So interesting! We rode it in February, party of 10 ages 6 through 78, and we all loved that ride most! I don't hate WDW but definitely prefer Disneyland! We grew up making trips to WDW but my family later moved to Orange County and learned Disneyland is much more our style. So much less...

What would you recommend for table service dinner at CA? 2 adults, 3 kids, pretty open on the style of food as long as it’s tasty!

Ummmm yeah after our ride in February we had to go spend $200 on new clothes for our kids who were DRIPPING. Socks to hair. Yuck.

In July? California over Florida all day long. (I despise extreme heat/humidity and love California summers!)

We were stuck on it for a half hour last Friday. Finally got walked out. Was not a good start to our day! They did give us two free fast passes apiece for our troubles at least.

That line was nuts!! However, we were pleasantly surprised once inside - it didn’t seem crazy to us. The security line had us questioning our life choices.

We are frequently at crystal cove beach in March and my kids swim! But we are from Colorado, and 60s feel relatively warm to us that time of year. So i think it partly depends on what kind of temps you’re coming from.

There's a rental stand at Crystal Cove beach where the to-go Beachcomber stand is. (Which btw is a good option for food if the Beachcomber wait is super long and you don't have time to wait. But we usually just put our name in, get the pager, and go have fun until we're called.) :) The stand is...

Crystal Cove state beach in Newport! There’s a large parking lot on the east side of pacific coast highway (hwy 1) and a shuttle to take you down to the beach or you can take a paved trail. Gorgeous and less trafficked than Laguna or Huntington. There’s a gem of a restaurant right on the sand...

EEK! So excited! :)

Definitely helpful, thank you! We can't wait! (Well husband and I can't wait. Kids are in the dark for a loooooong while. It's going to be a long wait for Christmas/the big reveal haha.)

Good to know re: check out day! We will likely elect to leave slightly later in the day (nothing I hate more than a 4am wake up call and dash to the airport with exhausted kids to end a vacation on a stressful note) and enjoy the amenities as long as possible! Thanks.

Thank you! Believe me, I've gone back and forth for a month with anxiety over traveling at such a crazy time. In the end, it's truly the best time for our family to travel so just decided to go with it, see what we can see and don't stress over what we can't, plan for some down time around the...

We booked tonight! Went club level, this may be the only trip we make to WDW for many years (my family owns a home 45 min from DL so we tend to go that direction!) so figured we may as well splurge for some extras! Really appreciate you all weighing in. Such a nice group here.

Awesome info! Looking forward to reading your reports. After sleep, past my bedtime. ;) Thank you for sharing!

Ah, I see. Good to know ahead of time, thanks.

Thanks so much for your thoughts! And yes, when we started considering club I decided to add in an extra day so we can be less rushed and have at least a full day (and possibly another half day) to just enjoy the perks we would be paying for. :) (And we aren't late night people so I think we'd...

Very helpful input, thank you! TOTALLY hear you on the breakfast thing - we typically travel to places with full kitchens and just stock cereal, milk, bread for toast, etc. bc I haaaaate dragging kids out to get breakfast before we can start our day. So it sounds like the club would be a great...

That's what's pushing me more toward CL. We'll probably have to leave our home in Colorado very early on NYE to make a connection, and it'll be a long travel day, so I'd love to arrive late afternoon/early evening, check in, and just enjoy the club lounge and an evening in. No way will we try to...

Hey all! So after a lot of wavering between Contemporary and Polynesian, and finally watching YouTube videos of each last night, husband decided he's 100% for Poly. POLY IT IS. I've got these three offers saved for our (non negotiable) travel dates. Can you weigh in on which you'd choose...
