The Official VILLAS at DISNEYLAND HOTEL (Discovery Tower) Owners and Fans Info Thread

Thanks. And since I can only have limited Waitlist slots, are there more Preferred-View Deluxe Studios than the other types of studios?

Yes.

Our trip is this weekend and I have done almost no planning since I’ve been so busy. No planning is so unlike me. Can anyone point me to a place to view or can anyone tell me the quickest and/or easiest way to get from VDH to each of the parks? The security line situations change so often and I am not up to date.

DCA- Pixar Pier entrance.

Dland- There is really only one option, the security gate into downtown Disney.

Yep. I'm starting to love the feature to build maps and paths in google earth.



.43 miles from VDH to the back. Sadly that's only open until noon now. Just cut through and use the other entrance after that. The choice to go though the entrance closer to the DTD entrance and not the roundabout was due to they sometimes blocking that area to setup for a wedding.

Thanks!! I think I got it figured out, sometimes I’m not great with directions . I used this entrance from VGC but I didn’t from VDH last time.

Thanks for the heads up. In February we rope dropped through the entrance with no problems. VDH room key badged us through the gate. No issues when clearing through security and ticketing at DCA.

We have an upcoming trip in January and will stay at VDH again. Will keep a look out to see if it’s changed or not.

Curious if you did EE through the Pixar entrance in January? Sorry if you already updated and I didn’t see it.

I was going to post this here for our use but then I thought it would be better to make it a more general chat/thread in the resorts page.

Overall VDH does very well compared to some popular walks at WDW. Yea compared to VGC it's not as close but it gives other walks a good fight for ease/distance.

We've struck out twice on getting an E-Ticket pool facing 1 bedroom. Fingers crossed for our Fall trip!

No, just an outside bar stop at Tangaroa Terrace.
