We live in LA and plan on driving in each day for four days while our relatives stay at the GCH. Should we park in the Mickey and Friends structure and pay each day, get the parking addition to the AP, or park at the GCH (if we can)???? Any parking tips from So Cal AP holders?

Parking at GCH is doubtful.
Many of the non-resort hotels even charge extra for parking!

If you wind up using Mickey and friends, the parking will run you $40.
That would make the $49 AP parking a good option.

How long on each day?

If you plan to just drop in and say hello, and grab a bite to eat, the Downtwon DIsney lot might be a good option.. 3 hours free, and 2 more with Validation from a food outlet at either a DtD location, or any of the DLR Hotel restaurants.

But if you plan to spend time in the parks, then you should think about adding the AP Parking Pass.

Thanks! I think we'll just get the parking with one of our passes.

It may be a logistical nightmare that is not worth the savings, but if one of the visiting relatives gets parkhoppers from AAA those include free parking at Mickey & Friends. Unfortunately, you would need the AAA PH ticket when you pull into the parking lot each morning. This alternative would take away a lot of your flexibility, but if you had already decided that you were going to stick to them like glue :D , it might be worth it! Good luck!

your guests at the GCH are provided two free parking passes for vehicles they bring as part of the resort fee they pay each day. if they are only bringing one vehicle, perhaps you can use the other, and park in GCH self-parking across the street.
