Haven't been to the parks since 2018 -- covid and one thing or another has kept us away and finally we are going next week. Made dining reservations a while back, but in relooking at menus it seems like entree choices are quite limited. For example, Carnation Cafe has removed the Chicken Fried...

I've not stayed at either hotel, so maybe I shouldn't even comment, but I would encourage you to check tripadvisor for recent (2023) reviews for both. I have used this resource for years (there are other review websites also) and have never been steered wrong as I realize that even a hotel such...

Haven't been to the parks since 2018, obviously pre-reservation system. With Disney releasing their entertainment schedule about 6 weeks out I am wondering how others plan? With purchasing airfare, hotel, tickets, etc., it's a bit difficult to specify what day you want to enjoy what park (if...

We've stayed at Stovall's a couple different times, lastly in 2018 (so maybe someone will be able to give you more recent info.), but we never waited more than 5/10 minutes in the morning. I believe the monorail opens a half hour before the regular park opening for early entry - for resort...

Of course everything we plan these days is tentative, but we're looking at October 2021 and hopeful that by then (it's over a year away) some semblance of normalcy will have returned to our lives.

I believe the thought behind closing/cancelling things is to help limit the spread from one infected person (who might be unaware they are carrying) to another. I stated in a previous post I live in WA, where the US outbreak began so we have been dealing with this situation locally longer than...

Agreed, and while I believe there are some media sources that are more accurate and reliable than others, as a whole they have the difficult job of deciphering the information they are provided before they report on it. Just using last night's POTUS address I think its easy to see how difficult...

Just another plug for CCI, only stayed there once because the availability just hasn't worked out. Very clean, well-kept property with beautiful plants and flowers, nice pool area (but small), and the included breakfast and shuttle are great! And we have never had an issue or felt unsafe or...

We have stayed multiple times each at HoJo's, Park Sheraton and Best Western Stovalls, I'll share what I like about each. HoJo's - we love HoJo's! Retro style property with interior corridors (rooms have been remodeled) that is located across the street, but it's about a 10 minute leisurely...

Sure there are advantages, others have mentioned them, you just have to determine if those advantages are worth several hundreds of dollars per night to you or not. I've not been to WDW, but from what I've heard the advantages to staying onsite at DL are less and the bubble is certainly not as...

I find people's reactions and responses a little startling...not only on Disboards, but in the general public and of course the news media. It seems like there is a fair amount of reckless disregard for common sense and science, other people, and in some cases its being replaced by arrogance and...

I understand being concerned about travel plans and losing thousands of hard-earned dollars (and/or the inconvenience of possibly facing a two week quarantine), but I do hope people's primary concern is the possibility of contracting the virus while traveling (they might think, "i'm healthy...

I'm not a healthcare worker, but I have two friends who are nurses, one in Labor and Delivery and one in the ER in WA (and very near what seems to be the epicenter of Covid-19 in WA). One is immuno-suppressed (from medication), the other works in the ER and HAS treated individuals who are...

Agree with above posters, go with the CCI. It’s a great little hotel. For one person a standard room would be just fine. Have a great trip!

Agree with above, but if you want more than CVS can provide (definately they have bottled water and some groceries/snacks-but it doesn't compare to a full fledged grocery store) you could always pre-order Von's (Safeway) and have a grocery delivery. We fly in from Seattle, we never have a car...

Yes, I can't recall if there is traditional indoor seating, but I believe the tables are primarily covered with sun sail type shades or actual umbrellas.

I haven't stayed at the Cambria, but I have stayed at HoJo's multiple times and we love it. It is a closer walk than Cambria, I'd say maybe 10 minutes at a leisurely pace, and since DL is directly across the street you can see and hear the park even if when you're not there, I love that, some...

Run down?!? I've never stayed at Desert Inn, so can't speak to that property, but the OP in my opinion clarified exactly what they were looking for and mentioned a few hotels. They did not seem to be searching for a high end/on-site Disney property or similar, but requested people's thoughts...

Us too...we eat there multiple times a Disneyland trip and the location, atmosphere is nice too. We've not had a bad meal which has included the tacos and enchiladas. (That being said we're from an area that has amazing AUTHENTIC Mexican and I would not classify Rancho in this way, it's just...

Stayed at BWPPI years ago and it was a nice stay, it's been remodeled since then, but it certainly is about the closest you can get and I think meets your other criteria (I didn't check prices, but it is usually in the $200/night range I believe). I just don't care for their pool area, it's...
