Hi,
I have asked a couple of specific questions on other threads and received very helpful responses, so here are a couple others!
We will be staying at GCH June 20-22 (thank you, military discount!). I went to the ITT office on base today to order our 3-day hopper tickets ($99 each). We will receive a voucher, which we will need to take to guest services or a ticket window to receive our actual hoppers.
My DH, DD, and I will be arriving around lunchtime on the 20th, so we will use the voucher to get our hoppers and visit DL that day. My SIL will be joining us on the 21st. My question is, can we pick up her hopper when we bring the voucher to GS on the 20th, or do we have to wait until she arrives? It's not a big deal either way, but anything that saves a step is helpful. They did ask for all the names of those who will be using the tickets when I ordered the voucher today, if that makes any difference.
Also, here is our general schedule, I would love any inputs:
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20 - Arrive LAX at 11:00 am, rent car, drive to GCH. Possible quick stop at a grocery store for breakfast items, snacks, and drinks. Check in, proceed to GS to exchange our military ticket voucher for 3-day park hoppers, then spend the afternoon at a park. I plan to reserve the Fantasmic! dessert package for the first show this night (yes, I will call at 8 am pst on May 20!). If it were WDW, I'd consider going to the second show, but with the time difference from Ohio, I know we'd be too tired.
THURSDAY, JUNE 21 - I will be keeping an eye on official announcements about DCA hours and MM and all that, especially since coming from Ohio we will be up early raring to go! Right now we are planning to enter DCA this day as early as we are permitted, as GCH guests. My DH will leave sometime in the morning to pick up his sister, who lives in Torrance. When they return they will get her ticket (if we were not able to get it the day before without her being there) and come to the parks. She has a bad knee, so we will get her a scooter from Deckert's for her couple days in the parks. Right now I have a reservation at WCT for the WOC package this night. If Carthay becomes available to book, I will consider changing that, but we do want a dinner package. We really enjoy Disney's night time shows, so we are excited to see WOC. Hopefully with SIL's scooter and the preferred dining section we can get a pretty good view.
FRIDAY, JUNE 22 - We plan to concentrate on DL this day, entering as early as possible. As I mentioned, we will keep an eye on schedule announcements in the coming weeks to make sure we optimize our time. I also realize the 21st and 22nd are grad nights, but I hope they won't impact us too much, especially early in the day. We will stay in the parks until late-afternoon or early evening, when we will depart for Santa Barbara, where will will spend a couple days touring around.
Anything obvious I am missing? Thanks for any inputs! We are more familiar with WDW, but we love visiting DLR and are excited to see all the changes since our last visit!
