$100 per night more for club level at RPR worth it?

Have booked RPR for two nights at the start of August. Since found out that club level is available for those two nights - but is it worth it for $100 extra per night, plus tax, total $225 extra?

What difference would the extra $$$$ make?
Or am I better off just saving it for an extra Dooney and Bourke handbag!

I would say save your money and buy a hand bag! We have stayed in a club room a couple of times but don't think we will ever again. The rooms are identical to any normal room and although the snacks are nice we really did not spend that much time at the hotel to benefit from it.

For us we think it is worth it as there are 4 of us having breakfast, drinks, snacks etc. I don't think we'd bother if there were just 2 of us.

We love the club lounge, but it depends on how much you intend to use it. We only stayed one night but found it a welcome relaxation away from the parks... for breakfast whilst waiting for the teenage daughters to get ready and again in the evening whilst waiting for the teenage daughters to get ready We also had our breakfast in the lounge on the day we checked in. and went up for a coffee after the parks before we collected our car on check out day.

Stayed at the RPR twice now and was never really in the hotel room area long enough to do much except sleep, shower and change. So I would say no - I thought about Club for our next trip as we are staying there for 7 nights, but then realised that we would not make any use of it at all.

its a matter of opinion, we found it great, as we stayed there for x2 nights found plenty of times to hammer the parks with fotl and use the pool and use the club room to a maximum, if staying 1 night, deffo not worth it as you should be in the parks, bondy ps there were for of us 2ad 2kids.

Keep the money, you can have 2 nice meals out and buy breakfast at Citywalk or late morning in the park. It ties you to the resort to much especially if you are only there a couple of nights. the idea of club is to keep you at the resort as long as possible means more $$$ for them.
in all my stays have never done club level, i even had it comped for a 3 week stay we had, and never went to it once in 3 weeks. We prefer to be out trying different restaurants etc.

We are doing club level at RPR this summer 28 July-4th Aug. For us its worth it as there are 5 of us and also we're down at disney for 3 weeks after that on ddp so don't mind snacking and being tied to resort at rpr - can't wait!

Wouldn't do it any other way. there are 5 of us and we so make use of the lounge. Only place that we have found where kids will eat and eat at breakfast. Normally they would just have cereal but they have fruit, cereal , muffins, boiled eggs and bagels. Never ever seen them eat like they do at club lounge. We do like to go back and have a leisurely glass of wine or beer before heading out to eat. We use lounge on day we arrive . if room not ready we go to lounge have breakfast then head out. On lasy day we head up to lounge for a drink before getting in car.
Only staying one night this time so might not make as much use as we would normally,

I agree if it was 4 of you then I'd probably go for it but wouldn't bother if it was just the two of you.
