We love the view from these rooms and actually prefer it over the theme park view. It seems like most of the time we are over World of Disneyland and a couple of times we have been farther down Downtown Disney. We enjoy watching people head in the park, the action and music from Downtown Disney, and the fireworks.
Originally Posted By MickeyMommy Most of the posts here about those rooms have been very positive. I booked that category on our last trip to GCH, but I was upgraded to a park view instead. That view was great, but I am still really looking forward to trying out the DTD view since I have heard so many good things about it here. I have stayed many times in the DTD view rooms at DLH, and it is my favorite view there. I love hearing the music from DTD and seeing all the people coming and going. So, hey, I have a good excuse to splurge on the GCH again! Gotta try that DTD view!

Originally Posted By LuLu I've only stayed once, paid AP standard rate ($149 at the time, geez) and got DTD view. Loved it!

Originally Posted By SuzieQ I LOVE the DTD view rooms. We've stayed in five or six different ones and have always had a fabulous view. I much prefer it over the theme park view. We love to people watch from our balcony and watch the fireworks at night.

Originally Posted By kari12177 i'm hoping we get a good view, my husband is too excited to sleep in, so he's a early riser. He likes to go on the balcony and watch everything and let us sleep in. Last time we had a standard view and he watched the monorail all morning
Originally Posted By LacyBelle The DTD rooms are more expensive than the standard, so if you've reserved (and even perhaps paid) for a DTD room I'm sure you'll get it, kari. We always reserve DTD view, because we love the atmosphere on that side...watching the people, listening to the musicians in the evening, etc. We were upgraded to a DCA view one time. While we enjoyed watching DCA's lights at night and waking up in the morning, we prefer the DTD rooms. Have a great stay!
