Do you want to know the secret to my heart? Tell me I’m about to stay in a Club Level room at Disney’s Beach Club Resort! We just enjoyed our second stay, and it was as amazing as ever.
The fun begins when you arrive, as you are escorted upstairs for your private checkin on the 5th floor. You’ll be offered a refreshment…I highly recommend the specialty cocktail, which is usually some sort of bellini. Of course, you can opt for a glass of sparkling wine, or a beer…just let them know what you prefer. After you are checked in, you’ll be given a tour of the Club Lounge.
The Club Lounge is open from 7am – 10pm daily, and it does close for about 1/2 hour in the late morning so they can clean.
In the morning, you’ll be treated to an amazing continental breakfast. I like to think of this as “Continental Breakfast PLUS” because on top of the usual offerings of cereal, pastries, bagels and toast….you’ll also be offered hot oatmeal or grits, a beautiful smoked salmon or meat platter, hard boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt, homemade granola…just to name a few. The coffee and tea selection is top-shelf, including a cappuccino maker.
Around 11:30am the snacks come out – with a selection of housemade chips and dip, veggies and hummus, yogurt covered dark cherries, candies, gummy bears, fruit.
In the early evening, the Club really comes alive with hot hour’derves! You could absolutely make a meal from these offerings. Also this is the only time during the day that there is a Club cast member available to pour wine and beer.
Speaking of which – I haven’t mentioned my favorite part – even though wine and beer is only served in the evening – you can request it at any time!! Just grab one of the cast members, there are always plenty of them keeping the Lounge in perfect condition. Just ask for that class of wine and they will bring it out to you!
And the day ends with my favorite – dessert! Lots of tasty little bites, including rice crispy treats, cookies, cakes, cupcakes…it’s a great selection! They also put a selection of Cordials and Liquors out with the coffee.
The other amazing benefit of being a Club Level guest is the personal concierge available to you. All day long, there are special cast members available in the lounge to assist with absolutely anything you need – private car service, dining reservations, fastpasses, special occasions and celebrations, park details…you name it, they can help!
I am often asked if the Club Level rooms are worth the extra cost. My answer is, that depends…if you are thinking you are going to eat and drink the value of the room…I highly doubt that is possible, unless you have 4 teenage boys in your room, and eat 3 meals a day in the lounge. I think the value of the Club Level rooms come in the form of the incredible service offered by the staff. If you need anything at all during your stay, you simply stop at the Concierge desk, or email/text a cast member, and they are on it. Having the flexibility to stop in for a glass of wine, or a snack, or ask about a dining reservation or help with fastpasses…they are just incredible!
