    Hotel Question

    Definitely stay at the Fairfield instead the four points. Fairfield is so convenient! We just stayed there again last month and it was perfect. We like to stay on the first floor and there's a great fireworks view from just beyond the pool. My teenager said it was her new favorite place to watch...

    Breakfast on the go options.. no microwave!

    We do pretty much the same as the other posters. A combination of breakfast pastries (cinnamon rolls, muffins, donuts, croissants), yogurt (gogurt or other squeezes), cereal one day, uncrustables another, fruit and shelf stable milk/almond milk/juice. Kids eat when we get in line except for...

    Multi Experience Pass-What can't you use it for

    And sometimes the cast members allow you to use them on a ride that you shouldn't be able to use them on.....ask me how I know..lol. we got multiple experience passes from haunted mansion and totally forgot to read the rules. My kiddo wanted to go on space and when we scanned in, it did a weird...

    When do reservations open at Trader Sam's?

    We just did the virtual walk up list last week. It was peak dinner time 545pm on a Thursday and was only a 10 minute wait. The outside terrace was only about half full. We wanted to eat outside near the tiki torches but also went inside to watch some of the fun.

    It's kind of awful this week.

    I was there last week too. Just one day, Thursday the 21st, at Disneyland. I was expecting 9/10 crowds similar to our late Feb/early March 2022 trip and was pleasantly surprised that it definitely felt less busy than that trip. We did encounter the dreaded ride breakdowns but we made it work. We...

    ***Official DLR July 2022 Check-in Thread***

    I'm planning a rather last minute one day trip for me and two of my four kids on Thursday, July 21. We have to go to CA for the teen's basketball tournament so we're sneaking a day at DL in before her tournament. We aren't telling my just turned six year old until we get there but he's going to...

    Walking distance from both Element Hotel and Residence Inn to DL Harbor entrance?

    Element is more of a 10-15 minute walk. It's maybe a mile or so each way. Super easy to do though even with four tired kids after long park days. We spent a week at the Element in March and loved it!

    Talk to me about motel noise

    I agree with gelatoni fan. It's not a particularly good rate. Fairfield is a short walk but I'd rather stay at hotel with free breakfast. It makes our morning so much easier. We prioritized stay ing as close as possible when we had tiny kids that needed to nap so I didn't have to waste too much...

    Ratatouille at Lamplight Lounge

    We were there last week and had it. My teenager said it was the best thing she's ever eaten!

    Family of 8, best affordable stay?

    It does back up to I-5 but there was minimal road noise inside that we noticed. We travel with a white noise machine anyway. I have no idea if the pool was noisy. My hubby took the kids once and they didn't notice the noise. I was too tired from all the Disney fun! The pool is smaller but salt...

    Family of 8, best affordable stay?

    We just spent a week at the new Element by Westin hotel. We had the kids bunk bed suite which slept 8, one set of bunk beds, two queen beds and a queen size pull out couch in a very spacious room. It was walkable (15 minutes or less) and had a fantastic hot breakfast buffet. This was a great...

    Lamplight Lounge different menus vs where you sit??

    We were there last night too! My daughter got the chicken nachos and she got waaaay more food than I did with my lobster nachos. The potato skins were amazing. They were more like fancy deep fried potato patties but again best thing ever!

    Talk to me about motel noise

    That is an insane price per night for the Fairfield. I'm so sorry the conversion is so awful right now! Yikes. That makes me wallet hurt jus thinking about it. We stayed there on our last trip (Aug 2019). I requested a 1st floor room facing the parking lot because we wanted the absolute shortest...

    A Few Questions

    I bet you can find a cheaper car rental than $700 for your 7 night trip. Have you tried Costco Car Rental? We're going next week for 10 days and our mini van rental will be less than $600! It's really more convenient to rent a car in Southern California especially if you have non-Disneyland...

    Let's talk corn dogs!

    I don't have any answers for you about the beef corn dogs. We've had the deep fried cheese in the past. It is very rich and we shared it between our family (6 of us) because it was very cheesy. I love cheese though! I have a recently diagnosed beef allergic kid who is crushed that she can't...

    Splash Mountain reopening March 8th!

    Ha ha! Maybe we are secretly related. :) I have 4 Disney loving kiddos (ages 14, 11, 10 and 5) The 5 year old has been asking me every day of this pandemic to go see Mickey and we can finally do it! Have a great trip and maybe we'll see you there! We're starting DL on Sun, Tues and Fri and DCA...

    Splash Mountain reopening March 8th!

    Sadly I don't think it's an option to switch our dates. We are able to get highly discounted employee rate hotel rooms but they're usually only available if we book them 90 days before the trip. Our dates are locked in based on when we can get those. It would cost us triple or more to pay rack...

    Splash Mountain reopening March 8th!

    Oh how fun! We're going to visit my husband's family in Oceanside after we are at Disneyland so I guess technically we *could* add more days since we don't fly home until March 8th. But I don't think they'd appreciate us ditching our visit with them for more days at Disneyland. Lol. They already...
