here is a good perk to know........... do they sell canadian beer down there???? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D .........cause that would definitly be a perk if they did haha.......

 

is Canadian beer good??? well iguess it can't be worse than American beer...lol

 

It's suposted to be better than American beer, I'm pretty sure it has more alcohol in it.

THe Canada pavilion sells Molson if I remember correctly.

 

saaaaaweeeeeeeeeetttttt molson will do...ya canadian beer has more alcohal in it then american beer......

 

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of beer, but I do hope I have the night of July 1st off so I can see the Epcot fireworks from Canada with a Molson in one hand lol.

 

That sounds like an awsome idea Jordan......July 1st is always so much fun it will be interesting to spend it at Disney

 

Yup I'm really hoping if I can't swing getting the day off I can at least get the evening off, and then spend it at the next best thing, the Canada pavilion at epcot with some Canadian clothing and real Canadians

 

*is a regular CP*

In fact we got our MainGates before our ID's...
But we only get 6 days on them, not 12

 

Cool thanks Lou.

Only six days though, that kinda sux. I guess it's not too bad though since I'll get my new one exactly half way through my contract.

Just a heads up about room reservations...

My daughter was part of the May 14 ICP group and as soon as she could, she logged into the portal to book rooms for us to come down. As it turns out, the availability of rooms is VERY LIMITED! The only option available for us was AKL which is a deluxe. I was wanting a value and ended up booking it myself with no CM discount. She was asking her trainer about it and he said there are only a certain # of rooms at certain resorts and that's it that's all. The deluxe resorts seem to be what is available as she was able to book us in at the Beach Club for two days later in August when we go down to pick her up. That was the only resort that came up when she punched in the dates.

So, in theory the discount sounds great, but don't count on getting a value, let alone anything else depending on timing!

 

Well... it makes sense though... the value resorts prices are much more affordable for anyone so it makes sense that those are really hard to get... The deluxe's prices, even with the discount, are CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY!!!!!!!!!!!! Though I get why since I've been told those hotels are incredibly amazing...
oh well... I guess we'll have to start booking our friends' hotel room right away hahaha just in case

 

Do you guys know what kind of beer is sold in the German Pavillon???
I had a very good memory of German beer..
...it's fabulous!!! LOL ;D

 

Just to clear up a falsity...Canadian beer and American beers are generally all of the same alcoholic content now. The American beers used to have a lower alchol content but that has been changed since the american population started coming to Canada and drinking good beer.

 

i had a friend working at epcot last year and he was able to get us all discounts at the value hotels. we booked it about 3 months before the trip. but then he booked my sister's honeymoon too and that was about 3 weeks beforehand! I guess spaces do fill quickly and it just depends when and where!

 

Indeed Kala. During my year, I had folks staying at Pop Century, the All Stars, Port Orleans French Quarter & Coronado Springs.

Remember you can only book for 7 nights per booking. 'Tis a bit of a pain for us folks from farther afield as our folks tend to stay for a bit longer. You can however, just make two (or more! ) bookings to cover the duration of their stay. It just may involve a bit of checking out and checking in.

But it depends entirely on the time of year, availability and how far you book ahead. Def. try to book with an open mind, otherwise you might (possibly :-\) be disappointed.
