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

100% agree. They both have so many pros. I had to do a split stay this month because plans changed after booking and do you think my WTL confirmed at VGC to stay in the same room for all the nights? Absolutely not.

We walked our own luggage over to VDH and it was a breeze. Then got to take the monorail into the park and back which is another pro you don't get to do much when staying at VGC.

Our first split stay is coming up in February. Just in time to morn the loss of EE and the PP Gate . VDH is great. However during our stay, the monorail was down, so the walk at the end of the day was a killer. We are not as young was we once were! The views at VDH can be hit or miss as well. Some views are pretty industrial. The path from the lobby to the DVC Tower is also pretty serpentine when the pool gates are closed. Dont really understand why they did that! Paying the TOT at the end of the stay is also not pleasant. Our only problem was we valet parked the first day, then self parked the rest of the time. We were charged valet for the entire stay. A quick call cleared it up. I also had to call to get a copy of our bill and charges. At WDW I get an email the night before with the bill attached.

We will probably drive our luggage between the resorts as we always rent a car. Cannot wait for February to get here!

DW and I were just talking this weekend about how we like both VDH and VGC for different reasons.

VGC
Craftsman style rooms are a wonderful relaxing atmosphere after a long day at the parks

I agree up until this point –– the non-renovated rooms are at or below Motel 6 standards.

That is just not factually correct. I just got back from a week in a 2 bedroom.

I have only stayed in a Motel 6 once and that was a couple decades ago at least. Unless something has drastically changed with that chain, the oldest, most beat up room at VGC is more spacious and luxurious than a Motel 6 room.

And I was just recently in a studio. That's a ridiculous statement.

Which one?

Which one?

The one you responded to. No where near a Motel 6.

The amount of good will they would get for just changing out the shower heads….
