    Flex Pass Superthread: Disneyland Resort Introduces New Annual Passport that Combines Value and Flexibility

    I'm paid in full (not a SoCal resident, so no payment plan option). Thanks for the info though, I guess I'll wait until it's official and see if my pass pops back up. I am dreading being on hold for hours. I really appreciate your advice. Thanks!

    Flex Pass Superthread: Disneyland Resort Introduces New Annual Passport that Combines Value and Flexibility

    So my pass expired last week, and now I don't see it on the app (my expiration date was not yet extended last time I checked it). When I try to link it back, it says it's already linked to my account. Should I be worried I won't be able to make a reservation when the new system comes out...

    Brief park report from today - Sunday, March 15.

    @WonkaKid, feel free to spend some time on Sundays going to DTD and giving us updates with pictures! As a non-local disneyphile I'd love those!

    Brief park report from today - Sunday, March 15.

    I disagree. This made me smile and gave me a sense of regularity in these uncertain times. I look forward to his reports every Sunday and somehow, having one today made my day a little bit better. Everyone copes differently. No need to read it if you're not interested or offended.

    My guess is that you won't get that rate on different dates. The rate you paid was to attend the Dapper Days convention. No Dapper Days, no discount. If you go for the fall Dapper Day you'll get a similar rate again. That's my guess, Disney will have to decide, obviously. Good luck, I know those...

    Thanks everyone for the tips on checking with hotels to cancel. Hilton actually has a link that you can cancel online and not wait on the phone. They are refunding even non refundable reservations until the end of April. I'll post back if for whatever reason it didn't work.

    Exactly. I was driving out tomorrow. Will Disney compensate me for a hotel I can't cancel due to passing the deadline? Nope! I wish they would have given more notice. I'm kinda pissed. I understand why they are doing it, but I am still upset. ☹️

    Charging an EV at the Hilton Anaheim?

    Thanks everyone for the tips! Valet parking sounds the easiest and so convenient since they will charge for you! For the walk, it sounds like the morning walk will be fine. If we're too tired in the evening, I guess we can Uber or take the shuttle to Toy Story lot. I'm excited! We got a great...

    Charging an EV at the Hilton Anaheim?

    Hi all, I'm staying at the Hilton next weekend for the first time ever. (side note, I'm nervous about the distance, I'm a stickler for walking distance and don't like the thought of taking a shuttle - so feel free to give tips about that as well!) The website mentions there's EV charging at...

    Ticket decisions

    I'll stray from the majority here and say maxpass over hoppers. My daughter and I have annual passes with maxpass, so have the ability to hop and maxpass at will. When we bring other people, we always get them to buy one park per day tickets and add maxpass. Here's why: 1. We can easily spend a...

    Report, a rope-drop tip, relatively low crowds, pics & map offer

    Perhaps because recently I posted pics of the charging stations in the parking structure? Ah yes! This might be it. I myself drive electric and although usually stay in a hotel on Harbor and walk to the park, I found that post very helpful in the event I want to stay a bit further, park and...

    Report, a rope-drop tip, relatively low crowds, pics & map offer

    The ride home was the scariest attraction by far today. I barely made it ;-). For some reason, I thought you drove an electric car... 🤔 Any tips on being picked as the family that does the countdown to open the park? Certain time to arrive, certain gate to stand at? We've never once been...

    Is there ever a January discount for Aulani?

    I've tried searching online for historical discount trends and have found ones for spring and fall but not January. Thinking of going January 5 to 9. Thanks!

    Flex Pass Superthread: Disneyland Resort Introduces New Annual Passport that Combines Value and Flexibility

    I am so excited for this annual pass, it is actually the perfect scenario for me. I live in Phoenix and come to DL with my DD about 4 times a year, just for the weekend. 2-day, 1 park per day tickets (I don't splurge for hoppers but would use them if I had them). I always know more than 30 days...

    Anyone else have bad service at the GCH recently? Where to email a complaint?

    It was a bunch of little things really, nothing that huge on its own, but a general attitude of "you're just not that important to me", you know? Gah! Just typed a super long reply and lost it. Have to go but all in all small things that add up to disappointment when you pay over $550 a night...

    Anyone else have bad service at the GCH recently? Where to email a complaint?

    Hi everyone just returned from getting married at the GCH! And although all the wedding stuff was great, we had disappointing service from the hotel itself. Stayed 5 nights and it wasn't at all what I am accustomed to from a Disney product. Unfortunately, it was my husband's first time staying...

    Did fireworks run last night? (Friday - Oct 5)

    They did not go last night but did tonight Last night was technical difficulties, not wind.

    Fastpass system down

    Wow I knew it was busy, but didn't realize it was that bad! I'm also frustrated about Max Pass being down. However, the one I booked before the crash worked at Indiana Jones a couple hours ago. At one point I saw 3 Multiple Experience fast passes loaded to my app, I'm guessing because of the...
