    The Disneyland Hotel Superthread

    I used to only tip at the end, but asked once if they pooled tips and was told no. So, now I do a smaller tip for when I drop off bags and when I receive bags. $1-$2/bag.

    What to Drink That Isn't SUGAR?

    I end up buying water and milk at most places. Some of the stands have coconut water. I'll also get a vitamin water (usually at a popcorn cart), but those do have sugar in them - just not as ridiculous as the fountain drinks.

    ?'s and help needed with planning Hawaiian cruise

    I flew from Seattle to Vancouver. It's a small plane and your feet vibrate the whole time. It was quite the experince! People who aren't in a hurry take a bus or train. I've read that on a rare occasion, someone will accidently travel to Vancouver, WA on the bus or train. That's in a different...

    DL worth it on just a Saturday?

    Would you have fun without Genie+? I mostly go on Saturdays and I don't buy Genie+. Rarely, I will buy a LL ride. If your kids are old enough to go single rider and you all feel like going with the flow, you can have a good time. Saturdays have the longest hours with most things open and all...

    Reservation this weekend, might need to cancel.

    I have a one night stay this weekend and am having a lot of back pain right now. I've already done the online check in and now I am not sure if I want to go. While it's a long shot that it would get rented, would you put it up for rent (2 days before check in)? Cancel it? My use year is June so...

    Pass on Oogie Boogie?

    I recommend going to it. Even if you completely ignore the entire celebration, you will have minimal wait time for the rides and can do all the headliners when the parade is going (it goes twice). I don't do character meet and greets normally, but love the villains on the trick or treat...

    Opinion ~ Is a two night trip to Disneyland even worth it?

    I think it's enough, but it really depends on how important it is for you to do everything that you want to do. I usually go for 2 days. I'll have a couple things in mind that I absolutely have to do and then everything else is a bonus. Since you are mentioning going to special event days, I'd...

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

    Not currently a VGC owner, but when I was, it was easy to book 10-11 months out. I am currently a VDH owner and I have been booking my resort at 10-11 months out and then putting in a waitlist request for VGC when it gets to the 7 month mark. It's been hitting for me each time, but I only go...

    Newly scored waitlist reservation was supposed to replace existing reservation.

    I had VDH booked for August and put in a waitlist for VGC for the same dates with the "replace current booking" option. Today, I got my confirmation that my waitlist came through - Hurray! I went to check the my points and I noticed that I still have the VDH booking that was supposed to be...

    Seeking Transport Advice for 2025 Port Canaveral

    Thanks for all the feedback! I appreciate all the responses. That was a really fun thread! Got me totally pumped for staying at the Poly, but I'll be doing it in reverse with a pre cruise stay. Yes, I agree after thinking about it. Sounds like it would just be adding a lot of extra travel...

    Seeking Transport Advice for 2025 Port Canaveral

    I'm a west coaster and been hanging here in California for my Disney stuff. I have 2 cruises out of Port Canaveral scheduled for next year. It's been over 10 years since I have been to that port or the area and I am seeking advice for getting to port. I'll be flying into MCO both times. Things...

    Parking at San Diego

    There's a Wyndham across the street from the port. I have parked there when taking a cruise before. It's literally a 5 minute walk to the port. There are also lots of parking garages in the area for the airport and some of them will have transit to the port. I use Aladdin. It's about a mile walk...

    First trip to the final frontier - 8 night Alaska - 9/11/23 - completed

    I can't wait to hear about Sitka. I've been to the other ports a couple times each and don't really feel the need to go back to any of them, even though I enjoyed Skagway and Juneau. I never quite understood the attraction of Ketchikan, but maybe you found something better there than what I have...

    Current Believe Key questions

    I'll take that as the way it is then and just keep checking periodically. Puts me in a spot where I need to decide what to do about my VDH reservation in April. Maybe just take a spa day on the blocked day. 💆
