    1st time @ DL with wheelchair/scooter

    99% of the time, if you have a wheelchair or a scooter, the cast members will not ask for a GAC. Just explain you have a family member in a wheelchair/scooter, and they don't question it. I have used a motorized scooter (not a wheelchair) at Disneyland before. I have rented through Deckerts...

    Disneyland first week of January 2013

    I would assume it will be very busy. Local kids are still out of school. Those weeks around the Holidays are quite hectic. With Cars Land popularity still raging strong, I would make the most out of getting to the gate early (before opening). It is considered by the Disney hotels as one of their...

    Not looking forward to the 100 degree weather this week!

    I will offer one small piece of advice for you....if you are doing DCA, go visit Cars Land first thing in the morning (yes, I know, with EVERYONE else!). The minute you step into Cars Land with that black top surface (just like normal streets), it feels a good 10+ degrees warmer. My husband...

    Best ECV rental?

    I have used Deckert for many of our family members that we have brought. I've used other companies, and have had no problems with Deckert. We found their scooters to be very well taken care of. Enjoy your visit!

    EMH on checkout day

    Absolutely! Your room key covers the day you check in to the day you check out. Have fun and take advantage of that extra hour. You can get more done in that extra hour than in a few hours later in the day. :goodvibes:

    DCA during MHP?

    My husband and I were there in DCA Friday night. It was insane. From kids rides having wait times to 45 minutes and the bigger rides close to two hours, it was madness. Food lines were the worst I've ever seen in that park. We finally left around 9:30, and there were long lines of people still...

    Thinking about Renting my Points

    We have rented out our points with The Timeshare Store. The transaction was very smooth. I have not used David's company, so I can not speak for them. However, TTS was wonderful and had my points rented less than 24 hours later. I hope that it works out for you!

    Jan 2-4?

    To say that it will be busy is an understatement. With so many kids on winter break as well as adults on vacation, it can get pretty crazy. It's quite doable if you plan very well and don't have too many expectations. Get in line before the park opens and hit your "must-do" rides first. My...

    Military DVC Members

    My husband is in the Navy. We're in Southern California. We own our points at the Grand Californian at Disneyland. We thought we would run into a lot more DVC owners who are in the military here (due to the proximity of Disneyland) and were quite surprised to find that we still haven't met...

    Latest waitlist...?

    Last month my husband and I had our waitlist come through at the VGC. It was less than two weeks before the date. It was for a Saturday night. We were totally surprised it did! We couldn't believe that it came through but we were very happy it did. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you...

    Military Discount Tickets

    We just got back yesterday from using 4 of the 6 $99 military tickets we had purchased. We bought them through MWR in San Diego. When we bought them, the sales rep kept repeating that you are limited to ONLY 6, and yes, they have a way of keeping track. My husband did have to show his ID when...

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners Group

    Hello Everyone! My husband and I have a question that we hope one of you can answer for us. We've stayed in a studio by ourselves before, but this time, we'll have company staying with us. We will have a friend, her husband and their 2 kids (ages 5 and 2) staying with us this next trip. My...

    First time and only one day.

    My husband and I do day trips quite a bit. (We live 2 hours away.) It's VERY important to plan ahead for this trip. As other previous posters have said, there's a couple of big shows opening around that time. You are going to get a lot of locals in addition to the normal visitors. I would...

    How many points do you have?

    My husband and I have 160 points at VGC. You would think that since it's just the two of us, and we stay in a studio, that 160 would be enough! It's not...trust me! Since it's hard to know what the schedule on his ship is even a few months out, it makes it...interesting...to make...

    How much time to budget for GF tea?

    I've done the tea a many times, and each time it's taken a little over an hour. If you want to slow down and just enjoy your time, just let your server know, and they are happy to comply. Enjoy your time there, it's the best hidden gem in any of the Disney properties! :cloud9:

    Crt Picture Question

    The previous poster is correct. You get one picture package for every 4 people in your party. Just did a party of 5 for breakfast, and got to take two seperate photos with Cinderella. Just let them know ahead of time if you want two different groups in the photos or different poses. Enjoy...

    GF Afernoon Tea

    I have had many wonderful experiences at the Afternoon Tea. It is always a wonderful afternoon. Most servers are very aware of how much service or how little service you would like. Every time that I have gone, my entire party loves it and want to do it again. My husband has already made...

    The Disney Tipping Info Thread *Updated 9.1.09*

    Your gratuity is already included in the price that you pre-paid for everyone. Each time my family has gone, we have given our servers additional gratuity because we felt the wonderful service was well worth it. Enjoy your magical time in the Castle! :goodvibes
