    GCH Standard or Disneyland Hotel Pool/Resort View?

    Senior Discount at Disneyland Hotels - date?

    Thanks for the update. I guess I will try calling them every few days. I'm trying to budget a trip with my mom in 2013 and we have always gotten the 30% senior discount. I hope they keep it at 30% or at least 20%.
