We are coming from Canada tomorrow, and this will be our first DL trip in 10 years, and possibly our last (WDW and other travel plans instead). Our flights were booked and other arrangements made just before they announced the Main Street construction or we would have delayed our trip. I am...

Your weekly updates are so helpful and fun to read! I really hope they are still doing the rope drop this way next week when we visit. It will detract from the walls and make the mornings more enjoyable I think. :)

Thank you for the the pics and updates. We have a trip in 3 weeks, and are kind of bummed about the Main Street refurb. I was so looking forward to that morning walk towards the castle with the view! Oh well, I am sure there will be plenty of other magic to be had.

Thanks for responding, and good to know!

Great guide! We fall into the 2nd category definitely. Love the ease of being able to walk back and forth with no shuttle or uber involved. We've only been to DL once before 10 years ago. We stayed at the Hojo with those amazing entertainment book rates. We had two energetic 7yo in tow, the...

I love your reveal photos! You and your crew are going to have so much fun!

We are booked for Feb 2nd-7th, and staying at the Best Western PPI. It will be our first Disneyland trip in exactly 10 years! And our first kids free Disney Parks visit ever!

Hmmm, I am budgeting about $160 a day for 2 of us for an upcoming trip. This does include a BB Fantasmic package, as well as Carthay Circle and Cafe Orleans lunches. It also takes into account a hotel breakfast. I seem to be coming in a little high compared to others in this thread, but when I...

That looks absolutely charming! And two of my fav actresses- Helena Bonham Carter and Cate Blanchett. Can't wait to see it!

Yup, I looked for ones with lots of reviews on homeaway and vrbo, as well as tripadvisor (a lot of the properties are cross posted). Then I contacted a short list of the well-reviewed villas that met our group's criteria. From there I chose the ones where the owners had the best communication...

The Mummy is much more intense than Big Thunder. It would be closer to Everest intensity-wise. I have a son who likes Big Thunder, and tried Mummy once but hated it, and was quite angry with mom for describing it as a "mild" coaster.

Uproar? I think you are picking the wrong person to quote in context of an "uproar". :) All I said was I am watching the direction Disney is taking with FP+ and offsite guests warily. Somebody call the riot police! ;)

The accommodation charge can be large and I am not arguing for a second that there should not be added value for those staying onsite. But consider an onsite guest staying at a value resort and eating QS (or with free dining, or going offsite to eat), vs an offsite family eating TS and signature...

This is a silly assumption. We stay offsite and eat all our meals on site, and spend a ridiculous amount on souvenirs. The only revenue that Disney is losing from us is the actual accommodation charge. For the amount that we spend on these Disney trips we could be going to Europe. We fly from...

Darnit, I think I want one of these...and considering what a pain they are to get, I kind of wish I didn't... I started reading, but then got intimidated by the 73 page length of this thread... :faint: Would someone mind helping me with a few questions? Are there now two different exterior...

I am really surprised that your Dr. would give you a scrip for Xanax without first recommending counselling. Therapy should be the frontline treatment for anxiety/depression with meds as a support to that therapy as needed. I completely understand that it doesn't take much to discourage someone...

Sounds like a great idea for those with one or two top ten allergies! Anything that reduces the load on the chefs while keeping allergic guests safe is a win in my books.

I am also a very anxious person (GAD), and completely understand your concerns. Here are some things that help me, much of which has already been mentioned by PPs. -find out as much as I can about each ride ahead of time -find out the length of each ride. This is huge for me, because if I end...

Can't wait to go on a kids free trip someday! We are thinking DL or WDW for just the two of us will be a suitable consolation for when we are empty nested. ;)

I agree with the PPs saying that it depends on your usual schedule and your kids' energy levels and needs. Are they morning people or night owls? Are they the type to need a break and a rest after 6 hours at school, or can you take them straight to activities afterwards? How do they generally...
