What is “club level” at Disney World?

Very simply put, “Club Level” is a room categorization at some Disney hotels that comes with access to a exclusive perks, most importantly access to a lounge with food & beverage (including alcohol) options throughout the day.

While there are other privileges to staying Club Level at a Disney resort, like dedicated staff to help you, the option to pay extra for extra Fastpasses, etc...the main perk, in my opinion, is the food/drink lounge.

Up until the last several years, the only Disney resorts that offered Club Level were Deluxe level resorts.

Then the Tower at Coronado Springs Resort, a moderate resort, opened and everything changed.

The Tower offers Club Level rooms at a budget-friendly rate that include a gorgeous food/drink lounge, plus all the other benefits that come along with Club Level stays at Disney World. And the views of Epcot, Hollywood Studios, & Disney Springs are breathtaking!
