    Best Fireworks Viewing w/ minimal crowds

    Sgray: If illuminations is at 9:30, would an 8:45pm reservation be early enough to get a good view or should I keep trying for an earlier time? We are going December 3. Thank you.

    What to say to child if they ask if Mickey is wearing a costume and is someone inside?

    It depends on the character. For the pooh characters and the like I say they are stuffed animals, so of course they have zippers. They can only come alive at Disney. Face characters have never been a question with my kids (6 and 9). The characters look different then on TV because when...

    I just did this this morning for Nov 25-Dec 4. The computer website was glitchy, but the APP worked great! I started at exactly 6am EST and got all the ressies we wanted.

    Best Way to Get from GCH to SNA Thursday a.m.?

    I'm not sure about that. I tipped 20% for a taxi from Park Vue Inn to LGB and the cab driver argued with me that the tip was too much.

    Thunderstorms in August

    This is what I'm trying to avoid. My phobia started when I was stuck in a storm for 3 hours in my car years ago. Lighting was striking within a couple feet of the car the whole time. I finally made it home and thought I had time to get in the house. Lightning struck so close I could feel it as I...

    Thunderstorms in August

    Thank you all! I think I will try and get my families (I own an in home daycare with contracted time off in August) to approve time off in November or early December and scratch an August trip. I didn't even think about lightning being prevalent. It's a true phobia and being without another...

    Losing weight for the mouse in 2015

    I'd like to join this too! We are doing a coast to coast trip in August. We are starting with a week at DL and then a week at WDW. At my current weight I don't think I could do it (not to mention the chaffing would be horrendous!) My goal is to lose 50lbs and/or be a size 12 by August 8th. I'll...

    Thunderstorms in August

    I know this is probably a crazy question, but how severe are the storms that I read occur daily in August? Are they usually short lived? Is it cloud to ground lightning in the parks? I can only take time off in August to go to WDW with my DS9 and DS6. However, I have a SEVERE phobia of cloud to...

    Which hotel would you choose?

    I will be traveling to WDW with my DS9 and DS6 in mid-late August this year for 8 nights. We have been to WDW once in early December in 2009. We stayed at all star Movies. We loved the theming but the wait for the bus at the end if the night was INSANE (up to 90 minutes one night). I'm trying to...

    Help!! Not sure where to start!

    Thank you all! As to my boys and I getting sick if each other, it doesn't happen lol. Our last DL trip without DH was 12 days and we had no issues. The bus situation for us had to do with waiting an hour with excited kids in the morning or tired kids at night to be able to get on the bus. It was...

    Are EMH on saturdays still worth it?

    We are staying at the DLH with our first morning being Nov 22. I noticed there is both EMH and MM that day starting at 8am. Currently we are scheduled to start our day at Minnie's breakfast at 8:10. Should we change that to later or are EMH on Saturdays just not worth it? We haven't had the...

    Basic 2-Day Plan

    The parks are so close and DCA closes earlier then DL most days, so I would still do a park hopper. You could alway do 1 park per day and if you decide to hop just upgrade your tix. It'll depend on the hours the park is open while your there and what days as to how big crowds are. As far as...

    The Disneyland Hotel Superthread

    We are staying at the DLH for the first time next weekend. This is Santa's big gift to our boys, delivered by our elf. My question is, has anyone checked in after midnight? Have you ever had your room given away? Is the customer service still great that late? Thank you!

    Monorail

    If you want to give him a special monorail ride, ask to sit in the front. You may have to wait for a short while, but for a monorail lover, it's worth it!

    Early Admission (MM/EMH/APEE) Super Thread

    Quick question: We are staying on property nov 22-23. I currently have Minnie's breakfast scheduled at 8:10 Saturday during the EE and MM. I've heard that Saturday EE isn't worth it because it's so crowded, is that still the case or should I move our breakfast closer to 9am? Thank you!
