I feel as though "so excited" is going to be the theme of the next month for all of us! Can't wait to meet everyone!
Just read on the Disneyland thread that Club 33 is closing for 6 months starting in January 2014 for major renovations....guess we won't get to dine here on our ABD
When we were trying to decide between February and June we were told we'd have a better chance of getting into the renovated Club 33 in June. So lets still hold out hope that we will get to dine there!

My understanding is that they are going to do their best to reopen in the timeframe they are telling everyone that it will be done.
My fingers are crossed for you all.
I'm pretty sure that's on your dime. ABD's transfers, I believe, are from LAX to Lowes. You could, however, possibly do one of the buses that run between DLR and LAX on the day the ABD starts, and get picked up at LAX. Don't know if that would be helpful or not.I will be doing the Dis Exclusive BSM in Feb.
I am kinda bummed about Club 33. But I think I will purposefully not read about other BSMs.... so it can all be a surprise.
Here is my question... I plan to fly in Fri nite, but BSM does not start until Monday. I plan on staying at Grand Cal Villas (hopefully) or Disneyland Hotel. Will ABD provide transfers to Lowes or is that on my dime?

Oh, that's very cool! I didn't know they'd do that. I guess it never hurts to ask.We live in SoCal and this is what we are doing for our BSM in October of 2014. We are driving to the GCH where self parking will be included and were given a meeting time the day the trip starts. I believe a town car will pick us up and take us to the hotel in Hollywood. I would give them a call and make arrangements.

silmarg, I think you'd want to check with Kevin about that.
Sayhello
DD and I have taken the BSM tour three times (yes, I know, crazy!), and each time we drove up from San Diego. We took our car to the front of the GCH as if we were checking in. We told the person at the Concierge desk that we were there, and they gave us a slip to put on our dashboard. We then drove the car to GCH's lot across the street. A town car drove us to the Hollywood hotel for two of the adventures, and we took a standard passenger van the third time. I think the town car's pick-up time is 1 p.m. (Check on that, of course.) And make sure to confirm with ABD or your travel agent that you will, indeed, need a pickup from the Grand. I called ABD at least twice each time to make sure!
I know lots of folks who have done BSM multiple times. And have signed up to do it yet again. I have a sneaky suspicion it will be at least as special as the first time, if not more so!Our BSM trip will be our second time, so I'm glad we aren't the only ones doing it more than once. Our first trip was in 2009 and I know there have been a lot of changes since then. I hope it will be just as special as the first time!!

Just booked the Adult Departure for October 2014!!
The tour starts on our 12th anniversary. Seems to be a good way to celebrate.
My husband and I will be on the Oct 2014 adult only trip too! It will be our first ABD trip.
For those who have done this trip before, I have a few questions...
Did you feel like you wanted more free time in the parks? Enough that you wanted to stay an extra day or two?
We are thinking a red eye back to NY so we would have the full day on the last day but then we would need our own transportation to the airport. Anyone have an idea of the cost of a cab or town car to the airport?
I thought I read that 4 pm was the latest they would do an airport transfer.
If we stayed an extra night or two we would probably switch to a near by hotel... then we would definitely need a car to the airport.
