We got upgraded to Castle Club!!

[Sid74]

We were at Disneyland Paris from the 22nd to the 26th November.
I used my DVC points to book a room at the Disneyland Hotel for the first time, we usually stay at the Davey Crockett.

We got a dirty room, I complained to the manager on duty that I didn't think it should happen, especially when people are paying the amount of money that the Disneyland Hotel costs.

The next day there was a message on the tv to speak to the manager about our upgrade to the castle club! We were given a park view room, the room next to the Presidential Suite! I got to look down Main Street at the castle in an empty park, it was magical.

The Cast Members were all fantastic, and there was even one that recognised us from past years trips to different hotels.

The only problem now is, we want to stay there again.

Wow that's really a dream come true, great to hear about proper Disney service and glad you enjoyed your trip to DLP

 

[Disneyfanswicklow]

Great to hear that they sorted your problem quickly and in such style too! Delighted for you! Will it be difficult to stay 'ordinary' again??????

 

[LoodlesNoodles]

Wow, that's amazing! Did you get plenty of pictures from your room?

OOh I am soooooooooo jealous!!! Yes pictures please...

 

[Ware Bears]

I'm really pleased for you. I bet it made your holiday.

I tried to get lots of pictures of the park with no one in it, but my camera is a bit rubbish.
I got a few, but they are currently on DH computer, if anyone seriously wants to see them I will try to figure out how to put them on.

I had a wonderful time, I really didn't want to come home.

It even had DH saying we would have to stay there again. He usually says that we don't need to pay for the more expensive hotels as we are only in them to shower and sleep, so this is a real from him.

I need to stay at the Sequioa Lodge and the Newport Bay Club, then I have completed my aim of staying at all the Disney hotels on site.
The only thing now is we are trying to figure out how to fit a visit to the castle club in with each stay.

Do they ever offer discounts on the castle club?

 

[Disneyfanswicklow]

Oh yes I would like to see photos too!!!!

 

[Ware Bears]

I'd love to see the photos too.

How lovely to be able to say you've stayed at every hotel.

I think sjaakie managed to get shareholders discount on Castle Club a few years ago bur IIRC she was surprised as I don't think it's usually given ~ I'm under the impression that it doesn't come under the offers ie. 30% or 40% either.

Ok, it has taken me most of the day to get the photos from DH's computer, and put them into some sort of order. I have made an album at snapfish of castle club view pictures. Does anyone know if I can just link to it?

Some of them are not very good, but there are a few I really like. Our camera decided to pick this trip to play up, so some of them are a bit blurry.

wow how good a service is that, was the room you were given in a really bad state then?

Nice to hear stories like this, keeps it a bit magical. Wouldn't happen anywhere else!
