One thing lacking in this video and analysis as to whether it's worth staying there is the cost. Yes you could eat all your meals there...but the reason the lounge is empty is because all the people paying the outrageous cost of those rooms also like to and can afford to eat at Narcoosee's, Citricos, California Grill..etc. So paying an extra $3-500 a night for a club room seems like a waste unless you do so with the intention of eating every meal there....because personally I'd rather drop $300 on a dinner every night in a deluxe restaurant on property...and just stay in regular room. I think a lot of people book this level as a status flex...and don't even maximize the value of what they are paying for. Edit..I just went to Disney website to look at booking a room for my wife and I on our Anniversary(we live 20 min from MK)...which to be fair is 3 days before Christmas...Least expensive club level at Grand Flo is $2000 a night while a regular room with same view is $1000. In no universe is this worth the cost unless you're fine with lighting money on fire.🔥

[@alisachamoy225]

Very good point. We did club level at a universal hotel (i was using points so I could afford it lol) and it was a very good value because I saved a lot of money on buying meal options for my son in the parks (which is exorbitantly expensive - and I don't need to spend *40 on a meal so my son can just get mac n cheese lol). I could never afford club level at the grand floridian but if I did, I might never leave the hotel to go to the parks!!! lol.

[@yvettechristensen8315]

Club level at the Floridian and you get excited about hot dogs and tots, hysterical.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Hot dogs make me very excited! 😂

[@cindymitcheltree7961]

That was fun! Thanks for taking us along. WOW, what a great experience! Thanks, Kristin!

16:05 - Negative 1000 points for excessive use of “glizzy”.

[@nicolebenis9546]

LOVEEEE watching your videos. You are our fav Disney vlogger because we are from Jersey too and you get good food! The discussion of Italian hot dogs was spot on!🤌🏻 Love how you are always so honest with your reviews and don't sugar coat it! Love from your home state

[@wandtvdougwolfe1]

Love, love this review. Very nice.

[@brodieellis2545]

I’ve been so excited for this vlog!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Yay!

[@thezachman]

“We got our glizz, got our champagne” 👸🏻🌭✨ 🥂 spoken like a true queen

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

That is the Grand Floridian way

[@aoifelawless595]

Love your vlogs! ❤❤❤

[@mariosonisiforou]

Thank you Kristen for sharing 😊

[@MagicFanatic]

Wow! A nice way to treat yourselves. ❤

[@May-iw3tf]

First time watching. Although, I have been watching you with Nate. You have such a soothing voice.

[@parkerwalker5128]

Definitely on my bucket list!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Bucket list stay for sure!

[@ilsehunt6798]

I’d be getting dressed up every visit to the lounge , hair make up and enjoy all the offerings as well ! I’d really ,see the most of it ! I love getting dressed up lol

[@alikatt]

I agree with you on the Mickey bar Kristen. If they advertise it, it should exist! I'd run for a mint chip Mickey bar/ sandwich but the original not so much.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

The fact that a food they don't serve in the parks is plastered all over merchandise is wild to me 😂😂😂

[@melk8220]

Wow that club level food is amazing. Well I can't even afford a regular room at Disney so will never be able to do this so thanks for sharing

[@giabarletta5929]

Girrrrl, yesss I know all about the Italian hot dogs!!! My family is Italian and we’re from NY so we call them “Jersey Dogs” lol! Our relatives from NJ introduced us to them and now we make them on every major bbq holiday! 🙌🏻

[@BTripp715]

I was watching the video and, towards the end, saw a white-haired cast member in the background of your shot. Holy smokes, it’s Irv, who is an absolute LEGEND when it comes to CL CM’s. I hope you got to meet him! What a gentleman and total gem of a human being. Irv would’ve refilled your champagne for sure!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Irv is the GOAT! He was so great! Loved chatting with him

[@staciewing2827]

You rock! I'm all about my champers 🥂🥂, so if it's not flowing freely, this may be a pass! But the food looked incredible!

[@SharonMorgan-gb9qe]

I could never afford to stay there, value resorts for my family. 😅

[@melk8220]

Me too and that is like every 3 years

[@mothermoon3873]

I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I just love your reviews ❤

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Thanks so much!

[@randy8651]

WOW that room is awesome. I figured that they would have Mickey waffles for breakfast. The lunch snacks are a sweet tooth heaven. It just kept getting better and better. Makes me want to blow the budget and break the bank to do a club level stay. I would eat about 10 mini hot dogs. That’s a cheat day 2 dogs 1 bread for keto. Thanks for a wonderful video and the transparency of your videos -Randy

[@vickycroft4621]

DVC. I plan to stay Club Level when I can get it. Not that easy. 🏰 Love 1900 Park Fare when Mary Poppins was there!

[@CurlyQ227_]

Great video!!!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Thanks Tamila!

[@brittanydiaz5465]

I love the strawberry soup. I ate so much one time at 1900, our waitress brought me the recipe. I have made it at home and it’s just as good.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

That's awesome! I was told that the strawberry soup at the club lounge is a little bit different than the one at 1900 Park Fare

[@UpAndAtEmAddie]

The room is very nice.

[@jay_roberts]

Paying more than $500 to eat hot dogs and bad cannolis...

[@jimmycoleman2711]

That was a fish sandwich lol! Usually a nice thin crispy batter.. Thanks for the restaurant tip.

[@Emilya-A]

Oh cool, they have COPPOLA wine. I saw an ad on youtube recently. once upon a time, i used an empty cardboard case of COPPOLA wine to hold stuff from Goodwill outlet

[@AngieMagz]

😂😂triple glizzy for the win! You could definitely put three dogs in all that bread

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I regret not trying the triple glizz

[@DartagnanTwain]

Much appreciated overview! Always lookin' for documentation of the different club lounges and their offerings. Next time you're out on the West Coast, hope you'll have a chance to check out how the Clubs operate at the 'Land hotels. Might be a regional thing, but I don't think I've seen chips & salsa as a staple in the WDW Club videos whereas the Disneyland hotel lounges all feature 'em daily for lunch n' such.

[@colleen1583]

We got upgraded to club level at Wilderness lodge about 10 years ago. It was amazing!

[@user-ll6jo1cw6l]

Kristin it seems like the Club Level food and drink offerings have scaled back quite a bit since my husband and I used to stay there on our past visits. It has been a number of years though. The breakfasts had more offerings. The lunches were massive! Used to have all of the different cold sandwich offerings which included cold meats, cheeses, tomatoes etc. There was a mid-afternoon snack offering which included scones and clotted cream to die for! And liquors and wines were out all day and evening to serve yourself as well as nighttime snacks after coming back from the parks. Bottled waters to take to the park as well. I assume that people probably went overboard. But it is nice to treat yourselves once and a while. Enjoyed your video.

[@babyjo9111]

sweet

[@thezachman]

Club level at grand Floridian? This is gonna be good!! ❤️❤️🔥😋😂😂🤩🤩🙏🏻🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻‍♂️💁🏼‍♂️✨✨✨

[@alicepinder5671]

Back in the day, before COVID they used to bring out a sweet afternoon tea which comprised of scones with jam and cream, jam tarts and a different trifle each day. I only know this by watching old UTube videos. One day I hope to stay there! Thank you for the excellent video x

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

They did this at the club level at the Grand?! I know they used to have an afternoon tea experience, but didn't know they did it in the club lounge too!

[@pixiedustuk4873]

Yes, they did it right up until we were hit with Covid. When they re-opened Club level it was with scaled back offerings unfortunately. The Afternoon Tea served in Club used to be a real highlight with fresh warm scones, a selection of jams and cream and a trifle very day. It was the only Club lounge to have 5 presentations. Also at breakfast they used to have someone on the Club floor make fresh pancakes and waffles which were absolutely delicious. I sure miss how it used to be! Thanks for your video - it was useful to see the detail of what the Club is like now - we are staying in November this year, so can't wait! (even though its changed I'm sure it will still be great!) 😊@@wrightdownmainstreet

[@aimee8334]

Agree about Coronado. We’ve done Animal Kingdom Lodge, Beach Club, and Coronado, and Coronado was the best by far, and the least expensive.

[@ashlynmom]

I wouldn't lead with "plant-based sausage," LOL!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I learned my lesson 😅

[@Marylynnsauro]

Haven’t stayed club level at the GF in years. Looks like they have upped the choices for breakfast but the champs should be flowing for the price of club level and the lunch offering should have some sandwiches at the very least. Love Italian hot dogs!

[@josiemaida]

LOVE IT!! My girl deserves the best ALWAYS!!!! 😤

[@BloodKiddie]

Contemporary Tower Club Best service. Best food. Best view

[@thezachman]

I would have died if they had mint mickey ice cream sandwiches 😅

[@alikatt]

Same!

[@Emilya-A]

I would like a cereal dispenser (inspired by the breakfast spread at the Grand Floridian) while I watch the Full House episodes when they go to Disney World. Also, I have recently noticed the slang use of the word "slaps" on social media

[@jkhegarty857]

Kristin, thank you for the food tour!! Everything looks scrump-dil-ious!! ❤ 😋 you always make me hungry. Thank God I'm eating lunch while watching.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@disneyonthespectrum]

Wowzers on the snacks! I hope you brought your ziplock bags. lol

Chase that with some bacon!!😂

One day I can stay there 😅

[@brodieellis2545]

Staying at Coronado club level starting June 24 and I can’t wait!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Enjoy! You're going to LOVE it. Hopefully Kellie is working when you're there- she is the best!

[@Miche353]

Yes, shout out to Kellie! She is amazing!!!!!

[@matthew6642]

Honestly you can buy all that food at the local Costco … For the price I would just expect more

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

👀👀👀

[@melaniegarcia324]

Hey Kristen! Fellow Jersey girl here. You've gotta try Dickie Dee's in Newark next time you're up here. They are the OG. Jimmy Buff's is great but Dickie Dee's is the GOAT. Don't be scared of Newark either lol I promise I'm not sending you to a rough neighborhood.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Oh wow! I'll add it to my list. My grandma is a Jimmy Buff's fan

[@tiarasandtomorrowland]

My husband and I were married at The Wedding Pavilion and we stayed club level. It was amazing and I had a different experience with the service than you did, they were all over us all the time asking if we needed anything. This was in 2011 so it seems things have gone downhill and that's sad. For the price point, they really need to be more attentive!

[@susanacres5177]

We were married there in October 2022, and stayed royal palm club. We had beyond excellent service. I wonder if it was just a off day.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

That has been my experience at Coronado. I did stay for a total of 3 nights & unfortunately the service never improved.

[@susanacres5177]

@@wrightdownmainstreet that is so disappointing . We are currently planning a trip back to the grand. We had a similar experience at yacht club last stay, and we were going back to the grand. Now maybe we will switch.

[@lisar4113]

We've stayed Club level at Boardwalk and Coronado and by far Coronado is our favorite, especially for service. The layout at the GF Lounge is disjointed but what a view! But, you should not have been lacking for alcohol if you wanted it. In my opinion that is one thing that makes Club level worth the value.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

For sure, if you don't drink there is no way it is worth stay club level. Boardwalk is one of the few I haven't stayed at. Hoping to do that soon!

[@kdash7]

We have stayed club level in the Sugarloaf building at the Grand Floridian twice & we did not have candy or water on tap! There’s way more offerings in the main building apparently!

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

They no longer have a club lounge in Sugarloaf! It is all in the main building now.

[@EGGY0420]

I’ll drive the 5 hours to go to Jimmy Buffs. Joe Joe’s back in the day in Iselin had good Italian hot dogs. But Jimmy Buffsis the originals

[@jeremyw9213]

The views looked amazing. Do you have any other videos of club level? If you had to pick all around value, service, and food selection what club level would you recommend? Thanks for taking us along.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I have videos of Wilderness Lodge & Coronado on my page! Coronado no doubt is #1. It is the cheapest out of all the clubs so the value is fantastic, the service is the best service potentially at all of Disney World, the food is solid but nothing to write home about. But when you factor all of those together, it still comes out on top in my opinion. Out of the ones I've stayed at (Animal Kingdom Lodge, Contemporary, Grand, Coronado, Wilderness Lodge, Poly)

[@jeremyw9213]

@@wrightdownmainstreet Thanks. We'll have to look for the Coronado one. I think we saw the wilderness, but have to check it out also.

[@bitwhiskers6969]

I'm not understanding. What is worth that extra $1000 per night premium for club level. It can't be that mediocre food. Especially bags of chips you can get at Walmart and bring with you.

[@christopherw.9841]

Of all resorts The Grand Flordian should have the best service in the lounge. Too bad about the champagne refill

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Yeah, I kind of expected it to be a bit better given its one of the fanciest resorts

[@HH-fu1pe]

cost of this room?

[@HuntyTravels]

Breads and Spreads!!!! Let’s gooooooo🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@valerie8401]

How much did this cost?

[@ArthurSilva-hj2eh]

Hey Kristin have done club level at the Contemporary and Poly. While enjoyed both didn’t feel it was worth hanging out there for more than short time. Quality not good enough for more than a mere stop in

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I feel like club level stays really benefits locals who don't feel the need to go to the parks or people who plan to spend the whole day at the resorts. As a local, I absolutely love having a chill resort day with unlimited food & drink. It's like an all inclusive vacation 10 minutes down the road.

[@shawn3405]

I love it out there but how do you go back home after living like that?

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

It is very difficult 😂

[@ryanxgore]

Those are Cincy Coney sized glizzies

[@JacquelineSimone1021]

Omg thank you for this video. I booked my husband and I for 10/29-10/31 for our anniversary before my daughter’s wedding on 11/2. I’m going to upgrade to club!!

[@alisachamoy225]

I thought the food options looked fantastic! Club level at the Grand Floridian is VERY expensive - I was still wondering what type of value you thought you got from this, given how expensive it is, especially for a family traveling with kids, compared to staying somewhere else (like at Coronado (as you mentioned) (but which is further away from the parks themselves and you can only get there by bus)) or just staying as a regular guest.

[@amberland1229]

How much was the suite per night?

[@TheMagicInWonderland]

How much a night? 😅…. I’ve done club level at AKL but it was with dvc points. I think it’s the only one I can get with points.

[@disneybob612]

Kristen, I remember how you said that club level at Coronado Springs was far and above everything else at club level but I’m curious if Coronado had the same items available to you as at the grand Floridian? My apologies if someone already asked this and you’ve already answered it.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

The food was a tad fancier at Grand Flo but all of the offerings are generally the same. I do have a review of Coronado club up on my page if you want to check it out!

[@greggregg4852]

2nd. one. here... 🙂

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

Hello!

[@susanobrien6475]

Wow, thanks for the awesome detail. I would love to stay there in the two bedroom. There are a couple categories of the two bedroom club. Was your room in main building 2 bedroom club level, the two bedroom club level access in the outer buildings, or the two bedroom club level access theme park view outer building. That last category only has two suites and are on the ground floor but if you remember which building you were in, I would to book the proper two bedroom category and request that building. I appreciate you.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

We had a 2 bedroom suite with club level access & a theme park view on the second floor of the Conch Key building

[@susanobrien6475]

Thank you for your very quick response. I love your genuine and honest reviews.

[@jeffreycharles5035]

Did they have any hard seltzer options in the club lounge?

[@Miche353]

They did at Coronado, but she said none at GF

[@ginalola6354]

How did you a room so early in the morning? Check in is at 4 pm?

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

You can check in earlier and if they have a room available they will be able to let you in earlier! Our room was ready around 11 am so we got lucky

[@katieschatz3011]

I’ve never heard of a hotdog referred to as a glizzy before.

Service at their main bar off the lobby on the second floor is poor at best. No accountability, no follow through etc. the bar is significantly understaffed as well. The waiters assistant could care less and shows an attitude when asked for follow through on a simple ask for water! REALLY?! While we enjoyed a three night stay at the Grand Floridian we won’t be back.

[@wrightdownmainstreet]

I've never had this experience at Enchanted Rose. In fact I think it's one of the best bars on property. Amazing unique cocktails, great food & friendly service for me in my visits.
