Can guests of PPH rent cabana at DLH or GCH?

[Rubygoose]

Hi Everyone,
I've read a few threads on here and can't get a firm answer... if we stay at the PPH are we able to rent a cabana at DLH or GCH pools? If you have done this before, can you confirm that it is possible?
Thanks

yes, we just did this during our trip in May! We stayed at PPH and rented a cabana at the grand!!!

How far in advance can you rent a cabana?

@rentayenta -- i think it is 60 days in advance but you do have to have your hotel reservation already made b/c they do check to ensure you are a guest that is going to stay at one of the resort hotels

How do you rent a cabana?

Never mind, I figured it out

Thanks! I want to stay at PPH this time, but DH really likes DLH. Hoping that booking a cabana for a half day at DLH on out departure day is a good compromise. Our flight doesn't leave until 3 or 4, so I think we would get a lot of use out of a cabana.

I thought I read that the only reason PPH guests were able to book a cabana at the DLH was because the PPH pool was undergoing renovation this spring. The website clearly says DLH or GCH guests. I'd call the hotel to be sure before you make definite plans. I know when we booked, they asked our for our confirmation number.

To book, you just call whichever hotel it is you want the cabana for direct.

@BriannaRuth -- any guest of any disney resort hotel can book a cabana, pool at PPH was not under renos when we were there! Wording on the website isn't clear but all disney resort guests can book!
@eeyorefanuk -- prices are seasonal so it is best to call to find out the pricing

Yes, I read that too, but I also read that people who stayed at PPH were able to book them. I guess the wording is a bit misleading - maybe they're trying to say that the GCH and the DLH have cabana rentals? I did the "live chat" on their website and got a terribly misinformed answer. I asked my question, waited a couple minutes and then the person typed "Thank you, have a zip-a-de-do-dah day!" without answering my question! So I typed "you didn't answer my question!" and she typed "At this time, Pool hopping is not permitted."

i found calling the number below provided the best results for me being able to book a cabana and find out pricing, from a knowledgeable CM.

To learn about pricing options or to make a reservation, please call (714) 635-2300, option 5

I made our reservation for the GCH cabana while sitting at the pool at PPH ~~ due to the iffy weather we had on our trip in May, I had originally called before our trip to book a half day rental at DLH for a Saturday afternoon and made that reservation without any issues! Once we arrived we figured out quickly that the weather for that Saturday wasn't going to be prime "pool" weather so we decided since the sun was going to co-operate for us for the first two days of our trip I quickly got on the phone with a CM to find out if a cabana was available the next day at either hotel and we were able to grab a half a day (afternoon) at GCH, simple as that!

Good luck -- cabanas are awesome to have!!!!
