    DL Southern Cal 4 day Escape vs 6 day

    If you have done the 4 day Disneyland and Southern California escape recently, were you happy with the trip or did you leave wishing you had done the 6 day? What do you do on day 2 at the Studios/Archives that takes a full day? We have been to Los Angeles and Disneyland more times than we can...

    Flexible refund policy for covid?

    At this point, I can't find an end date for the flexible refund policy for covid but I can't imagine that Disney will keep it around forever. What are the chances that Disney will give us a heads up that it is going away before final payments are due? We have a placeholder on a short cruise in...

    Unable to Add Daughter to my Reservation

    Can you change the name of the daughter on the hotel reservation so that it matches the name on the ticket? As long as they are not the one checking in, I don't think Disney will check their id.

    Surprise for 18 year-old daughter

    If you find yourself at the WOC dessert party and they take you down all the way to the right at the end of the section closest to pixar pier, ask for a different seat. It looks like a good seat but is in fact along steps that form a major entry/exit walk way. Our view consisted of people...

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    We have stayed in that location several times in what used to be the only rooms with a regular daybed over the front entrance and had problems with the hot water on a reoccurring basis. One time the front desk told us it was because it was morning and lots of people were getting ready to go the...

    9 AM LAX Flight Airport hotel the night b4?

    It takes us about 45 minutes with no traffic to get to LAX from Anaheim. I'd give myself an hour to get to the airport at that time of the morning and an extra 30-45 minutes if returning a rental car. If I had a 9 am flight and a rental car, I would be on the road by 5:15 and would enjoy the...

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    Are there any quiet rooms in GF Sugarloaf? We have a standard room booked in SL but I am nervous with all the comments about hearing lounge noise in the rooms. Do cast members serve wine and beer in the evening?

    Tips for navigating LAX with kids

    The traffic around the airport can be really bad. Depending on the amount of luggage you have, it might be worth it to drag it all to the rental car bus. If at possible, I would avoid having to circle around the airport for picking up the rest of the family. Definitely look into online...

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    I might call the hotel directly and ask when they expect the projects to be done. Even if they are done with the porte cochere project in 60 days, I don't see the pool area being completed and or any quick service dining being available. When we stay at the Grand, we realize that we are paying...

    We just returned from three nights at the GC and I think that Disney has failed to inform guests of the impact of the construction. The porte cochere construction impacts the standard rooms at the front of the hotel and has slowed down access to the hotel. It took us 25 minutes to make the...

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    We left a week or so ago and I would be astonished if all rooms are done. It looked like they were in the beginning stages of the construction of an entire wing of rooms right off the lobby. The scaffolding was just going up on that section and it was very much a construction zone. The...

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    I think most, if not all, of the upper floors are curtained off with dark coverings on 2 or 3 sides of the lobby. So the lobby floor wasn't curtained off with the exception of one door but it was overall dark, dusty and loud. No idea how long it will take them to finish but I might have low...

    Automatic door next to gift shop leading to Storytellers is blocked off. I think they are working on the floor.

    These are pictures of the temporary club level lounge. I should mention that they are offering reserved seating for one offering a day from world of color, fireworks, Frozen, Soundsational parade and maybe Disney Junior show. They are also sending characters every other day into Napa Rose at...

    We had a club level stay and I don't think Disney could have tried less on the cl lounge. It is set in grass that is quickly becoming trampled and muddy and has views of construction scrims and noise on 2 of 4 sides. Breakfast was nice in Napa Rose but the outside location is almost the least...
