Just checking up to see if you've mentioned what you thought of the Holiday Inn on Hotel Plaza Blvd and don't think I have, so giving you a nudge
, also to find out how the PE experience was for you coming home. You've not put this somewhere else have you and I've missed it - always possible
?
Off to have a look at Matt's blog now to see what he had to say. I enjoyed your holiday, but not sure a
Disney cruise would be for me after all. Thanks for doing it all.
Hi Moira
HI was OK for nothing
I don't think there were more than half a dozen rooms taken, never saw anyone else about. Nice sized room free wireless net, safe, coffee maker, standard HI room just a little larger. Only downside was paying $10/nt for parking but checked my CC statement and they have only charged for 1 night, maybe because we booked 3 seperate nights using our airmiles (1 night in each name) it confused them. So $10 for 3 nights stay was OK, I used miles that were about to expire.
I joined their free priority club on last day which allowed us to check out at 2pm instead of 11am. Times worked really well then.
PE, I felt the seats were a little on the hard side, maybe because they are new, Matt & Karen thought they were OK, good leg room, nothing like Biz class but better than economy, not sure how they compare with old PE as we have never tried. IFE looked good, not something I bother with, no idea how anyone watches a movie on anything less than a 32" screen. Just listened to music but couldn't sleep due to a girl screaming as loud as poss 7 hours out of the 8, they said she had toothache, never heard a child scream like that for so long. Food was better than I expected and nice to be offered a glass of bubbly on boarding and a Baileys later in the flight, little things make all the difference.
Probably worth £50-75 each way extra to me, wouldn't pay anymore than that. I enjoyed the extra leg room in economy just as much. I am sure Matt wrote about his thoughts on his blog.
Cruise, I would say try one you never know. I told one of my customers to try a Disney cruise this summer around the Med, bearing in mind he is an accountant, dislikes Disney and not interested in cruising. I expected him coming back and saying he hated it, I saw him last week, he has booked on the new ship next year.
Keep reading Matt's blog, he is enjoying writing it, some days he has had almost 500 read it.
