We've had an amazing stay. In fact, so wonderful that I have been too busy for updates. BUT I just received such wonderful care that I just to share!!!
We have already checked out. Shortly after getting to Downtown Disney for some shopping, my teenage son started to feel VERY ill. We took a cab back to BC and he planted himself on a couch in the lobby. He's not pukey, but just about as miserable as I've ever seen him. I felt bad for him! What teenage kid wants to sit in a busy lobby and be sick?? I went up to the 5th floor CL and asked if there was a more private place for him to rest. Hyacinth (a CL CM) had to call a few people, but arranged for us to have a room for him to rest in until 4pm.
Although I wish this fantastic trip was ending without this hiccup, I'm so grateful for the kindness shown to us today. I've been a Disney guest for years and I always hoped that if I REALLY NEEDED kindness, they would come through. I'm overjoyed to say they really went above and beyond today!
PS: What is the best way to let someone know how much Hyacinth's kindness meant to us?!?
We have booked two ADRs at CMC for our trip, once for breakfast and once for dinner. This will be our first time experiencing CMC. We enjoy an occasional breakfast and since we did not do one on our trip last year we all agreed we wanted to include one this year. As for the dinner choice, my son can eat his weight in crab legs so this will be perfect for him. Looking forward to trying it out. We may even pop into Beaches and Cream while we are there this time!
Gonna miss ya. Doing Hoop at 5pm.
But guess what we did this morning. Went completely against my own advice and went to MK. And guess who we ran into on the way back....Disney/Secret Service did a good job of moving everyone in and out.
Maybe this will help with room view. These are the rooms with the standard view looking from the driveway as you come up.
I hadn't even considered access to the elevators or the lobby. Definitely good points. Thanks for sharing.
That doesn't seem that bad. Thanks for pointing out were the CL rooms are located. And thanks MikeyT for the picture!
Sound reasoning!
Thanks Teena! After reading many of the pages in this thread and seeing the respect that some many of the posters have for you, I think I will heed your advice. And, if all goes well, I will try to keeping an eye out for you when we arrive to thank you in person.
Ok, I think we're all set.
DP (is that how you abbreviate Disney Parner??) and I have our first BC stay booked a wee bit less than 2 months out. We've booked 2 nights in a GV room before we head over to BWI to share a room with friends for a full week. BWI is our favorite (so far), but I especially have always wanted to stay at BC, so needless to say, I'm over-the-moon excited.
I do need to call Disney to firstly alert them that it's our anniversary and to make a room request. DP is 6'5 and prefers a king bed if at all possible. Any idea of the odds of landing one? Also based on looking at maps and Teena's suggestion, I think we'd like to request a "volleyball court" view. DP isn't crazy about ground-floor rooms, but for 2 nights, it isn't the end of the world. I'm not going to add that to the request, because I don't want that to be the one request that's met....
So....would "Volleyball Court View, King Bed if possible" be the way to go?
Any thoughts?
That is so sad. We love eating out, and really love eating out at regular places where we are comfortable. It sucks when a favourite menu gets replace by new items that aren't as good.
. We are all very excited as it will be our first stay at BC (although we did YC in 2010)!
