    D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event Announced for 8/9/24-8/11/24 **Tickets on sale 3/26**

    Seems odd to stop a Gold presale, when Gold is a requirement to buy floor seats :headache:

    Magic Key Discount without Pulling Out Phone?

    There has been a big push to use phones for Mobile Checkout, skipping the regular check-out lines. Disney seems to want guests to use their phones more, not less.

    Best ecv rental to Disneyland hotel

    https://disneyland.disney.go.com/guest-services/ecv-wheelchair-rentals/ https://www.scooterbug.com/Anaheim/ Disney rental ECVs may only be used in the parks and DTD, so you must rent from a third-party. ScooterBug is the "featured" provider, which makes them the most convenient service. I...

    Early arrival and luggage

    Good advice, since there can be a line at Bell Services in the lobby. It is customary to tip Bell Services. I tip both when dropping off and delivery, but many just tip once (don't know if tips are being pooled).

    Limo Service

    We used MidWilShuttle, and it was a shuttle bus for just 2 of us. Very uncomfortable. Make sure to confirm a car, not a bus

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

    Self Parking for 2 vehicles is free, but there does not seem to be any special accommodation for larger villas. Grand Californian (hotel and villa) room keys no longer have any printed information, so all physical keys for your villa are identical. Officially, you will need to pay for the 3rd...

    Scathing report from Frommer's on Genie+/LL

    Every thread on MiceChat is similar to this one, at least before I abandoned MC years ago. MC does publish excellent weekly articles -- often see Dusty Sage roaming the parks.

    Chip & Dale popcorn Easter basket

    I've been checking, as of yesterday (and a few days prior) it has been Sold Out resort wide. As an Easter themed item, it should be restocked (fingers crossed)

    What happens to regular customers in Disneyland during 'Star Wars Night'?

    Once Jedi mind tricks fail, lightsabers are used to remove arms of non party guests No Blasters!

    There is no chance the 2nd bathroom will be removed!

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

    The map combines room numbers for all floors, so is not exactly correct. Linked in my signature (using a computer browser) is a floor by floor map. The blank next to 509 is really an error, since there is no empty space there. The blank next to 1513 are the restrooms accessed from the pool...

    Anaheim Hotel (Formerly Anaheim Plaza)

    The proposed plan back in 2016, would have looked like this: Project was derailed by lawsuits and politics, also the cancelation of the Eastern Gateway. Proposed at the same time, the same owners did complete the Westin on Katella...

    Experience with ECV delivery on arrival day

    ScooterBug website certainly has many problems, but is functional (seems like a puzzle). You may also just call to reserve. I told the valet when arriving at the Grand Californian, and the scooter was at the car before the bags had even been unloaded. Pixar Place should provide similar service.

    Renting DVC Points Question

    You might want to post your question on DVC rent/trade board (part of disboards). Just my speculation: VDH is new and most owners will use their points for personal visits. After a few years, more owners will be renting out their points. VDH does have a large number of Deluxe Studios, so it...

    VGC room request

    I use the "Email Us" link on the DVC site: Generally within a day there will be a confirmation email from DVC, which has my original message copied. May you receive villa 5514, which I consider the quietest room in the hotel :wizard: Of course I have not stayed in every room, but have been in...
