Insider Tips & Perks of Club Level

1. The Lounge is a Game Changer

The Club Level lounge is a lifesaver for families. Each morning, there’s a delicious breakfast spread available, including pastries, scrambled eggs, sausage, yogurt, fruit, cereal, and more. We often grab breakfast and brought it back to our room, allowing us to start the day slowly and comfortably—perfect for families with little ones who need a slower pace in the morning. Plus, the Nespresso machine in the lounge is a coffee lover’s dream.

2. Midday Snacks Keep Everyone Energized

Between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., the lounge provides a steady supply of snacks, including crackers, cookies, nuts, fresh crudités, and even PB&J sandwiches—perfect for little ones who need a quick snack to keep their energy up during a busy day. These are fantastic for a midday pick-me-up without needing to wait in long lines at quick-service dining locations.

Pro Tip: Pack some of these snacks for your day at the park. They fit easily into a bag and can be a lifesaver for keeping kids satisfied during long waits in line or while navigating between attractions.

3. Evening Appetizers are Perfect for a Relaxed Night

From 5 to 7 p.m., the lounge offers hot appetizers and hors d’oeuvres, along with wine and beer for adults. The variety is impressive and substantial enough to feel like a light dinner—ideal if you’re taking it easy or skipping the parks for the night. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening at the resort or preparing for a late-night show at the parks, this is a great option for a satisfying, no-hassle meal.

Pro Tip: Stay at Disney’s Yacht or Beach Club for an easy way to hop back to your resort and enjoy the snacks during your days at Epcot or Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

4. Sweet Treats and Cordials to End the Day

From 8 to 10 p.m., the lounge serves signature desserts and cordials from the resort restaurants. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a day full of excitement. Whether you’re craving something indulgent or a nightcap, these treats are a sweet end to a magical day at Disney.

Pro Tip: After a busy day at the parks, take some time to relax in the lounge. The quieter late-night hours are perfect for enjoying the dessert offerings and reflecting on your day.

5. Minnie Van Airport Transfers Add Extra Magic

One of the special perks of staying at Club Level is access to Minnie Van airport transfers (for a fee). These iconic, polka-dotted vehicles provide a fun and convenient way to get to and from the airport, adding a bit of Disney whimsy to your arrival and departure.

Pro Tip: If you’re traveling with young children or a large family, the Minnie Vans offer a comfortable, stress-free way to travel together. The added convenience makes your arrival and departure seamless, so you can focus on enjoying the magic.
