DL did have a Candlelight Processional dinner for a few years. I never did it, but read about a lot of fiascos with reservations, phone lines getting completely jammed, etc. Not sure whether or not they still attemp it or not. But they also only have CP on two nights over one weekend vs. the entire month of December., which would certainly add to the mess of trying to reserve something like that.

Disneyland, DH and my horses have a soothing effect on my soul, and always brings a smile on my face.

On the other hand, June is prom month, and I have often seen many high school girls dressed in a perfectly made Cinderella or other princess dresses with their handsome dates in tuxs. They are just so beautiful! |

The problem is weather. Any premium event (D23 or dinner package) could easily be rained out. This year we waited through several hours of intermittent rain for the first Sunday Candlelight performance. The weather looked favorable enough to seat all the invited guests, only to have the show canceled when rain started again. |

I was lucky enough to be a guest of lulubelle and her DD Saturday night in the 1-bdrm. villa they had--4508--overlooking PP. We were able to watch WoC--could actually see many of the projections as well as the fountains.
Both parks were pretty packed on Saturday. lulubelle and her DD said Friday night was empty--most rides were a walk-on and they were able to get pretty much last minute curb seats for the fireworks. Don't know where all those people came from--especially since the SoCal passes were blocked out! We had a great dinner at HOB (new favorite drink--Cucumber Collins) and Sunday morning we had a yummy relaxing breakfast at Steakhouse 55.

Toocherie, we were in a studio Saturday night. My hubby and my younger DD were able to check in at about 3pm. My older DD and I were at the Fairflex for the day and arrived at the GCH at 11pm that night. We were in room 6504. My DH sent me a photo of DD watching the same WOC show you mentioned while I was attending the Equine Affaire. I also got pics of the pins DD got while trading. I just love modern phones.

Wow! We're going to be there from 2/15 to 2/17 in a 1BR too! This evening we just heard that some dear friends are going to be at DLR that same week, so we've invited them to stay with us. Hope the foldout bed is comfy. We both are getting sick of the cold and dreary weather.

Great CM Experience
Last week, I was in SoCal on business and flew my DW out to celebrate our 28th anniversary for the weekend. Unexpectedly my sister passed away from complications with breast cancer and had to return to DFW as soon as possible. However, with the Super Bowl and bad weather in Dallas last week, we could not get a flight back until early Saturday morning.
On Friday, we stayed at a hotel near DL so we could have dinner in DD and fly out early Saturday morning. Before dinner, we walked around the GCV. We talked to a CM at the check-in desk and asked if it would be possible to see one of the villas. We bought points before the GCV was finished and my DW had never seen a finished unit. We told her that we would understand if it was not possible. The hotel & villas were at capacity last weekend. The CM stepped away to check with her manager and came back and told us a 1BD was available for us to see. If I remember correctly, the CM's name was Jai, and she seemed as excited as my DW that she could show it to us. The unit was absolutely beautiful. We love the Arts & Crafts style and detailing. We felt the warmth of "home" the moment we walked in, even though we only stayed maybe 5 minutes. We thanked the CM and told her that she made our night. Considering the weekend was such a disaster, this CM's care, committment and compassion demonstrated the service and quality that we love about Disney. My DW and I felt like we received a little bit of pixie dust, and it was so desperately needed. My DW said we need to spend all of our vacations at the GCV...I agree.
