Can anyone there in the past week report back on the main pool and the waterslides? I have heard the monorail slides were closed for a repair. We check in Thursday - fingers crossed. Thanks!
We check in Friday and are also crossing our fingers! I called last week and the CM I talked to acted like the slides coule be open, but might close unexpectedly due to an issue they need to fix.Can anyone there in the past week report back on the main pool and the waterslides?

Hi! I had to make the downgrade to DLH Club Level from the Grand Club level to save us approx. $2,500 USD, (add more for exchange and it's even bigger savings) …. with the Cdn exchange that it just too big a difference to ignore. I know that GCH would have the optimal location, but Do you find the walk to the parks that horrible staying at DLH?? Our kids are staying across the road at Best Western Park Place Inn, so we will be meeting up with them daily somewhere....perhaps starbucks / DTD....not quite decided on the location yet. From what I've read, we can use the monorail to cut down some walking going to Disneyland?? What's the walk like going to DCA?? hard for me to picture the location as I haven't been to DL in 30 years! I am looking forward to our September visit! Maybe, just maybe we may get lucky and have a discount that would make staying at GCH more in reach, however.....If we need to stay put, I am excited for DLH, it is only the extra walking that is slightly worrying me!

^Added bonus!Trader Sam's right there and dole whips with rum!!!!
If you want to get an idea, take a look at Google Maps to see exactly where everything is in relationship to DLH as opposed to BWPPI. Switch to Satellite image. Use the little person in the lower right-hand corner, drag it over to the DLH entrance, and you can do a virtual walk through to see exactly what it looks like as you walk through DTD to the Esplanade. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.8063578,-117.9165314,928m/data=!3m1!1e3Hi!

...absolutely NOT! And that's coming from someone with osteoarthritis in both knees. From a WDW vet, the difference in how amazingly close everything is is simply astounding!Hi!

Thank you so much! That is a relief to know! My heart would love to switch back to GCH, but I just can't overlook that $2,500 difference, that's a lot of money that would go a long way towards paying for our food and other incidentals , as well as that light sabre DH wants to build . I think it's DLH for us unless something major changes in the next 68 days price wise! Wish I could afford to pay the difference so our boys could stay at DLH with us.... but it would be about $1,400 more added to what they are paying to stay at Best Western Park Place inn..... they are paying $1,300 for the 5 nights, and DLH is pricing at $2,700 for the most basic standard view. Guess they'll be meeting up with us, as that's still a substantial difference between the 2!...absolutely NOT! And that's coming from someone with osteoarthritis in both knees.

Anybody know if the slides are open yet?

I called the hotel and was just told that they have dates for the slides reopening. The week of 6/24 is the word they are getting.
I booked club level for DLH in November. We have stayed at all of the DL hotels at one point, but never CL. At WDW you have access to the lounges from whenever you check in (even if your room is not ready) until midnight of the day you check out. Even if your magic band does not work anymore the lounge CMs can cut you an access key card for the rest of that day. Is that how DL club level is too? We are working an hour away for the fall/winter and may want to do a few more 1-2 night stays. Thanks!
