    Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend 2024

    5k and 10k sold out. That's surprising - I remember the challenge going quickest for the DL half. Must've been because of coast to coast I guess? 19 minutes...

    Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend 2024

    Woohoo, got my husband in for the challenge and the whole family in for the 5k. Bit of a redemption for myself as I missed getting him in for the challenge for the half in January. What an absolutely crazy hour. Now back to non-mouse life...

    Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween 2023 Super Thread

    Has anyone met the Sanderson sisters yet? I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info online - either wait in line first thing, or wait until later at night - though I've read on here that the line gets cut pretty early. It's our first OBB and while I would personally love this photo, kids are more...

    Oga Cantina Reservations and more

    Did Olga's as a walk-up this week as a party of four and it was pretty simple. I signed up for it in the app based on the estimated wait while in the Smuggler's Run queue and got called back shortly after we got off the ride. Walk-up seating is standing only and we were at a small table with two...

    Losing Magicbands?

    We haven't been to WDW since pre-MB so this was our first experience with MagicBands period, let alone MB+. After much exasperation (and three lost magic bands, all of which we were able to get back from lost and found, thank goodness) we finally resorted to using bandaids to keep the things...

    Dinner in the Stars – menu that started May 5, 2023- looking for recent reviews

    We did this last year and had a great time and are doing it again on the 24th, so if no one else updates sooner, I'll come back with a review!

    Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween 2023 Super Thread

    I'm hoping for some Avengers in Halloween costumes :rolleyes1 In all honesty, we've never done OBB before but are hoping to get tickets this year! We're all big fans of Nightmare Before Christmas so it's pretty unforgivable we haven't done it yet.

    Regular River Belle Fantasmic Package?

    We upgraded to the Fantasmic package at RBT for the first show last week. We arrived right when the line opened (7:45ish?) and got a great spot. Our server told us we should arrive around 8:30 (!!!) which would've meant squeezing in the back. However, we were right up against the BB section and...

    We leave in 3 days! Any last minute tips or park information?

    Those cooling towels were a lifesaver last week! They sell Mickey ones for $16ish at most stores. We also brought our water backpacks (which we usually use for hiking) so it was much easier to stay hydrated. We rope dropped - even on the most crowded days, 8-10am was lovely - stayed through...

    Which rides at RD?

    If you've got multiple days there, I'd definitely recommend RDing the Fantasyland rides at DL at least once. Those are slow loaders with boring queues, and my family has easily knocked out almost all of them (besides Peter Pan and Storybook Canal) in an hour. At DL, I'd also recommend Guardians...

    ***Official DLR June 2022 Check-in Thread***

    We're staying at VGC June 19-25th. I've got some dining reservations done (including Carthay for my birthday :dogdance:) but still looking around for some others. I've been slowly accumulating more Disney clothes as the kids have pretty much grown out o everything from last summer!

    Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

    Thank you for posting this! We've never done this before so just booked for a night of our trip! No luck on Oga's or Plaza Inn dining package yet, but I know those are scarce!

    Adding one to Disney Dining reservation?

    I was told most places will allow up to one extra person (for us it was a party of 4 and the server mishearing me thinking I'd said we were a party of 5 when I was saying we had a reservation at 5).

    Buzz and Canal Boats open

    I didn't notice any changes. The emailed photos seem to be broken. The photo gets sent multiple times and the score was wrong.

    Counter service doing mobile order only (sometimes)

    If I had a dollar for every person I helped with mobile order this week, well, at Disney prices I could probably buy a churro :p We'd put our snack and lunch orders in while waiting around at rope drop, and we had a lot of people around us surprised that we could do that, or that a lot of places...

    Is it possible to get ride photos after the fact?

    If you have the approximate time of when you rode it, and can include a picture of what you were wearing or a good description, there's a good chance they can find it for you. Just went through this yesterday when we got stuck in a log jam at Splash and missed our photo. Guest Support for Disney...

    Are the parks still opening unofficially prior to 9 am?

    We were there the past week and Disneyland was regularly doing rope drop around 8:30. Yesterday it was more like 8:05! We got in 5 rides before the park was even "officially" open.

    Oga's Cantina

    I'll be there on Tuesday, so if no one else asks before then, I will!

    WEATHER Warning HOT!!! 6/14-6/19

    Do you remember which model you bought? I'm looking into these for our trip at the end of the month but not sure what size to buy.

    Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

    I got an Oga's reservation for my birthday this morning! So excited! I didn't want it enough to wake up at 3am PST, but when I woke up this morning it was the first thing I did!
