Two things stand out for me in over 20 years of trips. First one was maybe 10 years ago. DH & I were headed to MK for late night EMH. I think we had eaten dinner at Epcot & took the monorail to the TTC. It was near regular closing time for MK. We decided to take the ferry over since we had plenty of time & hadn't ridden it in years. There were only about 10 other people on the ferry. About half way to MK, the fireworks started. The captain stopped the boat until they were over. DH & I were on the lower right side with only 3 other people. It was like having the fireworks just for us!
In January of 2015, we were staying at YC & I called to book a bounceback trip for December. We booked a split stay at Contemporary & Yacht Club, both club level rooms. The CM was very sweet & chatty. When she asked if we would be celebrating anything, I said yes, my DH's 60th birthday. I told her we were going to
Disneyland in September for their 60th celebration. And that even tho we'd be at WDW 3 weeks before DH's actual b-day, we were going to follow Disney's lead & celebrate for a year. She remarked several times that she was noting his birthday, because you never know what pixie dust/ magic might happen.
I didn't think another thing about it til we checked into the Contemporary resort. We were upgraded from a standard King club level room to a 2 bedroom suite! Living room, dining room, 3 full bathrooms & a Christmas tree in the room!!
We checked out after 3 nights & moved onto the YC for the rest of the week. We were in complete shock when the CM checking us in told us we had been upgraded. And to the largest suite in the YC - The Captain's Deck!! This suite had a marble foyer, large bedroom with 2 queen beds, living room, dining room with seating for 10, master bedroom with King canopy bed, whirlpool tub, 3 patios, office area & many more amenities. We were blown away! We never experienced anything like that before & certainly never expected such a magical trip! I can't say for sure, but I really suspect that the CM who booked my bounceback had something to do with our upgrades. We will never forget that trip!!
