I have not been back to the DLR since security was extended closer to the DLH. How has this (if it has) affected entrance/exit from GCH for non-guests?

So outside of the main valet parking entrance to GCH, there are 2 other entrances to GCH I've used. The first is through DCA (usually to go eat at Whitewater or just take a break from the park). My experience has been after a certain time (11 am?) they let non-hotel guests back INTO the park through this entrance, do they still allow this?

My bigger question is the GCH entrance through Downtown Disney. We've used this entrance/exit often as well. For example we'd go have lunch at Whitewater, exit into DT Disney, look around a bit, then re-enter through there and go back into DCA through the hotel entrance as well. Is the DTD exit/entrance still available? And if so, have they just set up security there?
 
The GCH/DCA and GCH/DTD entrances have remained unchanged in regards to non GCH guest access with the exception of an added security screening station in the GCH/DTD pathway like there has always been in the GCH/DCA entrance, but they do not restrict who can come and go through there and it is almost always a walk through without delay.

So for you...business as usual except the new screening check point.

Only change for non GCH guests is that you can no longer enter through the front doors of the GCH from the street. You have to use the DTD or DCA entry. This is to limit the people using the GCH as a shortcut into the parks and clogging up the security check points.

Oh this is interesting... what if you are there to dine at one of the hotel restaurants?

If you have a confirmed reservation at Napa Rose or Story Tellers they reportedly will let ya through...WWS visitors have been told to go around tot he DTD entrance.
