    Why buy park hoppers?

    I usually go with hoppers because, as several others have said, DCA is not really a full day park for me. I have typically ridden and seen everything I want to by the early afternoon. So, I hop back over to Disneyland for the rest of the day. There is SO much more to see there, I wouldn't want...

    POTC right vs left line

    Interesting, I've always chosen the right side if they're at the same length, thinking that wrapping toward the side of the building on the left would take more time. Has someone around here actually timed it out?

    Tips For First Trip?

    As already mentioned, you do not get to select a certain time - they are just next available. So when you first enter the park in the morning, you will notice that all FP times are going to be pretty early in the morning. As the day goes on, the FP return times will get later, eventually running...

    DCA Food & Wine: no thanks!

    I didn't catch this thread at the time, but I was at DCA during the F&W earlier this year. I didn't know it would be going on, and was confused about why it was so crowded. Then I saw the booths. The food seem way overpriced for how much you get. I found it very annoying that the walkway from...

    DL 4/9-4/11 2020 - Is it worth it?

    Definitely worth it! I have been at crazy busy times and low crowd times, and it was always worth it. Just be a little smart in your touring (be there at rope drop, use your Magic Morning at Disneyland, use MaxPass) and you'll be just fine. Park Hoppers may help because if you find one park too...

    Another motel comparison thread: DI&S vs Majestic

    I've stayed at both. The rooms at Majestic were a little nicer, but I didn't like the distance. When having to choose between a 20+ minute walk or waiting for a shuttle at the end of the day (and sometimes we had to wait for the next one because the first was full), neither ever felt like a good...

    VIDEO: The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh | Love It, Hate It, Update It | Disneyland Park

    Hate it. I would not be sad if they tore it down tomorrow. Not because I necessarily loved the Country Bears that much (it was good but never a favorite of mine), but because from the very first time I rode it I felt that Winnie the Pooh was poorly done. It looks so cheap and lame compared to...

    Help trying to plan/budget a DL vacation as a newbie

    I second this recommendation. The "Good Neighbor" designation is pretty much meaningless, and there is no benefit to booking the hotel through Disney. In many cases it is actually cheaper to book directly with the hotel, and buy tickets separately. As for which hotel to pick, keep in mind that...

    Unwell visitors, healthcare options

    Wow, I've never heard of a doctor making house calls (or hotel calls, in this case), unless someone was literally on their death bed. For some reason we're just expected to suck it up and venture out to a clinic, where we can worsen our illness while infecting others. It's not a great system.

    River Belle Terrace Breakfast Items - Anywhere Else?

    I'm still so bummed about this change. I loved ordering a Mark Twain and splitting it with my husband while we enjoyed the peaceful Rivers of America before the crowds showed up. I expect things to change in Disneyland every so often, but it feels like a lot of changes lately with seemingly no...

    Just Back - WDW vs Disneyland thoughts

    Obviously if you had unlimited money then the best option would be four days, park hoppers, with MaxPass. But for those of us who need to budget, it makes sense to choose only those options that your family will value most. I think that you will definitely want at least two full days in...

    Anaheim majestic vs Park Vue

    I have not stayed at Park Vue, but have stayed at the Majestic. While it was a nice hotel and the shuttle was reliable, I would not do it again. I hated the lack of freedom in having to schedule life around shuttles. I like being able to walk back to the room within 10 minutes, whenever I want...

    LMTC Disneyland tickets no longer available?/Information on Refunds

    At this point, I would go with UT just because LMTC is starting to seem questionable to me. I don't know if I want to trust hundreds of dollars to a company that has had so many random changes on their website all of a sudden and different stories every time you call. Too sketchy for me.

    Disneyland VS. Disneyworld

    I think what they're trying to say is that federal employees get the day off, but state employees do not. I'm a California state employee and we used to get Columbus Day off years ago, but we no longer do.

    What to pack for late October weather?

    It's a tough time of year for packing, because the weather really can go in any direction! It's more likely that it will be a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings, but hot during the day. How hot is another good question that's hard to answer. It could be comfortable in the 80s, or it could...

    Comparing Thanksgiving crowds to Spring Break

    I've been during both times, and I seem the remember the crowds being about the same. Maybe a bit worse during Thanksgiving week.

    Best GN hotel for those who tend to stay onsite?

    When it comes to Paradise Pier, I stayed there once with a discount and while I'm glad I did it, I don't feel a need to stay there again. It's a nice hotel but wasn't anything super special. My favorite part was that we were upgraded to a premium view, and the view of DCA was really amazing. We...

    Cali Itinerary

    This sounds like such an awesome trip!! You are going to have a great time. I agree that you absolutely must do Yosemite - I'd put that as the number one priority myself, even above Disneyland. I truly believe it's the most beautiful place on earth. Definitely worth the hours long drive there...
