    Once More Unto the Spring Break Breach

    We (two adults, two teens) spent 4 nights at the GCH for our 3rd, or maybe 4th, spring break trip. We took advantage of the Chase Disney offer so knocked off 30% the room. Instead of being insanely expensive it was just really expensive! We had a Woods/Courtyard view so overlooked the monorail...

    Step 4: Full Circle to Aulani – Unearthing the Rare Gem of Subsidized Contracts and Adding a Splash of Grandeur with VGC!

    After securing Saratoga Springs as our SAP haven, I stumbled upon an intriguing term: Aulani Subsidized Contracts. These are rare finds where Disney itself partially subsidizes your annual dues, making them a cost-effective choice for members. Fortune favored me in the winter of 2019 when I...

    Step 2: Back Home to Grand Cal - The Dream Awakens

    A decade before our first purchase, in the scorching summer of 2009 at Disneyland, my wife and I stumbled upon an oasis - the DVC cart in the hub. With a napping one-year-old in the stroller, we were enticed by the offer of air conditioning and free ice cream. Throw in free fast passes, and the...

I've had no problem getting this room at other times, but I figure with Christmas time there will probably be a lot of demand. Is this a...
