    Ooh, me next! Troubleshoot my trip!

    I have not been to Rogers gardens but I am going to throw in a different garden idea. Please look at the website for the Huntington Library. Their gardens are AMAZING. In fact it's a must do for us every time we go to LA. Seriously. It is one of my favorite things to do in LA. The Hearst...

    Restaurant menus

    I will say plan on spending at least $20 per person for a meal if you are staying in the hotels. It's a little less expensive to dine in the parks. We bought the dinning ticket but in retrospect we didn't need it for the parks. The price was about the same as the ticket.

    What is the best hotel in the world any budget?

    There are way too many hotels for me to pick from. I usually stay at budget hotels when I travel. There are a few exceptions to that rule. I am in love with the Venetian and the Palazzo in Las Vegas. This is my favorite hotel in California. https://www.terranea.com/ The coolest hotel I've...

    Best way to get to NY NY from LV airport?

    Taxi or Uber. I don't do a shuttle because I hate waiting on others. One bad thing about renting a car now in Vegas is most casinos charge you to park there! Unless you have a certain level of Players card all of the MGM properties charge you to park in their garages.

    Venetian or Palazzo

    Either one will be fine for them. They are both side by side. The location is perfect. The Palazzo rooms have a slightly more modern decor. The great thing is both of the hotels are suite hotels. The rooms are massive with plenty of space for the family. Another bonus is they are connected...

    Things to do in LA?

    Add the Huntington to the list of things to visit. It's a library, garden and museum. The garden is one of the best I have ever visited!

    If parks close tomorrow, how to get to resort restaurants?

    I would use some of your dining credits to stock up for the room. 1. Make sure you have enough water. Yes, there is a tap in your room but in serious situations it might not be potable. 2. Go buy some food. PB sandwiches are great. If your food court has them go get some. You might...

    "Official" 2016 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Trick or Treat Fun

    My BFF and I went to the party last week for our first time! It was amazing. The Hocus Pocus show was great. We actually watched it twice. The fireworks are by far the best I've seen at Disney. It was a lot of fun.

    Forecast - thunderstorms next 10 days

    It really does stink when it rains on vacation! We lost 1/2 a day of vacation this summer (not Disney) due to flight delays. That half day was our only day of no rain where we were spending 3 nights. It poured day one. The entire day. We were soaked. We were tired but since it was a one...

    Best Rainy Day Park

    I would definitely take something to cover the stroller. I've seen entire strollers trashed during rain storms. :(

    Boy with knee injury

    Also be sure to ask your MD what his limitations are going to be. If he shouldn't ride roller coasters or be jostled around then follow those rules.

    "Official" 2016 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Trick or Treat Fun

    Do you have to be in costume to enter at 4p? I'm wearing a black t-shirt with a spiderweb Minnie Mouse head on it. No costume for me. This is my first time!

    Will Be Avoiding Future EMM Days @ MK After This Week's Trip!

    I'm sorry you had a such a nightmare morning!! We had a similar experience in France. Disneyland Paris took us over an hour to just get through security then another 30 minutes to get through ticketing. Throw in an hour in line to get lunch it was a very aggravating experience.

    Overplanning, much? (Packing help)

    I am an overpacker. Amazingly I can pack in a 24" duffle bag with wheels for 19 day in Europe but a weekend in Vegas requires a 26" standard suitcase! Disney is one of those places, I don't do laundry unless it's a 911 emergency. (Please note I only go for 4 days) My suggestion is to pack 2...

    Three weeks from trip... Not fully potty trained :/

    I'll confess, I haven't read the other posts. Just go for the pull ups. There is no need to stress out on a big family vacation. Treat them like underwear. Go and buy some of those cute Princess or Disney ones that the things disappear when they have an accident. Provide a candy/small...

    At what age do you stop taking kids out of school?

    In our district we have 5 days that can be excused for illness, funerals, college visitation, appointments etc. After that point you need a "licensed professional" note excusing the absence or you start having detention, in school suspension, etc. A family vacation is not excused at any point...
