Question of the week:
What is your favourite entertainment in the parks? Or, if you haven't been to DLR before, what entertainment are you most looking forward to?
This is our first time in DLR.....really looking forward to WOC. We went to WDW in 2012 and I absolutely loved Fantasmic so I am also looking forward to that.
We are skipping the parades as we have no kids with us this time but will be watching the fireworks and hoping they are as beautiful as the WDW ones.

I would urge you not to skip Disneyland's afternoon parade, Soundsational. It is phenomenally popular--one of the best parades ever to appear at a Disney park, and much better than Celebrate A Dream Come True, which you may have experienced at WDW in 2012.

I agree. Parades aren't just for kids
I have been to WDW 5 times total and I can remember loving them as a kid and less and less the older I got. Our kids thought they were great and I loved watching their faces but I can just remember the last time thinking about how I rather be doing other things. Maybe you are right and the parade itself was just not that great. I feel now that maybe I should watch one because I don't want to miss out on anything cool.
Well, we all have different things we like. There are plenty of people who don't bother with shows because they'd prefer to be doing rides. And there are also people who mainly do shows and parades because they're not that big on rides. It's highly possible that parades aren't a big thing for you. Having said that, I felt that way about DLP's parades, but I absolutely LOVED HKDL's one So sometimes it does depend on the parade. I actually haven't seen DL's one yet, but looking forward to it!
So changed our Blue Bayou rez from the 13th to the 14th. Partly because I'm weird and like having reservations Sun Tues and Thurs to make it every other day and partly cause Thursday is an early entry for DL and so we'd probably be spending most of the day there.
I'm debating on spending time at the spa at GCH on Wed which is half way thru the trip but not sure if it would be a worthwhile splurge. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
Hello all!
Does anyone know when the early entry hours for hotel guests will be posted for the week of August 25th? or can I be assured that they will be held on the same days as previous weeks? Thanks!
Second a question for you Disneyphiles: upgrade to Disneyland annual passes (we could maybe go an additional three times in the next year since both my boys will be on year round school) OR a week in Walt Disney World before a cruise on the Fantasy in January?
I hate the thought of going all the way to Florida without going to WDW, but I hate the thought of my kids being out of school in the off season and not going to DL too (especially when our tickets we've already purchased for next month would cover more than half the cost of annual passes).
We are trying to figure a way to do it all, but it might not all be in the budget. My kids have never been to WDW and are DL veterans if that makes a difference. Decisions, decisions. . .
I can't remember who offered to let us use a parking spot at a neighboring Hotel way back when we first started this thread, but we are not going to need one. My cousin is riding with us so we will only have one car per room. I appreciate the offers though. Love the Dis!

They kind of trickle into the calendar, but they are usually the same: Tues/Thurs/Sat DL and Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri for DCA. But there is the marathon that weekend, so they may change the days around.
We just got back Sunday from our July trip and I was able to get us back in at the DLH 8/30-9/2 so I am now an official August peep!!!!
The main purpose of the August trip is to play Legends of Frontier Land the last three days it is available and see Scot Bruce at Tomorrow Land Terrace Saturday and Sunday nights!
Can't wait to get back the DLR!!!
