I think any time you have alot of flowers, gardens, grass, bushes, etc tec you are going to get "pets"..... Candy Cane Inn is wonderful
Originally Posted By wonderingalice I've never seen meeses at the CCI and we've stayed there five separate times over 3 years - with another upcoming in December. But quincytoo is right... "pets" happen. Even at Disneyland.

I've got news for this person-if Disneyland has RATS-which it does-hence the ferral cats that they have-so do ALL of the surrounding areas. With the lush landscaping, palm trees and LOTS to eat-you will have rodents EVEN at the most expensive places!
Originally Posted By Disney Joy I could only laugh when I saw this topic. Not Again....You all can say whatever you want...CCI will never have me checking into a room - ever again. Rats falling in ceilings and running around on the walkways, up in trees. No Thanks.....I was at the Grand for a week.I didn't see no rats, and I don't see any trip advisor report about them in the trees. Maybe CCI should just get some cats.
Originally Posted By dlkozy >>>"No Thanks.....I was at the Grand for a week.I didn't see no rats, and I don't see any trip advisor report about them in the trees."<<< Sorry, you don't know too much about this type of rat that is so prevalent in LA and most of CA. Anytime you have food readily available and palm trees,lush gardens-you will have this type of roof rat-and they don't know that some hotels cost more than others. Don't look too carefully at DL if you are concerned about furry little creatures, running about. DL doesn't have cats because the cats that I have seen there look pretty fat and sassy!
Originally Posted By dlkozy >>>"DL doesn't have cats because the cats that I have seen there look pretty fat and sassy!"<<< OOPS-that was half a thought there! :0) It should have read-DL doesn't have cats because they just love cats! And the ones that I have seen look pretty fat and sassy!
