We are going to CA for a family wedding and a 1 day trip to DL is slowly turning into 4 nights at an on property hotel. This is due to a lack of self control.
Anyway, since I am booking so late it looks like I have narrowed it down a bit but can't decide. Should I do Concierge at PP, or DLH without Concierge ? I keep trying but it looks like I can no loner get Concierge at DLH or I would snag that. What do you guys think?

Well, it depends on how important Concierge is to you. We've never done concierge and therefore don't know what we are missing - so we'd go with DLH, since it's the original and (from what I hear) is better than PP. But if Concierge will help make up for any "lacking" the rooms may have or whatnot, then PP is totally conceivable.

What about Grand Californian - is it too far out of budget?

Strange double post!

I have never done concierge, but I would go with the DLH, myself.

I like the themeing a lot better at the DLH.

I called DL ressies directly and it turns out I can get Concierge at DLH...so the plot thickens. I have never had concierge either and kind of wanted to splurge. The one think I don't want to do is have to worry about getting to and from the park and it taking time like I feel it does at WDW...so that was why I was trying to stick on property.
I am having a hard time deciding. And GC doesn't seem so out of budget when you have added concierge to the other hotels...lol.

In that case, go for GC without concierge. You still get Disney service and GC is connected to the parks, so you're the closest you can get! It's the only one that I consider "closer" than some of the off-properties on Harbor. And boy, is it a nice place!

I would also add that imho all 3 of the Disney hotels are close to the Parks. Grand Californian is definitely closest since it has direct access into DCA. DLH is a short walk to the monorail which takes you into the heart of DL, not just the main entrance. It's also just a slightly longer walk from DLH through Downtown Disney to get to the main entrance for both DL and DCA.

i think you just need to decide if the concierge splurge is worth it, hehe. If it were me, I'd go concierge at DLH just because I love the idea of it. The Grand Californian is beautiful, but I checked out my friend's room there about a year or so ago, and it looked pretty small imho.
