Cinderella Castle Stay
in [Disney Parks]
|
From: Wilde Oscar on 26 Jan 2007 07:45 I have to agree, what are the logistics for 911, or an ambulance, or getting to early Chef Mickey's reservations the next morning. Do ya wake up get ready and just walk out into the park? That might mean that a nights stay in the castle gets ya free admission to the MK the next morning? At what time do ya end up on "lock down" so to speak? It would seem that after dinner ya get shuffled off to the special fire works location, then shuffled up to the room? They know they have to award this early in a day, cause someone has to go get toiletries and a change of cloths... not to mention they would have to not be leaving that day... this all does nothing to change the fact that I hear that YoaMD commercial in my dreams it is on so often. It does seem like it was an executive decision, that was not fully formed. At this point they hopefully have the details worked out... I imagine that the first lucky family is finding this all out right about now.

There is a limo standing by if the family wants to go to DTD (see a movie, shop, etc.) for example. They cant go roam the park, but they can leave the park and go somewhere if they choose. The following morning, they have breakfast at Crystal Palace. There are a lot of rumors floating around that the suite will be used for Fairytale Weddings after YOAMD. -a

One thing I would be interested in is how many hours of the day the park is actually completely unmanned - I suspect very little as I believe a lot of maintanence goes on at night.

Do you have to stay in the room until the park opens? I'm getting visions of the room where Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned in the Tower of London. It was a nice enough room, but he was still locked in. Dave in Dallas - The one and only! Accept no substitutes.
