New to DL, WDW expert

You definitely got a promo rate. How many nights are you staying? Does your daughter get CM discounts at the hotels? When my brother was in the WDW college program, he got us huge discounts - but that was a quarter century ago and I hear they no longer do that.

I saw a club level floor at GCH go for $750 over a weekend in January, but it was very last minute.
Yes, in the past year I could get a 50% discount with my DD's CM rate but yesterday was her last day and it only works if she's employeed by Disney at the time of the hotel stay. She's moving to NYC so boo hoo! I loved having a CM in the family :)

I think the rate I got for this upcoming trip was a March promo but I'll have to go back and look.

Man, what a great deal on GCH club level in Jan!! I didn't see that but I did take my grandson for his 15th birthday mid-Jan and got the 50% off deal for our stay thanks to my DD. I hope they have the last minute club deal next year--I'd be happy to fly down for my 70th birthday in Jan!
 
For first-time DL visitors, I heartily suggest having one sit-down meal at the Blue Bayou inside Pirates of the Caribbean.
This x 10! Also, think about Carthay Circle Restaurant, our favorite place in either Cali or Florida. Old Hollywood atmosphere just oozes out of the walls.

Wow, that’s amazing to hear! No doubt she’s going onto bigger and better things, although I’m sure the benefits will be missed!

You deserve something special for your 70th. Have you considered a Disney cruise? They sail out of Florida, Houston and Australia in January - California doesn’t begin until March when the ship comes back from Australia. The good news is that the Houston (Galveston) sailings in January are often at bargain prices (for Disney anyway, you have to wait until later in the year for the discount pricing). I highly recommend, you’d be hooked!

Well, one can hope that there will be bigger and better things, but yes, the benefits were incredible. I think I appreciated them more than she did :) She did get signed to a great NY company (she's in musical theater) and has a job as a nanny for the kids of other theater people in between shows (this is arranged through the theater company), but she also just got a final call-back for a cruise line so I have stopped trying to figure out what she'll be doing when, LOL. Last year she was on a national tour that ended at the Pantages so it was fun to see that, but it's not a career for those looking for security and it wears me out just trying to keep up.

I LOVE the idea of a Disney cruise! I've never been on one. Thanks for the idea, and I may have some questions for you later!

Sounds like she enjoys adventure! Hopefully she’ll get the cruise ship gig - I always thought it’s be fun (if you’re an entertainer at least). Maybe you could celebrate your 70th on her ship! I’d still highly recommend a DCL cruise!
