Re: Can't decide, DL Hotel or Grand Californian.

I know, I am afraid of comparing it to Wilderness Lodge too. When I went in June we ate breakfast at Storyteller's Cafe and took plenty of time to look around the lobby. I can identify the distinct design differences and it does have a different feel overall but it is indeed "grand." I really don't know where I lay on this issue honestly. Since going to DL is not as frequent an occassion as visiting WDW for us I kinda thought it would be silly to repeat a resort and stay at DL Hotel again. Ya know, try something different. I am also not sure if DH would appreciate the subtle DL nostalgia as DL Hotel as I would, he definately tends to lean towards the "grand" more. Hmm, this is tough.

I also think 3 nights would be just fine b/c thats how long my Dad and I had and we felt like we had EXTRA time!!

OOOOOOHHHHH, there is ALSO the possibility of staying 2 nights GC, 2 nights DL Hotel. What do you think about that?
