I would also like to stay in one of the DL hotels...not the GC though for $340 a night. I guess Floridians and WDW AP holders don't get discounts out there.
Well, one week apart then (oh, and BTW, 1986 - I am really messing up my dates). Did not see England at first so I guess our Memorial Day is not coincident with a Holiday across the pond. Do you have reason to think the Transatlantic will be more rocky?

Hello everyone.
We're IN!!! Talked to the family last night and we're all in agreement that it will be the May repo for us.
I can't wait to be booked so we can really feel like we're going!!!
How crazy do you guys think it will be to book on the 31st?
Will the phone lines be jammed that morning?
DL will be packed and it is not unusual for them to reach capacity and limit admission later on in the day. Also, many of the fastpasses are gone or extremely limited in use. Mouseplanet.com or miceage.com both keep up info on those items as well as items going down for rehap. DCA takes about 1/2 a day to a full day and does not have much in the way of rides for small children. If DL is closed off to admissions, then they will turn people to DCL and it will get very crowded. The Howard Johnson's across the street from the old DL main entrance is a great alternative for the budget minded. The rooms tend to be a little larger and they have a couple of pools. You can also see part of the fire works show from your hotel balcony. Free parking for guests of the hotel and you can walk across the street to DL entrance, and it is about the same distance as walking to the DL hotel (GC is closer because it is in DCA and DTD).
Don't forget that you are also close enough to do Knott's Berry Farm if so inclined.
Will the phone lines be busy? You have got to be kidding...expect to be on hold for possibly hours...last time they had over 500 people in the queue, and when you tried calling in, you got the all circuits are busy please try again. I highly recommend you get a travel agent who can devote the day to sitting on hold and making your ressies for you. If you need references, myself or any of the other people on this forum I am sure could send you in the right direction.
Angie we are doing most of the Tuesday, and if I can't get a good flight I might just have to stay an extra night in a normal room, oh what will I do, lol.
