Hello everyone! Today we are continuing on in the Walt Disney World Resort Series with The Deluxe Resorts! I will be splitting the deluxe resorts and the villas into two post each, because there are more resorts at this level than any other! Today I’ll be focusing on four different Deluxe Resorts, and I’ll be sharing the different rooms available, and food options at each resort! All prices are as of July 28th, 2018. Okay, let’s get started!
Something special that is available at the Deluxe Resorts!
CLUB LEVEL. This is a special type of room and service only available at deluxe resorts. Club level is much more expensive, and is a seperate section at the resort. When staying Club Level, you have your own check-in, and concierge, as well as a special eating ares where food is available all day, and is included in the stay. Views are generally amazing from the lounge as well! I’d love to stay Club Level someday, but for now the price would not be worth it, especially because we are generally at the parks for most of the day.
