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

Ok…so in addition to losing early entry, and the Pixar place gate…. DCA closes at 9pm every night and Disneyland at 11pm….

Screw this new management team…

What a downer. DCA has been 9-10pm for a while now, but DL at 11 is awful. We have younger kids, live local, and RARELY stay past 10:30, but many of the best memories of my childhood (teen hood) are the low crowds and extra rides from 11:30-12:00.

Really think Disney is cannibalizing its next generation of die hards to save a few pennies (or extract some extra bucks) today. Private equity style management.

We would frequently stay at DCA until 10pm and then head over to DLand until midnight…. The shorter lines and lower crowds really made us feel like we were getting our money’s worth out of staying on-site…

We have always been stay as late as possible people.

Some our best memories with our kids has been staying late. I remember being at DLR with my daughter when she was 10 on 12/23 it was a light drizzle and very late we felt alone in the park and it was amazing.

Yes, magical memories!

Most teenagers are not “early riser” people they are “night owls”…. This move pushes people out of DCA and into DL earlier and then those extra hours will be more crowded and less “magical”….

Thankfully, we don't really "need" more points for a couple more years (probably.) So I'm definitely going to be keeping my eye on things. Well, I'll have to rely on all of you to tell me how booking looks since I can't see any of it as a lowly resale-only person. Ha!

As you keep your eye on things, consider checking out the Fixed Week thread:
https://www.disboards.com/threads/a...cv-aul-vgf-poly-tower-vhd-fwc-charts.3806985/

Apologies in advance if it impacts your DVC purchases as much as it did mine.

We typically stay 6 nights but often consider adding a 7th night.

There is your answer... fixed week 1 bedroom and no worries on being able to snag a 1 bedroom anymore

This was why I asked. But I am biased.
