We just got back on Wednesday from 4 nights at the Grand Californian and loved it! We were told at GC that valet parking would be $15 per night and to upgrade our room to theme park view would be $45 per night. Both of these were higher than posts that I had read before we left for our trip. We...

When we've stayed at BWV and have seen buses from other resorts I've just assumed it's because The BoardWalk is an "attraction" too -- similar to Downtown Disney.

We went to WDW for our daughter's 9th b-day and contacted DVC MS before we left home. They arranged to have a beautiful little cake delivered to our room at BWV. (It was waiting for us when we returned to the room after dinner.) It included noisemakers, confetti, balloons and a card signed by...

Your trip reports are the best, George! Thanks!!

Thanks for the pictures, Mary Jo! Only 9 more days and we'll be there -- your pictures give us an idea what to expect! :D

Thanks Jenn & Mary Jo! How long would you say that drive takes, mary Jo? I know it depends on how long we stop, but a few hours to get to Anzo Borrego? It sounds like a beautiful trip and worth the time.

Thanks for the tips, Tink! There's so much to do in the area that we're having a hard time trying to figure it all out!

We wanted to add an additional night to the nights we had already reserved, so we called approx. 2 weeks ago and got a Disney Club rate of $270 per night for a park view, or $230 for a standard view. We called the Disneyland Resort number -- not Grand Californian direct.

We are going to be at DL next week!!! 1st night at Anaheim Marriott ($50 on Priceline!) next 4 nights at GC on DVC points -- we can't wait! While we are there we are planning on some side trips and I'm hoping that some locals can give us pointers as we've never been to the LA area before. 1st...

Thanks for the link, MaryAnn! We go three weeks from Sat. and I feel like I'm so behind in planning -- this site will really help. I can't wait to try Blue Bayou! :pinkbounc

We were telling a couple that we're close friends with about DVC a few months ago, and our friend said, "I think everyone should go to Disney twice in their life. Once when they're five and once when their child is five." My DH and I sat there and were speechless! Some people just don't get it...

Thank you both for the info -- I will call just to be sure!

We made reservations for Coronado Springs 8/22-8/26 and used a code (from Mousesavers) to get a great rate! When I received our resevation confirmation, down at the bottom near the price it said "Postcard Fall Value Rate". When I booked, nobody mentioned bringing a postcard when we check-in and...

When I go on a WDW vacation, the only place I am assured of (and expect) peace and quiet is in my room -- my personal space. I think the key here is that we are talking about a public area where thousands of people have access at any given time. I am at a loss as to how we could be...

Does anyone know what the Disney Club discount is on 4 day Park Hoppers? Also, it seems like I heard that this discount was not available at the resort -- they need to be purchased ahead of time through DC. Is this correct? I hope not, I'd much rather purchase them at GC when we check in.

Thanks for the great report, Greg. We are going next month (staying at GC) and we cannot wait!! We had contemplated upgrading to Concierge, but after reading the reports lately, we're going to save our money!

Sometimes it amazes me when I read these posts about the things that get under people's skin -- especially when they are on vacation! When we go to WDW we are in heaven, every trip is better than the one before. (Of course we are lucky we have never had an illness, accident or theft -- those are...

We bought our Park Hoppers when we checked in last April and they were on our room keys. Last few times we've had them separate because we bought more days than we needed at the time and thought it would get confusing on later trips.

We own at BWV!! :p

Hi CherylP! Since you're a DVC'er, I'd call MS. When we surprised our 9 year-old with a trip to BWV for her b-day last month, we called them and they arranged everything. It was great! We had a cake, balloons, noisemakers, etc. MS will be able to look into it and let you know if the same kind of...
