above them.
For example, I've seen a case of a concierge who secured a last-minute seat for a Club Level couple at Storybook Dining.
But that was only possible because there were only two people. If there were 3 or 4, for example, it probably wouldn't be possible.
So, as you can see, the concierges try their best to help and satisfy guests' demands, but not everything depends on them.
So, not everything is possible to do, ok?
The second physical perk is access to the Club Level Lounge at luxury resorts. Don't you know what it is? Alright, we explain.
Club Level Lounge
The Club Level Lounge is a special area within Disney luxury hotels.
There, snacks and all kinds of food and drinks are served during the day.
In the morning, coffee starts serving at 6:30 am, but the continental breakfast is not served until 7 am.
The continental breakfast is complete, with all kinds of items: bread, warmed oat flakes, fruits, ham, salami, cheese, yogurt, boiled eggs and many other items.
Starting at 11:30 am, lunch begins to be served at the resorts' Club Level Lounge.
The options are many and vary by hotel.
In addition to food, desserts of all kinds are also served.
For example, I once found a bowl full of Skittles and gummy bears to gobble up in a Club Level Lounge. Imagine the happiness of the child!
A nice detail is that the Club Level Lounges have some fridges filled to the top with drinks.
There are soft drinks of all kinds (the most common are Sprite, Coke, Diet Coke and some local brands), water, juices, milk, chocolate milk, beers, wines… in short, a huge selection of drinks.
During the afternoon, the Lounges return to serving snacks (bread, ham, cheese, etc.) and at dinner time they have varied alternatives again.
In addition to these two physical perks, Club Level guests also receive nightly in-room housekeeping (with free chocolates), bathrobe, towels and various other freebies.
The Possibilities Advantages at Club Level
In addition to the physical advantages mentioned above, Disney Club Level guests gain some possibilities.
Namely, they can buy 3 more FastPass+ per day and use them in any park and 30 days in advance of scheduling. Additionally, they can watch the nightly fireworks shows of the Disney parks in preferred places, with the best views.
For that, however, it will be necessary to pay another $50 dollars (for each FastPass+ or night show).
It's worth using the service.
So, is it worth using Disney Club Level or not?
Everything is a question of how much you have financially at your disposal and can spend.
Some advantages like fastPass + scheduling with 90 days of service + 3 additional fastPass+ is already a good enough advantage to be considered something worthwhile. Within your budget of course!
If you are going to stay at the resort for a long time or you want to make use of those extra FastPass+, yes, it is worth using the Disney Club Level.
The price is a bit high (it depends on the hotel, but the minimum is around $353 dollars per room), but you'll also save money with meals at the Club Level Lounge (as long as you're willing to eat the options served there, right?).
Now, if you intend to save more, eat in the fast foods of the parks and stay away from the hotel for a long time, it is not worth opting for the Disney Club Level.
