| Re: UP/Mackinaw Island Many years ago, we spent the day on Mackinaw Island. We rented bikes and rode around the island, watched Fudge being made in a store, paid a couple bucks to tour the lobby areas of the Grand Hotel. I remember it fondly. We were supposed to stay somewhere in the UP that night, but the hotel didn't have our reserved room [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] for some reason and my poor Dad had to drive a couple more hours back to the main part of Michigan before we could find a room. That part is not a fond memory. I've dreamed about going back and staying in the Grand Hotel some day....and I will. -HiddenMickey [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]      |

| Re: UP/Mackinaw Island WOW!!! Now that brings back memories. Some friends and I worked on the Island in the summer of 90. I was in charge of getting the Halls set-up for Banquets in the Grand Hotel. My other buddies worked in a bar, The Lamplighter I think it was called. It was a great summer. Really beautiful place to be. |

| Re: UP/Mackinaw Island We went to Mackinac Island last summer. We used our Disney points from vacation club since we had gone down in spring on a business trip and did not plan to go back that summer. Using Disney points included your room stay for two, breakfast for two and a five course dinner for two at the Grand Hotel. After 5:00 at the Grand you need to be in formal attire (no shorts etc). Before or after dinner they will take a formal picture of your group. We did purchase ours. Believe the cost was approx $25 or so. The Grand was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay on the island. They have an outdoor pool, a lawn where croquet and bocce ball was set up. There is alot to do including Fort Mackinac (which is an actual fort and they have re-enactments etc), shopping, horse back riding, biking, buggy rides, hiking trails, golf etc. If you have any questions, ask and I will try and answer.
