For anyone who has stayed Club level at the DLH, did you think the additional cost was reasonable? I mean, I know all of us who choose to stay onsite agree to pay the already high prices but I can’t understand why Club is so much more. It would be an extra $300 per day for our March trip.
Full disclosure I am asking because my wife wants to upgrade but after watching a few YouTube reviews and seeing offerings like Uncrustables and cereal I don’t get it.
So, we stayed club level in July. It was my sister's first time staying at DLH, we were celebrating our son's 18th birthday, his high school graduation, and DH and my 24th anniversary. (The timing worked out amazingly, we were able to be at DL for DS's actual birthday on the 9th and our actual anniversary on the 10th!)
We were in a 2 bedroom suite and the cost to add on club level was $250/night. We went for breakfast almost every day, never went for the evening hot appetizers, but we did go there in the evenings at least 3 times during our 6 night stay.
So, was it worth it?
As others have posted, breakfast was super repetitive although the first morning we went I asked for a bowl of blueberries for our son instead of taking all of the ones that were on the buffet and the CMs had no issue with bringing this. Mimosas were lovely in the morning but the sparkling wine they use is of middling quality. Just typing that out makes me sound super snobby!
It was really nice to be able to get coffees to take to the parks although I wish they had bottled water there to grab. DH and I stayed club level on our honeymoon waaaaaaay back in 1999 and I remember them having bottles of water back then.
For us, the biggest perk was being able to watch the fireworks from the club lounge. I think we saw then 3 or 4 times from the hotel and while it is not the same experience as seeing in the parks, being able to watch them from a seat with a glass of wine was amazing!
My sister and I are going to stay at VGC in April and we discussed club level but in the end we decided that unless there are the 4 of us (me, DH, DS, sis) then we really could not justify the added cost.
