Club Level

We have stayed AKL CL many times, only on points, I'd never pay cash prices, its worth it on points for sure. Especially for us beause we are local and go to the parks a lot, so when we go to AKL CL its just to relax. chill, and take advantage of the amenities( mostly the food and drinks lol) . I think if you aren't going to be in the parks open to close its defiinitely worth it. But if you are a go all day kinda parks person, and you're just at the resort to sleep. then its not worth it even on points.

Way back when before we bought DVC, we used to go to the Royal Palm Club at yhe Grand Floridian for a week at a time. All cash stays, then i did the research, and the math and we bought VGF. After two years we had made back what we were at the break even point. Now, for a treat, I’ll book a two day add on at the end of a stay just to get that pampered feeling again. Pro-tip — if you do it as a bounce back, you’ll get a discount over rack rates. So if you’re adding onto an existing DVC reservation you can call when you arrive and get the bounce back offer for the end of your stay.

On our first ever stay we had booked a 2bdrm at BLT as a cash stay. When we arrived we were told there was something wrong with the only available 2br, so they put us in a suite on the club level in the Contemporary. The club level amenities are nice, but i would never pay the cash prices to have them. My guess is id never opt to spend the points on it either, but i also do try to max out my points
