HOWDY PARTNER!
WDW veteran here, family of four (ages will be 7&9 for the anticipated trip). We've been waiting to go to DLR since my eldest was born! East coasters, we wanted to make sure they'd be ok (read: tolerable) on the flights. I've been to WDW at least 10 times in the last 10 years, kids are also park veterans, but we all have never (ever!) been to DL!
The scoop is we KNOW we want to go in the fall for Oogie Boogie Bash 2021. HUGE halloween fans, this year is the first MNSSHP we are missing in 5 years in a row. Darn COVID! I know nothing about DL though. We are DVC members using points, so don't need any hotel help. But I do need help with a lot and I'm having trouble digging through the threads. TY in advance for your patience with this newbie! Can the experts share their input on
- transport from the airport (and is LAX best from New England?)
- how many nights? How to figure in Oogie Boogie into this too
- optimal time frame for lower crowd level? At least historically.. I know its all in the air bc of COVID
- absolute MUST do's, anything special at Downtown Disney? What DL exclusive stuff do we NEED to see other than the different rides?
- what advice would you give to a WDW veteran on their first trip to DL? Especially with kiddos?
- what else are must dos on the west coast? I'm researching a couple days in San Diego... not sure what else!
