This will be our first time staying at the Villas at the Grand Californian hotel. I know World of Color will be playing the night we are there, can you see the show from the rooms? if you can is it only the higher up rooms? and how best to get one. Also do they have a channel you can listen to the audio on?

Is there someplace on the internet that has all the information they give out at guest relations about wheel chair access. My aunt can transfer from her chair but she cannot stand up unassisted. I want to be a little better informed than the last time she went with my mom. And the last time I went to Disneyland with her was about fifteen years ago, so a lot has changed since then I am sure.

Edited: I found this website: http://adisneyland.disney.go.com/media/dlr_v0200/en_US/help/Mobility_201009.pdf
Are there any locations any of you know to be easier to navigate, less crowded, wider walkways, any tips are useful.

Will captain EO still be there on September 26th? She used to really like that show.

Thank you

Here is the Disneyland info on Mobility Disabilities (http://disneyland.disney.go.com/plan/guest-services/mobility-disabilities/). If you have a specific question, feel free to ask.

Some of the Villas have a view of World of Color, but not a very good one. Last time I spoke to DVC cast members they did say that the soundtrack was going to be available in the rooms but not sure if that has happened yet.

Captain EO will definitely still be playing. Enjoy!

Actually, the view of the show from the park view rooms in the GCV is quite good.

Here are some photos that I took from our balcony on July 4 (http://picasaweb.google.com/bigbeaks/WorldOfColorJuly42010)

Here are some videos. (http://picasaweb.google.com/bigbeaks/WorldOfColor7410#)


They do have the show audio available on the room TVs, but you won't really need it if you have the balcony door opened. The sound is loud and clear just from the in-park sound system.
