    BW Park Place Inn vs Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites?

    Oops, sorry, I was gone for a few days and didn't see this. I seem to recall that the beds were okay. I've heard others complain that they are too firm, but I like them fairly firm.

    BW Park Place Inn vs Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites?

    I’ve stayed in both, I think 4-5 times for DI and twice for BWPPI? BWPPI’s marginally better, but they’re both very basic. If you don’t care about the pool and you just want a place to shower and crash, they’re fine. The family suite at DI is a really good value and a bit nicer- you get a window...

    Is Genie+ worth it if you get into the parks late?

    Yes, one thing I noticed a couple of weeks ago, is that when rope dropping, it's really not worth it to use LL in the morning. Everything is walk-on, or close to it, in the first hour; more so if you have early entry. In fact I'd forgotten that you can only get one LL per ride per day, and...

    WOC desert party

    Re: the gluten free plate: I was there again this past week, and did the first show on Wednesday the 7th, with a GF plate. It was similar to last June, except they had added one more dessert. It was kind of like a sugar cookie base with a jam or fruit filling, and a purple candy decorative...

    Here now- RAIN! Will F! happen tonight?

    Thanks, everybody, we did a little shopping and decided to head out. It’s all good, we had fun day anyway! 🥰

    Here now- RAIN! Will F! happen tonight?

    Hah, we are at Trader Sam’s, same. I think we’ve about decided to ditch early. The weather sites are all saying it probably won’t let up, and we’re actually fine with that. Like you said, lines were low all day! We really did most of what we wanted. It was a fun day!

    Here now- RAIN! Will F! happen tonight?

    So DD27 and I have been enjoying our mom/daughter time since she joined me at DLH last night. We had a great morning, even though it’s been so hot. We rope dropped with early entry and lines have been pretty low, and LLs all had immediate returns. But it’s gotten progressively cloudier and...

    The Disneyland Hotel Superthread

    I so appreciate hearing about your recent experience and this update. I'm meeting my daughter in the parks next week, and I'd booked Tropicana for Wed 9/7-Friday 9/9-- many of my usual places had no availability, probably due to D23, and the DLR hotels had all sold out, too, with the Keyholder...

    Incoming Heat Wave and Tips to Deal With It

    This is me in Cannes in July, during the record European heat wave. I’m wearing a cooling towel, one of the above mentioned dual hanging neck fans, and using a solar umbrella. I looked ridiculous, but I didn’t get heat exhaustion! Hubs did, in Avignon- spent an evening on our river cruise ship...

    What is going on with the weather??

    We seem to bring the hot weather wherever we vacation. We did our first river cruise in the south of France, the last two weeks in July, during the record heat wave there. We'd already rescheduled it twice due to Covid, so we were like, "Welp, do or die!" What saved me, a short plump, always...

    Current Blue Bayou Menu Reviews?

    When I have my act together enough to get reservations 60 days out (didn't decide on my September trip until after that) I will try to do the first lunch seating at BB. They start seating from the waterside and then each row back toward the entrance. So if you're in that first batch, you will...

    Mission Breakout: can it cause motion sickness?

    Drops don't bother me, but DH and DD got very sick. DD felt obligated to go when she was 17 on her band trip, because all her friends were going as a group. I tried to talk her out of it via the "chicken exit" right up until we entered the elevator, but she bravely insisted she'd be fine. She...

    Park Vue vs. BWPPI

    We've stayed there, hmmm 4 times? Usually simply because it's often quite a bit cheaper than the others. It's about as basic as you get, like a Motel 6. We've found the rooms to be clean. Back of the property is pretty quiet, but it's just that much farther to walk. The water pressure in the...

    Drinks at Oga’s

    Wow, I thought for sure it was gelatin, but looking into it, it appears you’re right. They are candied hibiscus blossoms. I didn’t know those were even a thing!

    WOC desert party

    When I was there in June, it was fruit, cheese, and a gluten free brownie type cake with a white chocolate medallion on top. I found myself wishing I had some gf crackers for the cheese.

    Drinks at Oga’s

    Here’s a pic from June. The “flower” is an exotic- looking gummi kind of thing. I can’t really recall the taste exactly, except it was sweet. I liked it, but DH found it too sweet for his taste.

    WOC desert party

    You mean 8:30 was the time you got checked in? What time did you line up for check in? Did you get your table assignment and wristband then? And then what time and where did you go to be seated? I’m asking because I did the second show in early June, and ended up more confused than anything. I...

    Scanning Wrong Ticket At Park Entry

    It should just deny you, if it’s the wrong ticket for that day- because it won’t have reservations. Also, take. a look at the two tickets in your Disneyland app. Usually they have different colors at the top to differentiate between them; you’d just have to remember or make a note somewhere...
