SAVE THIS DATE! ***UPDATE: This hotel rate is SOLD OUT PLEASE DON'T EMAIL SHANGZ about it! You can still come to the birthday party though! We will be celebrating MouseWait's Second Birthday on October 23! Shangz has already secured a crazy rate at the Grand Californian for only $189 per night! Join us as we take over the Grand and have a blast. If you've never stayed at the GCH, this is your chance - there is nothing like it - you are footsteps away from the park, the grounds are immaculate, the rooms have that "clean" smell to them, and staying with a big group of MouseWaiters is a blast - just ask everyone who stayed at the Disneyland Hotel for the Reunion!
Wow! That's an amazing deal! If we didn't live down the street I'd be there in a heartbeat! Maybe I can create a flash flood in our apt that weekend... Hmmmm - bellapistola

270.8 #820 11:19PM
I want to do this... 1. Is there a deadline to book? 2. If we fly in a day or two early and leave a day or two later, can we get that rate the whole 4-5 days? 3. I love MW. - TandAlly
213.5 #1442 11:19PM

921.5 #95 11:25PM

309.6 #565 11:37PM
My oldest son's b-day is Oct 20th so I'm going to try REALLY hard to make it for this! - iDreamAboutDumbo
307.3 #575 11:37PM
Haha Tinky76 our real anniversary is the 22nd, but my mother-in-laws bday is that day and she made such a big stink about it that we celebrate it on the 23rd she's a little nutty - TandAlly
213.5 #1442 11:40PM
Woohoo!!!! Way to go Johnny!!! ....we will make a large effort to actually make it this year - AuzRoxUrSox
901.8 #98 11:40PM
TandAlly my oldest son was born on my baby sister's 5the bday and my step mom threw a fit, didn't come to the hospital, and still 12 yrs later is bent out of shape about it. Like I had any control!!! So we always celebrate my son's on 4th of July and my sister's on the 5th(the real day) - Mrsblue
692.4 #146 11:45PM
Isn't it awful mrsblue?! How selfish can people be?! To top it all off, my husbands mom never did anything for his birthday his whole life. Never had a party, no birthday card, even now she won't even pick up the phone and call him. But we can't get married on her birthday, no way! - TandAlly
213.5 #1442 11:49PM
Wow, what a great rate!!! I'm so there. - WhatHappensInDisneyland
2201.9 #30 11:53PM
Lol! I asked her once what did you want me to do? She said you could have held out 6 more hours! Srsly! The kid weighed 9lbs he didn't fit anymore. Lol - Mrsblue
692.4 #146 11:55PM
Ahhhhh! what an awful person!!! There's no keepin' in a baby that doesn't want to be there! Seriously!! About ten years ago my MIL asked my hubby (then boyfriend) if he wanted to go to the beach with her and his sis. He declined, didn't want to take the time off work. Turned out what she meant by "beach" was "Hawaii" - TandAlly
213.5 #1442 11:58PM
My stepmonster and your MIL should hang out. Lol - Mrsblue
692.4 #146 11:59PM
What siZe is the room, I mean is that one bed? I might try and bring a friend and split the cost! Would be sooo fun to party all night and not have to drive home! - Zipitydoodahdad
258.1 #928 12:00AM
What a lot of fun-ness to celebrate!! Great day to be born, mommadisneyfan ;) and mrs. blue and tandally - that's crazy! You both are the better person to celebrate on different days! Kudos to your unselfishness! :) - PieRatAL
619.7 #176 12:00AM

309.6 #565 12:05AM
Is the 189.00 only good for only that night the 23rd??? - disneyland4me
231.3 #1227 12:06AM
I only live 15 minutes away, but this just gives me an excuse to stay the night there! - shewastomorrow
55.9 #3644 12:07AM
Wow, 189 for the Grand on a Sunday sounds like a deal! If you could stack that price with AAA or Military/Gov discount, That would be..Grand *pun intended* - CptKirk
697.1 #142 12:07AM
I am not sure as soon as Shangz has all the details ironed out he will post. Any questions can be emailed to him at the email above. - Mrsblue

228.2 #1274 3:58PM
But still!! Since its birthday we wont come. Even disney calls it anniversary. I was kinda upset when everyone was calling it disneylands "birthday" when disney called it anniversary. It could still be called MW anniversary lol! For our sake if even a few called it anniversary we would come lol. - ImAlwaysCrazy
646.4 #167 3:59PM
If you don't have a reservation @ the GCH; are we still able to go to reunion get together? - MWer_Lizzie
113.6 #2848 4:05PM
@shangz... sorry im still learning but what does hotel list closed mean? - pintsize
287.8 #684 4:05PM
@lizzie. Yes you can still go to the reunion. @pintsize. It means they have the max amount of rooms sold and the rooms are now sold out. So the list is now closed. - ImAlwaysCrazy
646.4 #167 4:15PM
And still if even one person calls it anniversary i will justify going!! lol - ImAlwaysCrazy
646.4 #167 4:16PM
Call it what ya want imAlwaysCrazy... It's really just an excuse to hang out with our MW family in a fun, party-like setting!! ;) - JenAnneWho

@imalwayscrazy... so you're going to the anniversary?! Lol - pintsize

646.4 #167 4:38PM
Btw if you were not able to make it to the reunion. It was amazingly epic and so much fun! MWers are such fun to hang with! - ImAlwaysCrazy
646.4 #167 4:40PM
Birthday or anniversary...who cares! It's a meetup. If you need to call it something else to justify it then do so but don't make everyone else call it what you want just so you can justify going. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MW! - KissDclown

627.4 #174 5:15PM
Calling a lamp a tv won't turn it in to one. The same with calling a Birthday an Anniversary. When you are dealing with stuff like that going for the loophole is a sketchy issue. It is still a birthday because Admin says so - Dahulagirl
1053.2 #81 5:21PM
Hey IAmAlwaysCrazy! Can't wait to see you at the MW anniversary! :) - TandAlly
