Make reservations for EVERYTHING in advance, you can always cancel what you don't want once you get here. -
The Bracebridge Dinner Show is amazing -
Great Hotel but don't try to arrive on a Saturday afternoon - over 2hrs in stationary traffic getting to the park entrance and round to the village!!!! -
Rainy day in Yosemite. -
2 croissants and plastic cup of fruit nearly $20. Couldn't get into main breakfast room. All for $500 a night plus plus plus. -
Worst value for money hotel I have ever stayed in. My tip is to leave.

Try the French Onion Soup and spot it on Foodspotting! -

If you can't stay the evening, swoop in for lunch in the amazing dining room. -
Room 338 is very nice with a fantastic view. 2 double beds. You can lay on the bed, and look up and see Yosemite Falls! -
Be sure not to miss the afternoon tea service in the Great Lounge
