Hi Patricia!
I can honestly tell you that these two club levels have spoiled me for life! Both of these resorts are among my favorites - and the Wilderness Lodge wins for top resort anywhere!
A great perk of staying on the club level of a resort is the access to the private concierge access before you even arrive! Members of the Itinerary Planning Office will help arrange your Advance Dining Reservations, special tours, or other events you may be interested in during your stay. The resorts also offer special concierge staff at the resort to help with anything you may need as well.
Club levels at resorts offer food during the day. A continental type breakfast is served. Although the menu items may vary, this usually includes coffee, tea, juices, bagels, pastries, yogurt, and fruit. Snacks and drinks are served during the day. Evening brings cheese, crackers, and even a warm appetizer or two. Wine & beer are also served. An assortment of cordials and deserts follow! These foods are prepared at the resorts restaurants, so you will have different cuisine based on which resort you choose. Our family felt that the Animal Kingdom Lodge had a slight edge for us (try the zebra domes!).
However, I can't compare these two resorts without talking about location - and the Wilderness Lodge wins hands down for that! The proximity to the Magic Kingdom and the short boat ride from the Wilderness Lodge makes our vacation so magical!

Good luck deciding! Its a tough, but fun, decision to make!!
