Here at noon after a relatively stress-free drive down the 5. Got upgraded to a pool-view room, have an incredible view of the pool and parts of DCA. Everyone has been super nice and our room was ready right away So happy!

Glad to hear you got upgraded!
Something similar happened to us, we ended up getting room 5220. Fantastic views

Yay for both of you! I hope something similar happens to us, but since we're going mid-June during high season I doubt it. One can still hope though, right?

You never know when you'll get upgraded. We were FLOORED last December when we were upgraded at PP to a SUITE and Park View. We had a huge picture window overlooking DCA and the testing of WOC!

Do all rooms at GC have a balcony?

 

[Jenna319]

I'd like to know the balcony answer also!

Do all rooms at GC have a balcony?

Each room has a balcony, with a small table and 2 chairs. There are a few hotel rooms and villas part of the VGC expansion which have first floor patios.

So all rooms have an exterior view? I was thinking maybe a room off the lobby might not have one.

If you look at the map, you can see that all rooms even the lobby rooms do have an exterior view

Hi,
first time coming to Cali and first time at GC/Disneyland. Can't wait to experience the different smaller feel of the park after 50+ visits to WDW over my lifetime. Does the GC have a foodcourt type restaurant area? Also do they do refillable mugs like WDW does?

 

[franandaj]

There is Whitewater snacks which is similar to but smaller than the Mara. DLR doesn't do the refillable mugs.

No, but there are many restaurants in Downtown Disney -- literally under the north wing of the hotel

You will simply adore DL. You will absolutely love how close everything is to each other....DL to DCA to Downtown Disney.

You will have to put a link of your trip report when you come back on this thread. 30 more sleeps for us!

Wondering this as well

I'd like to know about the power walk too! Seems like a fabulous way to start your morning!
