    We will be there Dec 19-22 and will be staying at Hojos. This is the 2nd year in a row that our school calendar has enough days before Christmas to fit a trip in. We’re super excited and plan on upgrading to Annual Passes while we’re there!

    $100 more for Hojo, is it worth it?

    I just made the same decision and booked at Hojo... glad I did after reading about the new security! We haven't stayed there in a few years and my kids are way too old for the water park. It was the charge for parking that made me switch my decision!

    Disneyland AND Universal...Can it/should it be done?

    We did this last summer. We came in by Amtrak and did 5 days at Disney. Then rented a car and went to Catalina Island for the day. We went from there up to Universal. We stayed at the Sheraton and purchased our tickets online for that day. We were able to get everythng done in a day. We flew...

    I've used Karmel Shuttle quite a few times and have only had other people in the van once!

    Can we discuss shoes?

    I rotate between Keens and Telic - https://telic.com - that are an amazing pair of flip flops. The only complaint is that if you have lotion on your feet and your feet get wet, they can be incredibly slippery!

    Disneyland Restaurant Advice

    I try to make Carnation Cafe reservations during a Main Street Parade... then ask to be seated outside. I do the same in CA Adventure at Wine Country Trattoria. My youngest is 13, so we're happy with just hearing the music and seeing parts of the parade! I also agree with pp and suggest...

    ** JULY 2017 CHECK-IN **

    We will be there sometime in July also! My dh and I are celebrating our 25th anniversary at Aulani over Spring Break so I'm trying to hold off on planning my yearly escape to DL or WDW with my mom and daughter. We're going to buy our 4 day passes now before they go up! As soon as that is...

    Running early AM in DTD?

    Years ago we stayed at the Howard Johnson and I would run down Harbor turn onto Katella then onto Disneyland drive then through Dowtown Disney. This was before the gates were up and closed. it was a perfect little loop.

    July 2016 Check in!!

    We're coming in from Portland by Amtrak on July 14th and flying out on the 20th. We're splitting our stay between Garden Grove and Annabella with an extra day up north at Universal. We missed the 60th by spending last summer at DisneyWorld. I love the planning part and reading about other's plans.

    Paint The night/ world of color packages

    We're going in July. I hope that the WOC dessert continues. It is expensive but by that time of the night a chair is worth the extra $!

    Cons of doing a split stay?

    Jerseygal...BCV was fine. I was really disappointed that they delayed the refurbishments and went in with very low expectations. We were in studio 559. We were on first floor of Moorea... Studio DVC at Poly. It was beautiful. We had no problems with wristbands

    Cons of doing a split stay?

    We just completed a 3 day at Poly and a 3 day at Beach Club. We had no problems but I didn't book my ADR at 180 and we had a rental car. I loved both locations and will do this again in the future.
