My DH and I returned from Disney from our 4 night stay last Tuesday, Oct 28th. We had reservations at the Mandarin Spa for the day we arrived. My DH had a Swedish massage and I had what was called an 'Exotic Hand Ritual' which is a fancy term for a fancy manicure. My DH really enjoyed his...

Oh, by the way, I would recommend making appointments sooner rather than later. During one of my WDW trips I waited until I got to the resort and couldn't get the appointment times I wanted. Enjoy!

If you're staying in the Yacht/Beach Club, Boardwalk Inn area you could go to the Spa at the Dolphin. Here's the link for the Mandara Spa at that resort. http://www.mandaraspa.com/Main/SpaView.aspx?SpaID=8

Thanks for the clarity, Paladin. That explains a lot. I guess I should save my not-so-immediate special requests for when I'm there at the BWI. I'm still waiting on a response from my last conversation with the IPO CM. The CM I spoke to said he'd get back to me by yesterday morning with...

Its so cool that the two of you go together for a girls' weekend! And the BWI CL sounds amazing. I'm really looking forward to my long weekend there. I do have a question about the concierge there. I had sent an email to what I thought was the concierge for BWI. Apparently the Yacht and...

Thanks Alicnwondrln and paladin, I appreciate the info! I actually called Boardwalk (Yacht and Beach Club) Itinerary Planning late yesterday to ask about the renovations at the BWI. I got a bit of a confusing response. I was told they have finished the Club Level rooms. And then later in the...

My DH and I are going to Disney the end of Oct. Its a big birthday for me so we're splurging and booked a Club Level room at the BWI. I've stayed at the BWI before and had a garden view room, so I know what to expect from the resort. (we loved it) What can we expect of the Club Level rooms? Are...

This is great - thanks!! I like the idea about eating before 7pm so as not to miss any of the party. I appreciate your responses and help!

I agree with Dreamgirl78. It is totally worth it! My DH and I schedule our trip to coincide with the MNSSHP schedule since we like to go in the Sept/Oct timeframe. We really enjoy the parade and make sure to watch both of them. We enjoy the trick-or-treating even though the candy is so-so. And...

My apologies if this has been asked before. I wasn't able to sort through all the posts to find an answer. My DH and I are going to the MNSSHP in October. We're arriving in Orlando late afternoon and do not want to use up a day from our park hopper tickets to go into the park, (we love the...

Hi. My DH and I are going to Disney late October to celebrate my birthday. (Its a big one!) We're staying club level. Will we be impacted by the BWI renovations? I haven't been on the boards for a while so I was not aware there were any renovations happening. Thanks

Thanks so much for your recommendations. I think I'll look into making ADRs at the Bistro and plan to surprise my DH. Thank you!

My DH and I will be at Disney in October for four nights. We are trying to decide where to go for a very romantic dinner. We've decided to save Victoria and Alberts for another trip when we're staying at one of the monorail resorts. (we love the idea of riding the monorail in our fancy clothes...

Thank you Everyone! I appreciate your feedback. These links are great. I think I'll send off an email in the next day or so. I can't make dinner reservations yet, but I want to make sure I get them our requests right away. Paladin, Happy Birthday a few months early! I love going to Disney...

Hi. My husband and I have booked a room at the concierge level of the Boardwalk Inn. We're going in October to celebrate my birthday. We've stayed at the BWI before but not at concierge level so we are very excited about it. We were lucky enough to stay at the Polynesian concierge level before...

Thanks for all the great suggestions! Now all I have to do is figure out how to fit them ALL into one afternoon. ;) Thanks so much!

Hi! My DH and I are staying at Polynesian concierge level for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary at the end of this month. We've never stayed concierge level at Disney before and we're really looking forward to it. I'll be arriving in Orlando around 11am. My DH needs to take a later...

I stayed in a Contemporary tower room a few years ago and loved it. My room was on an upper floor at the Chef Mickey's end of the building. My only complaint was about the food smell from Chef Mickey's - not only could we smell it in the hallway leading to our room, but we could smell it IN our...

Thanks for your responses. You've inspired me to keep trying! ;) I think I'll do both - contact the concierge to see if they can do anthing and keep calling on a regular basis. I have my fingers crossed!

My DH and I are going to WDW for our anniversary. We've decided to make reservations at V&A for our anniversary day, (thanks to all who responded to my earlier thread asking about V&A!) but also want to make reservations at the California Grill for another night. We want to dine at/around 8:30pm...
