OMG the luggage tags are awesome 3D ones. Now our BLT/CR Mickey Mail will hopefully be here shortly. I am so super excited.
I just want my Mickey Mail!
Sounds awesome!! Looks like you have a few trips planned! I'm super jealous!! I am a huge fan of the monorail as well. I've been begging my husband to get me the car window sticker that says "my other vehicle is a monorial"
As far as the "one night is more than our mortgage", I would just reply back "yeah, but the CR is soooo much cooler than our house" (this is the point where my husband would just shake his head and walk away)
) except that DD 1 graduates next year and this will probably be our last trip to WDW for a while because no one will have the same vacation breaks. So we are going for it! We usually stay deluxe, but we havent stayed in MR resort since our honeymoon 25 years ago! And I have that same noatalgic feeling about staying there... So we are in! Now, admittedly we stayed at the "park that must not be named" 2 years ago and 2 years before that we stayed in a Ft Wilderness cabin ( another nostalgic trip for us; went with my folks and we always used to camp there as kids!), but no Mickey Mail then...anyone want to enlightenten me? TIA!
We will be at the Contemporary in 30 days and I received our luggage tags three days ago. Hope you all recieve yours soon
For others...I'm not a WDW newbie, but I have no idea what Mickey Mail is?
Sure I get this! We call it the doc dance on Cruise critic; they day you get our docs and luggage tags!Mickey Mail is your hard copy documentation for your trip which Disney normally sends out anywhere from 15-30 days before your trip. It includes really cool luggage tags (3D), vouchers, it tells you what's included like Dining Plan, Park Tickets, Resort. Things of this nature. I like Mickey Mail because it makes your trip a reality now. I hope that makes sense.
Do you still get Mickey mail with a room only? We are doing the yes program so no magic your way for us.
30 days left!
We are the opposite. We check into CR in 20 days and we have our ME stuff but nothing from the resort stuff (and no fun luggage tags yet). We are also doing a split stay with BC and have not received anything from that trip either. I called Disney and she said they were printed on May 5th but that if we do not have them next week she will have them redone and left at the resort for us
Thanks for that info! I'm thinking that everything will likely be routed through my TA. I guess no matter what gets sent I get to spend 3 days of my vacation in WDW
- and want to call and make a room request. While BLT is one of our home resorts, this will be our first stay, so I'd like your input. Probably our first priority is convenience. We'd like to be near the elevator closest to the walkway and also have easy access to the pool. Is this even possible? We have a Lake View 2-bedroom reserved. I realize that higher floors give the "best" views, but that probably isn't our first priority since we're lake view instead of TPV.
Welcome to the thread! While WL is our overall favorite resort, CR is a close second so I can understand your dilemma. In 2010, I couldn't decide between the two for Christmas, so we stayed at both and we're staying at both again in August. Have you thought about doing the same split? We did CR first and then WL last, with more nights at WL. All the resorts are magical at Christmas, and the CR is no exception and it's just a walkway away from the MK which is amazing at Christmas - really gets you in the spirit
Welcome! I bet you're excited about your first BLT stay. There is a great BLT/DVC thread that has all the BLT room numbers and their views on the first page. I think that would be a great place to start! There are also many room view photos there:Great thread, everyone! So much info! But even though I've read 30+ pages, I have a question. Hopefully it hasn't been answered in the other 70 pages!
We'll arrive at BLT on June 10 - 12 days!
Thanks for your thoughts!
