I've found that the earlier the check-in the better the lines. I would try to go as early as possible.A couple questions-
When is the best time to arrive for check in? Best for us with young kids is avoiding a long check in line if at all possible. The soonest we could get there is 9 or 10 am but could take our time and arrive a little later. We are arriving Saturday after Thanksgiving 11/24, which the crowd predictor websites say will be packed for the parks.
We have reserved a room with a courtyard view. With young kids we still do baths. Are there courtyard view rooms with a bathtub? Is it worth requesting one with a tub?

No personal experience, but there are large (commercial type) refrigerator and freezer in the luggage storage room.so I inquired with a cast member this morning and they said I could have amazon fresh deliver there but only non perishable foods. Anyone one have other experiences? I just want some fruit and milk along with snacks....
There are microwaves in the vending room near the main lobby (GREEN).- I’m staying in a standard room at GCH the 1st week of Dec.
Since White Water Snacks may still be closed, does anyway know if there are any microwaves available for guests to use (to warm up leftovers, baby milk)? Someone had mentioned they’re available on every floor near the ice machines and wondering if that was still true.
The refrigerator seems cold enough to store milk (I did not check for a temp control)- Are the refrigerators in the room cold enough for storing milk? Is there a way to control the temp?
Rooms have Samsung LCD TVs. Wall mount allows TV to be pulled away from the wall to access inputs.- What type of TV in the room? Are there DVD players? Are there audio/video jacks?
No grab bars.- Do the newly remodeled rooms have grab bars in the showers for disabled people?

There are no DVD players (might be available on request).
I have used Amazon Fire TV to stream (Roku and Apple TV have issues).
No grab bars.
You might want to call and book a Handicap Accessible room. There are several different HA configurations, so you can book what you need -- these are guaranteed.
Refrigerators are definitely cold enough to store milk. We have done that several times, including 2 weeks ago.
I had order thru Vons delivery the past 3 years. I notice when I log in to Vons it now goes to Pavillions.
Is it the same?
If you're a member of Amazon Prime, you can also order fruit, milk, etc. through them.so I inquired with a cast member this morning and they said I could have amazon fresh deliver there but only non perishable foods. Anyone one have other experiences? I just want some fruit and milk along with snacks....
Thanks! I had planned on that til they said they wouldn’t take non perishables but from other responses I’m going to just chance it. Not like I’ll be ordering much!If you're a member of Amazon Prime, you can also order fruit, milk, etc. through them.
Are you sure you have "garden view"? I think that view type was eliminated.1) We have a garden view booked. Do we want to ask for something near the Napa Rose elevators? What floor? Is the Napa Rose area good because it is centrally located between the lobby and California Adventure?
5 adults on your reservation, should automatically cause a daybed to be assigned (based on some posts). You might want to call GCH and make a specific request, and certainly verify when you check in. Unfortunately bed assignments are not guaranteed (an ongoing issue with DLR onsite hotels), but you will not get a bunk bed -- they no longer exist after the remodel.2) We have 5 in our party. Will we automatically get 2 queens and a day bed? We don't want the bunk beds!
Some answers:

The elevators adjacent to Napa Rose are near the DCA entrance, which is convenient. I like to request high floors, but those tend to be Club Level near the Napa Rose elevators.
