We loved our stay at DLH (Saturday 11/26-Friday 12/1) When I checked in at 3 our room was ready but not in the Adventureland tower as requested (booked thru Expedia 51% off). The cast member said it was no problem to move us. I was so happy to be there I really wasn’t that concerned about moving but he insisted it was no trouble and our pool view room ready 30 minutes later. Honestly, I was not demanding at all, he just really wanted to make our stay great. I had also booked an in room welcome that was already set up but they assured me they would be happy to move it to our new room. I was impressed by their eagerness to make our trip special.
The room was in great shape and roomy. My son slept on the couch/bed and our beds and pillows were comfy. Never got too hot or cold. Shower temp. was a bit tricky to regulate though. A room service tray was in the hallway for 3 days, hello old milk and cookies! Dinner at Goofys was a great way to start our trip. Had a fun date night at The tiki bar, only waited about 5 minutes for a seat at the the Tiki bar around 4:30 on a Tuesday night. The first bartender wasn’t that friendly but the guy who came in at 5pm was super fun. Breakfast at Tangaroa was yummy. We used the pool 2 days in the afternoon, outside temps were in the 80’s but my Hawaii born kids wanted to stay in the jacuzzi cuz they were cold. Not crowded at all. In fact, the kids would of had more fun if more kids and activities would of been happening. Slide was good but kind of boring having come from the water slide heaven of great Wolf Lodge.
It was a super quick trip down the elevator right to the Security entrance to DTD for morning rope drop, grab my Mobil ordered Starbucks and get in line for rope drop. Never encountered more than 5 people in front of us, arriving at least 30 minutes prior to early entry. Then in the afternoon, take the monorail from
Tomorrowland ( always got on the first monorail, with plenty of open seating) dropping us off super close to our tower.
Also, housekeeping was great. Room
Was always cleaned, stuffed animals posed when we got back in the afternoon and I was surprised to receive turn down service at night too. Stayed 6 nights. One day, we accidentally left the safe open and money on the table and everything was there when we came back! Hotel employees always greeted us with a smile and a hello.
Our last day was made better as we were waiting out front for our Lansky driver (about 15 minutes, 1:30 to 1:45) to take us to the airport, we had Chip, Goofy and Pluto show up taking pictures with the kids before we left and waving goodbye. A great way to end the trip! I was happy in my tough decision to have chosen DLH over the Grand Californian.
