999 Happy Haunts Ball

[wdw4us2]

Make sure you check your mailbox today if you're booked for this event.

I received my confirmation letter today which contains this info:

"In conjunction with the event there are now Garden view rooms available at Disney's Contemporary Resort. The room rate is $222 per night including tax. This room package also includes one special surprise gift per room."

Must be a great surprise gift -- the room rate isn't that great.

Any info on the event or better yet pictures of the pins? I hope mine is in the mail when I get home.

This morning I reserved 3 nights (Oct. 30 - Nov. 2) at the Wilderness Lodge, courtyard view, for $176 a night including tax. Since that's our favorite place to stay anyway, we'll certainly be keeping those ressies and not switching to the Contemporary!

I figure they'll have to get us back to the resort somehow when the event is over. I imagine it would be easier for Disney if we all stayed at the same place! I just hope the "surprise" isn't one I'll miss too much. Let's see, the price difference would be about $150 for the three nights. Think the surprise will be worth that much?

Okay, I'm thinking as I'm typing, maybe stay the 30th at the Contemp. and then switch to WL? Oh well, here we go again . . . . . . . . .

I absolutely hadn't thought about the transportation thing after the event ends at midnight! I guess with 999 people (or however many there REALLY are attending) they would have to run buses to all of the resorts - since most people would probably be pretty spread out.

Despite all of the uncertainty, I am really excited about this event. I just hope I get to the mailbox before DH, since this is an anniversary surprise for him!

There were no pictures of any of the merchandise in the letter.

I believe that the transportation will probably be handled like it was at the AP AK event back in May. They ran a few buses that each went to approx. 4 resorts.

I kinda wanted to stay at a Monorail resort for this event, but I couldn't talk my 2 friends that are going into paying the extra $$.

I got mine too. No pictures of anything though.

I also booked our rooms at the Cont Resort. Couldn't get the code or AP rate for CSR so I had to make a switch but it may work out in the end since we will be going to the Happy Haunts and MNSSHP.

97 more days!!!

Do we have to attempt to pre-order stuff? Maybe they don't mention it - I have not gotten mine yet. I am staying with a friend, so I guess that's the cheapest route. We are hoping to do MNSSHP too.

No preordering yet. The letter simply gives your confirmation number, says you have until September 30 to cancel or change a name on your reservation, and gives the information about the Contemp. for $222 with a surprise gift.. You have to fax or mail that letter back to get the room.

Someone on Doombuggies.com noted that when Disney made the same hotel/git offer for the HMH at DL the gift was a CD. If that's how the gift runs, I'll stay at the WL, thank you very much!

OY!! Decisions, decisions . . . .
