My sister is disabled and we use an adult stroller for her, do they red tag those like they do at world. And your must do snack. Thanks.

Yes, you can get the red tags at the green (I think) information umbrellas.

I will be there with friends the 23-26th. We're doing a SW after dark event...on the 23rd, I think? Staying at Castle Inn & Suites. There are 6 of us so we need a suite!!

I'm so out of my element with this. I know almost nothing about SW and was never a fan, which I know must strike horror in the hearts of many, ha ha. I like R2D2 so I'll probably do something R2D2-inspired.

Edited to ask: do many people dress up? Do many REALLY dress up, or just kind of Disneybound, or ?

Somewhere recently I read that most dress up. But I’ve never gone. I got tickets for my dh and sis.

Check YouTube. You'll get a good idea from some of the videos. Example:

We arrive from Australia April 26, leave on 5 May. We have a 5 day pass so three days DL and two days DCA. 2 adults plus 17, 12 and 10 year olds, staying at Anaheim Islander Inn. No event nites, we couldn’t justify the cost for our family of five. Kids haven’t been since 2014 and we haven’t been since 2019 (Tokyo and LA) so yeah, expecting lots of changes!

April 27-May 1 at Candy Cane Inn! It's my second time to DLR but we visit WDW often. It'll be my younger son's first time and I can't wait for him to see Cars land! It's also a birthday trip for me

 

[Poppyko]

We are squeezing in a weekend without Star Wars and before grad nights start. We have been there on New Year’s Day, so I figure we can manage the crowds. Should be fun!!

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

I'll be there for the first time April 26-May 3! Looking forward to everything really, but kind of nervous to see Matterhorn go onto the refurb calendar on the 15th, come off on the 18th, and then go back onto it on the 22nd. Hoping beyond hope it'll be open at some point while we're at the parks!

 

[DharmaLou]

I'll be there April 5-8 for Dapper Day etc, staying at Alamo

When I went in 2022 there were tons of people dressed up. Some people looked like they just walked off a movie set, others were low-key. It was so much fun!

I have this great R2D2 dress I wear on May 4th. Very comfortable!

Same dates but Tropicana!

Same dates but Tropicana!

I'd rather stay there but since I'll have just come back from a Disney Cruise and 4 days at WDW less than 2 weeks before I need to take it easy on my bank account!

Traveling with my cousin who wanted her own sleeping area so we have a park view suite
This is my first time trying the Tropicana out, and I’m excited because while we will *barely* be in the room, having a balcony facing harbor sounds fun, firework view!

That room looks so nice. I've wanted to try it but it would be a bit crowded for a family of 4.

I finally got it updated. Let me know if you have a date to put in.

 

[NVDISFamily]

We will be at VDH from the 1st to the 8th. We were scheduled to leave on the 6th but when I saw Dapper Day was on the 7th I started to stalk the DVC site and was just lucky to book a room for two more nights. It will be our first Dapper Day and we are excited to hang out with the kids at the park.

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

@smartlabelprint totally forgot to add I was staying at the Disneyland Hotel in my original post sorry!

 

[YodaRulz]

I'll be there 5/4 - 5/10 with DD and DSIL at the GCH, and we will be attending Star Wars Nite on 5/7. This will be their first time experiencing Season of the Force

 

[Lehuaann]

May 3-11 with SW Nite (first time) on the 7th and 9th

Forgot to add where we are staying…toss between JW Marriott and CCI.
