    Is Hungry Bear Fantasmic! Dining package worth it?

    We just did the Hungry Bear package 2 weeks ago and it was definitely worth it! My kids all ordered food off of the regular menu which was probably worth less than the food on the special menu, but they really enjoyed what they got so I figured it was a win over having them throw away more...

    Yet Another First-timer Just Back from Disneyland!

    We felt the same way after reading a lot of negative or neutral posts about CM's but we had so many great interactions with people. I didn't think it was inferior to WDW in any way! Enjoy your trip!

    Yet Another First-timer Just Back from Disneyland!

    I will definitely be back! Heck, I might not even leave...this forum will help keep the magic alive between visits! We gave our cast compliments via Twitter while we were there, which is what we've done in WDW. I've heard that was the quickest way for the CM's to get recognized. Is it a good...

    Yet Another First-timer Just Back from Disneyland!

    We thought about asking for them to head over to our table but it was right around 11:30 when the characters are done that we realized that they were going to run out of time to get to us. I didn't want to keep anyone past their shift so we just let it go. My kids were fine with it...I think I...

    Yet Another First-timer Just Back from Disneyland!

    Greetings! We just returned from our first trip to Disneyland a few days ago. We have visited WDW several times over the years and were eager to see the park that started it all. We were there from August 22-28 with 5 day Park Hoppers, staying at Paradise Pier Hotel. Hotel: We always stay on...

    Reminder about next Sunday (August 26)

    In a similar boat here as well as DL first-timers wondering about how crazy the CHOC walk will make things and if DCA would be a better choice to start the day on Sunday? Do the crowds from this event usually thin by evening?

    Fantasmic question

    How bad was the Hungry Bear seating, deedubb? We go next week and I wasn't able to get BB or RBT, so I booked the HB on the go package. I do have a reservation finder set in case someone cancels BB, but we might be stuck with HB.

    Which day would be best for the beach?

    Hi! I've been loving reading the recent reports from WDW vets about their awesome first time trips to DL! We go at the end of next week for the first time. We will be in the parks from Thursday, 8/22 - Monday, 8/27 with a 5 day PH. We fully intend to have a few short days, and would like to...

    Fantasmic Fastpass

    Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate this feedback. I wasn't able to get a BB dining package because this is a somewhat last minute trip and it appears to be sold out while we are there. I had looked at the HB package and thought it seemed very fair (and there is availability), but the menu...

    Recent Use of Disneyland Express, Promo Code?

    Do those of you who use the Disneyland Express find it best to book directly through them (with or without a promo code) or is there a good website that offers a discounted rate (as there is for park tickets and meal vouchers)? I've noticed a few online but wasn't sure which ones are legit.

    Fantasmic Fastpass

    We are WDW vets heading to DL for the first time later this month. We have decided to try for a Fastpass for Fantasmic rather than going with one of the dining packages. I have heard that they go fairly quickly but is this something we need to get first thing at rope drop? How does the viewing...

    Mondays at the park are bad. Bad!

    Thanks so much for this tip! I had no idea about the walk and that is the weekend I was commenting about in the previous post! I think we have decided to grab a 5 day park hopper so we may be able to play with our plans a little more. Trouble is, we've got a 10:00 reservation at the Plaza Inn...

    Hojo - Five people in a room

    I actually called them recently about this same thing. Travelocity knew we had 5 people in our party but kept coming up with what looked like a four-person room at HoJo. The staff person told me when I called that they usually just bring in a roll-away bed and that there was enough room, but we...

    Mondays at the park are bad. Bad!

    We are going in late August and had planned to be in the parks Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday, with Saturday being a non-park day. At the recommendation of others on another thread, I'm thinking of making our ticket a 5 day PH instead of 4, and spending part of Saturday at the park and just...

    Suggestions for Must-do's on a Non-Park Day?

    Thanks for the suggestions! We thought we would skip Saturday because it was in the middle of the trip. We have park days on Thursday and Friday, and then again on Sunday and Monday (that pattern of 2 days on/1 day off has worked for as at WDW, but we would consider mixing it up if Saturday is...

    Suggestions for Must-do's on a Non-Park Day?

    We are Disney World vets heading to Disneyland for our first time next month. We have planned four park days (with hoppers) so that we can be fairly leisurely on a day or two if needed, and to make sure we can see the nighttime shows/parade without stressing about overlap. We have one day in...

    Buying DL tickets

    Thanks for the recommendation of LMT for purchasing tickets. Do you have to be a member to check out the prices? I would like to see how they compare to Undercover Tourist before spending the $50 membership fee. Thanks!

    What service do you use to send small pantry/grocery items to your hotel?

    Does grocery delivery operate similarly to how it works in Florida? Are purchases left with bell services and cold items kept cold until you can claim them? We have our first trip to California coming up next month. Thanks!

    Marathon Weekend 2019

    Sorry if this has already been answered but I have a question regarding charity information for the 2019 events. Last year, the runDisney page listed many charity options that you could link to to find out fundraising requirements and additional details. This year, they've only listed the...
