    November Dapper Day Hotel Recommendation and Crowd Expectation?

    Thanks for all the ideas. I just can't justify paying double the amount I usually spend on a Harbor motel...so settled on Holiday Inn Buena Park for $100 per night and a $10 Uber.

    November Dapper Day Hotel Recommendation and Crowd Expectation?

    I'm not giving up...just gathering information on my options. Dapper Day is a game changer...Kings is $300 per night. I'm familiar with the area close to DL, but not confident about the quality and security of hotels in other areas - I know Garden Grove is ok...but you go a little further south...

    November Dapper Day Hotel Recommendation and Crowd Expectation?

    Thanks for the ideas. All decent hotels with reasonable proximity to DL are prices $250+ per night for that weekend. I'm trying to decide whether I want to bite the bullet and pay big bucks for a not so great hotel within walking/shuttle distance from DL...or look further out for something more...

    November Dapper Day Hotel Recommendation and Crowd Expectation?

    We are headed to the parks Nov 1-3. Hotel prices are scary high! Discovered it's due to Dapper Day. I guess we will be staying a distance from the park - any suggestions on a reasonably priced hotel in a safe location within about 15-30 minutes of the park? What's the experience been with ride...

    European SIM card

    I don't know about Disneyland property, but I do know you can buy an Orange Holiday Card at the airport (CDG) at most Relay shops or at the kiosk at the baggage claim. I bought it at the kiosk and the employee there quickly set it up for me and made sure it was working before I went on my way...

    Mickey's Halloween Party and Halloween Time Superthread 2018!!

    Hi. I attended the Tuesday evening party...I thought I would give my one quick tip. Toontown is open for early Trick or Treating from 5pm to 7pm. Sounds like a good idea...NOT! Everyone else thinks this is a good idea too and it's crazy, CRAZY crowded. I would suggest avoiding this area and...

    Getting to DLP with luggage.

    The Disney bus is 23 euro one way and the stop is easily accessible from the international terminal at CDG. There are signs everywhere from baggage claim and you can always ask - everyone speaks English. As for traveling on the train, you will arrive at terminal which is located at the main...

    Grand Legacy Opinions Needed

    Just a quick update...My stay was for one night on Saturday, May 5 in a premier room. Just after I wrote the previous post, raw sewage backed up into our sinks...three times. It was disgusting...the smell was horrendous. I called the front desk and they quickly sent the maintenance person. He...

    Grand Legacy Opinions Needed

    I'm here right now! We are in a premier room a the back of the property. Parking is very tight as a lot of the lot is blocked off by construction containers or valet. Valet is free. Beware that your $15 parking fee is one good until 4:00pm on day of checkout. After that, it costs $25+tax if they...

    Keeping my phone charged

    Fuelrods can also be recharged. And there are many other locations where they can be swapped out including airports. www.fuel-rod.com. It's nice to not have to worry about keeping the battery charged.

    Overwhelmed by housing options...

    The Paradise Pier has a more "resort like" pool that you won't find at any of the hotels on Harbor except maybe Howard Johnson or the new Courtyard (across the street). The PP keeps you more inside the Disney bubble, but it'll cost you, notably breakfast. If you stay at the HoJo, there are...

    Tips and advices for an ucommping MAY 2018 DL vist (1st in 11 years)

    There are some significant changes to Grad Night this year. The main Grad Night party is in California Adventure starting at 9pm. The big change is that the ticket to hop to Disneyland during the day is significantly more expensive than the Grad Night ticket that allows entrance to only DCA. So...

    Most of the fastpast rides in a day with Maxpass mini Trip Report

    I'll second your endorsement of MaxPass. Used it on Saturday Nov 4 with similar results! We are Disneyland veterans and Maxpass just made the day really enjoyable. We were able to stop and watch the band and other entertainment instead of running for Fastpass! Totally worth the money, IMO. I...

    Blue Bayou Reservations, Do you have to have them?

    Our party of four was able to get a walk up this past Saturday. We checked around 3pm and the hostess said to come back later and it was likely we could get in. We did just that arriving at around 5pm and were seated within 15 minutes. Our table wasn't the greatest - in the back by the...

    Parking @ DL: Toy Story Lot or Mickey & Friends?

    All the parking at Toy Story is within a reasonable walking distance to the bus stop. Can't say that about M and F...you're looking at a loooong walk if you are unlucky enough to be parked at the far end of the structure. I think I walked at least 15 minutes once just to get to the tram. I like...

    How to get picked for wand choosing ceremony?

    If you don't get picked the first time, go right back in line. It helps if you can get in the very next group so it's more obvious that you're really eager to get picked. That's how my DD was picked.
