While I and my 11 DS tried to beat them walking home, it was pretty much a draw. But the time I switched with DH and rode in the shuttle it was cold and drizzling, I loved every moment in that shuttle! I just booked our trip in late Nov. at the CCI, my husband and boys attend the Gencon conferance and it is very easy to get to the convention center from CCI. Now that my boys are older, we don't need as much floor space, I used to bring a plastic tub of toys for them to spread out and decompress with. HOJO's has more floor space in some of their rooms. I like CCI because it's cozy, I like the look and feel of the shutters and where it's located, half way in between the the two places we have to go. I wouldn't want you to be disappointed because you weren't aware of the more cozy room size, 6 could be tight.

That said, don't get my wrong CCI is still my first choice...

When I first saw them again at CCI, I was so excited!!! quincytoo...Is the "special room" where they have all the extra bananas, cereals, etc...over on the west side of the dining area? They should have one of those little windows in the door--like they did in the back rooms during prohibition days!

Originally Posted By 1Gee1 As far as I know, they have two sizes of rooms at CCI. One is the standard room; the other is a larger room with a microwave and refrigerator.

With two teenage boys and Grandma, I wouldn't want any less than that larger room. I've requested "connecting" rooms before and was told they didn't have them at CCI.

Originally Posted By I Heart Disneyland According to the CCI website, they have regular, deluxe and premium rooms. I have not stayed there yet so i cannot tell you much more. I do have a reservation for Feb. with connection rooms and they told me that only the deluxe and premium are set up for connecting rooms.
Originally Posted By CdnDisneyFan Speaking of the frosted muffins, I asked about them, and some guy at front desk (didn't get his name) said that the company that supplied them to the hotel closed, so no more frosted muffins. Also, even TWO people in a regular room is cozy, lol, we loved it though, and will definitely go back for sure!! Jules
