Urgent: Yacht Club Club Level - What do you get?

We need informations about the Yacht Club because it is our deluxe resort of choice this year. We have stayed there for a week last year so we already know the YC in detail but we are thinking about staying at club level and want to know what does Disney mean when they say:

"Concierge service at the Regatta Club, located on the fifth floor, includes personalized Front Desk and Guest Services, pre-arrival Walt Disney World Resort Itinerary Planning, complimentary DVD rentals, turndown service and lounge with beverages, continental breakfast, midday snacks and evening wine, cheese, cordials and dessert."

Which beverages are included? How good is the continental breakfast? What kind of snacks are available and how good is the selection of wine and desserts etc. etc.? And how are the rooms?
We would also greatly appreciate any fotos of the club level rooms and Regatta Club that you shot during your stay.
Thank you very much!

I think the rooms are pretty much the same as the rest of the YC unless you get a suite. You are on the top floor which you have to insert your card into the slot in the elevator to access. Check-in during the day will be very quiet & posh with the concierge staff upstairs. During nighttime hours you still have to go to the front desk. Breakfast was danishes, muffins, cold cereal, oatmeal w/toppings, milk, juice, coffee, tea...pretty low-key continental type stuff. Daytime snacks were like chips-n-dip, cookies, and fresh fruit. Cold canned sodas were kept in the lounge fridge for you to help yourself to. Bottled water was not individual little bottles. They had large bottles of Evian that you could pour from. My oldest was very thirsty a few times and poured several glasses. The CMs were so sweet to him. They ended up giving him his own big bottle for the room if they saw him pouring multiple glasses. During the day beer isn't kept out but you can ask and they'll give you a few. Evening appetizers were great. My brother & Chandler really enjoyed the hot offerings. I don't remember specifics very well. Desserts looked great but my appetite wasn't so involved so I really don't know what all was there. Some cordials, liquors, & beer were available in the evenings. Between services the lounge doors were closed and limited items were nearby outside the doors for guests. Again, if you needed a beverage or something you didn't see you need only ask. The concierge staff were amazing! They made us feel like family returning home. They go above & beyond to make sure all the loose ends are taken care of. Any issues that come up they are there to handle....happily! For instance: my youngest son is a forgetful guy. They helped track a lost gift card and recover the unused balance from the original purchase receipt. When he forgot his pricy flip flops by the pool late one night. We asked the concierge staff where the resort lost & found was so we could look for them the next morning. They asked us what they looked like. And, guess what was in the room waiting for him later that day? Yep! His flip-flops! Also, on our last night our then 15 yro son decided he wanted to eat the Clam Bake at Cape May bad enough to break off & go solo. The concierge staff treated him like they would any gentleman and made his reservation for him. He felt so grown and special from the simple act of being treated so graciously. I thought that spoke volumes for the staff's consistency of excellent service and, as a mother, really appreciated that.

I'll grab links to the portions of my trip report that shows pics & info about the YC club level. If you are staying there and can swing it, the service there was a shining beacon on our stay at the resort.

Here's where we arrived and then moving forward to the pertinent stuff:

Towards the end of this one it strays into dinner so you can skip that part:

If you spend any time by the pool and order some drinks, look for this lady (the one in blue..LOL!). This is Rocky. She is da bomb! And tell her the redheaded couple with her crazy brother who thought the Yachtsman stunk send their love!

The club lounge can have pretty limited space at busier times. Here's my brother & my youngest in the only seats they found together:

Yeah, that looks like about all I can find. Again, can't recommend the club level service enough. For us it was a no-brainer. We planned to stay at the YC already post cruise. It was our anniversary so we were celebrating. We had a 40% off pin code so the price was as good as we'd ever be able to get. With 2 teenage sons we figured the food/drink offerings would be worthwhile to have especially if one of them happened to hit a growth spurt during our stay. That's when it seems they can't get enough to eat no matter how much they take in. LOL!
