    Question re Disabled Area for WOC

    I feel like we've typically gotten there about 45 minutes early. We like to be able to get my husband in the front of the section, right up against the fence/railing since he is in an ECV and is short when he's seated. The CMs have always been VERY nice with letting my daughter leave the area...

    Cheap hotel for just one night?

    The motels on Harbor right at the crosswalk are all very close and clean. Depending on when you are going and how far in advance you book, they can be quite reasonably priced. We've stayed at the Park Vue Inn, Desert Inn and Suites, Tropicana, the BWPPI and the Fairfield Inn. We've also stayed...

    Wondrous Journeys Fireworks Disappointing | 100th Was Awsome

    We really liked the new fireworks! That Hercules/Belle/Moana/Hunchback montage hit me in all the feels--but I'm a teen of the 1990s who really likes those movies individually and I thought the mashup was pretty genius. I can totally see how some people might not like the mix of characters...

    Has anyone seen the new World Of Color yet?

    We saw it Monday. There was also a short Lunar New Year pre-show that was cute. I still like the OG World of Color best of all, but the new one was very good. My husband and daughter liked it was well!

    How do you do the virtual cue for Mickey and Minnies Railway

    You do not need to be in the park to join the virtual queue, as long as you have a ticket and park reservation for Disneyland for that day. We did it from the hotel, since the parks didn't open until 8. Just make sure that you have the app open, have clicked on "Virtual queues" and have...

    Do I really need Genie+ with the DAS?

    If you are going during a very buy time, you may find it to be to your advantage to have both Genie+ and the DAS. Our experience is that during slower times, it's really not necessary to spend the extra money on Genie+ and that DAS is adequate on its own. We were just there...

    STAR WARS: GALACTIC STARCRUISER Official Information & Questions Thread

    After being disconnected twice on Tuesday, I called around 3 p.m. Pacific Time yesterday and only waited on hold for about 6 minutes before I was able to book. Total call took less than half an hour! We are booked on the April 12 departure! Super excited!

    STAR WARS: GALACTIC STARCRUISER Official Information & Questions Thread

    Hoping to get out of the "silent queue" before I have to get ready for work! Getting up at 4 a.m. is no joke for us West Coasters!

    Crutches, scooter or wheelchair?

    Another vote for ECV. I had to push my DD in a wheelchair in WDW once (no one is going to rent a scooter to a 10-year old, lol). I was EXHAUSTED by the end of every day. My husband uses an ECV on all of our Disney trips--the ones you can rent off-site are MUCH easier to manage than the park...

    Choosing a hotel?

    If you don't mind clean but VERY basic, the Desert Inn and Suites has some pretty good family suite options. We stayed in the C2 family suite, which is basically two connected rooms--a total of four queen beds, two full bathrooms, a table and chairs,, and one of the rooms had a little separate...

    I arrive at Park Vue Inn August 1st.....

    We were there July 8-10.. My husband and daughter are notorious slugabeds. I wanted to be out of the room and headed to security no later than 7 a.m. for an 8 a.m. opening It was more like 7:20-7:30 each day. Honestly, it was fine. There was basically no line at the security check at the Harbor...

    No Ressie’s. No Problem. What’s our must do counter service meals in both parks?

    Corn Dog Castle in DCA or the Little Red Wagon in DL for corn dogs Plaza Inn--fried chicken dinner is great and big enough to share, and we really enjoyed the apple salad we got there last week Bengal BBQ--the bacon-wrapped asparagus skewer is great, and we really like the sweet beef one, as...

    Best transportation option from SNA to Disneyland

    When we went to Touch of Disney in April, our flight arrived around 9 a.m. on Monday morning . I want to say the Uber and Lyft quotes were both like $65-70. Seriously insane surge pricing. it was better on our return trip--about $45 from the hotel to the airport..

    Touring Plans vs. Ride Max?

    I have been a RideMax plan for a long time. The first time we used it (about 10 years ago), it was seriously like magic. We were just walking on rides and by the time we got off, a huge line had built behind us. It saved us so much time in line. I don't use it as much now because I have a...

    Please Sit Tight

    Yep--I got a brunch reservation for 3 people on July 9. I made my reservation less than 5 minutes ago, and they offered me multiple different times. Good luck!!

    A Touch of Disney 2021 Experience - Superthread - Read First Post for Updates - Updated with Full Menus

    We went on Monday, flying down from Seattle into SNA. Like the previous poster, the Uber ride from SNA to the Fairfield on Harbor was ridiculously expensive. I rejected probably 10 offers all around the same $55 offer--but never got anything cheaper than that. At least on our way back to the...

    The Dress Shop on Cherry Tree Lane

    I did not. I was there on Friday, when it was FREEZING, and went into a shop in Hollywood Studios to stay warm while my daughter went to the bathroom. Too fitted for my liking, but the print is amazing. The art and paint one is pretty, too. I can imagine MANY people are going to buy that to...
