    Spencer your attention to detail and commentary on all your vlogs is one of a kind. The knowledge you have about Disney, Walt Disney and Disneyland’s history is amazing

    It's crazy to me how outdated this hotel is for the price.

    Oh wow- I watched a couple other videos of the new DVC lounge in Tomorrowland, and no one noticed or pointed out the detail you did!! I first saw it on a livestream where they just sort of rushed through and I though it looked boring! But you were able to see and point out so much more- thank you so much for that! Love the "old" Tomorrowland too (and really miss it). Great video! 😍

    DVC lounge looks impressive, and it pulled at my heartstrings when I saw the WED logo mural because I was an Imagineer at WED/MAPO during the late 70s / early 80s. Many fond memories of designing and building EPCOT while there.

    Have stayed here several times and ALWAYS worth the price! Being able to easily walk back to the hotel and take a break mid day is so wonderful.

    Oh we miss it so much. We stayed here last year for May th 4th. What a blast we had. Thanks for this vlog, brought back some serious memories that I'll never ever forget. The coffee shop in the corner was perfect every morning & we did find that quiet nook outside to chill by the fireplace & watch the monorail come by....thanks again guys! We'll deff be back here!

    I went there for my 30th and it was soooo fun. Highly recommend doing the character breakfast- my inner child was giddy the entire time, and Napa Rose was a lovely dinner for sure! So many good memories!

    Stellar vid🎉 Spencer is super good at walk & talk through, so we really get the picture! My son's and I stayed there (and the DL Hotel) but missed the deck...I watched your videos prior to our trip for planning purposes, and now watch for when we (hopefully 🙏🤞) go back. Thx!

    There is also a S-1 space station model by Disney at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum. I wonder if there are several in existence. Thanks for the room tour, and especially the DVC lounge tour---love it!

    Interesting, I thought that side entrance was only for Pixar Pier guests. We used it back in October and it was so nice when we started our morning at DCA! They should update the sign if guests staying at the Grand can actually use it.

    Great video and all the attention to detail. Question? Can non hotel guests enjoy the outdoor eating area at Craftsman Grill?

    • @aimeeyork6319
      @aimeeyork6319 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Anyone can eat at any of the establishments there, guest or not, and the Craftsman Grill was one of our favorite restaurants throughout DL, California Adventure and DT Disney❣️ Tried practically everything on the menu and the only item that was less than stellar were the sliders. Dry buns...

    Disney needs to focus less on the pride parade and more on renovating their hotel
