    Kids want to go to California....Need help!!!

    You could go on a whale watching excursion in Newport Beach (Balboa Island). We went this year, the first week of June, and had an amazing time. We used East Meets West Excursions. The boat seats 6 so we had it completely to ourselves which made the trip really personal. We saw tons of dolphins...

    Travelling back to LAX for 6:15 am flight

    We were in a similar situation a couple of weeks ago and ended up checking out a day early, spending the day at Universal and then staying at a hotel near the airport. Our flight was at 7:00 am and we needed to return a rental car. It worked out great for us because we were close to the car...

    The Lurkyloos Do Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in 1 Billion Photos!

    Your report = my feelings as well. I want to love it, but really only liked it. We went twice last week (6/10 and 6/13) both visits were from 8 am - noon. We did not build a droid or a light saber. We ate at Ronto's and were able to get into the cantina on our second visit. We were...

    D23 EXPO 2019 Superthread - dates announced!

    We were talking about this last night. How fortunate we feel to have the opportunity to visit the land with a reservation that has controls around it. I am shocked to hear myself say these things because we originally were hoping to completely avoid SW:GE when we planned our trip. Now we have...

    Nap Times and closing for capacity

    This is very reassuring to me. I was so worried that we wouldn't be able to leave during the day and have the option to come back later at night. We have 5 day hoppers the second week of June and since we are coming from MN I fully expect that we will go to the parks very early each day since we...

    Starbucks Mobile Ordering

    Thanks for posting this. I have gone into the app and marked the Starbucks Downtown Disney as a favorite so I don't get confused at 6 am in my sleep deprived state.

    D23 EXPO 2019 Superthread - dates announced!

    We have an 8 am reservation and are not staying onsite. I am happy that our trip is a couple of weeks after the opening of SWGE so we can learn some firsthand knowledge from all of you going before us. We are coming from MN so I am very confident that we won't have any issues getting up early...

    D23 EXPO 2019 Superthread - dates announced!

    I agree. I can see my three kids (DS16-video game master, DD11- not so much a video game master and DS7.5 thinks he's a video game master) fighting about who gets to do what. I am excited, but worried about the level of crazy this will bring to my family of 5 and the poor 6th person that gets...

    D23 EXPO 2019 Superthread - dates announced!

    I just saw a follow up to this on Twitter that indicates that Disneyland will not allow overnight lineups. It is in the same thread posted above. The person that commented stated that he called Disney (1-888-834-9125) and they told him they will not allow overnight lineups and confirmed that...

    Got a SWGE reservation for Monday 6/10 at 8:00 am to noon. Can't wait to check it out. I am excited to hear reviews and tips once the land opens to help plan our visit. Curious about the check in process etc...

    FuelRod

    Before our last trip in 2017 I purchased a PowerADD battery charger, 12000 mAh with the lightning plug from Amazon. It worked great for us. Was cheaper than the fuel rods sold in the parks and holds multiple charges so we didn't have to worry about tracking down a place to exchange them. I still...
