I would have never known that path existed if I hadn't waited in a 4 hour line for FOP that doubled back through there :)

Kijimanjaro Safaris first thing in the morning (to avoid lines). Followed by the animal trail (Pangani forest) immediately next to it. Look at times for Festival of the Lion King and try to do it immediately before or immediately after your Tusker House meal (since they are both right there)...

Weighing in and reinforcing some things that have been said already - To me an intense rollercoaster is one with a really big hill (think Millennium Force at Cedar Point) or some crazy inversions (like X2 at Magic Mountain). Nothing at Disney really has either of these things - but we all have...

Disney is aware of their market with all of their rainbow gear (and how and when they feature it for sale), but literally hundreds of straight/cis people purchase those items every day without a thought towards what they might suggest to others. If some terrible homophobe wants to give your...

My aunt proposed to her girlfriend (now wife) at a character meal at Disneyland. Mickey got involved (tipped off ahead of time) and there was congratulations from all of the characters. You can't ever know how the general public will react to anything - horrible people are everywhere - but as...

The train stations you'd use in San Diego are nowhere near Escondido (the Safari Park) or La Jolla - and you'll absolutely want your own car going back and forth (on a map La Jolla and Escondido do not look far apart, but the drive can be a long one in traffic. You do not want to Uber that and...

+1 for rebooking your flight. I've done the drive to Vegas from San Diego multiple times. Every so often traffic can get stupid. It's taken me over 9 hours on a few occasions and you can just get stuck in the middle of nowhere sitting in traffic for seemingly no reason. Southwest, Frontier...

This one is not in Orange County, but they're the best (if you plan on visiting San Diego at all) https://sdwhalewatch.com/ They usually have groupons available as well. I've gone out with them over a dozen times and seen (literally) thousands of whales and dolphin.

Hi! San Diego resident here with a lot of drives up and down the coast under my belt. Here's a few suggestions... SAN FRANCISCO: Are you just going to drive over Golden Gate Bridge or head to the Presidio to get some views? If you're driving over it, add Muir Woods (redwood trees) to your...

Having been to Scotland and seen many amazing castles there, I have to tell you that the Hearst Castle is in a different galaxy. It's not a castle (or palace for that matter) in the European sense - it's a crazy suite of architecture dreamed up by an ultrawealthy maniac looking to burn money in...

Agreed - and the fact that Disney will specifically go the extra mile to make diners happy is all the more reason to take advantage of the premium service you are 100% paying for.

I'm glad I saw this before you left! When I visited Disneyland Paris, it was all about the pretzels when it came to snacks. There were several vendors selling them on property. This will be easy for you. There were also a lot of small carts selling vegan snacks placed around Downtown Disney - we...

Satu'li Canteen is awesome! Totally unexpected, but fantastic for vegans. Likewise, the vegan options (different for lunch and dinner!) at Docking Bay 7 at Galaxy's Edge are similarly weird and delicious. If you're a Satu'li Canteen fan, you need to try the fare at Docking Bay 7! I know it's...

I've mentioned this before, but Allears.net is a pretty good general source for Disney restaurant menus. Here's the link http://allears.net/dining/menu/ The menus don't point out specific vegan dishes, but they're updated regularly. There is a special section for vegetarian/vegan dining, but it...

Interesting! When I was last in Florida I really enjoyed all the baked goods I got from Erin McKenna's (the cookies especially!) - I thought they were better than Sprinkles. ...but I could be spoiled on Sprinkles (I live in SoCal and there's a Sprinkles just a few miles from my work). I really...

Wow! I started this post seven years ago hoping it could help a few people out - I'm really glad it has! I'm going full circle now, headed back to WDW for my first extended trip there since the original post - and when I searched for "vegan" this was the first comprehensive thread to come up...

I rent a house - so no apartment name/complex. Everything is close in San Diego if you're in one of the central communities (you don't have to live right next to the mall to be close to it). Good luck! Private message me if you need some more help.

Clairemont is pretty central. Unless you are looking to live right on the ocean (or need a large apartment) I think you should easily be able to find an apartment for less than 1000 within 20 minutes of work. I live in North Park right off of the 805 and near the 163. It's a great neighborhood...

Are both your kids really excited about animals? Their enthusiasm is going to play a lot into how you get around the San Diego Zoo, how long you stay, and which order you do things in. If you want to see the whole park (a mammoth undertaking to be sure) I recommend something like this... Get...

LA an San Diego are easy day trips. Lots to do in both cities (and lots of threads about them)
