Hi all! 2 more weeks til our first visit to Disneyland as DVC members. w00t!!!! 
As I finalize our details I'm finding out some pros and cons of doing this with a DVC room...
I'm trying not to let these things bother me and dampen my excitement of the trip as I'm really looking forward to staying at the VGC. Hopefully, this would be balanced by having the park all to ourselves

I've been comparing rental car and transfer prices since we're doing a Universal Studios trip before we do Disney. LAX - US - DLR - LAX and it looks like renting a car for a week is the best value (~$200). Is parking at VGC free for DVC members? I seem to remember this as a perk. Also, is internet free as well? Does VGC have wireless now too?

As I finalize our details I'm finding out some pros and cons of doing this with a DVC room...
- Having had to book this reservation 7 months in advance, the calendar was not published so I had to go with "trends" since this is Off season. I was fully anticipating some ride closures, less activities, fireworks ONLY on weekends (which is why we added a Friday park stay even though we're checking out of the hotel on Friday), but I was expecting WoC all the days we're there. This week, I found out that they've cancelled WoC on the weekdays we are there (T, W, Th) so I only have the opportunity to catch it on our last day, F, wchi is also the only day where the fireworks will be shown. As a result, I don't think we can watch both... bummer
- I learned that Toontown Morning Madness tickets are only available if you book a Hotel/Ticket package via WDTC. I bought my tickets thru them, but since I have DVC, I didn't need a hotel, ergo - no TTMM tickets
- My girls are obsessed with bunk beds so they saw some photos of rooms with bunk beds and were a bit disappointed when I told them our room won't have any
