Personalized Concierge Services

Club Level guests receive access to a dedicated concierge team that can assist with questions that might come up during your stay. It’s wonderful to have someone you can speak to rather than having to chat a Cast Member through the My Disney Experience or Disneyland app or try to figure it out yourself.

The Concierge Team can assist with:

  • Check in
  • Park Information
  • Transportation Information
  • Ticket Sales
  • Dining Reservations
  • General trip planning questions
  • Minnie Van Pick Up from Orlando International Airport (Walt Disney World Only)

Exclusive Lounge Access

One of the most enticing benefits of Club Level is access to an exclusive lounge, where guests can enjoy complimentary refreshments throughout the day. Many families will skip getting a Dining Plan and put that money towards upgrading their room and take advantage of the food offerings in the lounge. There aren’t full meals available in Club Level lounges, but you can easily get a nice breakfast and some snacks each day!

Offerings typically include:

  • Continental breakfast
  • Afternoon snacks
  • Evening appetizers and desserts
  • Beer, wine, and select spirits (varies by resort)

Is Club Level Worth It?

Deciding whether Club Level is worth the additional cost depends on your travel preferences. If you value convenience, enjoy having a comfortable space to relax, and appreciate the extra service, Club Level can be a fantastic way to enhance your Disney vacation. However, if you plan to spend most of your time in the parks and won’t take advantage of the lounges or concierge services, the added expense may not be necessary.

We’ve found that Club Level is best for families that don’t opt to add the Dining Plan to their Vacation Package and who plan to stop at the Club for breakfast and/or a snack throughout the day. It’s also a great option for families who are used to taking advantage of Club Level offerings at other destinations that they travel to.
