    *March 2019 Check In*

    We stayed there back in 2010 at a rate of $89 per night. My, how things have changed! We really loved the location, which is why we are staying again. Our recent trips we have stayed at Homewood Suites, which we LOVE! This time the price was just too steep (I guess due to spring break) so we...

    *March 2019 Check In*

    Our trip is getting really close now! We leave Canada this Saturday to fly to Vegas for 3 days. Head to Anaheim on Tuesday 19th, arriving around 11pm. We are staying at Park Vue Inn this trip. Have three full days with park hoppers. I keep looking up the website that tells how busy the parks...

    Surprise AP & Ticket Increase

    Perfect - thank you so much! I was about to buy the Canadian Resident offer on the Disney site (still has the old pricing and maxpass for $10) but it seems the Undercover Tourist prices are even less...$572 for 3 day non hopper versus $612 on Disney. I can live without maxpass if adding it on...

    Surprise AP & Ticket Increase

    Do any of you know what the "blackout dates" for tickets from Undercover Tourist are? The promos they have say blackout dates apply but I can't find anywhere that states what the blackout dates are....

    *March 2019 Check In*

    The shows and entertainment were fabulous, as was the food and service onboard. We had done Alaska on 4 other cruises prior to this one so really only went for the ship - Disney ships are really not made for cold weather cruising in my opinion! There were very few things to do on the decks as...

    *March 2019 Check In*

    We are cruising with Princess, not Disney! My family are HUGE cruise fans - must say, our one and only cruise on Disney (to Alaska) was a bot disappointing given the premium we paid to cruise Disney! The kids HATED the kid programming - it was just too chaotic and unstructured for them. Having...

    *March 2019 Check In*

    We will be back in DL from March 19th to 23rd. This is quite the trip evolving for us - staying in Vegas March 16th to 19th as friends will be there. Then Disney until the 23rd, and a cruise to Mexico from the 23rd to 30th! Can't wait! I currently have both Homewood Suites and Park Vue Inn...

    Advice for Universal Please!

    Such great info - thank you! We will definitely check out the wand options online. I hadn't really considered there would be more than one. She is a huge Ginny fan so I'm guessing that is what she would go for! She has read all of the books and seen all of the movies (we have the program at our...

    Advice for Universal Please!

    Thanks both! I was hoping to do HP on the Saturday morning, as you both suggested - makes most sense. I have a feeling, though, that as soon as DD sees it on Friday she will want to go there! I'm going to have to persuade her that she will have far more time to do it if she waits a day! Maybe we...

    Advice for Universal Please!

    Hi All, We are heading to Universal Studios after a cruise and would love some tips to make the most of our time there! We leave the ship Friday October 5th and will be staying at Hilton Universal Friday night and Saturday night. We have never done Universal before so really looking for any/all...

    When to go? Spring Break or first week of June

    This is awesome! Thank You! I'm rethinking the spring break thing - we just got back from the last three days of Festival of Holidays and it was insane. I don't want to rush into another one of those crazy crowd times!

    When to go? Spring Break or first week of June

    When is spring break for you guys? I was thinking of heading down during our spring break (Vancouver, Canada) the week of March 26th. Is this different (and potentially less crowded) than Californian spring break?

    World of Color Superthread

    We did the WOC dessert party on Jan 3rd and were very pleased with it! I pre-booked as soon as reservations opened for myself, mom, and 2 kids (10 and 6). The parks were very busy that day given that it was the first day APs were allowed back in after black outs so I'm glad we didn't have to...

    Best Way From DL For An Early LAX Flight

    We had a 7am flight from LAX last Saturday. We were staying at Homewood Suites and pre-booked Lansky. They picked us up at 3am (our flight was to Canada so we were meant to be there 3 hours prior). We went with them as they were able to provide car seats. The cost was $120 and they used a big...

    Just Back From 3 Days in the Parks - Jan 3-6.

    What is a multiple experience pass?

    Just Back From 3 Days in the Parks - Jan 3-6.

    I am totally in tune with the family you were speaking too! I, too, thought Jan 3-6 would be quiet and although I was more prepared for reality after reading these boards I was still STUNNED at the sheer number of people and the length of the lines. I enjoy Disney but I definitely wouldn't call...

    Just Back From 3 Days in the Parks - Jan 3-6.

    We couldn't get max pass on the 2nd day as the Disney system was down- I'm sure this added to the lines and wait times! We booked one ticket through last minute travel for my mom and she did get an actual ticket emailed so didn't have wait in line. Of course, it didn't really help as she still...

    MaxPass / Digital Fastpass - Discussion Thread

    I wonder if that was why the lines and return times were exceptionally long Thursday? We didn't get max pass Thursday but I wasn't able to access any of my dining reservations for the whole day - this was a problem as I wanted to cancel the Fantasmic package we had for the following day. No one...

    Just Back From 3 Days in the Parks - Jan 3-6.

    This was our experience for the 3 days (not sure if it's always this way or just when it's busy). The shuttle dropped at the very far left security line up (not sure of my North and South) and this area was fenced off from the regular security line ups and there were cast members preventing...

    Just Back From 3 Days in the Parks - Jan 3-6.

    Just wanted to check in and give a quick rundown of our trip in case it helps anyone else out there... Myself, my mom, and my 2 kids (DD aged 10 and DS aged 6) just got back from a 3 day trip which we added on to the end of a 2 week cruise. I naively added it without researching - I was...
