My husband and I recently celebrated our 29thwedding anniversary with yet another Disney World Vacation! We stayed at the BoardWalk Inn, Garden Suites, which included the awesomeamenities of the Concierge Club Level. So, what is the Concierge Club Level?
First off, you will have access to the private Club Level Lounge which includes complimentary snacks, beverages, and light meals throughout the day. You will also have a dedicated conciergecast member available to help with dining reservations, park tickets and using the MyDisney Experience app. I also overhead the concierge cast member helping with special requests such as having flowers delivered to a suite. You will also have access to a Disney Minnie Van which they will book for you! This is an airport transfer in an adorable Minnie Van which is a service only available to Club Level Guests (fees apply).
Being a foodie, what I loved most was going to the Lounge and taking our breakfast back to our Garden Suite. I could not believe the incredible Nespresso coffee maker! Every type of coffee, espresso, flavorings, you name it… Breakfast foods included all types of pastries and there were tons. Eggs, yogurts, sausages, cereal fruit, juices(all meals included plant-based options).
11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Light Snacks and foods like crackers, pretzels, cookies and nuts, crudites. Even peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I would not necessarily say a real lunch but close. Wine,anyone?
5:00-7:00 Out came the hot appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, cheeses, beverages with wine and beer always complimentary. There really was enough variety and substance to call this dinner. Too bad we had dinner reservations, but we did manage to taste quite a few dishes, of course for research!!
Back from the parks early? 8:00 – 10:00, you will be amazed at the selections of desserts and cordials, all from the resort’s restaurants. Actually,you will not be amazed, after all it’s Disney!
You may be wondering what Disney resorts offer Club Level?
• Atrium Club, Disney’s Contemporary Resort
• Chronos Club, Disney’s Coronado Springs Gran Destino Tower (which is the only moderate resort to offer the Club Level)
• Innkeeper’s Club, Disney’s Boardwalk Inn
• Kilimanjaro Club, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
• King Kamehameha Club, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
• Old Faithful Club, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
• Regatta Club, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
• Royal Palm Club (Main Building), Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
• Stone Harbor Club, Disney’s Beach Club Resort
• Tower Club, Disney’s Contemporary Resort
The Concierge Club Level is a great option for those who appreciate a touch more luxury. Honeymoon, anniversary, birthday, babymoon? Or maybe you just want to treat yourself to a vacation experience that’s filled with attention to every detail. I envision the Club Level being especially useful if you don’t plan on park days for each day of your vacation. Laid back resort days, meals included, alcohol/no alcohol, conciergeservices, private airport transfer…. I could go on. Last thought, as we were sitting in the Lounge the last night of our vacation, my now devotedDisney husband says “I love the Club Level. I can only stay here from now on”. That’s how I knew he’s a keeper….
