What's your favorite Deluxe Resort to stay Club Level?

For those who have stayed Club Level among the Deluxe Resorts which is one is your favorite? Personally I have tried it at the Boardwalk Inn, Contemporary, Polynesian & Beach Club. Among those locations my favorite has to be the Boardwalk Inn for these reasons.

Their Cast Members are simply the best set of people we ever meet and a major reason why we enjoy staying there.

Watching Illuminations from the Innkeeper's Club lounge.

In my opinion their food offerings are amazing.

When staying in a Deluxe Club Level Room those come with a guaranteed view of the Boardwalk/Crescent Lake.

I have previously stayed there in August 2010, December 2010, August/September 2011 & December 2011. Plus as you can see by my signature I will once again be staying there this coming August, so I can't wait to get back.

I also wanted to add pictures of the Boardwalk Inn Innkeeper's Club Level lounge for those who are wondering what it looks like.

I agree with you that CL at BWI is amazing! The CMs there are probably the friendliest we have encountered. We have also stayed CL at WL, Poly and AKL. We enjoyed the food offerings at all of them, but BWI was definitely my favorite!

Probably my favorite experience in a CL lounge was watching Wishes from the Poly lounge with an adult beverage! You just can't beat the view from the Poly lounge.

I loved the overall feel of the lounge at AKL, and we really enjoyed the Sunrise Safari that is only offered to CL guests there.

We don't stay CL every trip, but it's a nice treat when we do.

I have only stayed at one Deluxe Club Lvl and it was Animal Kingdom Lodge. we splurged for this because it was our Honeymoon in Aug 2011.

We really got spoiled by it and will stay club lvl every time we stay at a deluxe.

The service was amazing and the food offerings were incredible.

we went there every morning before leaving for parks and when we came back for breaks and for the night we stopped at the club

We have stayed club level at GF, WL and BC, with an upcoming stay at AKL.

Of those, I liked WL the best. The food was phenomenal and the CMs were fantastic.

My favorite club level in any Disney park, though, was at the Grand Californian in DLR. The CMs there were so wonderful!

Edited to add: I love WL, but if you asked my DH, he'd probably say GF (main bldg).

Everyone's taste is different. BWI is my least favorite. Don't get me wrong - it is lovely and I would go back. The room was just a little on the small side when compared to the others that I've seen. I've been to GF (main), Poly, WL, AKL and BWI.

I think GF and AKL are my favorite. The GF was the first one that I visited and everyone was so friendly and accomodating. Plus, I love listening to the band in the evening. (I did the concierge safari at AK when staying there and it was fantastic - worth every penny.)

AKL is also a favorite. I love the open feeling and the food offerings - plus, you can't imagine how many Passporters that I have gotten to see there! The food is great and I love that they offer the 2 special safaris. We have not done the sunrise safari (but everyone raves about it). We did do the evening safari of the AKL - what an amazing evening.

Grand Floridian main building, there is nothing like walking out of your room to hear the band and then our view from our balcony was spectacular, we had a direct view overlooking the pool area, and the castle. We watched the fireworks everynight from our balcony - just amazing.

I have always wondered this. When staying in Royal Palm do you hear the band playing while inside your room or only when your inside the lounge?

I would say AKL with a savannah view. The view is awesome and the lounge area is great, even if it tends to be a hike to get from the lounge to your room. The food offereings stand out to me becaduse of the offereings from Boma and Jiko.

Concierge at WDW isn't my thing, as the experience isn't particularly exclusive (and there are too many kids), but I'd say Royal Palm Club (i.e. Main Building) at the GF and Tower Club at the CR are the best. The convenience and location are hard to beat in either case.
