Oh my gosh I can't believe I just did this....

[disneegrl4eva]

well yeah maybe I can...I am an AP holder and have this little thing on my desktop called disney dashboard and for those of you who arent AP's, it gives closures and programing for the next 4 days, a personal quote from Walt, wallpaper, and news...well today, I went on it and I had a popup of a "news update" so I clicked on it and lo and behold it said that from Jan 28-Feb 15 they were offering a special for AP holders...so I called just to see and they have Pool room or DCA view rooms for $208 a night at the GC...well heck, I paid that last month for DLH...I have been planning on going back for 1 day ONLY next month but what did I do???? yep you guessed it....I booked a GC room for Feb 9-10th...Im a nut what can I say??? Im crazy for DL so I guess Im going back again

Awesome deal. Great that you could take advantage of it!!!!

I love Disney dashboard. Great new addition to my computer when they rolled it out. Dh doesn't understand it and tends to make things disappear on computers without meaning to. I'm afraid he will mess something up if he clicks on it. I've warned him that I would smack his hand if he touches my dashboard.

oooo-I'm jealous! I was just drooling over how I'd love to stay at the GC some day! I'm was trying to devise a plan for next Christmas-and I haven't even been to DL yet LOL!
All the excitement here is contagious!

Perfectly said!

Yep, I called today for our weekend trip on the 8-10, and rates are $129 at PP, $139 at DLH and $189 at GC for standard views. Great rates, wish I could take advantage!!! Hope some others can get them!

Aw, you're not a nut at all. Way to go for getting such a great deal. Hope you have a magical trip!

 

[PattiPB]

Thanks for posting! For some reason, I didn't get the pop-up???

If I mention returned in two weeks after going for MLK AND buying DVC, I think my husband's head will explode. I'd better keep him around a while...

Calling my DSis about the rates. I very much agree that the excitement of these boards is contagious! That should be a tag.

CONGRATS - how exciting a trip AND a great deal!

 

[jemilah]

LUCKY! I don't have an AP so I will be paying way more than that

 

[TwingleMum]

WAHOO!! Another trip report from Lynn! Hopefully this one will only be positive experiences. Minnie better watch out! RUN MINNIE RUN!!!

 

[jemilah]

Hey wait a minute...............is this going to crowd up my trip????????????

 

[disneegrl4eva]

oh yeah I am really excited....when I went this past visit (nov 35-dec 1) the whole trip was planned around my god daughter 5 as her christmas present but we couldnt get her out of school that long so seeing as the trip is going to be for a friday and saturday I thought maybe we could get her out of school for just 2 days and yep it worked...her mom said she could go and she has no idea about it hehehe!...I keep contemplating whether I should keep it at GC or switch over to DLH for her...on one hand staying at GC we will get a DCA view which she will love and the rate is amazing for the property ...but on the other hand, DLH is so magical...I dont know which one to choose what do you guys think?? one perk of staying at GC is its closer to the parks and we can go right through to DCA...however, DCA doesnt open for 2 hours prior to DL opening...the only downside to staying in DLH is its a long walk to DL gates...well for me it is anyway....so what should I do?

 

[TwingleMum]

DLH seems more kid oriented with the Neverland pool and Goofy's kitchen. DTD is really close and the monorail. I don't think there is a right or wrong. Whichever you chose she's one lucky little girl!!!

 

[kristenhh]

I will probably buy an AP if I can get those rates.

 

[disneegrl4eva]

same number as reservations 714-956-MICKEY ºoºkeep in mind that the offer is from 1/28-2/15

 

[DangerMouse]

I prefer the DLH over the GCH. And you can't beat the monorail service which drops you so close to the DLH at the end of a long day in DL. I find that I'm fresh enough to walk through DTD in the mornings, but depend on the monorail when I'm heading back to the hotel.

 

[tracer]

That is sooo exciting. We were debating upgrading our tickets in March to AP because we will be back in Dec and I think we will get our moneys worth. Now that I hear I can get a better rate at the DLH on selected dates....I HAVE to do it! How exciting...congrats!

 

[disneegrl4eva]

man now Im really torn....its only $139 a night at DLH...thats a savings of $200 from staying at GC ....what should I do...HELP!!!!

 

[MATTERHORN]

Jemilah - Depending what you are paying it would be possibly really worth it for you to get an AP while you are there. You can book the rates now and just upgrade during your trip and show it to the front desk.

If your upgrade cost for one AP was $100 and you would be saving more than that, you should go for it even if you won't be back this year!

What do you mean, it's only $209 for a theme park view at GC! That's only a difference of $80 a night. And only a difference of $50 a night if you go standard view GC.
