Hi triplefigs I just wanted to say my husband would love your Roll Tide sig. I however am an Auburn fan so I have to say War Eagle.

At least you love the CR and Disney!

 

[sabrinadv1]

Yes I do. It is wonderful to know the most wonderful things can unite the biggest rivalries.

how did you get 40%? some card in the mail?

We are plaaning a trip in 6/08 amnd trying to decide to use or DVC points for a week long stay at the CR or the new villas in the Animal Kingdom.

I like the idea of the monorail at the hotel and heck the Contemporary is, in my opinion, Disney's hallmark hotel.

On the other hand my two DDs will be 3 and 7 and I know they would a savanna view at the AKL. The downside to staying here would be taking a bus with a stroller.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

save points go to AKV and then you can have another trip later on

Or even better spend your friday/saturday at Contemporary (pay cash) and the rest at AK that will save you even more points

Where or with what discount did you get that for so cheap? We stayed there last December during value season same room cat with the AP rate we paid $335 per night. I feel terribly robbed now, LOL. Just kidding but would LOVE to stay at a rate like that!!!

This post is in reply to the $237 a night! MDBEHR

I think for this may we got an MK view tower room for $344/night w/ the AP discount. I thought that was a great deal.

Yes, it was a postcard discount mailer. Bookings ended on March 15. Keep an eye out on the Codes board for future discounts.

Yes, I got a 40% off postcard in the mail.

I'm not sure if this info has already been posted but there is now a sign in the Contemporary Resort arcade confirming that it will be closing on April
24th and re-opening on the 4th floor on April 28th. There is no news on when the snack bar is closing/moving.

This is the 1st time I have read this info on here, so thanks for posting it.

Oh please let it be open by the 28th. DS9 will be soooooo bummed. We are coming back during the day and promised him we would take him to the arcade while we let his brother chill out. He even got Disney Dollars from my mom just for him to spend there.

Thanks for the info!

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

Unless I am wrong I don't think you can use Disney Dollars to get a game card to play in the arcade. Going by my memory I know you can purchase a card by insterting cash, your KKTW card and credit cards, however I saw no mention of being allowed to use Disney Dollars.

 

[Mkrop]

Ok if he cant use the Disney Dollars there there I am sure there will soemthing he wants to buy somewhere. I thought I had read somewhere that. Oh weel can find that out whne we get there, like I said I just hope it is open! Thanks

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

Your welcome.

Just saw a post on the DVC page that pipes are being laid at the site of the old wing building. Has anyone been there lately that can give some more info?

 

[PrincessPaczki]

I have a quick question, do you think the Concourse will be open in Sept. or in its new location? Would you get your ADR's there or go somewhere else?
thanks!

 

[jaycns]

Just bumping this thread...it is WAY too far down!!

 

[Mkrop]

Just got back last night so if anyone has any questions, fire away!

We were in Rm 4627! Tower MK View.

Will write more later.

My question is if the computers that are supposed to be in the rooms let you access the internet and your email or just disney websites?

DH accessed everything. Email, DS9's school website, etc plus the Disney websites to find out info.
