I don’t usually stay here but here’s hoping it pushes prices down at GCH! And that the Disneyland Hotel is not far behind!

Thanks for the post. I just booked 5 nights at PPH for less than my 3 at GCH. I love the GCH, but cannot fathom paying $906 a night, it just doesn’t make sense when I have stayed there for much less. We only stayed at PPH once, so it will be nice to stay again.

I think that was a very sensible decision! I might do the same. A good time to try PPH.

I’m gonna try do this too. It was giving me the dead cattle last I checked but had work and a daughter that had to get dropped off at Athletics. I’m assuming it’s much more reasonable

Is that the one from Big Thunder?

Yessir. Which is what you look like when you get thru holding. Lol
I got the room on my phone while I waited in the long line at the pharmacy so the waiting must be done. It’s like almost half as expensive as GC. I mean $400/night versus $750ish. That’s a huge diff! I can walk 10 more min for $350 x 4 nights.
Edit. And it’s the only one I haven’t stayed at in Cali so I can collect it in my done column.

Which is still, you gotta admit, pretty steep!

That’s what I usually pay for the GC cuz I only stay on sale rates but we’ll see if they offer any this year with all those Cali residents feening for some Disney.

I was price checking today just for fun. GCH being the only option was $5800 for 5 day / 6 nights!
I did pick up a very fun 2nd job, working part-time at an Escape Room place. If I make only $100 extra per week I can upgrade to DLH by working 4 months. I usually don’t care about the hotel I stay at, but I’m really excited for this one.
I still don’t think, even with this “extra / easy” money, that I could justify a GCH visit. (Of course who knows… my current Disney Countdown is at 576 days right now… I did all the math for the total Disney countdown with all the COVID delays / rescheduling is / will be approximately 1160 days!!)

So sad! That is a LONG time to go without Disney! Here’s hoping this is the last delay.

I know… right! It was early March 2019 that I last went to a theme park!

I’m hoping DLH opens soon too! I booked a couple of nights in November at VGC with DVC points, but would love to add on a night at the DLH. Two bucket list stays in one trip! I have never stayed onsite at DLR.

I too can’t wait for DLH. Steakhouse 55 for the Classic afternoon tea and Trader Sam’s too.

I love this! I am always doing “if I work a few extra hours, then I can do this extra fun” math. I think it keeps me sane. I’m rooting for you and your fun vacay!

This is off-topic…
The queue waits at Disneyland / DCA are crazy low since reopening. Maybe they are “actually” using a reduced capacity. I made a faux TP for DLR/DCA this week and it’s been running smoothly w/ shockingly low wait times! (Today, nothing at DCA has been over 5 minutes for the first two hours of operation)
EDIT - RSR has shot up to a 50 minute wait about 40 minutes after I wrote this. (It could be a technical issue or something, as every other attraction is still under 10 minutes)

That’s awesome!
RSR is posted at only 25 minutes, atm, - probably less than 20 actual.
I do remember how slow WDW was when it first opened & now it’s packed.
From today (image = Attractions 360)
Why are they even having cavalcades anymore? Just do a full parade!

He’s gotta catch back up to his previous pace!

One of my biggest “theme park regrets” when I worked there is not counting the number of times I’ve been on something.
Like I know for a fact I’ve done a couple rides that I worked at, literally, hundreds of times - but it would be fun to know that it might have been 728 times exactly!
