    October Fantasmic Blue Bayou reservations?

    Well good to know they have not been released yet - I thought perhaps they had all been snapped up already.

    Is Christmas week unmanageable...

    Well I am a Dland vet and went back in September for first time since pandemic. It was an OBB weekend and so it was much busier than I expected, and some things were more challenging, but many things were as wonderful and magical as they always were. We stayed at GCH. That helped a ton with...

    OC Register lists Genie Plus and Lightning Lane rides

    Interesting. Well we will see how this plays out. For my family of four, we always go single rider on RSR, and I assume that will still be a no-upcharge option. We did WebSlingers when we visited last month, and it was fine but no way am I paying premium to ride it nor wait in a standby line...

    This weekend - should I reschedule (because of all the Magic Key holders flooding the parks)?

    Hard to tell. The first few trip reports from popular Disney Youtube vloggers showed low crowds on 25 and 26th. But MiceChat tweet yesterday reports that MagicKey reservation cap was reached for 8/28. If you have MagicKey, only DCA is now available for 8/28. Though if you want to buy a single...

    So I have to make reservations without knowing park hours - do I have that right?

    Yes that is the unfortunate situation. It happened to me with Ooogie Boogie Bash. I made reservations back in spring and subsequently OBB was scheduled for 2 of the 4 nights of our trip. We decided to attend one night so that helps, but if I had known, I would have scheduled so we did not have...

    2021 Halloween Time Superthread *September 3-October 31* *Oogie Boogie Bash Returns on Select Nights*

    Going to OBB on Sept 12 w my daughters. I am looking forward to reading the early reviews from attendees the first couple of days. Without a WOC show, other activities will have longer lines of course. My main goal is to visit Villians Grove when it is dark enough to enjoy all the lights so...

    Would construction noise sway you from DLH to PP?

    I am going in Sept and the construction noise was one reason we picked GCH. I would not switch to PPH though. The reports out of there since its reopening have been meh at best. There is no food option onsite in PPH and much of what is in the lobby is closed. Also if you like DLH because of...

    Dear MaxPass - I miss you

    We too used to build our family Dland trips around heavy optimization of EMH then FPass/MPass. We got very used to short wait times and would look askance at queues longer than 20 mins. We'd skip it rather than wait that long. It will certainly be different when we visit next month. I have...

    A little stressed about flights

    Yes I can testify as well. I've taken two trips with SW in July (KONA & LAS) and have one booked for Aug (PDX) and another for Sept (SNA). ALL of them have had changes to the original outbound and inbound flights since my original booking. In some cases it has been a minor inconvenience and a...

    2021 Halloween Time Superthread *September 3-October 31* *Oogie Boogie Bash Returns on Select Nights*

    I just watched today's vlog by David at Freshbaked and he is reporting that WS will be open for riders during Oogie Boogie Bash. He had no info on how it would work in terms of a standby line or virtual queue. I hope this is true - will be an extra treat for sure.

    Rise of the Resistance strategy

    Whoops wait - just answered my own question by reading the instructions thread - we were all not selected because we do not have valid reservations for today - OK we will be preselected when we have a valid tix and res for that day - thanks all

    Rise of the Resistance strategy

    Hopping into this thread to clarify as I am visiting in Sept and have not yet done a VQ. This morning at 7am I tried to practice. Got to the page where it listed the three tix linked in my account but they weren't all checked and the join boarding group button at the bottom was greyed out. I...

    Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

    I've been looking all around those Sept 10-14 days and just yesterday they started showing availability for River Belle, Cafe Orleans and Ogas only. No other restaurants have posted openings on those days

    2021 Oogie Boogie Bash Costumes

    I've never attended an Oogie Boogie Bash but did go to one of the previous Halloween events in Disneyland. Seeing all the guests' costumes was one of the best parts of the evening. Some people created and wore amazingly clever and elaborate costumes. There were others who wore nothing more...

    Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

    I am in the same boat. Secured Oogie Boogie this morning and subsequently have been in and out of the app all day trying to find a dining reservation. Right now I've got the 33 Restaurants with No Availability Blues. Where is my harmonica...

    Buying Oogie Boogie Tickets - Timing

    Clicked the purchase tickets button at 8:50am and was able to purchase tickets at 9:45am for the date of my choice. I am so excited to experience Villains Grove - being waiting since 2019 for it!

    ***Official SEPTEMBER 2021 Check in Thread

    At GCH, doing a mother/daughter trip Sept 9-13 to celebrate my DD's 19th birthday and as last hoorah before she goes away to college for her freshman year. It's going to be bittersweet.

    Arrival Dinner Ideas?

    If you don't mind walking over to the Disneyland Hotel (which will surely be open by Oct) you might also consider Tangaroa Terrace which is outdoors on a patio above the pool. They typically have live music (a Hawaiian duo) and a good range of food and drinks in a fun atmosphere. It isn't as...

    Disneyland and DCA really need to rethink their mobile ordering / cashless system. It's now counter effective

    I gotta think the Disneyland leadership team is working hard to solve this major pain point if for no other reason than lost revenue. People are being punished for wanting to buy Disneyland food. This will suppress $ spent per guest, and so they will be highly motivated to resolve.
