Concierge Level @ the Contemporary

We're staying there a few nights during our honeymoon in May after our Disney Cruise. I didn't need them to book my dining since I prefer to do that on my own the second I can. Besides that is it worth me spending a little extra for the few days? Is the food disappointing, or is it better than going with quick service if it's not my Be Our Guest or dinner show reservations? I'm not changing it and what's done is done, I'm just wondering.

I've stayed Club Level at Poly and Wilderness. Probably won't do it again (those were both discounted). Poly was only worth it because we were in Hawaii (building) and faced the Magic Kingdom...so the view was incredible. Otherwise, no, the extra money is not worth it for the snacks, IMO.

We haves stayed club at BC, BW, Contemp, and AKL (3 times) and enjoyed each time. Is it worth it? No but it's nice. If we have the extra $$ saved we do it. If we don't we don't. That simple. I will say the staff at contemporary was fantastic.

It is always worth it to spoil yourself when you can. Its your honeymoon. I have never stayed in club level at the Contemporary, but have stay in club level at the GF, Poly, and Beach Club. The food offerings are generally more appetizers and finger foods then meals. Many nice perks though including wine and beer throughout the day. They don't have them out at all service times, however if you ask they will provide you with wine and beer. You will enjoy it! Congratulations on your honeymoon!!!!!

It's not concierge, it's Club Level. If you don't know the difference, it won't matter. If you do, there is your heads up.

Some people will happily pay Disney for it, some won't. I won't. Totally not worth it, IMO.

We have stayed club level at the Contemporary, but only because we got a free upgrade at check-in. It was nice, but I wouldn't pay extra for it unless it was a special occasion. Honeymoon definitely qualifies!

I loved the club level at the Contemporary. Staff was really nice, friendly, and helpful. I loved the view from the lounge, free soda's all day long, continental breakfast, and plenty of privacy! HB & I went for an anniversary trip, and we felt the extra was worth it.

We pretty much did it for the view of MK and to be able to watch Wish alone from our balcony...I had proposed during it so it was worth the little extra if not for the guaranteed sweet view of MK...

They don't have them out at all service times, however if you ask they will provide you with wine and beer. You will enjoy it! Congratulations on your honeymoon!!!!!
That's good to know about wine, I'm sure I will be asking for plenty...

Thanks everyone!

Can someone explain what it is you get by booking this?

Club level comes with exclusive access to the floor, you have to have your room key to access the floor. This allows for (IMHO) quieter, less traffic, and privacy. Also, you have access to the club lounge with a view and continental breakfast, snacks and sodas throughout the day, appetizers & wine before dinner, and desserts during the evening all free of charge. Other little perks as well; turn down service, & "concierge" staff that will assist with your planning (they got us an ADR that we were told was unavailable). Not an expense we can do every trip, but it was worth the expense (IMO)

Continental breakfast offerings.
Generic snacks mid-day.
Appetizers, light food (e.g. Mac n cheese) at dinner...which you'll miss if you are in the parks, like me.
Wine and beer in the evenings.

Turn-down (they turn a bed down and leave a little mint or something on the pillow, with a card. Sometimes it is themed, like getting taffy at BWI instead of a mint. At BC, you get the little Andes chocolate mint. Well, you used to. Haven't done it in years, so there may have been changes.). Most hotels who do turn-down will leave the radio quietly playing. Disney doesn't.

Supposedly an easier check-in, but that was not always my experience.

You can call them with your ADR requests instead of calling Disney dining...but they won't get you anything disney dining won't, so the purpose of this was always lost on me.

If you pass their desk and they're sitting at it, they'll tell you to have a good day or ask how your day went.

Some of them stock Times Guides for all four parks (which they ALL should.)

Package delivery to your room. This is the best part, IMO.

And all the coke products you can drink. :)

You also have the inconvenience of having to use your key in the elevator or door to the building.

The rooms are identical to the other resort rooms. They are not even cleaner. And sometimes the club level staff leaves a lot to be desired. The girl working club level at the Beach Club is the only Disney employee I ever heard using the F word. The Contemporary guy was extremely rude to a guest who did nothing to deserve it.

I'm not a huge fan, in case you didn't notice, lol. I gave up on Disney's Club Level quite a while back.
