Grand Gatherings Anyone??

[ceejay13]

There are 12 of us going in January and I called and got my official Grand Gatherings number to start making ressies. Anyone already done this and have any additional information to share?? We are looking at the character breakfast and Epcot event. This may need to be moved to another board but since I got my number through Member Services I thought I would start here.

I downloaded all of the Grand Gatherings stuff from the website, and I will be getting our number tomorrow when I call to reserve the GV for the first night of our stay next October. I think it will be fun to plan this way when we have so many going (11).

Go to the website and get thr DVD planning kit, too. It is quite nice and lists the "extras" you cna do.

I just received my planning kit including the DVD. Of all the DVDs and videos WDW has put out in the last few years, this far exceeds the others. It is about 2 hours long, and is actually more comprehensive than the last video I puchased last year at the parks. It is also very flexible, where you can pick and choose where you want to go or just play the whole thing. It begins with an overview of the "world" and then goes into details on many of the rides, all of the hotels and many of the other things WDW has to offer. It even has an interactive map of the world and then each of the parks and Pal Mickey gives you a very small sampling of what he has to offer. Needless to say I was impressed.

Watch the part about BCV, though. It shows a pic of a VWL room instead of a BCV room in the tour and in the photos it has a pic of OKW as BCV!!!
