Do we know how long the porte cochere project will last?
I'm also interested in pricing, so share what you learn -- you will need to call.
we just returned from a GCH stay in a three bedroom suite and out of curiosity when I booked the room back in April I asked for the price on one of the Signature Suites for our dates... The El Capitan for our dates the price was $37,422 (4 nights)... I asked if that was for real and she said yes! the Arroyo for two nights was $14,541.93. I wrote them both down because I wanted to remember the price!! So I guess I am saying if you can get Adventurland for $5K a night I would go for it lol
Yes, it is about $1000-1500 more per night for the El Capitan compared to the Adventureland suite. I'm with you, I'd prefer the suites at the DLH. My choices are Mickey Mouse Penthouse (if kids are with me), Adventureland, and Pirates. You might want to try Pirates next year!hello

Wow, who can afford that other than LA celebrities. Insane. I honestly wouldn't pay that even if I could. I'd rather give that money to charity.
They go to the parks as well!

Actually, there are quite a lot of people that can afford $37,422 for four days at a Villa at the Grand
. That is why most of the suites are booked about 90% of the time. My wife and I can afford a regular room for four, maybe five days at a time once or maybe twice a year at the Grand or the DLH. But, we have friends and know several people that do rent a villa for three of four days at a time for family get-a-ways. They are very successful business people that work six to seven days a week, every week. That is why they are successful. They live well within their means, waiting for sales to purchase things like clothing, furniture, etc. But, when they go on vacation, they splurge and spend some money on things like Disneyland, Disney Cruises, etc 
. 
It just depends on what you make and how you choose to spend it. Everyone is different. We have people tell us that going to Disney is a waste of money. The same people think nothing about spending thousands on RVs, dirt bikes, and or Harley Davidson's. I have one friend that spends thousands each year to go camping and Fly Fishing at a private area in Wyoming(he really enjoys it!). To each, his own
I've paid more than the vehicle I daily drive is worth to stay a single night at the DLH. Was it a wise fiscal decision, no, but it's how I chose to celebrate my 40th birthday as a MEGA Disney fan with some means. I wouldn't do it any different if I had to do over.
