Security located at the entrance to DTD. Those coming thru this entrance are generally guests of the DLH, PPH, and guests who walk from nearby hotels. Generally, it is fairly quick to get thru. Guests who park are generally going thru security at the parking structure or if they walk from the structure, they enter by the ESPN zone. The GCH entrance to DCA is pretty limited and is very busy until about 30-45 mins after the park opens. I personally will use the front gates if entering within the first hour because it is so busy.Are you fighting with people who parked to get though security? For CA we can’t use the grand Californian entrance?
End of juneWhen are you staying at DLH? I ask because if it’s in July or later we don’t know what the procedures for getting to the park will be.
The fastest way to get there is to walk. The monorail is a slower process at Disneyland than at WDW.tell me about getting to the each of the parks? Walk? How does there monorail work? What’s the fastest and least crowded. First day CA second day DL with the extra magic hour. I got my max pass so I know I have to scan in to start the FP process.

Yes there are other ways to the parks, they suck but they exist. Disney will have to tear up the entire thing to build the foundation for the new hotel as well as the hotel itself. Remember the new hotel is going to be right up to the monorail. For the demolition and foundation creating time it is entirely feasible imho a different system will in place to funnel in DLH/PPH guests. Whether it’s crossing the street to the Grand (ugh! Hope NOT! Security can suck as it is!) or moving the security clearing waaaay left of DLH when entering DtD where guests then take a tram shuttle in- who knows? Neither of those options are attractive but both are possible. Will anyone like it? No. Will the majority of people who are planning to return someday complain but ultimately return? Yes. And those that don’t are easily replaced by the new demand that will be created with SWL, Marvel Land and the new hotel. I remember what people were put through with the GCH remodel! Remember the months on end reports of people staying club level at GCH eating in the outdoors, freezing & sweating depending on the month? Having the privilege of dining in tables and chairs set up in grass? If Disney is willing to do that to club level GCH guests they will have zero qualms telling PPH/DLH guests to walk an extra half mile or wait an extra 20 mins to get to the parks. Yes, they’ll try to tunnel people through the construction zone as long as possible but imho people going after July 1 need to be aware things could be very different. Even if it’s just for a super short time if it’s the week of a person’s vacay it will hurt a bit less if they know stuff could be different from what they read online. Maybe it never happens, maybe Disney very carefully sections the construction out and does stuff overnight so guests can always walk through somewhere so it all goes down as you suspect it will but personally I would not count on that.They will walk, just like they do now. There is no other reasonable way to get guests to the parks. They will maintain a walkway during the construction.
Then you’re good to go! The walk is nice and easy. Agree with skipping the monorail during EMH!End of june
Considering how fast Disney moves sometimes it could be Thanksgiving before we see any action!I doubt we will see much demolition during the summer (during July/Aug.) The restaurants close in June. But once they close, it will still be a couple months to get the equipment moved out prior to demo.

I hope you’re right! Going early August. I’d hate to spend DLH big bucks and have some weird walk. Ugh.Considering how fast Disney moves sometimes it could be Thanksgiving before we see any action!
