]]> http://kingdommagicagents.com/denise/?feed=rss2&p=487 0 Hang on to your Hats and Glasses…… New Big Thunder Suite at the Disneyland Hotel!! http://kingdommagicagents.com/denise/?p=484 http://kingdommagicagents.com/denise/?p=484#comments Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:10:55 +0000 Denise Lorentzen, CTA http://kingdommagicagents.com/denise/?p=484 Hang on to your hats and glasses because there’s a new signature suite at the Disneyland Hotel – the Big Thunder Suite. This new suite will now be added to the other unique suites located on the 11th floor of the Dreams Tower.  There is also the Fairy Tale Suite, Mickey Mouse Penthouse and Pirates of the Caribbean Suite. All suites boast a distinct design, luxurious amenities and amazing views.

The Big Thunder Suite is the wildest suite in the wilderness and immerses up to six pioneers in 1,400-square-feet of luxurious rustic accommodations inspired by the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad attraction at Disneyland park.

Big Thunder Suite Bedroom

Howling wolves sound to the push of the suite’s doorbell as guests step into a mine shaft foyer inlaid with Fool’s Gold and hear the rumble of a passing runaway mine train. A button on the wall can be pushed to trigger sound effects from the attraction. The mine shaft leads into a living and dining area that separates the suite’s two bedrooms. In many rooms, repurposed wood from a Midwestern barn is used as flooring and paneling, which is complimented by textured earthen walls.

Big Thunder Suite Dining Room

A stone-hearth fireplace in the living area serves as the suite’s centerpiece and houses a mounted flat-panel television. When not in use, the TV is cleverly concealed by one of the many pieces of attraction concept art found throughout the suite. The living area also includes a surround sound-stereo system and displays antique tools once used for mining gold, including an 1850s gold scale and pan.

The centerpiece of the dining area is a knotted table with seating for eight, with a wagon-wheel chandelier. Nearby is a wet bar made of petrified wood and above the bar hangs a “living portrait” of a gold miner who magically changes activities over the course of the day.

Rustic décor belies the luxurious amenities found in the suite’s two bedrooms. The master bedroom is appointed with a desk, sitting area, TV and king-sized bed with a commanding headboard made of rich wood, brown leather and exposed brackets.

The master bath is revealed through a sliding barn door, where a free-standing copper tub is surrounded by a dramatic stone wall. The tub’s copper finish matches the copper piping in the adjacent steam shower, which is tiled with an earth-tone mosaic. A television is concealed behind the mirror above the bathroom’s bucket sinks.

]]> http://kingdommagicagents.com/denise/?feed=rss2&p=462 0 Tips for Surviving a Long Flight http://kingdommagicagents.com/denise/?p=457 http://kingdommagicagents.com/denise/?p=457#comments Wed, 11 Aug 2010 01:14:38 +0000 Denise Lorentzen, CTA http://kingdommagicagents.com/denise/?p=457 Traveling for business or pleasure can be exhausting, especially if you have to fly internationally over just a few days, or go straight to work when you arrive. Still, there are helpful things you can do before, during, and after your flight to make the travel and the transition much easier.

1. Dress Comfortably: It’s a good idea to wear loose, comfortable clothing that won’t restrict your movements. You may also want to bring socks or thin blanket, since these items might not be provided.

2. Stay Away From Salt: Avoid foods high in sugar or salt, as they make you tired and dehydrated. It’s always a good idea to bring some healthy snacks such as energy bars.

3. Drink Water: Many people forget to drink enough water while flying. Make sure to get a refill every hour you’re awake, and stay away from alcohol.

4. Sleep It Off: Try to sleep on the plane if you can. Earplugs, neck pillows, and eye masks can all help.

5. Fight Jet Lag:

*** Take good care of yourself before you fly. Sleep well, exercise, and don’t drink before you get on the plane. It’s a really bad idea to fly with a hangover.

*** If you can, adjust your sleeping habits before you leave to make the transition easier. Get up or go to bed earlier based on which time zone you’re heading to.

*** When you arrive at your destination do your best to stay awake until its night time in the new location. It’s a huge help for fighting jet lag.

New Park Perk for Hotel Guests
Your Clients staying at the Hotels of the Disneyland® Resort (the Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Paradise Pier® Hotel and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel® & Spa) already enjoy an exclusive entrance into Disney California Adventure™ Park through a special gate at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.

Now, this exclusive Disney California Adventure Park gate opens at 9:00 a.m. each day, allowing Guests staying at the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort to get in line for Disney’s FASTPASS® tickets to each evening’s performances of “World of Color.”? The main entrance of Disney California Adventure Park will continue to open as scheduled at 9:30 a.m. for all other day Guests.

Theme Park hours may vary, so please be sure to check for the most up-to-date schedule. Early access for Guests of a Hotel of the Disneyland Resort is only being offered at the Disney California Adventure Park gate at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, and is scheduled for 30 minutes earlier than the opening listed for the main entrance.

Guests staying at other hotels will still have access to Disney’s FASTPASS tickets for “World of Color,” but this early access is another great benefit available to your Clients who stay at the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort.
