    Where can I get the AP Blockout day pass?

    Do you know if you can buy them at the GCH front desk? I know they have printed tickets for me before, but I'm really hoping we can avoid waiting in the monster long lines at the ticket booth for our trip in June.

    Disneyland 2008 Half Marathon

    I've had really good luck finding training plans at Runnersworld.com. The Smart Coach is really fun for personalized training plan based on where you are and where you want to be. They also have some good general training plans as well if you prefer. Good luck! If I can do it, anyone can!

    Disneyland 2008 Half Marathon

    DH and I ran the half the inaugural year. It was the most fun race I've ever run (I've only run 6 half marathons, but a number of other 5ks and 10ks). DH has run over 30 marathons plus a number of other races, and he thought it was the most fun race he has run as well. Unfortuantely, the...

    Disney Vacation Package or booking separate?

    I have to agree about the airfare. I have only found one trip (out of about 20) where WDTC could get me airfare for the same price as booking it myself. So, I never have them book airline tickets. I do that myself and get a package for everything else...except rental cars too, now that I...

    Disney Vacation Package or booking separate?

    One thing to keep in mind when booking separately is the WDTC packages include the resort fees for the DLR hotels as well as taxes. That is one thing I haven't taken into account before, and found out how much the taxes, etc. really cost! Plus you can't put a monetary value on some of the...

    Downtown Disney or Theme Park View?

    I wholeheartedly agree with the DTD view at Christmas. It is amazing! Even when the location isn't the best, you get to see the beautiful decorations. I've had great luck in the 4 times we had the view room to be able to see the fireworks mostly. Some locations are better than others, but...

    Passes with longer expiration date

    Unfortunately, the spur of the moment trip didn't work out, but thanks for the info about the Deluxe AP. I never considered that because I thought the blackout dates would be a problem. After looking at the calendar, I discovered these would work out well for us. We have done the premium...

    Passes with longer expiration date

    I may have the change of making a quick trip (for 2 days) to Disneyland this weekend and then a longer trip in December. I am wondering if there is a way to get passes that have a longer expiration date (not the normal 13 days from first use). My thoughts are we could get the 7 day passes and...

    Something New For The Holidays?

    Ok, I'm terribly curious....What was it? Can someone at least give a description since the link isn't working?!?!

    Burbank or Long Beach airport

    I didn't realize Long Beach was so close, so we always fly into Orange County. Now I'm wondering which is closer/easier - Long Beach or Orange County? For use Long Beach is quite a bit cheaper, so that may be an even bigger advantage!

    Family Fun Run Sept??

    I ran the half marathon last year, but watched the 5k while my 10 year old DD ran it. It looked really fun...so fun I signed up for both the half marathon and the 5k this year. My daughter loved it and ran the whole thing, but I saw people walking as well as running. Keep in mind this isn't a...

    We're at Disneyland-help!

    We've been taking my DD (now 4) since she was teeny tiny. She has gone through those phases where she would have nothing to do with the rides as well. When she isn't up for rides, we often find that she is REALLY into seeing characters and shows, so that's how we spend our time. Hopefully...

    Thanks Dis'ers for GCH Info

    I'm SO glad you got to do the Grand Quest! It is one of our favorite memories of our DL vacations. Hope you enjoyed the fireworks!

    Disneyland Hotel or Grand Californian, and why?

    Although the DH has been getting a lot of praise, I had the opposite experience when we stayed there in December. I was VERY unimpressed by the experience. Our room felt small, and my 10 year old DD didn't like the day bed in the room (said it was very uncormfortable). The bathrooms were...

    May roll call and info.

    We'll be there May 28-June 2. We're trying out the PP this trip and will have hit all 3 on site hotels within the last 12 months. Hopefully, we will like PP more than DLH (we're spoiled by the GC!).

    Guesses about Candlelight Processional

    Thanks for the info everyone! I think I'll plan on the 6-10. We try to go every December since that's my favorite time. I love the Christmas decorations, but the one year we went when the CP was taking place wasn't as fun, crowded, and limited our time in DL. Now I just need to finish...

    GCH parking ??

    I love pulling up to the gate at the GC and having them welcome my me and my family. The attendants by the door are also so nice and helpful. We always drop everything off, checkin (even though it is before the room is ready), drive across the street to park, and then enjoy a walk through DD...

    Guesses about Candlelight Processional

    I know it's REALLY early, but I'm trying to figure out when the CP will be in December so I can avoid that weekend for an early Dec. trip. Since Dec 1 is on a Saturday, I'm not sure when it would it. Does anyone recall what weekend it was on when this happened in the past? I appreciate your...

    Grand Californian Please Read

    The grand quest is usually in the afternoon sometime, which is probably why not many people do it. In the little information sheet you get each night with the turndown service, it lists the time. I don't think it is limited to families with kids. At least I don't remember seeing that anywhere.
