    *April 2019 - Check in*

    I always log off Dis when I'm no planning a trip. It's to hard to see what I'm missing out on. BUT I'm here now...DH and I booked a trip down to SoCal April 5-9. We had just booked a trip to Vegas for March, so we needed this to be cheap to make it work as well. We found flights into LGB for...

    *o* August Check-In Thread *o*

    Yay! I am a cast member too! :yay: In Oregon though, so it is a little easier to fly down. I hope you have a magical trip! 20 years is too long to be away. Do you have anything special planned?!

    Impact on disneyland Hotel

    Any updates on this? The only thing I’ve been able to find is a video from fresh baked almost 2 weeks ago that showed demo on the DTD buildings hadn’t started yet. I’m wondering if a timeline has been released or if there is any info on the use of the monorail will be affected? We are 3 weeks...

    *o* August Check-In Thread *o*

    I feel like we got pretty lucky with only Matterhorn and tiki room being down during our dates. My son has never ridden splash because it’s been closed every time, and my dad hasn’t ridden Indy since it opened in 95 because it’s always been closed. We were pretty bummed out that map wasn’t...

    Flos V8 thoughts ?

    One of my favorite breakfast spots! Sit outside on the terrace and watch the cars zoom by! We always get the breakfast tamale, the caramel brioche French toast, and split them.

    *o* August Check-In Thread *o*

    I added another ADR in. My sister just got back and had done the PTN CC package...she talked me into it. I’ve never eaten there and the premium seating sounded so great for my favorite parade. I feel like this budget trip has now gotten out of control. Oops. At least I can cancel if I need to.

    *o* August Check-In Thread *o*

    We have our ADRs done. A BB F! package, and the new Mickeys character breakfast at GCH. I am considering the lamplight although when I talked to the CM she said the ADRs are only for downstairs (ariels) and the upper deck are still walk ins. I am interested in the what the view will be like...

    *o* August Check-In Thread *o*

    We have requested adventure tower due to the proximity to the monorail before. We used that to go in and out of the park most of the time. During august it might be better to actually get Frontier tower....I'm so concerned for what all the demo and construction right next to adventure is going...

    *o* August Check-In Thread *o*

    I found a hand pressurized mister for only a couple dollars. It's about the size of a small lotion bottle so it fits in a backpack easily. It would even fit in a fanny pack. It just takes a couple pumps, and its ready to go. It is perfect for standing in line in direct sunlight and staying cool...

    How much planning do you put into your meals and snacks?

    On a 4-5 day trip book about 2-3 sit downs. We try to leave a day or two with no reservations so we can go-go-go. Especially now with maxpass. Before we go, we watch youtube videos (magic journeys is a good one that is strictly food), and read blogs about the current offerings. Then we make a...

    *o* August Check-In Thread *o*

    A couple more of my sisters joined in the trip so I had to rebook with DLH. We went from a premium view room to a 1 bedroom suite to fit everyone. Hopefully we still get some good views as I think we get balconies now? I have no experience with the suites. Anyone have any comments on them?

    Booked our trip today.. August 7-10 at DLH. We are taking my dad for his birthday. He hasn't been in 6 years, so a lot has changed since then! I can't wait to see the return of PTN...that parade has my heart!

    Uber/Lyft from LAX

    can anyone give actual prices they paid for uber/lyft to and/or from LAX? I understand that it can vary, but I'm trying to gauge the variance. I would prefer to take this option vs DRE due to the timing of our landing. We will just miss a departure and will have to wait another whole hour before...
