    What happens to regular customers in Disneyland during 'Star Wars Night'?

    What is people's experience with crowds that day, i.e., is it best to avoid the park if you don't have a ticket? I posted another thread about this but I am still torn on whether I should just change my day to be a non-Star Wars day.

    Best 2 days out of May 1, 2 or May 3?

    I know they say crowd calendars are no longer valid but they’re all saying May 2nd (Star Wars Nite) will be a ghost town. Is there anything to this - am I better off including the 2nd in our plans?

    Best 2 days out of May 1, 2 or May 3?

    We were at DLR over the holidays when unfortunately my brother passed away. We had used 2 days of our 4 day hopper and guest services was kind enough to provide us with a 2 day park hopper we could use at another time. We're able to go back for 2 days while we're in California for other travel...

    Best Western Park Place vs Best Western Ananheim?

    I scoured the boards for info on this before making a call, so I thought I’d report back after trying the BWAI after usually staying at the BWPPI. We loved it! Slightly further walk didn’t make a difference (very minimal). The storage space in the room was great. Breakfast was also really good -...

    Does anyone know when these tickets usually go on sale? It's one of the Star Wars Nites (May 2) we're considering.

    Where have all the dining options gone?

    Me too - so much good stuff!

    Where have all the dining options gone?

    We do mostly counter service as I think there are more and better choices to make everyone happy. There also are so many good snack foods at the park that if we added table service I'm not sure we'd get everything in.

    Recommended scavenger hunts for adults/teens?

    We're going over Christmas and I wanted to find something that we could focus on that doesn't involve standing in line, given that it will be super busy. We are going with our 19 year old daughters - is there a scavenger hunt or similar activity anyone would recommend for that age group? TIA...

    180 days and price increase

    Also glad I bought my tickets last week - these ticket prices are getting to be simply outrageous.

    Pros / Cons -- Between Christmas and New Year?

    Is NYE the only day you'd worry about closures between Xmas & New Year's?

    Pros / Cons -- Between Christmas and New Year?

    We've had to adjust our trip to the 23-27 and I plan on going in with a different mindset. We're focusing on enjoying the food, the ambience, the decorations, and with Genie+ can (hopefully!) get on everything once. I think you can have a good time.

    Are there any accurate crowd calendars now?

    I would have seen lower 1-day ticket prices as a cue that it would be less busy. 🤷‍♀️ Is the theory that the lower the single day ticket price, the busier the park, a lower price means more people will come, absent any other considerations? November ticket prices are lower than October, but I...

    Disney world pro seeking Disneyland hotel advice

    We usually stay at the Best Western Park Place right across the street from the entrance. It is safe, clean and has a free breakfast which saves us $ and precious morning time in the parks. Walk is the shortest you can get (by the time you've walked to the shuttle area, you're almost there) and...

    Undercover Tourist

    Rereading the whole thread now I'm a bit confused, but sounds like that's WDW only? I would love to see the end of reservations. And while we're at it, let's bring back max pass, not reinforcing fastpass end times... the good old days... :laughing:

    The tickets UT is currently selling seem to expire January 12, 2025, so yes, you can, You can't make reservations yet, but as long as you use the tickets before January 12, 2025, you can purchase them.

    What should we do in CA/OR Next Summer ?

    On your drive up the coast through Oregon, I would highly suggest stopping here for pie. they have a few special berry pies that are only available in the summer. We haven't been to Oregon for several years but all of us talk longingly about returning to the "Pie Chalet"...

    Winter trip official...or close to it

    On the BW's - I would keep trying just in case as cancellations do come up. Sometimes it is a matter of one or two days not being available (search individual days to figure that out). In that case I have made the reservation for the others and kept checking, and when they did, asked them to...

    Best Western Park Place vs Best Western Ananheim?

    We always stay at BWPPI but I also just booked at BW Anaheim Inn this time as it was a bit cheaper, even given the resort fee. I will report back!
