From what I am reading from everyone I see this place takes pride in making people welcome and as comfortable as possible. AND yes all the pennies count for me.

Yes I been watching the ho cam. First I didn't get it where it located. Pretty cool.

I called this morning and talked to Jennifer. I originally wanted Aug 2-4. But the rate was not available. She helped me and found out that the rate was available for Sun July 30th and Mon July 31. So I booked!!! She told me that their contract with Entertainment is valid as long as they are under 80% occupancy.

I am taking my daughter and her friend before they start school on the 7th. So anytime before then worked for me.

I was in Disneyland earlier in July and Sunday and Monday was not crowded at all. I am so excited.

Thank you hondo! I'll call in the morning. The girl had told me to wait til mid-August for my dates - Sept 8 & 9 - but I figured that might be too late!

I'll report tomorrow. I think you can only get the hotel directly between 9 and 5.

I just looked on biddingfortravel.com and saw that a lot of people are getting 3 stars in DL area for around $50. That's encouraging!

ilv, I haven't seen your email yet but will keep checking. Thanks!

allthingsdisney, I'd love to hear what you get for your dates. I'm guessing the $49 rate isn't available on Fri-Sat only.
