This is our second trip to DL, and our first at the holidays. We don't plan to try to fight for a spot to see the Candlelight Processional, but we would love to see the actual processional down Main Street. Does anyone know what time that generally occurs so we can plan accordingly?

We are staying at the VGF tomorrow. We had hoped to drive to the Polynesian, get breakfast at Captain Cook's, then drive our car to the VGF before taking the monorail to MK. Will we be allowed to park at the Poly in the AM, knowing we won't have reservations since the plan is to eat at CC? We...

Thank you both!

I was reading menus on AllEars, and on the Gasparilla Island Grill menu page, it reads, "While Gasparilla Island Grill is closed for refurbishments, Beaches Pool Bar will be serving Breakfast from 7 to 11 a.m., as well as Lunch/Dinner from 11 am to 9 p.m., through December 2016." (I know it's...

Thank you!

Hello all, After the tragedy that occurred last summer at the Grand Floridian, can anyone tell me if guests are permitted to watch the fireworks/EWP from the beaches? I know they were blocked off for a while, but I haven't found any clear information online about their accessibility now. Thanks.

Thanks everyone! We will be there this Friday, so no layers needed, but we are looking forward to lots of great food and even better memories!

We have reservations at several restaurants during our upcoming Disneyland trip. As WDW vets, we know the signature dining restaurants warrant business casual attire, unless in the parks (like Brown Derby). Can someone tell me which ones in this list we should dress up for, other than the two...

Thank you for this thorough and informative information guide for WDW vets! I just wanted to confirm if this is still true: "3. FP Initialization for Both Parks – The ability to actually get a FP depends on the entrance media being initialized that day when you pass through the park...

She sounded surprised, yes - the type of surprise that has the undertones of "are you crazy?!" It sounds like you've been there before and know how far in advance to book. I obviously learned in an embarrassing way that I was calling extremely early. Having never been to DL before, I knew I can...

That's a fair perspective and makes sense. I haven't had these encounters with Rainforest Cafe or T-Rex, for example, who also aren't owned by Disney. Obviously when this happened, I got rattled by the attitude I was received, felt embarrassed, and then got nervous that there was more of this to...

Yup - knew that. Disneyland is doing business with them, though, so their actions reflect upon Disneyland, for good or for bad.

Thanks for your kind response. :) If this is the worst we have to deal with, we'll be totally fine. I mostly felt stupid and wanted to hear if I should prepare for this or worse to happen more than once on the trip. Glad to hear you had such a wonderful trip! :)

Our first-ever trip to Disneyland is coming up in less than 60 days. We've been to WDW nearly 2 dozen times, and the restaurant booking process is pretty different at DL. I have been booking our reservations daily since we're 60 days out because I have been told on many occasions how very busy...

Anyone?

Can someone confirm for me that the WoC Dining Package is not available for booking if the park hours haven't been released yet? For example, I tried to book for July 16th online at the 60 day mark, but no options were available. I assumed upon seeing this that it's tied to park hours being...

Thank you, everyone, for your replies and thoughts on this subject! I think we are going to try to do EMH at least the first few days. It might be hard to get up every day at 7 AM, in which case we'll shoot for visiting the opposite park. I especially like your idea, HydroGuy, to consider having...

Hi all! We are going to DL for the first time in July, and our dining reservation starts tomorrow. Do you have to make dining reservations day by day, or can you make them for the whole trip at once? I know DLR doesn't have the 180 days + 10 rule, but I wasn't sure if I'm going to need to...

Thanks for the replies, all. We are staying at VGCR, so we will be eligible for EMHs. We'll probably try to take advantage at least a few days; not sure we can do the 7 AM arrival time every day of our trip. Good to know if we don't, however, that the opposite park on that day might be a good...

I know this thread is older (found it via the search engine), but we are going in mid-July and are currently thinking we will be in DCA on a Saturday and DL on a Sunday. That's opposite the EMH times (DL has EMH on Saturday and DCA has it on Sunday). I'm still trying to decide if we'll do our...
