Last minute trip help!

I have never stayed at on site hotels at DL and have some questions...

Does staying on site have early entry privleges? If so, which park and how early?

How much is pakring if you stay on site?

We are leaving next weekend and bought flights this morning.

Thansk!

We stayed on-site for the first time in April--we were able to go in early everyday to DL--DCA didn't have early entry when we were there. We went to EE at DL then hopped over to DCA and did everything by 11:00AM! I think the EE mornings depend on what time they open--I would head over about 1 1/2 hours before official opening. When you check in they will tell you more about the operating hours of the parks. I would suggest going to the guest services desk/conciege desk when you get settled--they were very helpful!

I don't remember if we paid for parking or not--we did use valet though--I never saw where the parking lot was!

We really enjoyed the experience of staying on-site--we stayed at Grand Californian. We are going back in June '02 and are planning on staying at DLH. Staying on-site is quite abit more expensive--but probably worth it--especially with little kids.

Hope you have a great trip!

Thanks for your info. I will save it for future use. I looked at the opening hours while we are there and they are plenty early enough for us. DL opens at 8am so I won't want to wake up earlier to use the ee so we are not going to stay on site this time.

I need some quick ideas since it is so soon and we have never been to DCA. Looking forward to it.

Hope to buy the 4 day pass where you can park hop and the days don't expire for 2 years. I need to call and verify that since we are not staying on site and these tickets are not on the website, but the DL reosrt guy told me about it.
