    Disneyland Discount Park Tickets?

    Do you work for GAT? I really feel like you jump to their defense. 3 x 4-day (Feb), 1 park per day tickets on GAT $1320, same passes on DL site $1260, GAT is more. When you go to a 5-day GAT is $1335 vs DL at $1350. GAT saves you a whopping 1.1%. The 4-day are $1215 and the 5-day are $1320...

    Disneyland Discount Park Tickets?

    I've looked at these various resellers and they seem to save you between 1% and 2%. You can buy Disney gift cards at Target with the red card for 5% off. Deeper savings and you're buying straight from Disney. Bjs and Costco often have deals on Disney GCs as well. I just looked at Get Away...

    Magic Key Sales to Resume on 1/10/24!

    But you'd still need a park pass right? I couldn't reserve for each day I'm staying at DLHV and then buy my passes when I get there?

    Magic Key Sales to Resume on 1/10/24!

    I thought I remember reading if you're staying at a DL resort you get some sort of park priority. So if the AP reservations were sold out I could still get in. Did I imagine that or is it a thing?

    Magic Key Sales to Resume on 1/10/24!

    Thanks, I completely understand this now. I was clear on the bucket stuff but I was fuzzy on the dates/money. You've been so helpful I need to pick your brain one more time. If I upgrade on day 3 while I'm in DL/DCA even if the bucket isn't open, I'm already in the park so I'd be ok right? I...

    Magic Key Sales to Resume on 1/10/24!

    I know this topic has been beaten to death but I'm still not sure I understand it completely. I'm going to use round numbers for simplicity's sake, and I also understand that they may stop sales of the Magic Key passes at any time. So my scenario is I buy a 4-day hopper for $500 and use two...

    Magic Key Sales to Resume on 1/10/24!

    I've bought DL APs multiple before including the Enchant Key a couple of years ago and the DVC discount has always been a measly $20. Something makes me doubt it will be any more than that this time. I know I shouldn't complain since any discount is better than none but come on.

    Best way to get to/from LA from Anaheim

    LA traffic while driving on the wrong side of the road while sitting on the wrong side of the car (for a New Zealander)? I don't blame you for not wanting to do it. I tried it in England and it was an abject failure. I really don't have any advice other than skip the car.

    Disneyland...OMG!!!!!!!!!!

    I live in MA and if DL wasn't 3000 miles and 3 time zones away, I'd never go to WDW again. I just don't think WDW is the same as it used to be. We were there in Feb for the first time in 3 years and I just didn't feel the magic like I used to and we had APs for decades. The entire state of...

    VDH July 27th

    I started at 8am and refreshed maybe once a minute for a half hour before I got in and got the days I wanted. I would much rather do that than call but that may be just me. I really hate talking on the phone.

    VDH July 27th

    Preferred view was all that showed up for me, beggars can't be choosers so I grabbed it.

    VDH July 27th

    I'm giving them a bit of a break because you have to consider how many people all logging in at once to book the next 7 months. This is really what I expected. I have no plans to call and sit on hold for two hours, I'll just keep refreshing.

    DLH Villas Point booking

    I haven't followed it that closely but is there any speculation when the Disneyland Hotel Villas will be bookable using points. Planning a trip for Feb and I'd only be able to get a 1-bedroom (which are awesome) at VGC, no studios for my week. I'd really like to be able to save points and try...

    Hollywood studios fantasmic

    Haven't been to Fantasmic in probably 10 years. Do you still have to line up super early to guarantee a seat? I assume the later show is easier to get there later?

    WDW Annual Pass Timing Speculation

    Missed it by 3 days. Not too bad for a guess.

    Boat Rental and Fishing

    So you can fish from shore at Port orleans or Fort Wilderness with your own equipment? I've never heard this.

    Aulani at 7 month in October- what are our chances if not home resort (NOT this year but 2024)

    We always go President's week in Feb and we've always gotten a studio at 7 months (even standard view once). This is a week where Aulani is either at or very close to capacity. I would think Oct would be much easier to score at 7 months.

    Is Budget car rental on site at Honolulu airport?

    I was there last month and while the line at the counter probably took 20 minutes, I didn't have to wait for a car at all.

    Beware of Very Cold Lazy River

    I'm a bit surprised we're arguing over a 3 degree swing. Is 3 degrees really that noticeable? People are saying 77 is freezing and 80 is warm, it's 3 little degrees.
