Yes, they tried to persuade them (including having a DVD player with the prize on it). If they didn't keep trying, it wouldn't have happened. BUT, the Dream people will eventually give up on one and move on. Someone is supposed to be in the lobby the whole time. We weren't in the suite during the fireworks, but it wouldn't have been interesting anyway since you can't see much out the windows. I wear earplugs, but when they weren't in, I didn't hear anything outside. We didn't ask for room service, but it sounded like we could have asked for something if inclined. Nope, no leaving the suite. The toilet is fine, I'm not sure I'd want one in my house. But I would want the tub. We were able to stay out until all other guests left. You get to the room by elevator, always escorted. We were given room keys, which is VERY cool. Nothing else is right there that I saw, someone on another board said that they used to dress in that room before shows (before it was a suite)). Denise |

Re: I slept in the castle Saturday night...
I would personally equate the experience a bit to staying on Mont St. Michel in France, which is a very amazing thing to do. Only some people get to stay there on the Mont, I think there are 3 small hotels. So it's like having a private island (but not concierge!) The buildings there are very old, so it's sort of castly. :) But I could leave the room when I wanted.

Thanks for the link, and for sharing the photos -- the shots of the park in the fog are beautiful!

I want to see pictures & hear stories about 'Le Mont!!' I am VERY jealous!!! But also SO happy it was a fellow MB member who won. Which hotel did you stay at on Le Mont? And if you say the Relais or La Mere Poulard, I am never talking to you again. I kid, I kid.

Only one One ONE family gets to stay at the Castle, you can't book it, you can't pull strings to get there, you can't pay big bucks to reserve it and it doesn't even happen every night!!!!This was a once in a lifetime, one in a million magical gift!!! You are so lucky, and I am so jealous! I would compare it more to if Laura Bush were to walk up to a Washington DC tourist one afternoon and ask them if they'd be interested in sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom that night! After reading the close call you had when your almost said no, I took time to make sure DH knows that if he is ever approached by the Dream Team, that he is absolutely supposed to say a definite YES PLEASE! to whatever they are offering (of course, the kids already know this!!! ) If he said no to a Castle night, I think I might consider D-I-V-O- (well, you know!...) I had other questions too... - If you are staying on poperty, do they keep your regular resort room for you so you can leave most of your stuff in it during your Castle stay and then move right back in the next day? - How soon do you have to be out the next morning? - Do they help you with transportation back to your resort to get your stuff and then back into the park for your Castle stay? - Though you had a park pass for the day you win, do you need a park pass for the next day also, or do you wake up and leave your stuff in a locker and just go play at the park without a pass? ------ I am sure I will have loads more questions!!! Thanks so much for answering!!! ![]()
