I think the bulk of folks actually stay at the host hotels...

Thanks. Probably at Grand Floridian this time after reading tripadvisor reviews on the various properties.

I'm SO excited for Gay Days! It will be my first stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Since I fly in on June 1st, before the Disney theme park scheduled days, I'm going to Universal's Islands of Adventure to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter that night. Is anyone else going there? If so, when? I'm wearing my red shirt. (I'm only packing red shirts for the whole trip.)

Definitely going to see HP one day while I am there. 6/2 - 6. First gay days and can't wait!

For Gay Days and Disney resorts I don't think any one resort is more popular than another. It all depends on people's budget and personal preference. There are certain hotels around Downtown Disney that are host hotels the Gay Days events. Each time I go down to WDW I try to stay at a different resort. This time I'm staying at the Swan. Not sure how well I'll like the theming since it's not a Disney resort, but I love the location. So nice being able to walk to Epcot and DHS.

Great, thank you. Doing GF I think. Would be nice to stay on the monorail this time.

Rated #17 in the Orlando by TripAdvisor, the Grand is #76...just sayin

It's also right around the corner from one of the host hotels so you can walk to the pool parties!

And it has one of the BEST employees ever

 

[Andynnj]

Thanks for the info, but I have no plans to go to the parties at the host hotel. I'm there to o.d. on Disney.

Gay Days couldn't come soon enough. I can't wait to hear the monorail again.

Wait wait wait. You're on a 7:55 am flight out of midway? What airline? LOL

If it's Southwest, I'll be on the plane when it comes in from Minneapolis. LOL

12 MORE DAYS! Seven work days. To quote a famous commercial... "I can't sleep! I'm too excited!"

 

[STOCKYJIM]

Only 4 more sleeps till we leave - AND 0 - count them 0 -more days working!!!
Just sent my last email - set my voicemail to stun and am FINALLY getting in to party mood - but do you want to know my wicked secret???

I havent even STARTED packing yet!!!

That only gives me 2 days to get everything for the holiday/cruise into our cases and then throw out half the stuff i think is essential. Thats the only problem with disney packing lists - they are all aimed at people with kids - and i forgot that when i started packing - am i likely to need ziploc bags for wet costumes? not likely - neither of ours fits in the bags!!!

heheheeh

I want to spend most of arrival day in epcot, which has pm EMH's. since we have to be leaving BIL's house by around 5am.. that is one long long day. (since our 5am is FL's 4am.)
