They do this at Chronos Club as well. There are platters of food to serve yourself - not individual servings. Whatever meat they have, whether it be by itself or incorporated into another dish, is immediately gone while the vegetables sit there to cool.
It makes me appreciate the lounges that do the tiny individual servings. You can always get another, and the ratio of protein to veggie/starch is reasonable.
This was my experience too. CL at HRH was terrible. As in bad super-market quality offerings. I posted a review in the Universal Resort board. It was a last-minute trip during the very busy Columbus Day holiday, so I was happy to have found a room at all, (there were no other options), but it was painfully bad.
I'm not. Lately I prefer trips where we spend most of our time at the resorts and Disney Springs. When we do go to a park it's only for a few hours and it's really only because we have the APs. Discounts on rooms and dining don't justify having APs if we aren't in the parks a lot. Once upon a time, the discounts did actually cover the cost. Those days are over.
I don’t know if I will. I have until August to stew on it. (And to see if Disney steps up their availability of CL AP discounts.)
Agree. I have until end of May.
I’ll miss your stories if you don’t renew and keep booking the CLs!
I’m probably not, still debating, but I live on the other side of the country and was travelling to FL a lot to see my dad while he was still alive. My mom is in great shape and looking forward to visiting me. There is so much more flexibility with a regular parkhopper pass!!
Do you ever go to Disneyland?
I always love all your CL food pics.
I am going in June, meeting my DS and her daughter. I went once, like 10 years ago, but I didn’t love it. And I just did a night at DLH last fall (no parks). I grew up in FL going to WDW, so it has always seemed weird to me, so many people that aren’t staying there walking around and increasing crowding. I know most people stay off property there, but still, just not the same. I’ll give it a chance in June…
Interesting. I’ve never been. I’ve always heard that it’s a very different vibe from DW like how you mentioned. I’m sure you’ll have fun. You’ll have to give us your comparison.
I’m doing GCH CL. 3 nights - and ouch. I really want to experience GCH CL once. But I have been kinda looking for a GF TPV room for my April WDW trip, currently in a CR CL (atrium). Fireworks from my room is non-negotiable, but I may let go of CL if I can get the GF room!
We’ll be on a three hour time change and won’t be tired!
You do have to remember though, only the portion of a room discount that is higher than a general public discount actually can be attributed to an AP savings. It's tempting to do "Disney math" and count the entire thing
At that time of night it's pretty much just desserts in the club lounges which end at 10:00. If you think you'll need something other than sweets it's best to plan on a stop between the airport and WDW or do an advance grocery order so it's waiting for you at bell services.We’re doing our first CL stay in May at Board Walk Inn. Our flight lands at 8:10pm so im really hoping we’ll make it in time for some snacks before bed
