Wish we had known about the super secret exit, only if to know a super secret, but the official DCA entrance and Downtown Disney did fine. The Monorail was being refurbed when we were there. We had a lovely dinner at Storyteller's but didn't get the breakfast. PetesDraggin (how cute is that) is dead right with the wonderful ability to just hop on over to your room if you get wet and chilly on the river ride, or whatever. And his last line is certainly true...I don't want to stay ANYWHERE else, but alas, don't have the fundage. (Seeking wealthy patron! Must fund GCH and Club 33 excursions. Will pay nicely with hugs, firm handshakes, and chocolate.

She sweetly, humbly, and not in a pushy way told me that I may want to reconsider my decision and trust her...that the GCH was the crown jewel. I am SO glad I did. I wish I had kept her name and information so I could have her commended. What a lovely sweet girl she was.... Enjoy...no regrets. You've truly been blessed!
