I remember a stay at the GCH in November 2005 where there was a fire alarm in the evening on one day, but I've stayed there 9 times since then (some at GCH and some at VGC) and no fire alarms.
I unfortunately don't have an answer to your question... but I have another question you may be able to help with - do we call in to make room requests? January will be my family's first time staying at the GCH.
Yes, you can call the hotel reservation line and they'll make a note of your request. I've requested rooms at DLH in the past and the CMs always helpful.
I guess it's worth a shot! I asked for a day bed with 2 queens, and a room near one of the elevators.
I'm so glad! I hope you have a wonderful trip
I usually make my reservation online a while before my trip. Later, when it's closer to my dates, I call to confirm and they usually repeat my requests. I thank them very much and we sometimes chat about the reason for my trip (if they ask me, which they usually do). If nothing is mentioned about the requests, I ask if they could double check that my request have been noted.
Generally yes, although some seasonality (Hot Summer Days) can decrease the park crowd levels while still having an elevated number of guests in the pool.
Was the re-delivery successful?
Thank you! We're going in April, so it probably won't be wicked hot.
Yes it was. Thank goodness
That's my best reason to fly into Long Beach instead, so much nicer.
I assume this is just hotel not DVC? (I see red in the DVC wing)
The floorplan includes the DVC wing. RED indicates areas of the hotel that do not have a 6th floor, since the 6th floor is most convenient for access to the Veranda.
Magic.
