Should You Splurge on Disney Club Level? What You Need to Know Before You Book

If you’ve ever priced out a Deluxe Disney resort, you may have noticed a tempting upgrade option: Disney Club Level.

It sounds luxurious, private lounge, free food, concierge service, but is Disney Club Level really worth the splurge?

As a family travel planner (and mom of four!), I get this question all the time. Let’s break down exactly what Disney Club Level includes, how much extra it typically costs, and which resorts offer it, so you can decide if it’s the right fit for your Disney vacation.

What Is Disney Club Level?

Disney Club Level is a premium room category offered at select Disney resorts. When you book a Club Level room, your actual hotel room is usually very similar to a standard room, what you’re really paying for is exclusive access to a private Club Level lounge and extra services.

Think of Disney Club Level as adding a layer of convenience, comfort, and VIP-style perks to your stay.

What’s Included with Disney Club Level?

One of the biggest perks of Disney Club Level is the food and beverage offerings available throughout the day in the private lounge.

Most Disney Club Level lounges include:

• Continental breakfast (pastries, fruit, cereal, yogurt, etc.)
• Midday snacks & beverages
• Evening hors d’oeuvres (often can replace a light dinner)
• Desserts & cordials
• Beer, wine, and sometimes cocktails (included for adults 21+)
• Unlimited soft drinks, coffee, and bottled water
• Club Level concierge services to help with dining, experiences, and questions

For families, this can add up quickly in both convenience and savings — especially if you’re grabbing breakfast or evening snacks in the lounge instead of paying park prices.

How Much More Does Disney Club Level Cost?

This is where Disney Club Level can feel like a big splurge.

On average, you can expect Disney Club Level to cost:

• $200–$300 more per night at many Deluxe resorts
• $400–$500+ more per night at premium resorts like Grand Floridian, Contemporary, and Animal Kingdom Lodge
• $125–$200 more per night at Gran Destino Tower (the only Moderate resort with Club Level)

Here’s a general idea of typical Disney Club Level upcharges (before discounts):

• Grand Floridian: +$400–$500/night
• Contemporary Resort: +$400–$450/night
• Polynesian Village Resort: +$200–$300/night
• Beach Club Resort: +$200–$300/night
• Yacht Club Resort: +$200–$300/night
• BoardWalk Inn: +$200–$300/night
• Wilderness Lodge: +$200–$300/night
• Animal Kingdom Lodge: +$350–$450/night
• Coronado Springs (Gran Destino Tower): +$125–$200/night

Pricing varies by season, room view, and discounts, but this gives you a realistic range for budgeting.

When Is Disney Club Level Worth It?

Disney Club Level can be a great value if:

• You have a larger family who eats a lot
• You plan resort time (not just rope drop to park close)
• You enjoy evening snacks and drinks
• You want a more relaxed, upscale resort experience
• You value convenience and easy access to food & drinks

It’s often less worth it if:

• You’re in the parks all day
• You rarely eat breakfast at the hotel
• You prefer full table-service meals
• You’re on a tight budget

My Honest Take as a Family Travel Planner

For some families, Disney Club Level is absolutely worth the splurge. For others, that extra $200–$500 per night could be better spent on:

• A longer trip
• A better room view
• Special experiences (like character dining or dessert parties)
• Genie+ and Lightning Lane purchases

This is where personalized planning really matters and it’s exactly why I help my clients run the numbers and decide what truly fits their travel style.
