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

You haven't seen some of the views I've had here!

I noticed a conversation about lack of real dishes in DVC studios. Paper products are actually kind of disgusting when I'm in a Deluxe resort (I have no problem with them when I'm camping or eating outdoors).

Score one big point for VDH studios. I'm very happy to have my clunky authentic coffee cup today.

I think the cup just needs to be a lil bit taller. You get coffee splashes all over because it’s so short.

The dishes part is nice. The Duo has the real stuff too..all in a cute pair of each item.

I really thought my mom (in her 80s) was going to want to do Aulani next year, but she surprised me...sounds like we are all going to finally see VDH in person! (yes, I bought sight unseen, but have stayed at Disneyland Hotel, forever ago!)

Yay! You're going to have a great time. Glad you get to use it right away.

Do the studios at VDH have a dishwasher? I thought they did but now I can't recall. I probably should have "explored" the rooms a bit more but our son wasn't haven't the best day when we visited.

Here are pictures from rooms within the last 2 years at Aulani, Grand Cal, and Boardwalk…. these are FANTASTIC views.

No. I think the only studios that have a dishwasher might be at Poly Tower.

Oh. Bummer. That must be what I was thinking. I guess I assumed all the newer studios had them. Not really needed but would still be nice.

Unfortunately, they don't and I don't see an easy way for them to add it in the future.

Who here goes to Tangaroa Terrace for breakfast? Does it take a long time to get your food? Is it hard to find a table?

I watched some videos on youtube to get an idea but they were all terrible videos that just irritated me. I don't want to see some blogger's face or watch them eat. So I figured I'd ask the experts here.

I’ve been a few times. Didn’t seem difficult getting a table. Food was quickly ready but I think most of it is already prepared. I’ve also picked up their breakfast and taken it back yo the room at VDH. It was quick and convenient for us January this year.

We saw this at DLR last weekend.. was interesting watching a girl eat her food with a huge DSLR camera with boom mic in her face.

Oh and to answer your question. We ate breakfast there and the place was basically empty. It wasn’t our recent trip it was in March.

Not the question you asked, and I haven't ever been, but I did just watch a video showing actual room service breakfast and dinner that was available at VDH. Since you've mentioned your kiddo getting overstimulated easily, I thought that might be useful potentially (assuming this still exists!). It appears it's probably still available! https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland-hotel/in-room-dining/

I want to know if anyone actually enjoys watching someone eat? I mean, show the plate of food, sure. But do people like watching someone take bites and chew their food? Hard pass!

Thanks, I'll check it out. We never do room service but I would love to. My husband typically "wins" because going to breakfast and sitting outside is one of his favorite things when we're at VGC. I enjoy most mornings but if it's crowded at all, I'm not a fan.

Yep it’s still available.

Yes it's my preferred place to get breakfast. Normally, it doesn't take long to get the food. They also offer mobile orders, but not the full menu. We've always been able to get a table. Since it's morning, the tables used by the walk up bar window are available, too.

I’m a big Tangaroa Terrace fan. For breakfast it’s usually a bring back to the room.

At Craftsman we always eat outside. But at VDH, the walk from Tangaroa back to the rooms doesn't seem that bad.
