We will be in the parks 11/12 through 11/16 & staying at Hyatt Regency Orange County. Looking forward to Disney Plus Day, Dapper Day, the live music and food at the Festival of Holidays & all the Christmas overlays, entertainment & treats at Disneyland.

My husband & I actually really enjoy Webslingers. Sure it’s not that different than Buzz & Toy Story Midway Mania but those are a couple of our favorite rides. This is good news in our eyes. It means on half our vacation days (the days we start at DCA) I can actually sleep in & save the early...

We had a great trip! We were in the parks this past Thursday through Sunday. On Thursday we attended Oogie Boogie’s Bash dressed as President Loki & Alligator Loki. We flew down to SNA, took a $30 Uber to the Anaheim Majestic Garden and checked in early. Got changed into our costumes and took...

Just a heads up that they just released reservations for the Magic Key Terrace for a bunch of dates in September. (You can only visit if you’re a Magic Keyholder.) We we’re able to grab a reservation for our trip. Got so many yummy dining reservations booked and then they released the...

Whew, we got all our dates just fine. Now time to plan out our costumes and Disney bounds :)

We fly in the morning of Sept 16th & fly home late on Sept 19th. Booked The Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel through Hotwire. We got our Oogie Boogie Bash tickets for the 16th. Hoping we can buy our Magic Keys on the 25th and then get park reservations for the 17th, 18th & 19th. The trip is to...

What does early entry not costing extra have to do with anything? OP asked “do you get to choose a magic morning or something else perhaps?” So I answered that Magic morning cannot replace Maxpass right now because Magic mornings are not happening right now. Nothing to do with cost, just the...

The fine print says you’re simply out of luck. If you pitch a fit you may be able to get a gift card refund but expect to be on the phone for hours and have to be aggressive/persistent to get the refund. Currently there is no maxpass (or fastpass of any kind) & there are no magic mornings/early...

We just booked our hotel for our June 13th-17th trip and it feels like such a relief to have that final puzzle piece sorted out. We got a good deal ($100 a night) on the Marriott by the convention center. Glad to be staying somewhere close enough to just walk to the parks (less glad about the...

It looks like they might be closed starting on June 11th? They suddenly stop listing hours that day.

My husband and I have reservations for June 14th-16th, just in time for our 10 year anniversary. We are driving down from the Bay Area on the 13th & back on the 17th & not sure where we are staying yet.

On Hotwire right now there’s a few hotels within walking distance that have good ratings for a good deal. The $99 one is probably Candlewood Suites and the $109 is probably the Red Lion but you never 100% what hotel you’re getting til you book (but you do know the area, the hotel’s rating, the...

SNA is the closest & easiest airport to get to Disneyland from so we always fly (when we don’t drive) from SJC to SNA, usually on Southwest. Uber (or Lyft) is going to be the cheapest option & it’s pretty fast. There are plenty of other transportation options but they either cost a fortune or...

I feel like you have to ride it twice: once in the daytime to be able to take photos and appreciate all the little details and then ride it again after dark for a very different & slightly more magical experience

I don’t have much experience with Priceline but we use Hotwire every time we visit Disneyland or Disney World and have had over 50 trips with no issues. Everyone trying to scare you away from saving money sound silly to me. Select what you need (if you need free parking or a pool or to be within...

Maybe they’re waiting til D23 in a couple days to announce something for that area? At least I hope it’s that vs such a large portion of Downtown Disney remaining dormant for no good reason.

Most of it is on the app as well (I had said so in the post you’re quoting but it was long so I can see how it could be easy to miss). In the app you just select shop, then new, then shop all, then on the drop down sort menu select newest items first.

A bunch of the merch from this event/the Haunted Mansion 50th hit the shop Disney website (and app) late last night! Grateful to be able to buy that DressShop dress without the crazy markup the scalpers are trying to get away with online. If you were interested in that dress, the Shag shirt...

It’s still there and it’s still worth doing if you’re a Star Wars fan. Launch Bay = character meet & greets and movie props on display. Galaxy Edge: immersive themed land with interactive rides, experiences & foods. They’re very different as one is a peek behind the scenes of the Star Wars...

We are NOT morning people. We usually roll up between 10am & 2pm. Lines do get better later at night & you can often swoop up abandoned fastpasses pretty easy with the app/maxpass. I like Disney at night more anyways: less heat, no evil sun giving me a migraine & sunburn, everything lit up...
