I'm on a Disneyland Paris fb group and a few years ago, a couple posted their Disney honeymoon story on the group. They had booked a regular castle club room (concierge) at the Disneyland hotel. At check in, the CM sadly had to 'disappoint' them that their room was overbooked, but they had an alternative... the CM led them through the hotel and they stopped at the door of the Sleeping Beauty Suite and they got to stay their for their entire trip! That must've been the best honeymoon anyone could have!
I had a similar but not equally as glorious experience... Check in app port Orleans French quarter. They had to make alternative arrangements for me at the grand Floridian.. Best surprise upgrade ever
I can just imagine what it would look like! The HM wallpaper, paintings of the various ghosts you'll encounter in the ride, mirrors that seem endless, the blue china that you find in the ballroom, and instead of a vase or whatever as a decoration, you have Madame Leota's crystal ball! And, you know how the windows in Galactic Starcruiser are projections of space? Have the same thing with the HM suite, but it'd be out looking the graveyard! Heck, have a shelf with figures of the hitch-hiking ghosts, and a hatstand with the Hatbox ghost's hat, cape, and hatbox!
`That is a good idea, but that would terrify me. What if I woke up, because I had a bad dream, and to make it even better, there are ghosts and other creepy things right next to my face.
If you work for Disney they give cast member %50 off and the friend and relatives %40 off. Plus main gate passes for up to 3 friends. Family get passes for year round except some block out dates. Now Disney also pays %100 of your college tuition. No strings...you just have to work for Disney. So...see you soon!
@@abutestes1855 I just booked a 3 day stay at Port Orleans Royal Princess room with a garden view for $211 taxes included. Half down 105 the rest due at check in. Just call The Cast member reservation line. I also booked a room for my son. Disney Aspire program pays %100 college tuition. I may upload a video on my channel to talk about or show me enjoying myself this August.
They should have a Tower Of Terror suite! It would be decorated in a 1930s style hotel room, which would be very fitting as the story takes place in an abandoned hotel. The doorbell would be either the Twilight Zone theme or a lightning clash. There would be a ton of pictures of the HTH and maybe add some nods to the Twilight Zone, heck, add some more backstory, like have a secret drawer that has a bunch of details about the hotel's construction, facts about the hotel, etc. It could be a totally immersive experience!
The room I really wanted to stay in was Tokyo Disney’s Kingdom Hearts hotel room! It wasn’t a grand room or anything, but it did have light theming including Sora, Riku, and Mickey, along with featuring a keyblade room key! It looked so amazing, but sadly it was only a limited time event celebrating the release of KH3. Still, it was nice to see Disney acknowledge the series again
Maria Mills-Benat WOW !! Lucky girl !! When u say a Disney magic upgrade ...do u mean they surprised you and gave it to you for the price of your reg room ? I ask because one time about 14 yrs ago the cast members at yacht club upgraded us to concierge as part of a promotion that yr when they were giving people at random “ extra magic “ ....it was soooo awesome !!
@@genayares244 Yes, they upgraded us because it was off season and they weren't busy, sadly it was shortly after 9/11 and many people had cancelled their vacations, the place was practically empty
@@hotmessmagicalexpress Of all the places shown, I thought the two most beautiful were the Presidential Suite at the Contemporary and the one at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Even though sort of complete opposites of each other, both look incredibly gorgeous. It’s so awesome you got to stay at one of them! What is your favorite restaurant(s) at WDW?
I mean if you were going to spend a month straight in disney, you'd just get an annual pass, and find somewhere cheap nearby to stay. i doubt you spent your time in luxury hotels with fine dining the whole month.
The Cinderella Castle Suite wasn't meant to be Walt's WDW Apartment. He passed away a few months prior to ground breaking in Orlando, so it was never intended for him. Just wanted to clarify! It's a common misconception about the suite
I was on the opening team of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at the castle location, and our managers once surprised us with a tour of the Cinderella Castle Suite- it looks amazing! Before they built the suite, that space was used as an entertainment breakroom. I actually used to hang out there a lot when I worked in WDW Entertainment in the restaurant. One time, they let use peek down at the Main Street Electrical Parade from a tiny window. It was the coolest view!
When my husband returned from a deployment in Afghanistan we went and stayed at Disney. While he was gone he wrote Cinderella asking if we could stay in the castle instead they upgraded us from a regular room at Boardwalk to the Steeplechase Suite for our 7 night stay! It was amazing!
Lauren Cliver some people actually stay in those cheap crummy $50/night motels. Not worth it imo because when you get HIV from stepping on a needle or disease from bed bugs you’re going to be more than making up the difference in $ at the hospital.
Just a comment on the DVC Poly Bungalos - they are LOUD. You hear all the ferries starting st 5:30 in the morning and until late at night. Cool views and gorgeous, but they have a downside. My preference is the Wilderness lodge bungalos. They don’t have as great of a view but are way more relaxing.
My dad works during the food and wine event at Disney so they hook us up. We get all the suites in Disney world. The best is probably the African one or boardwalk. We got an entire room dedicated to chess.
The Adventureland suite is officially on my bucket list! I absolutely LOVE the Socitey of Explorers and Adventurers and I'm sure it'd be amazing to stay in such a thematic place!
Throwback to the time my family was at Disneyland and a pipe burst in our hotel room flooding everything so they let us stay in the adventure land suite and the Mickey Mouse penthouse!!!! The adventure land suite was so much fun!! My favorite part was that you could play music throughout the rooms. I loved putting on the classic Disney songs but you could also do safari type sounds!
Our room at Animal Kingdom Lodge was not one of these ultra awesome rooms, but it was still decorated beautifully, with a view of the animals, and is so far my favorite room at WDW!
Great video! I love these videos about the fancy hotel things I'll never see because I can't afford it. It gives me a peek in without having to cough up the dough. Thanks!!
The poly bungalows have been on my bucket list since they were built...... and they may stay 'unchecked' off for.....well......forever LOL! But a girl can dream.
I also love to watch videos of beautiful hotel rooms and suits. My favorite by far is Cinderella’s Suite in the Castle in Magic Kingdom. I just wish I were someone important and/or filthy rich! Thank you for a lovely video. I’ll dream about them tonight!
My bucket list includes the Adventureland Suite at Disneyland, any view suite at the Contemporary Resort WDW, a treehouse villa at Saratoga Sprigs WDW, a Copper Creek Cabin villa at the Wilderness Lodge WDW, and the Sleeping Beauty Suite at Disneyland Paris hotel. It really would take a lottery win to make them happen, but I'd spend that much to give my family a few 'memories of a lifetime'
I've stayed in the Sleeping Beauty Suite! It's amazing alright! The counters in the bathroom light up and change colors like they do in the bathtub area. TV's are hidden in the mirrors. A TV pops up out of the piece of furniture that looks like a dresser at the end of the bed. Amazing View of Downtown Disney. True princess theme feel to the suite!
You'll love the Miracosta! I stayed in the balcony room harbor side. I was able to walk onto my balcony and watch the shows that happened on the water! Watching the volcano go off during breakfast on the balcony wasn't a bad view either!
All of these rooms are gorgeous, especially the Disneyland hotel. Even after all that, I'd stay at "home". Home being the bungalows at The Poly. I just love my DVC home Resort.
Love that fairy take room in Disneyland would love to stay there one day! I would love to recreate that room in my bedroom maybe on a smaller scale and budget of course😊 hope everyone has a great day
Wow .. hard choice … but I'm going with the Mickey Mouse Penthouse at the DLH - it just makes me so happy with all the *Disney* touches … guess it brings out the child in me LOL
Can you please mention how important it is to leave a tip for the server at a restaurant while on the Disney dining plan. So many people think the dining plan includes tips and they leave nothing for the server
In fairness, at one time, the dining plan did include gratuities for the wait staff, which made it a much better deal actually, and you could leave your table service dinner guilt-free knowing the servers had been taken care of. It's a shame they cut out that dining plan feature.
She mentions this a lot in several of her videos. We we're also aware because we read through the details that Disney posted about it on their site. Maybe Disney should start adding gratuity to the bill if people are paying with the dining plan and then people can pay cash/card for the gratuity amount. I feel like that could help. Or servers could make sure to mention it when people are paying with the dining plan. I'm not sure how to get the message across, unfortunately. My husband and I always tip very well with or without a dining plan. I was a server before so I always try to remember how hard the job was somedays. Even when we get bad service, I try to remember the bad days I had when my boss was being a jerk or I was away from my kid because they wouldn't give me requested time off. Servers are important to any dining experience!
Got to stay for a couple of nights in the bungalows at Polynesian. Room was AMAZING and I can't say enough about the view, BUT....... We were situated near the boat dock that goes across to Magic Kingdom and the blared the horn every time they came and went well past midnight. Not super great for little ones trying to sleep. You'd think for that kind of room they'd have better soundproofing.
Stayed at the Treehouse Villas with my entire family (10 of us) and we absolutely adored it. Quite close to Disney Springs, so it was nice to walk around, and the decor and rooms were so fun! We had an absolute blast, and it didn't cost us a fortune! Totally recommend that for anyone who wants to have fun in a fun themed suite but for a low price!
We were upgraded to the Grand Suite at the Grand Floridian..It was awesome. We extended the stay an extra night for 5 nights there. We didn't want to leave the room. Also stayed at the cottages at the Boardwalk.They were wonderful as well.
@@laurahaas4159 I wish I could tell you. We were staying at club level...the cast member escorted us to our room...and we kept walking down the hall to this kind of cul de sac at the end of the hall and double doors...and she opens it up and it's the Grand Suite. It wasn't a special occasion and we didn't ask for it.... I imagine you can ask at check in if there are upgrades available...we were just very, very lucky...
I keep finding rumors about the Haunted Mansion hotel room that allegedly *almost* happened... but never did. That Adventure Land room looks awfully nice, but if could stay at any *one* awesome Disney hotel room it would either be at a) the new Star Wars hotel or b) the new Marvel hotel in Paris.
My favorite room to stay in is the 3 bedroom Grand Villa in Old Key West..don't judge me! I just like that you have an upstairs and downstairs to yourself..it's like staying in a full out house for a few nights
My husband and I used our DVC points to stay in a Polynesian Bungalow this past May, for one night after a Disney cruise. It was the best night’s sleep that I had that entire trip! The king bed in the master bedroom really is a king size bed and the mattress was amazing. We couldn’t enjoy our deck as much as we had planned because of the love bugs, but we were still able to watch Happily Ever After and the Electrical Water Pageant outside that night. Amazing experience!
You forgot one, the Newport Suite at the Beach Club! It is beautiful, I got the opportunity to stay there several years ago. It was amazing to watch the fireworks from Epcot. Also the beautiful decor. For a large suite it was very welcoming.
I find myself the most interested in those Treehouse Villas, and not for the price either. They all look beautifully themed, in the middle of a gorgeous forested area, and that price point is also a very welcomed sight.
My top pick would be the suite in the castle in Magic Kingdom. It’s fitting that it’s in Fantasyland, because it would take nothing less than true magic for me to be able to afford to stay there!
Not sure why Disney feels the need to charge so much for everything lately. My family and I love all things Disney. In fact, my wife and I were Disneyland annual pass holders for 12 years before prices got so high we couldn’t afford it anymore. Now we can only afford to go once a year with our kids, sometimes every other year. We would love to take our kids to one of these themed hotel rooms, but we can no longer afford to pay for the Disneyland day tickets, pay for food, pay for souvenirs, and pay for hotel stay at a regular Disneyland hotel room. Just wish that Disney would try to think about the families more than making more for the experience. It is nice to dream about though!😊
my wife and I are huge disney weird-o's... and have gone every year for the past 20yrs.... the easy answer is straight up greed just like every business that big.... its truly sad :(
There are arguments are whether or not he designed the plans for the MK at WDW. I feel like only Disneylanders would care because they feel unique being the original park Walt walked in.
Hotel Miracosta is one of the finest hotels Disney Imagineering has ever built. Got the chance to stay here for 2 nights and will never forget that stay.
A little bit of misinformation. The Castle Dream suite could not have been another Apartment for Walt, as he died before construction on the park even began! Although Walt might've wanted to put an apartment for himself while planning EPCOT as the futuristic city, there's little evidence of that. The Dream Suite was most likely empty space that Imagineers didn't want to put to waste. Besides, the Sleeping Beauty walkthrough in Cali was born because of empty space in the castle Walt didn't want to put to waste.
When my mom worked for Walt Disney World way back in the day she got to live in the boardwalk suite for almost two months because they transferred her from Disneyland Paris! What a dream come true!
AJ, does Shanghai Disney have any suites like what you've shown us? -- And the closest I'd ever get to being in one of those outrageously expensive suites would be if I worked there as a housekeeper! lol.
I actually just went to Tokyo Disney about 3 weeks ago and stayed at the Miracosta. What a beautiful hotel, we had a view of the gondolas and Disney sea was by far my favorite Disney park I have ever visited, and also home to some of the best Disney snacks!!
I would love to stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite in WDW or the Pirates suite in DLR! More realistically, maybe someday we'll save up our DVC points and be able to afford one night in a Poly bungalow...LOL
No contest, I want to stay in Cinderella's Castle.Though, the only thing I don't like about it was who's bright idea was it to make a square toilet seat?
As long as I has a shower and good bed I do not really care about how fancy the suites are or how themed they be even if it would be cool to walk into them and see how they look. What I am after is experiences and I would love to visit that 21 restaurant and have all that amazing food. But what would really tend to my musical heart is a stay in a "Theatre" or "Musical" suite where you can see youre private stage show in the room with youre choice of acts and characters from the parks while eating stunning in suite dinner and breakfast. It would be like having the best character dinner combined with a stage show of youre choice in the hotel room. I am not sure how that would work in terms of security and planning but for me as a theatre and cos play geek it would be heaven. Johan.
I had the incredible pleasure to stay 2 nights in the Big Thunder Mountain Suite at the Disneyland Hotel in Nov 2018. What the video did not say was that also included with these themed suite rooms was VIP experiences at the parades, fireworks, and other night time spectaculars. Im talking reserved front row....Amazing
The old key west rooms are my fav. It feels like a condo, because there are only 4 rooms per building, and being the oldest DVC resort the rooms are huge compared to other resorts(we do the one bedroom suite, it’s like a small apartment) the balcony alone is 4 times larger than the standard balconies.
Since I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Mickey so much, I would stay in The Mickey Mouse Penthouse! The Sleeping Beauty Suite in Disneyland Paris looks great too! HOPE that one day that you'll get to use one of these suites one day, Dearest AJ!
As a kid in So. Cal. I had an Annual Pass for years, and loved to go into 21 Royal when it was a gallery. They often had free postcard prints of the artwork they gave away for free, and having an extensive Disney postcard collection, I still have many of them.
I have stayed with my crew in the treehouses. My recommendation is if you’re staying here plan a little extra transportation time as you either have to take 2 busses to the park - one to Saratoga proper and one to the park itself - or walk to the grandstand and go from there.
Awesome stuff, I spent 30 years living in Orange County and never once was able to see "The near by San Bernardino Mountains" must have been the Cleveland National Forrest between OC and Lake Elsinore cause San Bernardino is not near by or easy to see until you get to Riverside.
Actually beyond the parks, I'd love to stay in one of the gorgeous suites on any of the Disney ships. They are beautiful. But one of the Walt or Roy suites on the Magic or Wonder or Royal Suites on the Dream or Fantasy.
