DIS Exclusive Backstage Magic 7/29 - 8/3/18

[Seltzer76]

I don’t think we’ll get Fastpasses for the last day of our tour. I hope we can add MaxPass to our ticket that day.

I asked Kevin in the beginning about this and I got kind of a ‘blanket answer’ about no ticket upgrades. I’m not sure he knew about Max Pass though. I imagine if we don’t get any fast passes then we would probably be able to add MaxPass...why wouldn’t Disney want our $10, right?

 

[OKW Lover]

I was curious if we get fast passes for all four days at Disneyland?

In the past they have not given out fast passes for the last day.

There are still paper fastpasses (from machines/kiosks) available if we can’t add MaxPass to our ticket

True, true. But...MaxPass is awesome! Here is a shameless plug for a contributor article I wrote on the experience. http://www.wdwinfo.com/disneylandcalifornia/using-disneyland-maxpass-to-maximize-my-family-vacation/

So, does anyone have specific parts of the trip they are most looking forward to? Here's mine....

Touring:
-Imagineering
-Walt's Apartment

Attractions:
-Haunted Mansion
-Space Mountain (both closed last time I was there)

Food:
- Corn Dog from Little Red Wagon (also closed last time, I've never had one of these!)
- Mickey beignets from Cafe Orleans

I’m looking forward to Imagineering, Guardians of the Galaxy and Pixar Pier, and I want to try some of Alien Pizza Planet’s new menu items.

I don't think I can pinpoint one thing I am looking forward to the most. I am just looking forward to being there...first ABD for us so that is exciting just by itself.

 

[DisneyKevin]

i don't think I will be spoiling any surprises when I tell you that ABD takes care of the parade, fireworks, Fantasmic and World of Color.

There may also be a surprise or two.

After last weeks podcast portion on attractions that are the same but different between Walt Disney World and Disneyland, I want to have a closer look at Haunted Mansion, Pirates, and Space Mountain!

It’s been reported in one of the ABD forum threads that MaxPass can be added to the tickets, but it is not recommended because of the Fastpasses you already get (except the last day of the adventure when no FPs are distributed).

Somehow I have never gotten around to seeing Fantasmic in either DL or WDW. Looking forward to it!

I can’t put into words how excited we are

Good to know. I will only have anout 3 hours in the park on that last day before I fly home and want to MAXimize by time. .

 

[Denise/Dennis]

We are driving from Michigan to California. We decided to kickoff our Disney fix by checking out Marceline, Missouri. Walt lived there when he was 5 until he was 10. He modeled Disneyland’s Main Street off of Marceline Main Street. Lots of things to see there. We’re excited. We’ll take lots off pictures to show anyone who might be interested.
We will be at Disneyland Hotel 2 days early to enjoy the parks. Anyone there early who would like to meet up with us let me know. Just a little over 5 weeks to go. Can’t Wait!!!!!! Also can’t wait to meet Pete and Ryno!!!!!

 

[Denise/Dennis]

I just read World of Color will remain closed at least through our trip. Darn I really wanted to see that.

Thank you! I'm so excited to be going. Thanks for working to get me in this group! I am beyond appreciative!

I’m sure ABD will find something for us to do in its place. We can just ride Radiator Springs over and over.
