    Uber/Lyft ?

    As suggested, download the apps and get your information in them so can book a ride when ready. Basically i'll take a look at the app early and see what the estimated travel time is. Average time for a driver to show up is 5-10 minutes, but of course can be more if heavy traffic. Our ride...

    Rise of the Resistance rope drop (and other silly questions).

    Not sure if something going on this week that would make higher crowds, we went last month on a Friday morning and hit MK shortly after regular opening (weren't there at rope drop).. went in and hit BTMRR first....after getting off, ROTR said it was a 15 minute wait on app, so we went over and...

    How many days for a WDW family that stays a week?

    Depends on how much you want to do... Me and teen son had 4 day park hoppers with Genie+, and really only NEEDED 2 days, but we didn't do parades or evening shows and skipped the majority of younger kid rides that have done at WDW. But we did over achieve a bit the first day, knocking out BTM...

    Universal VIP tour - any positives going later?

    Would check when stores in City Walk open... know we walked through on our VIP morning from shuttle drop off and everything looked pretty much closed. If want to do the band games in Nintendo Land, would plan on a couple hours more after the tour...wait was about 30 minutes per game when we...

    Questions from a WDW veteran

    Yeah, only MB+ work at DL/CA, I got them because used to MB at Disney world. But they are only useful for entering the parks and Lightening Lane entries. They light up in some queues/areas, but nothing super spectacular. Probably 3% of people used them that I saw. Other people were...

    Plan my days /Starting park November

    As others have said...getting Universal in will be problematic. We did VIP tour at Universal to start our trip and had hotel 2 nights. It was a 50 minute Lyft ride down to Anaheim in middle of day (between morning and evening rush hours, but still some stop and go traffic). Nintendo...

    All About Using A Magicband+ At Disneyland California

    Got them for our trip to DL since used to them in DW. They are convenient for scanning in to parks and Lightning Lane . They do light up occasionally on a few rides, but nothing really spectacular. Only saw a few other people using them. Really annoying can't use them for ride...

    Savi's Workshop Recent Experiences

    My son just tucked it next to him on the window seat, and then when had aisle he had it half under the seat and in the gap between us... he was pretty good about storing it, I didn't even notice it. Would worry about it getting broke in overhead bin if other luggage shifted. But yeah...

    Food quality in DL and CA. WTH??

    It was good.... there is probably better out there, but i'm east coast and not a lot of Hawaiian places around. But it was definitely more satisfying than Bengal BBQ. I got the Garlic Chicken one time and Chicken Katsudon the next (my old favorite from Okinawa) . Son had Chicken and...

    Savi's Workshop Recent Experiences

    Yeah, definitely theme park overpriced. But figuring in all the overpriced stuff, it's a drop in the bucket. A few years ago I probably would have balked at it, but after a couple health scares last year i'm more in the 'say yes' zone. Have bought him a couple of the more upscale...

    Food quality in DL and CA. WTH??

    We were so disappointed with Bengal BBQ. Portions were so small for the price $20 for a 2 skewer/rice 'platter', each skewer had 4 one inch cubes of meat (got chicken and beef),a small scoop of rice, and an even smaller portion of slaw. The taste wasn't horrible, but basically steamed meat...

    Savi's Workshop Recent Experiences

    My 14yo son (loves to collect light sabers) did it on Sunday, he is happy with the lightsaber he built. You have 4 different 'drawers' of hilt pieces to select from, and each drawer has 2 options for each piece. Don't believe you can mix between drawers, but can buy pieces in store...

    What hotels are walking distance to Disneyland, but also have a shuttle?

    Just got back from DL and stayed at Candy Cane Inn. Shuttle (trolley) leaves hotel at top of the hour (there are some extra early morning departures) and leaves the bus stop back to hotel at :15 past the hour (again extra departures at/after park closing). Shuttle trip is about 5 minutes...

    Best deal for VIP or unlimited express Universal Hollywood?

    Express is a variable price depending on crowd expectations....it's cheaper when it's less crowded, but otherwise there isn't any kind of discount that i'm aware of...it's the price they decide.

    UHS VIP Mario world ?

    Reading the reviews of VIP tour, you can get back in to the land, and ride Mario Kart with your VIP after your tour is over. That's what we plan on doing....hopefully still works the same in August...

    Good info ! We are going in August and doing the VIP. Nice to know what to expect.

    Are My Expectations Realistic?

    You HAVE to be flexible with kids that young.... took my son first time when he was 5. He was more interested in the hotel pool than going to the parks. We had a good time, but tiredness is a major factor that young and be careful of a 'scary' attraction that may put them off wanting to go on...

    USH tour

    Ok, thanks for the info ! Looking at USH since will be out west in August. Was curious about Nintendo Land since it's new and figured was going to be difficult to do. If can get a couple rides on Mario Kart and just look around later, then that's good. Have done USO so not as stressed...

    USH tour

    Did you go on Mario Kart 2 times during the tour, or was the Express valid after the tour ? What point and how long is visit to Nintendo Land during the tour ? Overall do you feel the VIP was worth it ?
