Great price!
Our whole holiday was booked last minute - the flights a few weeks before and some other elements whilst we were in the bar at the hotel airport the night before we flew. Still other elements, such as a flight from LA to SFO and a hotel in SFO whilst were out there. Just checking back at that email, our hotel booking was made on August 7th, and was on a "Special Offer: Summer Savings Room Offer". |

Good point- renting points would be a very good way to go at the cash prices.

We stayed for 4 nights in a 2 bed suite with an added bedroom so we all had our won room and a sitting room in the turret. It was money well spent - we have stayed in same configuration at both Orlando and Paris (a few times) and experience is worth it if you can afford it. When travelling alone the Marriott is more than adequate for me

We are going next August. I would LOVE to stay there but it’s so expensive, I just can’t justify those prices. Even the cheapest “onsite” hotel Paradise Pier is a crazy price and in my opinion doesn’t look great and is actually much further away than some offsite hotels.
I have looked at partner hotel package booked with Disney but according to the dis boards, it’s more of a pain if you have to cancel rather than just booking the hotel direct and tickets with Disney. Also they offer an insurance if you have to cancel but not applicable for International guests. However Partner hotels package includes the price with tax. Disney hotels don’t come with the tax included in the price and when you see the final cost it jumps massively! If I can swing it I’m going to go for Courtyard by Marriott Themepark entrance, if not HOJO or Hyatt House at Anaheim Convention centre. I’ve found picking a hotel a nightmare! One thing I’ve found people book a lot later and some prices aren’t available yet.

Claudette - we’ve stayed there twice and it’s a lovely hotel in a perfect location.
No way on earth would I pay the crazy prices being quoted on this thread, though.

Two nights would be easier to justify but I have never been so want to stay longer and don’t want to split stay Anaheim as I already have a few hotel changes elsewhere factored in. Mind you, at least I get my room serviced if I am changing more often. I am still undecided either way.

So, for my likely dates, a 4-night stay 24-28th July, having found someone with points to rent out...
Booking GC with Disney: $795/night = $3180 = c£2335 Renting points with David's: $2,080 = c£1525 Renitng points with owner direct: 104 points @ $18/pt = $1872 = c£1375 Tax will need to be added to the Disney booking, not sure if David's are required to add tax also. DVC rental are for a studio. A 1-bed is exactly twice those amounts. Renting points is the way to go! |

You don’t add tax with DVC rental, parking is also free so that’s another $25 a day saved (if that’s what they charge at GC).

Your thought process sounds exactly like our own which kinda went...
"Disneyland hotel is so much more than the off-site hotels across the road." "...but we really want to stay there" "Maybe we'll do a few nights off-site and then go to to the Disneyland hotel for a night or two." "Ah, sod it, let's book the whole thing at the Disneyland Hotel!" We made the right decision! |

Yeah, I know you wouldn't renting points from a owner directly, but wasn't sure via David's as they are a company providing a service.
Thanks for confirming anyway! |
