Hi ! I think i was one of your servers when you were at the snack time ! I’m certainly the one who get you the bottle of water ! I Hope we will meet again at the hotel restaurant , the Hunter’s Grill !
We are staying Golden Forest in May so I feel soooo lucky you did this video before we go! We have two young kids and we plan to go back to hotel for breakfast and snacks. They eat lots of fruit and it seems hard to find fruit at the parks so I am happy to see a decent fruit selection. As for me that trout sandwich looks perfect! 😋 Thank you so much Sam! ❤
Great to see an up to date, detailed vlog about Golden Forest, we stayed at Sequoia last month at it's a great hotel, been looking at the Golden Forest as the lounge alone would make me go for it as it is super busy in main breakfast and that looks way more chill! I didn't know about the luggage that's a great perk as we stood for a while dropping off luggage when we arrived. Its all the little added extras that would make a difference 😊
Hi Sam, We stayed already 2 times in golden forest club (March 2022 and January 2024) and it 's great! So relaxing in the morning especially when you are with kids. Staff is super friendly Sam, you give such good, detailed information. You are great! I love your videos. Can't wait for the next one. My daughter and i also love the Mickey marble Cake. So yummy!!! Greetings from Belgium x
Thanks for this video! I was undecided between Newport bay normal room or golden forest and I booked golden forest based on your video! Looking forward to our stay in March ✨
Thank you for such a detailed vlog, we're staying at the Sequoia lodge and upgraded to the golden forest club for my 40th birthday trip in December. This was so helpful 😊
Back in the day, (i think it was 10 years ago) the golden forest lounge was a character breakfast with Minnie, Eeyore and Mickey. Ive got some amazing memories of staying there! And the golden forest club including charcter breakfast made th3 extra money for club level worth it.
Happy birthday Zoe :) thank you for the great video, Sam! I went to DLP in february with my best friend and my sister, and I want to go back so bad 🥲 hopefully I will be going in halloween 2025 ❤
We are just starting our disney planning it’s quite overwhelming! Your videos are so helpful. Are the drinks available all day long from the lounge? That would be a big benefit for us as a family.
They serve breakfast until 11am and reopen the lounge at 12 until 10 pm. So you will have drinks available almost all day long. Just note that they changed the system a bit. They don't give you bottles/cans to take to the parks. They only have these paper coffee to go cup, which I think are difficult to handle outside the lounge. But maybe you can bring your own bottle and refill it from the to-go cup?
We stayed golden forest in December and then tried to add it for our March trip but it was sold out. We were gutted cos it was so perfect for us and we only paid about £250 extra for 4 people for 4 days. Well worth the £££!
Great video on what club level gets you, you mentioned you can't access the lounge on check out day. Does that that mean for breakfast you have to go elsewhere on the last day or is that just for the snack period after breakfast?
I love how peaceful breakfast looks here! I was in Sequoia Lodge in the beginning of november, in a regular room. And while I really enjoyed the breakfast, my goodness was it hectic. Also, why do they have to play loud music as well? I seriously might book Golden Forest next time, it looks amazing. Thanks for filming this video! :)
Thanks Sam for such a great review of the Golden Forest Club at Sequoia Lodge. I adore the hotel but have never actually stayed in this level. I love the personal touch of a special check in area and all the perks & extras on offer ( especially the tea-time snacks 🤩) . Awww, Happy birthday Zoe🥳 and hi to Billy . Great room with a fab lakeside view , nice breakfast. Aww, I was waiting for you to mention 'your Dad' to Max 😍😛 I knew you would!!!! x
Not sure if this would be for us, I wouldn't see us coming back for afternoon snacks, but the breakfast looks sooo relaxing! I also heard you mention something about breakfast slots? We'll be staying at the Cheyenne in June and we have half board, we can't just go have breakfast at whatever time? Thanks for all your videos!!
You used to be given a little time slot at checkin, but tbh it’s been ages since I’ve had breakfast at the hotels so I don’t know for sure now 🙈 It could have changed - hope you have an amazing time! X
Stayed there in March. Liked it very much. We weren't allowed in on our check in day. We checked in at 7am. The best thing in the lounge was the fresh squeezed orange juice machine. Would love to return. 😊
Happy birthday to the little girl, Zoe 🎉 thanks Sam , is breakfast included in all club rooms? I know you said that it is, just checking 😅 always good to know 😊
Hey Sam thanks for your video. Sequoia logé forest club is our favourite hotel we always stay there the breakfast is amazing and the buffet dinner we love also very much. And for the orange juice there is a machine next from the coffee I think. Enjoy you stay there sweetie ❤
We have been lucky to stay in a Golden Forest room a few times. As with the club level at the Newport, the cast members are more than happy to give you free drinks to take into the park for the day. We filled up with sparkling water and juice in the morning and did the same after chilling back at the hotel in the afternoon before heading back out to the park.
Little Late but happy birthday zoey :) sequia is my favourite hotel. But I never stayed at the Golden forest club. But maybe If I go the first time all by myself I will choose this or the 🧭 club. But I think the forest looked more chilled ans cozy so I'm still not sure :) I'm happy that you had a nice time I always love your videos ❤️
We always do club level at NPB and it’s great. However, when we visited earlier this month they informed us at check-in about the afternoon snacks not being available on check-out day which was a surprise and rather disappointing as we got it last time. We love the afternoon snacks as it’s a good chance to have a rest and some snacks before heading back into the parks for evening rides!
I will say, when we stayed in the GF room in late February, most of what was available to you for afternoon tea, wasn't what was available for us, unfortunately. Breakfast slot around 730am was always really busy when we went and even had to wait 5 mins one day, which didnt bother us. The staff were so lovely in the GF lounge and we loved going in for the "free" drinks as soon as we got back to the hotel.
The lack of plugs in Sequoia is so annoying. My father has to sleep with a machine because of sleep apnea and we had to ask the reception to lend us an extension ( they ask you a 40€ deposit and then when you return the extension cord they give you your money back). Since the rooms can accommodate 4 people and normally we are out the whole day in the park, when we arrive at the room everyone wants to charge the phones, cameras, power banks and in our case, the sleep machine too, so only one or two plugs, especially were they are situated, is not enough. I will never take the plugs for granted again ahah
I'm only going to sleep in Disney Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel in September for 4 days;p yes Empire State Club It's the first time I'm going abroad alone, it's exciting!
I'm a Sequoia Lodge lover, but never gave this option much thought; I'm not a big breakfast eater and since there is no difference in the room I dont think its worth it for me! The only reason I'd enjoy it would be to get the different card because sleeping bambi be cute! I'm a park all day kinda girlie; and love getting just a water/juice and a croissant/paun eu chocolate at the market house deli and sit outside watching the hoardes of people enter the parks 🥰🤣
My sammyyyy..what i want to know from you: people can buy seats i think its about 20 euro( better view?? ) for the fireworks and parade.. is that worth the money? Or is it nonsense to spend money on that?
Every time I see the rooms of Sequoia Lodge I feel like they are outdated. And that’s a bit sad because the theming is nice. I would love to see a more “fresh” look but still within the woods theme. Maybe after the renovation, then I will definitely try Golden Forest club 💕 PS How awesome would club level be if they add it in Cheyenne 😏🤩
Sam has that changed we always stay club level in Sequoia lodge and are able to access club lounge on departure day and have always been told this also at checkin . We were there is January and they had a sign on the front desk of the lounge that anyone who is willing to pay on the day can access the lounge I think it was €35 for breakfast . Breakfast options have decreased significantly also just looking at your options it’s shocking how much they have removed ,all the yogurt gone except the one you pump now . Absolutely shocking when you pay extra to stay club level in my opinion . So staying club level is not exclusive to club level once anyone is willing to part with their money on the day which was the case for us , it was a free for all in January . The cast members in The lounge are the best though so kind and welcoming. OMG I have just got to the end of the video and you said they have changed this so now you can’t access the lounge . Another thing that has been removed from club level .
Yes, sadly you can no longer access the lounge on your last day. The perks have defo changed quite a bit in the past decade, sadly, but I think it can still be worth it for some people 😁
Breakfast in even the value resorts is dead from 9.30 onwards. We stayed in Santa Fe and went to breakfast after magic hour - walked in each time within minutes.
After having stayed in the Disneyland Hotel Castel Club, I would say the Golden Forest Club is not worth it for me. 😅 But I obviously don't know the price and it might be worth for people who wouldn't be able to afford the Castle Club. 😊 Maybe after the renovation, which is definitely needed, it would be worth it for me, too. I would still like to know your opinion, though. Xx
Il est temps de rénover les chambres, surtout dans les lodges, notre séjour de février sera le dernier, trop vieillot....mais nous y reviendrons volontiers quand il sera rénové.
We stayed last month and from watching your video it looked like we stayed in a completely different hotel! It was our most disappointing hotel stay in Disney ever.
Thank you so much for this vlog - so helpful 🥰🥰
Glad it helped :)

Aww I’m so glad and you’re most welcome! Hope you all have the most amazing stay in May 🥰🎉
Staying for 3 nights in January with my sister. An updated vid is just what we needed ❤ I'm very happy with my decision thanks to you Sam
Ahh have an amazing time! 😁

Nice hotel plus good selection for breakfast

Happy birthday Zoe!
Do you have to have half board basis to get the snacks or is it included with the golden forest club?
Not sure if this would be for us, I wouldn't see us coming back for afternoon snacks, but the breakfast looks sooo relaxing! I also heard you mention something about breakfast slots?

Hey Sam, will you be visiting the Efteling on June 17th? I'll be visiting it that day for my birthday and i would love to see you. 🎂 💖
Happy birthday to the little girl, Zoe 🎉 thanks Sam , is breakfast included in all club rooms? I know you said that it is, just checking 😅 always good to know 😊
Yes, breakfast is included for all Club Level guests 🥰

I stayed in golden forest last November and ate my body weight in chocolate mousse 😂 I love your videos!
Haha love it! Thank you! 🥰
Great looking hotel. 😊

What a lovely video! 🥰 Did you ever stayed in a Sequoia lodge suite? I will be staying there very soon. And I'm curious what those rooms are like. 😇
Thank you 🥰 sadly, haven’t stayed in any of the DLP suites, but I’m sure they’re lovely! Hope you enjoy 😁
LATE HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOEY
Your pink Mickey Ears Cap is adorable. Where did you get it?
We had connecting rooms down the hallway from there 😊
The lack of plugs in Sequoia is so annoying. My father has to sleep with a machine because of sleep apnea and we had to ask the reception to lend us an extension ( they ask you a 40€ deposit and then when you return the extension cord they give you your money back).

I will never take the plugs for granted again ahah
Haha yeah it can get annoying, especially if there’s a few of you!
Theres 7 of us so we take 2 4-plug extension leads with us. One for each room+
Hi, Sam I don’t know if you’ll see this I’m coming to Paris may 12, I was wondering if you know when the pride merch hits the shelves thank you :) x
is smoked trout a normal thing for sandwiches in France? as a Brit that sounds awful ahah
WeAAayyyy hi Sam 👋🏿 ❤❤
Happy Birthday Zoe!
I'm only going to sleep in Disney Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel in September for 4 days;p
yes Empire State Club It's the first time I'm going abroad alone, it's exciting!
Have an amazing time! Love Empire State Club! 😁
@@Sam4G0d im want to Alfred burger to
what floor is the shop on? I'm staying at the end of August lol (I haven't seen the whole thing so I don't know if you mention it)
It’s on the ground floor, same level as the reception, club lounge and bar/public lounge.
I'm a Sequoia Lodge lover, but never gave this option much thought; I'm not a big breakfast eater and since there is no difference in the room I dont think its worth it for me! The only reason I'd enjoy it would be to get the different card because sleeping bambi be cute!

My sammyyyy..what i want to know from you: people can buy seats i think its about 20 euro( better view?? ) for the fireworks and parade.. is that worth the money? Or is it nonsense to spend money on that?
No dont pay it. Just another money making scheme like premier access.
I will be staying in this hotel for 3 nights in December
🎉🤩🎉
PLS visit more theme parks like europa park
I LOVE GF!! I've visited DLP 3 times and each time done GF. I couldn't do less😂 Great video Sam❤
Love it! 👌🏼 Thank you 🥰
