I've read several dozen pages on this thread and have a general idea of what CL benefits get you - but I still wonder.
We have reservations at the Swan CL for $199 teacher rate vs. $129 for a regular room. Here is what I see we get for $70 per night (three people):
Continental breakfast each day from 7-10.
Snacks from 5-7.
We'll take advantage of the breakfast each day, but with some advanced shopping we could accomplish the same thing. Maybe that saves us $25. Of course CL would be more convenient.
The evening is less likely to add much since we won't often be around for that time.
So am I missing anything? I haven't read anything about the rooms being any better on the CL floor. I suspect the view is better since it puts us on the 12th floor - but I would think we could get a good view without paying the $70 difference. Is the $10 resort fee waived? Can you take bottles of water or snacks out of the lounge to bring with to the parks?
It would be a no brainer if we got the upgrade for free, or even with SPG points (I'm working on that and have a question on the Starwood thread about that). But is it worth $70?
Thanks
