Thanks for the warning. I will look forward to the hot link corn dogs in 2011. But even the regular ones at bountiful farms market are delicious.

We just checked in late last night. The room is beautiful. We have a view of the theme park. The cast members are so nice here. The young lady that checked us in gave my son a 1st visit button, balloons, and some pictures of mickey.

Have fun and let us know of any "new" things that you see that haven't been posted yet! I am living vicariously through all of you.

We won't know what to do with ourselves on the PC cruise since it will just be the two of us. We're use to traveling with a large group. I've been trying to talk DH cousin & his wife into joining us. See ya on the cruise.

Have a great cruise and let us know all about it. We still have 36 days to go for our first cruise and we're still waiting for our cabin assignment.

Ok, the guest laundry is still not open. We are in a 1 bedroom and it's really nice. I love it here. It's our first time at Disneyland. I can't believe how close everything is. Valet parking is not free. We did valet the car the first night because we got here around 10pm (which is 1am back home). We also ordered room service and the food was really good. We don't own points here, I'm gonna try my best to convince the boss (aka DH) to do an add on after the holidays.

Have an awesome time! I can't wait to hear your thoughts & recommendations because my first DL & VGC trip will be in May (along with some National Parks).

Does anyone have a problem with their VGC points on the website? I can see my points, but for some reason they don't show up under the points available to bank. According to MS, they show correctly on their screen.

OK! Just fyi, I'll be at Bountiful Farms Market with a group at 7 p.m. so that may be the best place to catch me! I'll be dressed as "Pocohontas--The Later Years."

Have fun! I am curious about your first time impressions of DLR. Are you staying in the Villas or in the hotel?

 

[Grumpygrandpa]

Nice GVC siggy wideeyedwonder!

 

[ACDSNY]

DCVNews has posted free valet parking at WDW DVCs is going away. I guess that's how you settle the parking differences between WDW and CA DVCs.

Nice GVC siggy wideeyedwonder!

Thx GG, I had the "standard" GCV sig for a while (after we bought but before our first visit)...but changed it after our first visit to show off one of the possible views from the GCVs (the one from our room!)

Can I steal/ use this? I love it and we had a similar view on our trip!! Actually, how do I make one as I have a pic I could use?

We have not gone to the parks yet. We will be going on tuesday since it's a long holiday weekend I'm afraid that the parks might be too crowded for us to enjoy. When we arrived here on Friday night we saw a few signs that said Disneyland Park was closed due to capacity. We have plenty of time because we will be staying here until next Saturday. We bought 2 day tickets and are doing the trick or treat party on thursday, we are probably going to buy tickets for fridays trick or treat too.

We did the Goofy's Kitchen breakfast at the Disneyland Hotel yesterday and I was so happy that we didn't have to get into the car and drive there. We walked and it wasn't too bad, btw I hate walking.

We are staying in the villas. We have a one bedroom.

Yes, 'steal' it and use it all you want!

What I did was to take the original (I even forgot who's sig I took it off of), load it into photoshop, crop and resize a photo I took of the MFW(OD) night view we had while staying at the GCVs, and paste it over the existing image...then I uploaded the newly created image to photobucket, and used that image in my sig.

You can use any other photo editing software, as long as you can crop and re-size.
