Back to reality today after being at DLR 12/31-1/5. Our trip was definitely a success, even with the 6yo still coughing a bit. Managed to ride MF:SR our very first morning and visit Oga's that afternoon; the rest of the trip was reserved for tried and true favorites - GotG 4x, Incredicoaster 3x...

We are ok to travel tomorrow, my little guy is totally on the mend! - this time tmw night, we’ll be settled in at HoJo; and this time in two nights we’ll have told the kids that the next day we’re relocating to GCV! Here’s to starting the year off right!!

Oooh, deja vu. Our 12/31-1/5 trip was scheduled as something of a do-over for a trip last spring that my 6yo had to skip because he was sick... and guess who was up coughing last night? :( I have a phone call w his dr in an hour, fingers crossed that he’s back in the saddle in time to travel...

Thanks so much for the prompt response! We’re moving over to GCV after two nights at Hojo - my kids don’t know about the split stay, really looking forward to surprising them!!!

We are one week away from our first stay at GCV - very excited! That said, we've never done the DVC/rented points thing, and I'm hoping someone can advise me on the check-in process. Is it like a regular hotel check-in? Is there a special desk? Will I need the name of the owner from whom I'm...

While I love this idea, I worry it might not be doable with a 6-year-old. (I think he'd actually be fine riding by himself, I just worry about what happens after he rides. I guess maybe we could have my husband and I go on either side of him?... and the 10-year-old go last?...)

Ha, yes, I do! Clearly I was typing in a hurry (and suffering from wishful thinking)! - I'll update my post, thanks for pointing out my error!...

We'll be rope dropping DL on 1/1 and I'm curious to hear from those who've been recently - is it still recommended to wait until later in the day to try to ride Smugglers Run, or should we hit it up at rope drop? Does the fact that DL doesn't open until 9 that day change your recommendation? If...

Thanks for the input, everyone! You’ve made me feel confident that lyft could work if I leverage the pickup at DTD or one of the DLR hotels; and that ART is definitely struck from my list of options! I note that no one’s addressed my other possible plan, though, which is just driving our own car...

We have one day when we'll be traveling to the parks from the Cambria hotel (after that we're relocating to GCV). I don't want to walk the ~1 mile to/from DLR - while I could probably do it on my own, I worry that it would be too much for my sons (aged 6 and 10). I had planned to use Lyft to...

It’s not the same as Disneyland - but I recently took my 10yo to our local amusement park with two of his buddies, and they did maybe a third of the rides we’d normally do as a family in the same amount of time - they were just so excited to all be there together, they weren’t really focusing on...

Thank you!!!

Sorry, I feel like I'm missing something - where on the DL website can you find this information?...

Booked HB F!, Oga's, LL, and - this year's big splurge - the WOC Dessert Party for our last night. Also got confirmation that my son's recently-broken-arm should be cast free by the time we travel - phew!!! Getting excited!!!!!

My worry was for naught, orthopedist says he should be out of cast by Xmas! Thanks for putting my mind at ease, though!

Oooh, fingers crossed you all are right! (I mean, really, fingers crossed he’s out of the cast before the trip, but if not....) My husband was convinced there would be Todd restrictions due to fear of liability by Disney - but I should remember, he’s a lawyer, so he always assumes the worst...

So my 10-year-old broke both bones in his forearm yesterday. We haven’t been to the orthopedist yet, so don’t know how long he’ll be in a cast - but I want to be prepared to break bad news if it turns out it’ll be through our DLR trip 1/1-1/5. Does anyone know which rides will be off-limits to...

Thanks for putting my mind at ease! We've done (and loved) HB F! before, but we've never taken a trip during a high-traffic time, so I'm feeling a little paranoid! - I'm going to stick with the plans, though, thanks for convincing me.

I have reservations for Hungry Bear Fantasmic viewing for our first night in the parks, 1/1. I’ve just read a review, though, that says seating isn’t technically guaranteed and HB guests may need to stand. So now I’m second guessing and wondering if the high crowds should push us towards River...

Just to provide another experience - while I can't speak for seven months, we were able to get a reservation at about 9.5 months out (I submitted a request in late-ish March 2019 for early January 2020, got confirmation that I had a reservation about three weeks later). So yes, early planning is...
