New HOJO December dates...

[mommy2allyandaveri]

They just added 1, 2, and 12. None of my dates

Looks like we will be canceling our kids suite during our stay from 12/4-12/10.

I know! We are staying there during that week too. I keep checking but no such luck! Have you got a back up hotel booked? Maybe our dates will come up yet?

 

[mommy2allyandaveri]

We do. The Ramada Maingate. I really wanted the kids suite, I just can't justify spending the extra money when no breakfast is offered and they are farther away.

You?

Thanks but that's about the same as what we would pay at HOJO and you can't really walk from CCI. Ramada Maingate has updated rooms, breakfast and free wireless internet for $99 per night.

Not anymore. We had originally booked an alternate room at the Stovall's Inn but I emailed Kimberly & ended up getting the 30% off dealy that someone mentioned in another thread here awhile back. That brought our HoJo reservation to just a bit over our Stovall's reservation. So I cancelled the Stovall's one. I am still holding out hope for the Ent Rate. We are staying there regardless but it sure would be nice to save even more $$. Fingers crossed!!
1 week & 3 days!!!!!!

Hi...Just curious what you mean by this? We normally stay at the CCI and love it for the close, easy walk. In fact, for our December trip, it will be our first stay at the Hojo (not all of our dates are covered for the Entertainment Rate, either ) and I'm a little nervous about how the walk will compare?

Anyway...here's hoping for more December dates!

The walk is essentially the same for both places. If I remember correctly, Candy Cane is just a touch farther.

 

[mommy2allyandaveri]

We usually don't end up walking from HOJO either, although I do think CCI is farther. We have a 3 year old. To heavy to carry that far and she doesn't want to walk that far either.

I think most people think CCI is too far to walk.

I wouldn't say most people think CCI is too far to walk. It's a pretty easy stroll to the parks. It's the walk back that hurts.

According to this link, http://www.mouseplanet.com/7280/How_Far_Is_It the difference in distance from the esplanade to HoJo and CCI is approx. 200 feet. Both are less than a 10 minute walk. The CCI has a dedicated shuttle for those who have heavy 3 year olds to carry back to the hotel.

Before you cancel I would talk to In-House Reservations and just make sure they don't have any of your dates for the ent rate. They only update the dates once a week that I have seen so it may be worth a try on the phonecall. Otherwise wait till the next update which should be monday to see if they are released.
