    WDW Vet park hopper questions

    We recently spent 5 days without the hoppers. We still got everything done we wanted to do and most of the time we didn't like we were missing out on anything. If we had hopped we probably would have felt more overwhelmed with a bigger space available at a given time. Instead, we just focused on...

    Paint the Night Parade and Disneyland Forever Fireworks Strategy

    Last week, we decided to wing it and found a spot for the first PTN about 15 minutes before it started LOL. It was in front of Pixie Hollow near the Matterhorn. Our view was slightly obstructed by some trees, but that was fine considering we waited for such a short amount of time for the parade...

    How do you see the fireworks without seeing the first Paint The Night?

    We will be at disneyland next week and we are planning to see the fireworks from the mainstreet/hub area but we don't want to see the first Paint The Night. (We will probably see the later one on another one of our days, because is supposed to be less crowded). I have read through the PTN / FW...

    Questions regarding switching hotels

    Thank you everyone for your helpful replies! We will probably just stick with our original plans of staying at the DLH. Thanks again!

    Questions regarding switching hotels

    Hello! Lately we have been thinking about switching from the DLH to the PPH for our trip in June to save money, since there are still rooms left at the PPH for our dates according to the disneyland official website. We have already booked (with a travel agent), but we have been able to make...

    My sis who is a DLR vet thinks we're doing it wrong

    As a previous poster mentioned, it is possible that your sister might be a tad jealous of what you are able to afford. ;) Honestly though, it is your vacation. You know your vacation style better than she does. There are plenty of people who vacation like you do, and there are plenty of...

    Is June 2015 a good/bad time?

    Oh, I'm sorry, did I post something that is incorrect? If so, I would appreciate that you would politely correct the numerous errors I have made instead of bashing every single one my posts on this subject simply for the fact that I have never been. If there was a rule that stated that...

    Head is spinning with lodging choices

    Here is a recent thread about the new courtyard http://www.disboards.com/threads/fairfield-inn-july-11-18-or-new-hotel-w-waterpark-july-16-22.3376358/ It will be easily walkable, since it will be next to Mimi's Café. It says it will be a five minute walk, but I presume it will be slightly...

    Head is spinning with lodging choices

    Driving to disneyland is really inconvenient. When on a multi-day visit, it just defeats the fact that DLR is an easily walkable, pedestrian resort. Not to mention that the traffic around the annaheim and los angeles area is crazy during rush hour, depending on how far you stay. It would also...

    Is June 2015 a good/bad time?

    It definitely won't be as bad as Christmas time, but with the 60th anniversary events, it will probably turn out to be more crowded than the previous years were, especially with the AP holders. Before their blockouts, expect large amounts of AP holders in the parks who are trying to squeeze in...

    WDW Vet Planning 1st DL Trip - Is one Full Day Enough?

    One day will be really tight. In fact, you can't even get through disneyland park in a day. Although the disneyland resort may look pretty small on map, there is about the same amount of rides in DL's two parks of there are in WDW's four parks. And since most of the rides at DLR are considered...

    How many days?

    The more days you have, the better! In fact, even with 4 days, you might not get everything done, so it's always best to shoot for more days and be relaxed as opposed to having too little time and rushing around to everything in. It is a vacation, after all! If you find 4 days is too much time...

    Fairfield Inn July 11-18 or NEW hotel w/ waterpark July 16-22

    I would go with the water park hotel. It looks great, according to the maps it is super close, and it seems like it would be higher quality than the surrounding hotels and motels. AND (like you said) you would be one of the first few people to try it out! It will probably be expensive, but it...

    Pool Hopping @ DL Hotels

    Unfortunately, you are not allowed to pool hop at DLR. But I am pretty sure you can rent a cabana at another resort's pool, and as a PP mentioned, if your pool closed, you are granted access to the other pools.

    Disneyland Hotel Vs. Grand Californian

    It really depends on what you are looking for in a hotel. If you are using the hotel as a place to relax and get pampered, then the grand californian would work great for you. It has a nice, woodsy, and luxurious feel to it and is generally recommended as a great resort for adults. The location...

    End of March/ Beginning of April - More ride closures?

    I can understand how disheartening the closures can be for some people. But think about it, any day at disney is better than a day at work! Instead of focusing on the things that will be closed, focus on the things that are open! Be positive and keep an open mind! The closures and rehabs are...

    Grad Nights?

    Hello! I have a few questions about grad nights in DCA. We will encounter two of them (wednesday june 17th and friday june 19th) during our stay, so any info would be greatly appreciated! So first of all, I read that the private grad parties were from 10 pm to 2 am. Would that mean that DCA...
