    Does anybody know why room#11052 is unpopular in Disney Wish cruise??

    That's possible, but it's marked as 'emergency exit' though there is no alarm or anything so most people don't use it. We used it a couple times just to see but mostly went through the elevator bay. If I had a room down there, which there are really only 5 or 6 rooms are that way, I' would...

    Does anybody know why room#11052 is unpopular in Disney Wish cruise??

    Not sure about this stateroom specifically but we just returned from a Wish cruise and had room 11534, same side of the ship and loved the location! Seriously, these rooms are the best and there is a door you can take right out to the deck from the hallway where your room is if you don't want...

    DL races are back! Where to stay?

    We also at Villas Grand California this trip but when we can't get in there, we have really enjoyed the new-ish Residence Inn by the Convention Center (Katella and Harbor). Nice, big rooms and a rooftop pool with a huge jacuzzi. CVS in the parking lot with a Springhill Suites above it that we...

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

    So true! My husband gets super frustrated with the kids crap flung everywhere, he will love being able to close off their mess. We go to DL a lot so we tend to spend more time in the room than most and we are both pretty serious runners so we are more likely not to do much park time the day...

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

    I'm in for all the races I wanted! I'm kind of settling in to just keeping the 2 bdrm accessible room I was able to snag. I know this is a specific room, pool view side and we usually request park side but that's not a guarantee anyway and I'll probably sleep better on the pool facing side. We...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    Success! My husband and I each registered for the half separately and then I went back in to add the registrations for the 3 kids to do the 5k which was super stressful bc I wasn't expecting to have to enter an address each time (2 of them are adult kids lol) but I figure it was all 3 or none of...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    Ready to give it a go, first Disney race since Tinkerbell Race Weekend in 2016. Hoping to get DH and I in for the half and then our 3 kids for the 5k. Room booked so this is the missing piece. Good vibes to all!

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

    Yep, that was where I messed up. I checked early in the week and could tell studios were being walked but the 1 bedrooms looked okay. Lesson learned. I agree that it is going to be a struggle getting into the race at all so if I’m lucky enough to succeed there I’ll look for cancellations. I have...

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

    Really regretting not walking a reservation for race weekend as my experience trying to book the last 2 days has been the same as everyone else. Through sheer luck, I was able to grab an accessible 2 bdrm yesterday morning after hanging out on the website a half an hour or past booking opening...

    Avengers Campus Superthread – Opening June 4, 2021!

    This sounds like a good plan! Thank you! We weren't really sure how they were handling GCH entry into the parks and DTD and 7:30 sounds a lot better than 6 AM.

    Avengers Campus Superthread – Opening June 4, 2021!

    Awesome! Yes I'm pretty sure the odds favor the younger members in our party with the fast fingers. My 13 year old is already practicing daily.

    Avengers Campus Superthread – Opening June 4, 2021!

    Going at the end of this month and I am trying to understand the entry process if you are staying at the Grand Californian. Are we able to enter through the private entrance or into the esplanade area before they allow harbor side through security? I am hearing mixed information and just...

    Rise of the Resistance BOARDING GROUPS Superthread Part 1 *No Ride Spoilers Please* *PLEASE READ POSTS 1-4*

    Hi all-Been lurking on this thread all weekend. My girls and I decided to take a last minute trip and drove here from AZ yesterday. Today was our only shot to get a boarding group but we all read this board and did a practice run yesterday. Got to the gates slightly before 7 and lines were past...

    New DVC coming to Disneyland?

    Speaking as a VGC owner who wanted to add a couple nights to her Thanksgiving stay, availability at the villas is near impossible for the big holidays inside the 7 month mark. I have successfully stalked the website for cancellations for a night or 2 but that requires a lot of luck and time...

    Thanksgiving day crowds, despite the rain, pics + park map offer)

    We were there for Thanksgiving for 7am early entry in DL. The morning rain was not that bad. I had a proper rain jacket and some water 'resistant' boots but the rest of the family toughed it out in ponchos and normal footwear. We took a break in the early afternoon and threw our wet clothes...

    Okay, that makes sense. Will still be fun to do the party on the DCA side this year, love the Incredibles theme, hoping they play that up.
