YAY!! We booked DLH originally, but ended up switching to PPH Concierge instead. We've never stayed there, but love the Santa set-up they have. Have a great time!

I hear that's a great time to go, crowd-wise. Enjoy your anniversary!!

 

[JadeDarkstar]

nov dates too?

 

[Escape2Disney]

nov dates too?

Not unless your dates cross into December as well. If your trip is all in November, there will usually be a check-in thread for that month at some point.

 

[BARBARAL26]

Having a Mother daughter trip Dec. 10th till the 14th. Staying at the Paradise Pier

 

[Morgan063006]

Our dates are not firm but planning on 12/7-12/14 and most likely DI&S. Me, DH and DDs (5 and 2 at trip time).

 

[rentayenta]

December, hopefully the GCV, dates to be determined.

Mother/Daughter trips are THE BEST! That's what we'll be doing as well. Have a wonderful time!

Our dates are not firm but planning on 12/7-12/14 and most likely DI&S. Me, DH and DDs (5 and 2 at trip time).

I'll add you to the list, but can easily change it if your plans change. Your DDs are at a great age for Disney at the parks! I bet they'll love the snowfall after fireworks!

December, hopefully the GCV, dates to be determined.

How fun to plan a GCV stay! I'll add you to the pending list. Be sure to check back once your info is set.

It's by far my favorite time in the parks! People just seem to be a little nicer, and the Disney magic is alive and well. Have a wonderful trip!

 

[TreeDharni]

We hope to be there dec 8-12 staying at the Disneyland Hotel. We might end up at the PPH. Not so sure yet. We stayed at PPH last time (Oct 2012) and I really liked it. I have mixed feelings about DLH. I've read that hotel staff is less friendly and the walk is further than PPH (crossing over and using GC park entrance). I should know in a few weeks what everyone wants to do. I'm super happy I found this site. I love the ideas and suggestions. Super helpful for planning the best trip yet.

We really love PPH too, but have never stayed at DLH. I think you'll be fine either way.

I'll put you down for DLH - just let me know if you need that updated. Have a great trip!
