I bet Bob and his wife stay in Golden Oaks, not at a Disney resort hotel. It's a shame that corporate is impeding the ability of quality hotel managers to provide a good product to customers.
I usually spend at least two days of a DAK Lodge visit largely just around the resort. It is truly a wonderful place and I don't get the idea of using it to sleep and have a QS breakfast in the morning before bussing it to MK or another theme park. My last stay there (11 days) in 2013, Angie and I largely spent parts of multiple days just hanging at the resort. I can't imagine spending what these resorts cost just to sleep and shower and store your clothes and crap.
I'll be back at DLR soon. But not next week when every blogger/podcaster/Lifestyler- will be in town to make sure they don't get 'beat' on pics of all the new entertainment etc.
Most times Bob is at WDW he is ensconced at the Grand Flo. Same with Tom. Same with John Lasseter.
Michael Eisner always stayed at a suite at the YC unless he was checking out a new property.
Now, let's leave Jake out of this. He's just trying to be fair and balanced and make sure Disney's corporate image doesn't ever get dinged too much. You can't blame him. He really fell in love with the place as a CPer and you never forget your first ... sometimes you stalk her (or him) for years to come.
Hum, I thought Disney would have a couple of houses in Golden Oaks for their top execs to use. Nice to see he stays on property. Bet he gets LOTS of GF chocolates on his pillow at night.
So glad I visited a couple of weeks ago and not during the hoopla that's going to be the start of the Diamond birthday. Hadn't been in over 30 years. Was amazed by the difference in the two parks, especially the vibe. Very much the laid back Southern California vibe. No screaming parents, Hummer size strollers to avoid, armies of scooters (and people who can't drive them). Not a single entitled guest in sight during my three days. Not going to get into the "this ride is better at DLR than the one at WDW" or vice versa (although that is true for some - is it too late to fix the 2009 reno to Space at WDW everyone complains about?). But I enjoyed my trip, the wonderful Southern Cal weather - having left nearly 90 degree weather in Florida - and I didn't miss WDW at all. So loved both parks I'm planning on changing one of my many trips to Orlando each year to Anaheim. 'Cause that takeoff from John Wayne is quite a ride.

I'll set the Over/Under at 7.5 .... Originally I thought 8.5 but I doubt the Chinese Overlords will allow for more than 8...
Takers?

AKL is my favorite DVC resort for a relaxing trip. You can definitely spend 2 days hanging out at the resort itself. Exploring, people watching at the pool, adult beverage locations are very nice. Restaurants between the 2 properties are even decent to eat at. Reading from my tablet on the balcony while Giraffes walk by is very peaceful.
For a park crushing trip it's a Monorail resort or BC/BW...

Interesting, any other fun facts to share? Imagine he stayed in the castle suite haha
I can tell you how I handled it after my mom died in her 50s from liver failure due to the stress of having to endure a year of antibiotic treatments (and other medications) because the hospital/doctors didn't think that a diabetic needed preventative antibiotics after triple bypass surgery. Six months of wound care where incisions would not heal due to some exotic infection.
I can tell you how I handled it after my sister was a couple hours away from bleeding to death through her skin, tear ducts, and sweat glands because she had a reaction to medications that caused her blood platelet count to drop to the point her blood was almost water.
I can tell you how I handled it when my father fell from a ladder into a partially filled pool, crushing three vertebrae and almost drowning because at the deep end where he fell in there was three feet of stagnant water that he breathed in when he hit bottom. After they had to open him back up to clean out the infection because of poor care in the hospital, they realized he had ruptured his esophagus from wretching the black stagnant water out.
What did I do to make it through these terrible events that took one of the three family members that I grew up with, but could have easily taken all three? I focused on them getting better. Was I upset with doctors? Absolutely. But I realized ing and moaning about the issues added no benefite to them getting better. In my experiences insurance had nothing to do with it. It was all neglect in care from the doctors/hospital.
If my parents were still alive, I would be booking reservations at their house for those attending the Diamond birthday celebrations. "Planning on visiting the Southern California area during Disneyland's Diamond Jubilee? Looking for a relaxing place to stay during your visit? How about a lovely 3,000 square foot 4 bedroom, 3 bath California ranch on nearly 1 acre with an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean and a pool. Lovely mature landscaping with fragrant eucalyptus trees and a well tended garden from which you can make your own fresh dinner every night. Convenient to all the Southern California attractions: Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Hollywood, Universal Studios and only minutes from the beach. So why stay in Anaheim when you can stay in the hills of Palos Verdes. Only $3,000 a night or $15,000 for an entire week. And the grumpy old man is included with your stay, at no extra cost."

Please. I don't think being acknowledged by D23 makes Martin another shill '74's gonna start whining about. Remember, D23 is pretty much joined at the hip to the Archives and the Archives actually took in copies of Martin's material because it's just that comprehensive.
