    Best close hotel

    For close we like Best Western Park Place Inn and Suites...it's the closest. Our other favorite is Homewood Suites Convention Center. It's about a block from the Toy Story parking lot and you can ride the shuttle to the parks for free.

    Recent reviews of Fantastmic Riverbelle Terrace, upgraded dining package option?

    We also called on the 60 day mark and got a third row table. I don’t believe when you call has any impact on seat assignments. I did not think it was worth it. We had to stand to really see and the view was obstructed and the food blah. I prefer BB for a better view. However, we went with family...

    Confused Re: River Belle Fantasmic Upgrade Pkg

    We did the premium package once. Had a pretty crappy view and I wouldn’t do it again unless there was a reason the ground seating wouldn’t work for someone in your party. I much prefer the upfront and center option with Blue Bayou.

    Fantasmic dining package at RBT

    We did the premium package once and I don’t feel it was worth it. We had a table in what I would call the third row and the view was definitely obstructed. We were told the seating is not first come/first served and you can’t request a table. It’s just the luck of how they need to fit everyone...

    Grad nights - are they really that bad?

    There was one on our last visit this past May. Other than the lines of busses we passed in the Toy Story Lot, I didn’t notice.

    Lamplight Lounge

    Not Lamplight specific, but I’ve often found if I search by time instead of by meal I get more options.

    More DL Food Opinions Wanted: Lobster Nachos...Are They Great, Or Are They Just Too Weird?

    We really like them...I’ve only had them since Lamplight opened and would totally order them again.

    Hilton convention center

    We’ve stayed there a couple times. We do a combo of the Toy Story shuttles, Uber or walking. Depends on the time of day and how tired we are. Rooms are large and beds comfy. It’s a huge hotel though. I generally prefer Homewood Suites. It’s a bit closer to Toy Story and smaller. Or, staying at...

    Can the DAS pass be used on every ride in the parks?

    Be aware that even with the DAS there will be some rides where you are still in close quarters and the lines can be overwhelming. We go with my nephew on occasion who has some similar issues to what you describe. Splash Mountain is very hard for him. Guardians, Star Tours and Soarin can also...

    Carthay Circle Menu

    We ate there with a vegan friend. They offered her the veggie tower or an off menu vegetable pasta dish. She picked the pasta and said it was one of the best meals she’s ever had.

    Transportation help from Disneyland to LAX

    Yes you need to book Lansky ahead of time. We’ve used them and Uber without any issues.

    Can you Uber to the parks?

    We Uber to the parks frequently in the mornings. I put Disneyland as the destination and they drop me off on Harbor (although the address shows as 1313 Disneyland Blvd). It’s about $6 from our hotel which is also a mile away.

    Most underrated attraction at DL or DCA?

    Another vote for Mater’s Makes me feel like a kid every time.

    Rope Droppers?

    On a MM/EMH day at DL or DCA, I still get there an hour early. I think it’s more important for DL than DCA though. I haven’t done EMH at DCA as a hotel guest. However, once when I arrived at DCA on an EMH day an hour before regular opening the CMs were passing out EMH tickets to non-hotel...

    One Day Visit Questions

    I think it depends on the rides you want to do...I’d make a list and see how they split between parks and then decide about hoppers. Max Pass for sure though.

    Rope Droppers?

    Thanks. I go a couple times a year and have always done the 1 hour before. The FB comment just threw me for a loop. We come from the Harbor side and I know things were a little more nuts when the stroller check first went live. I was hoping that wasn’t the new norm. We normally head towards...

    Rope Droppers?

    Big rope drop fans. We generally arrive an hour before opening. We’ll be there this Sun thru Wed. On a FB group someone suggested arriving 90-120 minutes before opening has rope drop gotten that crazy or are we still good with an hour before opening?

    Has anyone stayed at the Hilton Anaheim?

    We’ve stayed there a few times (also Fiamond and stay with points). It’s ok...rooms are big and beds are comfy. But, it’s huge and the walk from the lobby to your room can be convoluted. We prefer the Homewood Suites...closer to Toy Dtoru, smaller and brighter. We Uber in the mornings for rope...

    A couple Qs!

    But Max Pass when you enter the parks. The upgrade for the hopper will be the same amount if you add it day 1 or day 3...so add it day 1.
