It really is without peer.

In the US, at least. We're trying out Hotel MiraCosta at Tokyo Disney in November, will see how it compares!

The Pier entrance by CornDog castle has to be a game changer from the DVC wing!!?

I was referencing within the DVC system.

It really feels like a private DVC wing entrance and exit….

As I understand it even us Second Class VDH owners can use it, or am I mistaken?

It is.... but I don't use it often. It bypasses the experience/Buena Vista St that imagineers developed as the 'opening'. I like walking the street, it makes me feel stuff. Corn dogs make me feel regret. And full.

It's literally 100 ft for most of our stays since ce we prefer 1st.floor and tend to get the ones closer to the elevators.

Si ce the reopening of that, we've changed our dinners and desserts to include more paradise grill and corn dogs and nasty habit of closing out that churro cart

I can agree with that. And I will still use the main entrance at least once a day, because I love Buena Vista Street. (gotta get churro toffee at least once)

BUT… I’m thinking first thing in the morning I can run down to get checked in (in my PJs) to make a reservation with multi pass and go back to the room.

Pixar Peer, Disneyland Hotel, and Grand Cal guests can use it. It’s the proximity to the VGC wing of Grand Cal that makes it feel like a DVC VIP Entrance.

Second Class VDH… yikes! I think there are a lot of people that own at both for flexibility.

We are planning on adding on at VGC. We have a Trip the end of February and will be checking it out. This will be our first trip to DLR since pre-covid. Really looking forward to it.

Gotcha. Then absolutely!

I’d put that new hotel at Disneyland Paris up at the very top I think….

True. These hotels IN the park are on our list. Mira Costa for disneysea and disneyland hotel of Paris. The Paris hotel was closed when we went a few years ago sadly.

Yeeessss! So good. We are ground floor room this time so it was so quick to get there, then no line at 2:50pm for OBB

They don’t check so anyone can use it, I could see it being busy in the mornings though since it’s open to anyone.

I’ve never been a 1st floor room person, I love a good view. But I am now a convert and will request it every time.

It’s not open to anyone. Only people staying at one of the Disney resorts.

Sorry Westin peeps…

that’s great to hear, I thought they had reverted to allowing anyone to use it.
