Ohhhhh! This is one of my favorite cakes I’ve ever seen on here! Just beautifu! Thanks so much for posting it. Those Mickey macarons were a great idea. They should sell them in the parks!

Does anyone happen to have any photos of a graduation cake Disney Dining has done for you? We just booked a last minute trip for the end of next month & I’d love to get a cake for my DD, who is graduating this year.

We also stayed at YC CL for the first time this summer & I felt just the same as you. It was a great experience for us as well and I enjoyed the YC even more than I’d ever imagined I would. It definitely rose towards the top of my list of resorts! So glad you had a wonderful time & thanks for...

Thanks for your reply! The CMs there in July were exceptional & part of the reason we enjoyed the Chronos Lounge. Ariel was super sweet to us so I hope she’s still there, too. I read that they added Mickey waffles to the breakfast now as well. It was already a great breakfast, but my teens will...

Hi there! Life has been keeping me from getting to check in here & I’ve enjoyed taking some time to catch up on things.:) We’re heading back to the Chronos lounge at CSR next Sunday the 27th(this time with the kids) & I just realized that I haven’t made a room request. This is totally unlike...

Lol. About TP, I know! I depend on that fax so much! I tried to do one for the new Tower anyway by deleting all of their pre-determined info, but it still kept trying to put me in a Cabanas room because I had to click *something* to start it up. I ended up just deleting it & seeing what we ended...

I didn’t know about the AKL evacuation. So sorry that happened. While ours was happening, I never freaked out because I kept thinking that it was probably just because it was a brand-new resort, just over a week old. With AKL under renovation, yours may have had something to do with that? Also...

For those of you who read my previous Gran Destino reviews, this also helps give a better idea of where our room was. If this were the 14th floor, our standard CL room would’ve been the one immediately to the right of the triangle suite on the left. Room 9433. Great view from there! Also—since...

Just wanted to add my thanks to everyone here. DH texted me as soon as he saw the email, but I had just gotten us registered 20 minutes before it came—around 10:30. I couldn’t have done it without this thread because it was all new to me, so thanks again!

You’re very welcome. :) We were impressed with how quick the elevators were, even when busy. The way you are actually assigned to an elevator after choosing a floor seems to help with that. And because the elevators are fast, getting to & fro around the resort is very easy. Although I never...

Hi again! Here’s a review & run-through of our lounge experience at Gran Destino CL from our recent stay, 7/17-7/21. First impression of lounge was great! Greeted by 3 friendly CMs at desk by door upon check-in. Door is glass with a glass surround. Magicband scanner is on adjacent wall for...

You’re welcome. And thanks for letting me know that. I still consider us relatively new to CL. :) I just thought it was interesting that we didn’t start out with all of those items on Day 1, but that they randomly appeared on the day that our room was skipped. ;) You also reminded me that I...

We just got back last night from a 4-night(Wed.-Sun.) CL stay at the new CSR Gran Destino Tower. It was just DH & me this time for a little get-away trip. We’re very familiar with CSR & have previously stayed there about 7 or 8 times over the years(including the old Business Class). However, in...

We were there the last week of June & I was told by a CL CM that they were taking out the bunk bed rooms and replacing most of them with king rooms because the resort is lacking in that area. Sad for the families who like bunk beds(which we used to be, when the kids were younger), but good news...

Thanks! I had wondered about the print-outs. I already know our plans well each trip, but I like them & think they’re a nice touch. On our most recent trip with my parents, I especially liked them bc I’m the planner of the group & had made all of their plans. Instead of sending them...

You can! :) We stayed there for the first time in November & that was one of my favorite parts of the lounge—watching Christmas party fireworks! You should get to see some special Halloween party ones, too, since you’ll be there that week. We’ll also be at WDW then, but are currently booked at...

I’ve seen pictures of it this week. We’ll be there on Wednesday with a firsthand report!:)

Hi! We’ve only ordered a cake at Disney four times, so I’m definitely not an expert, but your story was touching & I thought I’d share a couple of things that may help. First, I noticed on Page 1 that Goofy is one of the white chocolate characters you can get on a cake, so maybe that is an...

So glad to hear you enjoyed it!! My DH will also miss the ceiling fan, but we had a brief stay at YC, where there is also no ceiling fan, before moving to AKL last week & he was fine without it there, so we’ll adjust.;) Funny you should mention how nice the beds were bc that was our only...

That’s exciting! We got a great AP rate for last week & for this month, too, but I’d stick with the 2 bedroom if I were you, too. ;) Have a great trip!
