    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    Yep, mat was right as you went to make the left handed almost U turn to get back onto the road from the Honda Center parking lot, immediately prior to the water tables. Maybe just happened to be 15k, maybe was to ensure people didn’t skip the lot as well. One note I haven’t seen mentioned much...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    The start line is further away from the parks this time so it takes us longer to get in. They changed the park mileage basically every year because of various kinds of construction (Galaxy's Edge, Cars Land, etc) Looking at my Strava routes which reach back to 2011 the park mileage was: 2017-2.7...

    Department 56 Disney Mickey's Merry Christmas Village

    Figured I'd show a few pics of the village as it sits right now in case that helps everyone, also a demo of how we do the tiers (dual purpose as storage for the boxes) and the lighting (all LED strips, connected in one long strand, plugged into a single 110v plug with a dimmer). There were some...

    Department 56 Disney Mickey's Merry Christmas Village

    Updated for 2023, they had a more typical two new buildings and accessories this year (at inflated prices of course), also notably retired almost all of the North Pole Village ones now, but also put out a couple new ones in that series.

    Trip Report-ish with lots of travel Logistics Details

    There aren't as many threads in the Paris forum where people have gone into detail about the travel logistics for Disneyland Paris and Paris in general, so I thought I'd go into a bit of detail on what we did to help others. There's a lot here, feel free to "ctrl-f" the things you want to hear...

    Luggage Storage experience/report at DLP/Chessy train station

    Hoping no one repeats our experience. If you’re staying offsite and thus not using Disney Express luggage storage at the train station (who were fully booked yesterday) and also find the regular station luggage storage is fully booked (which it was on a Sunday at 9am) you’ll get directed to...

    VDH July 27th

    If you mean race weekend in Jan, member services just confirmed zero room availability of any room type for Fri/Sat or Sun nights, at VDH. (also still nothing at VGC or Disney Collection)

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

    Apologies if this has been covered, but it seems a lot of the links in the OP from 2010 are broken/out of date, is there another post where links to the basics have been compiled?

    Epcot Moonlight Magic Feb 8

    Hadn’t seen it mentioned, the bonus fireworks show at 11pm IMO is not to be missed specifically for the finale if you’re right by the DJ centrally at the world showcase entrance. It’s like they had a backlog of fireworks they needed to get rid of… also second what other said that in our case 12...

    Where We Belong (A DVC Song)

    Bumping this up again because I just found it buried in the latest DVC e-mail, worth the watch.

    Department 56 Disney Mickey's Merry Christmas Village

    Another update after a few years for the 2020/2021 pieces. It appears they've either slowed or stopped the addition of pieces as I don't see any for 2022. The less expansive Halloween village did add a few items.

    Disney Magic October 10,2022 Halloween Cruise to Canada & Maine

    One item of note, I think at all three ports the ship was ~60 minutes late or more disembarking, so they adjusted the return time at one port and obviously shifted all the Disney excursions to match, but if you're doing things on your own like we were that's something to take into consideration...

    Disney Magic October 10,2022 Halloween Cruise to Canada & Maine

    Bummer, they did update the Canada sailings page yesterday (4 Oct), and while it removes the mask confusion (none required), it does still say pre-testing required even for fully vaccinated guests. Wonh wonh. https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/why-cruise-disney/experience-updates/canada-protocols/

    Disney Magic October 10,2022 Halloween Cruise to Canada & Maine

    Anyone else find it bizarre that : https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/why-cruise-disney/experience-updates/us-checklist/ states "The Disney Magic sailing departing New York on October 10, 2022: please review Requirements for Cruise Passengers Visiting Canada Sailings." And if you click on the...

    Disney Magic October 10,2022 Halloween Cruise to Canada & Maine

    We have booked Palo brunch on most of our cruises on embarkation day. There's a set time they have someone available that day to make reservations, at times in the same room that they do MDR adjustments, other times at Palo proper. Have not attempted port adventures as we're generally doing our...
