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

Not seeing "Art Deco," and never thought of Sleeping Beauty that way, but I like what I see regardless!

That's because it isn't Art Deco, it's Mid-Century Modern.

Makes a lot more sense.

Target is offering a $20 giftcard when you spend $100 on Disneyland Tickets on case anyone is looking for tickets

Hey DVC/VDH family. I'm not sure if someone already posted (been working crazy hours to catch up on projects so I'm behind on my Disboards reading), one of my favorite sites now has VDH points and scheduling added.

Morning all. I made the nice list. Santa brought me a Mickey and Minnie waffle maker.

These look lovely! I got a Mickey and Pluto toaster

Its been forever since we've been to DL. Is it true that for ADRs, I have to book each day even with a reservation at VDH?

Sadly yes....

Disneyland seems to be more of a 1-2 night stay resort, so I'm hoping more DVC can bring some changes to better accommodate longer stay and the entire staying on premise better. ADR and he refillable drink mugs are the two of the higher ones on my list, but longer ticket lengths (current max is 5) or Magical Key reservations for ever day of your stay (like in WDW) is the top of my want list.

4 nights with a 5-day hopper is pretty much all you need. I can't imagine they have much need for longer tickets available... Until they open the 3rd gate, or DisneylandForward.

We’ll be there for 3 nights with our 4 year old. I wish DL would offer the extended ADR window and more rides on Genie+. I was surprised when I looked at the list today that not many little kid friendly rides were on there. We go in April and my little guy isn’t 40” yet and might not get there by then. We got 3 day PH with Genie+ with the TripAdvisor deal so at least we get free photo pass with that. How does photo pass work at DL if you don’t have MB+?

You can get a card from the photographers and link it to the app. Then have them scan it when you take pics.

I thought the same about Genie+ when we went.

But, you can easily do all of the Fantasyland rides at early entry, with minimal lines. Then you could go straight to Pirates.

I still felt like Genie+ was worth it for HM, Big Thunder, MMRR, Indiana Jones, etc.

Definitely little bummed that pirates was not on the list. That was my 4 year old's favorite ride this year at WDW. He's actually pretty good waiting in line so hopefully the wait won't be too long.

 

[tx911]

I think you'll be fine! Maybe in your case do Pirates first for your little buddy

Has anyone used mobile check in for the VDH? How did it go? When I check in at the front desk, I normally like giving some room preferences (eg away from elevator). There’s no real way to do that in the app.. right?

Call MS to add requests to the reservation ahead of time.

I used mobile check in a couple of weeks ago although I didn't do any requests. Had a standard view studio and with no balcony I find it just doesn't seem to matter as much at DLH (hotel or now DVC). Got a very satisfactory room. Close to elevator but end of hall and view towards what I expected. Just needed to get signed onto the hotel wifi to have a signal strong enough to open the door with my phone.

Maybe I missed it, but if staying in a studio do you have access to free laundry?

No laundry in a studio, but there is a laundry room you can use, as for cost I’m not sure, but I would assume it is free.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Yes. It's a very nice laundry room on the 1st floor. There was a basket with detergent when I looked in. What I didn't investigate was if you needed to pick up tokens from the front desk or someplace but would guess so. That is how it works at VGC.
