Does Gran Destino Tower Club Level access offer Club Level Fastpass+?

I stayed CL at CR over the summer and opted to not purchase CLFP+ but I'm considering a stay at Gran Destino and wonder if their Club Level access offers the opportunity to purchase CLFP+.

Since all CL rooms, plus the DVC bungalows @ the Poly, Cabins @ CCV and more recently any DVC Grand Villas, allow this perk, then if the Gran Destino rooms are true Club Level rooms then they will qualify.

However if they are like the WL, where you can pay for CL access at check-in, then they will probably not qualify.

Looking at the website under “room amenities” those rooms do offer access to Disney Signature Services when you book, so I think they will qualify. I would phone DSS and ask them directly:

Access to Disney Signature Services—for personal assistance with your vacation. Call: 407-939-777

Did not know this was even a thing. An extra $200 for a family of 4 to ride 3 rides...sounds like a great deal.

It's a minimum of 3 days so minimum of $150 per person.
I pay for myself and we would do 3 days so it's an extra $150 for my budget.
The tiers and park restrictions also do not apply.
I personally feel like it can be worth it for AK, HS, and EPCOT. MK does not have tiers so it's not as difficult to get all the FP I want. I also park hop. Of I stayed in one park all day I could get more FP for that park but I enjoy half days at each park.
Of you do not feel it's a good deal for you then do not do it.

I actually would say if it's one person or a couple go for it I understand, and don't begrudge you, but for a family it kinda sucks at 200 per day, but then again time is money.

Also you do not have to do it for all days, so any 3 days that you are staying CL (including check-in and check-out days). Plus you don’t have to do it for everyone on the reservation.

Signature Services book the CL Fastpasses at 90 days from check-out day and will also book your regular FPs for those days too at that point. But you cannot modify the CL ones at all, they or concierge must do it for you (I don’t think even GS can do it); and you cannot duplicate between CL and regular FPs, nor overlap times. You can modify the regular ones from 60 days out, and get extra same-day FPs even with the CL ones still to be used.

It would be good for park hopping on short trips. Maybe get FoP, Everest and Safari on regular FPs and then Slinky, ToT and RnR in the evening. And hope to pick up FPs for Kali, Dinosaur, Star Tours on the day.

Not for most people perhaps but probably cheaper than booking a private VIP tour especially if maybe just Mom and eldest DS want to do it, leaving Dad, Grandparents and littler kids to do the normal kind of day.

My thought is if you are staying club level with a family of 4 then your budget probably already allows for it.
Since I am paying for only myself and split the hotel cost with equally with.my sister it does not effect me as much as it would a family of 4 with shared income.

I guess you have never had to budget for a family of 4 lol.

Yes my sister and I have gotten into the habit of short p arl hopping trips. If we had longer trips it wouldnt really even matter and we likely wouldnt do it but to get as much as we can get done in 3 park days it's more worth while especially if we are already planning on staying club level.
Usually we do cheap quick and dirty trips and stay at values where this is not an option.

I grew up in a family of 5 and we went to WDW yearly but that was the only trip we did each year. We stayed offsite and as cheap as possible.
As an adult who is single and has no kids this is what I choose to spend my money on.
We all have different priorities.

How far offshore?

I don't believe I said you didn't have the right to choose how your money, like I said not a bad way to go if your only paying for one person, and for sure make sense if you are traveling with a limited amount of time like Nicky said. I might even give it a shot one of these years, but to presume because a family stays at a club level they have vast amounts of money to throw at anything is humorous. Considering I have stayed at club at various hotels throughout the world, both with family and not, often to take advantage of free breakfast, cocktail hours and the like....

In Davenport. LOL I'm gonna go change my wording. Dang that Auto correct.

Sorry changed it but it will live forever in your post lol.
It reminded me of Enchanted Tiki Room when they say "glad to see you all aboard or ashore."
