    Cast Members are the Magic!

    We had an awesome stay at POR from Dec 18-23, 2021. This post is to appreciate the Cast Members who provide the real magic! At the MK bus stop, an approaching bus driver noticed that I was taking a photo of the Frozen bus that was parked, so they stopped to allow me to get a good photo. It...

    Everything PhotoPass & Memory Maker

    Thanks for the info! Too bad this part of magic hasn't returned, so we'll be skipping memory maker and will only visit a few photographers and might purchase 1 or 2 photos that turn out well.

    Everything PhotoPass & Memory Maker

    Does the memory maker website still have borders and stickers? They weren't available in our Dec 2019 photos, and the only recent info in this thread was from the spring where you could only add them through an Apple app (don't have) and not the website. If the usual borders aren't available...

    Photopass change?

    So I just went to start adding borders & stickers to photopass pictures from our recent trip and discovered that they're no longer an option unless you have an iOS device, which we don't. So a feature we had on many trips from 2008 to 2016 is no longer available - thanks Disney. While we...

    MAGIC KINGDOM CHRISTMAS DAY OPENING TIME

    Yes the hours have been updated, I checked them for our upcoming trip. On Christmas, MK opens to everyone at 6am. For some days around Christmas the 9am-10pm hours were extended to 8am-12am.

    What restaurants won’t you go to again?

    Tony's Town Square - rude service. Never again.

    ROL in December?

    Same here - ROL doesn't appear on their main park hours page, but it does appear at the specific link in post #2 above.

    When do bookings open For 2019 Disneyland Hotels

    On Wed Aug 1st I booked our DL trip for next year, but the two cheapest room categories at the DL hotel were already full, so we reserved the Paradise pier hotel instead. I should have realized that the smaller selection of DLR compared to the World means that I should have reserved the...

    Grand Canyon railway hotel and train- don't do it

    We stayed in the Maswik Lodge in the south village, and we had fun waving to the Grand Canyon train! I definitely recommend staying IN the park for a night or two, because you'll see so much more than the few hours that a train ride offers (you'll spend as much time on the train as you do...

    Pacific Coast Highway Help

    I think the PCH/Highway 1 is now fully open! We're planning a PCH/Disneyland trip for next year and there are new articles saying that the highway has been repaired and is now open. It might be alternating one-lane directions, but that's better than fully closed. Roadtrippers uses Mapquest...

    When do bookings open For 2019 Disneyland Hotels

    Today I tried to book DL for June 2019. I asked the chat agent, who said that 2019 pricing might be out in a week or so from now.

    For those folks driving!

    Our "Goodbye Wishes" trip is coming soon. What's the best way from the Contemporary to hit 75N? Google maps takes us north on World Drive, right past the MK, which I assume would be closed to visitors? Is it better to head south on World Drive, to Buena Vista Dr, World Way, then 429 Western...

    WISHES IS GONE (leaving in May)

    I wish they wouldn't get rid of Wishes, so we'll probably book a quick trip to say bye. We're still irritated they got rid of the MK train welcome show!

    August 2017 vs November 2017 - please help me decide.

    Another vote for November! We've done 2 August trips and 2 Nov trips, and Nov wins because of much better weather and the holiday decorations are up. We can't go in Nov now because we choose not to miss school for it.

    Josh restarting crowd calendars - Jan 2017 available

    Glad to hear it. We missed his calendars for our trip this past week, but his advice of previous years stuck with me when selecting our park days.

    Holiday Crowds

    Same here, we checked out yesterday but would never stay closer to New Year's. Our last park day was 12/26, and if we had "10" crowd levels I bet it will be 12 later this week.

    Photopass at Resorts

    On Mon 12/26 there was also a Photopass photographer at the Grand Flo gingerbread house (in addition to the nearby Christmas tree), so that was a nice surprise.

    Resort Parking Passes

    We checked in at POR on 12/21 and didn't receive a parking pass. While unloading on our car I noticed another car did have a parking pass so I asked the front desk if they forgot to give us one and they said no it's just the magic bands now. When driving to parks they scanned the magic band at...

    How are POR busses before rope drop?

    We just got back from a stay at POR Dec 22-27. Signs said the first bus leaves 45 minutes before park opening, so on Thurs 12/22 we arrived at the East Depot stop around 6:15am for the 7a park opening, and the MK bus arrived around 6:21 so I assume it started at the main south depot stop and...

    FP+ for last-minute trip?

    I'll answer my own question - we visited the parks on Dec 22-26. Since we only booked 5 days in advance, there weren't any advance FP+ available for the mine train, Frozen, and Toy Story, so we rushed to them at rope drop. There were enough advance FP+ available for remaining attractions that...
