Would it work to move onsite...

What I am thinking is to stay at HOJO's Sat-Tue. We would get the 3 day tickets that include one MM.

Go into DL on Sunday with the MM that comes with the ticket.
Take Monday off....
Tuesday we would move to the Grand Californian early and go for a second MM since we would now be "guests".
Wed. we would then be able to enter CA early to get passes to WOC.

Would this work?

hmmm... I am thinking it wouldn't work because the MM is tied to the 3-day ticket packet I believe, not the hotel.

I may be wrong, been awhile since We've been to DL....

Yes, that would work since on-site guests get to take advantage of MM each day that it is offered. You could check into the GCH early, before MM, and have them hold your luggage until your room is ready, then head off and enjoy your MM.

You are half-right. The 3-day PH come with MM, but what the OP is referring to is that when you stay at one of the DLR hotels (GCH, PPH, DLH) you have access to every MM offered during your stay.

OP - Your plan sounds good to me!!

OP: in you situation, you will use your ticket for access to the MM on Sunday.

When you have a DLR hotel room key you show that along with your PH to get into a MM. This is also how you will enter DCA early, with the hotel room key along with your PH.

When you have a DLR hotel room key you show that along with your PH to get into a MM (on Tuesday). This is also how you will enter DCA early (on Wednesday, with the hotel room key along with your PH.

This is exactly how it would work.

Just make sure you get everyone up & over to the GCH early enough. (I'd get to the GCH desk at least one hour before MM starts).

As mentioned in DLR29's MM superthead.......MM is available both on the day one checks out AND on the day one checks in (& all days in between ).....no matter HOW EARLY they check in.

You'd be maxing out on the bennies of your GCH stay (two different entry benefits on a one night stay). Great way to end a DLR visit at a beautiful hotel.

That is true now, you get MM everyday if you are onsite. I think years ago, we only got one MM.

Thank you so much for your responses. I thought that it would work but wanted to check with those who have had more experience with Disneyland...we are Disney World folks and a bit out of our element.
