    Early arrival and luggage

    The bell desk is located right next to check-in. They will hold your luggage until your room is ready….no need to email them.

    Room Requests ?

    I agree with everyone that you can make a request at anytime, but I was once told by a cm at GCH that they start to “map out” the room assignments around 10 days in advance so that is the best time to call & request. Not sure if this is 100 percent true but it’s worked for us….

    Ticket sale at Get Away Today

    That’s a great deal but it looks like Ares Travel has an even better rate. For a 3 Day Hopper (no Genie +) we will save around $20 more/ticket if I’m reading it right…

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    Usually but there was one time where I dropped off my family & went directly across to the parking lot. I told the attendant that my family was checking in & he raised the gate & let me park….

    No there’s only about 5-10 stalls. Right after you pass the valet you make a left turn into the small lot

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    If you go past the valet they have an area of designated parking stalls on the left so that you can park and check-in/drop off luggage. Then to self park just go across the street and the parking attendant will direct you where to park.

    Disneyland hotels reservations?

    Ah that’s understandable. Honestly we’ve never gone during Christmas week but have gone many times during thanksgiving break (usually Wednesday-Sunday). It’s pretty busy but very manageable, not as bad compared to Christmas week from what I’ve been told. We just feel Disneyland is that much...

    Disneyland hotels reservations?

    Hey Ron, I know your family is anxious to go back, but if you guys enjoyed the parks in the summer, I think you’ll really have a blast when the Christmas decorations go up. Ya your family might unfortunately have to wait a little longer, but Its a Small World overlay as well as the Haunted...

    Q about Westin v "on property" hotel

    We normally stay at VGC but made a last minute trip earlier this month and ended up staying at the Westin. We loved it! Like all the pp said it’s a gorgeous hotel with very modern rooms and the walk is very safe! From now on if we can’t stay on property this will be our go to hotel.....

    Trip details- here now!

    So coming from DLH you would take a right before the security into downtown Disney & head towards PP. when u come to the roundabout take a left towards GCH & cross Disneyland Dr. U will come to 2 security gates, take the right one that leads to CA for hotel guests. The security line moved...

    Trip details- here now!

    We just got back & one suggestion.... for EE into DCA you may want to try the new entrance in front of GC. We went at 7:15 and the line was really short. Ya it’s a farther walk to Webslingers etc but u don’t have to go nearly as early....

    Disneyland Vets and Vacationers, Talk the talk! I'm ready to listen!

    Hopefully you’ll be able to get the GC villas, we just love those rooms & you really can’t beat the proximity to the parks (although the new PP entrance to DCA also helps if can’t get it).

    Last minute tips?

    Since you are staying at the GC, if you are into the Mickey sugar cookies buy the ones in the lobby. One of the CM's told us that even though they are the same ones sold in the park, since they are the located closest to the bakery that makes them, they are the freshest...

    Questions on LL/ILL

    As for #3, for the past few days if a ride went down at Disneyland, the LL converted to an anytime pass for any ride except for ROTR and strangely Indy. It actually let us use it for a duplicate ride, meaning we could use it on Big Thunder again even though we rode it earlier in the day.

    Best way to get a VGC reservation?

    I’m not sure how many 3 bedroom suites are at the GC.....the one I am aware of is located above the World of Disney so it’s pretty much at the other end of the resort. I wouldn’t let that discourage you tho because it’s a beautiful resort that I think your family will really enjoy! We’ve done...

    Best way to get a VGC reservation?

    Actually, I think your sister got a 3 bedroom suite on the hotel side. There are only 2 GV’s and they are almost impossible to obtain with a cash reservation. In fact I think it’s almost impossible, unfortunately, to get any type of villa with a cash res cause there are so few to begin with...
