First time staying club levelWe will be staying at AKL, my absolute favorite resort! My question is, are we able to use the club level lounge the full day of check out? Magical Express will be picking us approximately 3:30 ish. I was just wondering if we can perhaps relax for an hour or so before the magical express arrives.

Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted. Was it near the lounge? I feel you on your club level comments. We stayed Sugarloaf coming up on two years ago. We were going to just do wilderness woods view, but Had to just bite the bullet and book club level. Even though our daughters want to stay desperately in a princess room mommy and daddys addiction takes precedence.lol
Thank you

.You're welcome
We've never stayed CL at AKL, but if you are considering GF CL in the main building (RPC), it is wonderful! The lounge is large and spacious with plenty of seating, the food offerings are great, the CL CMs are amazing, and it's very relaxing to sit in the lounge listening to the band play. I've also stayed SL and while I'm glad I was able to try it, I really don't have any desire to stay there again, but I would definitely return to RPC. If the extra cost is doable, I don't think you would be disappointed. Good luck with your decision
I copied it from there.
How do I know? They post their cancellations. 
Oh my that means the front page is too
PS resent e-mail adding the G in kingdom and it didn't bounce back yet....
PPS AKL IPO office already got back with me.... so it was the magic G
But we didn't know we were going 180 days ahead. I can't get anything we really want, I'm just grabbing whatever I can find. The IPO can't really do anything, they're just looking at the same availability we are... and a party of 6 might as well be a party of 20 in the Disney dining system. You're best bet is to just keep checking for parties of 2 and 4, try to get them as close together as you can, and pray the hostess will let you all sit together.
If you make such a request at 180 out, it's no problem. Otherwise, for a request for 6 during a busy week, you may have much better luck asking them to check what is available, then make your restaurant selection.
Can they check? Yes. It's my understanding they check once a day. Personally, if I was going that route I'd check myself multiple times a day.
I spend a decent amount of time checking the restaurant board. Frankly, I've been amazed at the number of folks who book multiple reservations on the same day. (And I'm talking more than 4....) Sometimes they are at the same restaurant, or within an hour of each other.
Here's the link to the Nov. Cancellation board. Check post #1 for details on how to use the thread if you haven't before. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3336585
Another good strategy is to use the phone app. It's easy to check frequently, and I'd recommend that. As your trip gets closer, especially at the two week and one week mark, people seem to firm up their plans. Popular restaurant reservations seem to spring up then, even for groups of 6 or 8.
Hope these tips help. I use the IPO for some things, but for hard to find restaurant reservations after 180+, I work on them myself. I see how fast they pop up and disappear. Chances aren't good that only once a day checking from the IPO will get me a hard to get reservation. They come and go quickly!
