:eek: Please don't let buyer's remorse set in, please, please, please.... :faint:
I've got two more of these to go and get now. By the way, I was able to use all $600 worth of Target-bought gift certificates to buy it at the
Disney Store. So, $30 off each AP! :thumbsup2
5 to go and you didn't even touch the extra 3? That is other-worldly self control you both possess. Okay, you've gotta share the menu to this place! I love looking at menus to places I'll probably never make it to -- ya know, just to drool all over the keyboard. :hyper:
This standard view sounds far and away better than our YC Garden View... with the dead tree and the bus stop beyond. :lmao: I guess dead vegitation still counts as "garden" -- I guess I can start charging guests for garden view looking out onto our backyard.
Ya never know, you could always get a little of this upon check-in: pixiedust: Of course, from all accounts, the pool view sounds spectacular, too.[/QUOTE]
Awesome :cool1::cool1: Target just opened up here in Canada. I wonder if they have WDW gift cards here! They don't at our Disney Store -something about exchange rates? But they sell park tickets?
[quote="chimo2u, post: 48348286"]Hi guys! :goodvibes I'm having a little dilemma myself with regards to my Disneyland vacation -- don't know how many of you have been to DL or stayed at the hotels onsite there, but we got a pretty good deal for our DIVA trip and are staying at the Grand Californian. You know me and rooms/ resort experience, :thumbsup2 I go out for the best experience -- always stayed club level and always deluxe. HOwever, club level at the Grand is a complete budget buster, it's not even comparable to what I can get at WDW - they want an extra $250 / night to upgrade to CL!!! :scared1: ok, now even I don't want to pay and extra $1250.00 just for 5 nights of club level snacks and pop! I did decide to upgrade my view to a priemier park view/ Disney California Adventure view for an extra $50 a night/ or $300.
Now, usually I am picky and want a good view/ room, but I am wondering in my case, is it really worth it for this trip?? Christine, and I and the Diva Gals are probably going to be busy, busy and how much time will I really spend in my room??? that $300 could pay for my return airfare. or a number of other things as I am trying to keep the cost of my DL trip fairly reasonable being that I am planning my BIG Kidani 1BDRM/ DLX dine Grad trip for my son and his GF in Jan/Feb 2015.
So the big question - downgrade to Standard View and save $300 and hope I am either pixie dusted at check in / or perhaps I can pay for the upgrade at checkin once I know how saving for the trip pans out over the next 9 months -
OR Keep the View and be guaranteed a great park view/ at a $300 price tag??
Thoughts my friends?? :confused:[/QUOTE]
I'd go with the standard view, and save the $ on food, etc.
[quote="babyberger, post: 48349141"]Rough rough day here, Steven was out of class by 8:20am :( I am so tired I wouldn't even want to be at Disney right now. I tried to get excited looking at BLT pics and not even that is helping. 4 more weeks of school....just need to through this next month and hopefully figure out what is happening with my little (well not so little) guy.
HUGS!!!

Oh [B][SIZE="5"][COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Princess of POP[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B], I need your assistance! :rotfl:
June 6th - 12th, Pop Century. I guess we're going to check out SWW. :eek: Haven't booked the flights yet but the hubs got excited when I told him how inexpensive it was... :rolleyes1
Any suggestions as to where I should request for a quiet location in a standard view room, top floor... 80's?[/QUOTE]
Woohoo!!
[quote="jennyjinx3, post: 48353735"]Just got a pin for FD with dates for the rest of the year. Figures that when we finally bite the bullet and get AP's we get our first ever pin that we have to actually buy tickets with!!:rotfl2:
It is all good, as long as we can get that bounceback booked we are golden!
Anyone else get the email??
And Miss! Yay for SWW!! You rock!:smokin:[/QUOTE]
Nah, I never get anything! But congrats!!
[quote="Grumpy Grandma, post: 48353785"]Hi All!!! :grouphug: Just wanted to do a quick little check in. DH and I are leaving bright and early in the morning (well late morning for most of you! :rotfl2:) heading to So Cal. DS and almost DDIL are buying their first house and want us to come take a look at it ... guess it pays to have a retired building inspector and ex real estate agent in the family! :rotfl: We'll be back home Wednesday evening.
I'll be reading along on our little thread .... and you know me I'll probably be posting. Everyone have a great weekend .... try to stay out of trouble until Granny gets back!!! Hugs to all!!![/QUOTE]
Safe travels!
