Congratulations!
Make sure your reservation is for 5 adults, and request a Daybed.So I decided to do a girls' trip to Disneyland for my 39th birthday with my two sisters, sister-in-law, and best friend...
Make sure your reservation is for 5 adults, and request a Daybed.
We arrive at LGB Monday at noonish, and are flying out about 6:30 Friday evening. My sister and friend both work at jobs where it's easier to get weekdays off than weekends, and it was cheaper to fly off the weekends too. We bought 5-day parkhoppers from LMTClub before the price increase and will be getting MaxPass most of the days (might not bother for Monday, since we're arriving so late, or Friday, since we're leaving early). We've got matching t-shirts for one of the days (they say "Me Me Me Spoiled Princess Week" on them) and semi-matching shirts for another (same design but different colors), and also got a group Disneybound together. I'm going as Briar Rose, my sisters and friend are going as the three fairies, and my SiL is going as Maleficent. It's going to be epic.OP, how long is your trip?
YES! This just happened to me! Also in shock and so excited! It’s our first DL trip! Yay for pixie dust!!!
I was hoping someone else was in the same boat! Did you make your reservation a while ago? We reserved in January. The only thing we can figure is that we got a good rate and it made sense for them to move us, even if they're losing money on what the GCH room would usually go for, and sell our room at PPH for a higher rate. Otherwise it doesn't make financial sense to give us a more expensive room.
Also we’re Disneybounding as Briar Rose and Prince Phillip (for my 6 year old son). I think we’re there the same dates so I’ll look for you!
We actually arrive June 1st and are spending 3 nights at the HOJO first.
..... they are giving us a complimentary upgrade to Grand Californian premium view......
.
yeah for pixie dust.
So Does this mean they upgraded you from the PP Hotel to GC Hotel? or does this mean they upgraded your view from "theme-park view" at PPH to a "Grand California hotel view" at PPH ?
We got upgraded from PPH to GCH as well!!!! I cried on the phone when they were telling me! Only 8 more days!So I decided to do a girls' trip to Disneyland for my 39th birthday with my two sisters, sister-in-law, and best friend. We decided to splurge and stay onsite, so we booked a theme-park view at the Paradise Pier (about as far as our budget could stretch). We'd hoped to miss the SW:GE craziness, but unfortunately my birthday is June 4, so we're actually right in the thick of the worst if it. We were glad we booked onsite, though! And our reservations are for my birthday at 8 am! We're so excited.
Tonight, my friend (who made the hotel reservation) got a call from Disney. She almost didn't answer it, but they called twice from the same number, so she picked it up. Apparently, they have "such a high volume of people trying to come" that they are giving us a complimentary upgrade to Grand Californian premium view.
What the heck? I'm still in shock. They must have overbooked.
This is going to be the best trip EVER.
Same!! We are THRILLED!!YES! This just happened to me! Also in shock and so excited! It’s our first DL trip! Yay for pixie dust!!!
