Hi Angie!
Welcome back to planDisney! I recently enjoyed my very first Club Level stay, which happened to be at
Disney's Beach Club Resort, so I'm happy to share a little more with you about what you can expect. Spoiler alert: It's a truly wonderful experience!
First of all, let's talk about just how fabulous Beach Club is - with or without a Club Level stay. I can't say enough about the location of this resort. You are just a quick walk from the International Gateway entrance to EPCOT and a short boat ride from Disney's Hollywood Studios. Several other hotels and restaurants are located along the
Disney BoardWalk, including one of my favorite hidden gems,
Ale & Compass Restaurant at Disney's Yacht Club Resort. Looking for a character breakfast? You don't even have to leave your resort to dine with Minnie Mouse and friends at Minnie's Beach Bash Breakfast at
Cape May Cafe. You also have easy access to the Disney Skyliner, so if you want to grab a meal at
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera or
Sebastian's Bistro, it's easy to resort hop to these locations. Another popular feature here is
Stormalong Bay. Resembling more of a mini-water park rather than a hotel pool, you'll find water slides, a lazy river, and plenty of space for lounging in this massive and beautiful complex that is shared with the Yacht Club.
Angie, just by staying at a hotel in the Disney Resorts Collection, you can enjoy several
great benefits, including things like Early Theme Park Entry, complimentary resort transportation, and earlier access to making advanced dining reservations and pre-arrival selections for Lightning Lane passes. Guests staying in Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts can also access
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours available on select nights in select parks.
When you choose to stay
Club Level, you get all of this and much more! My favorite benefit was the exclusive access to The Stone Harbor Club - the Club Level lounge located on the same floor as your room. Throughout the day, you'll be able to find a variety of food and beverage options. I was really impressed with the selection of hot items as well as the more typical continental breakfast selections we were able to grab before hitting the parks. During the middle part of the day, I enjoyed some smaller snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. In the early evening, there was a wonderful selection of appetizers along with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, followed by an assortment of desserts later on in the evening. Besides the fabulous food, you'll also find first-class service. The Club Level Concierge couldn't have been more wonderful throughout my entire stay. Whether you have a quick question or need help with your dining reservations or park tickets, they are there to help!
Angie, I hope this information has been helpful! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!
Cheers,
Kristi
