    Scheduling WWYD?

    THIS! be sure you are prepared to be there about 5 times longer than you expect. We went once years ago. At about the 4 hour mark we lied and told them my sister was ill and we needed to leave before she passed out. While it sounds like a fun thing, it gets really boring watching the same...

    Hotel and ticket questions please help! :)

    We stayed there about 6 years ago. Property was ok, but the walk was a bit longer than we prefer. We really like being on the harbor side of the park. We used the ART, but found the scheduled to not be terribly accurate. The rooms, at that time, did not have a fridge in them. We really like...

    What's your favorite Disney Good Neighbor hotel?

    Another vote for the candy cane inn. My 2nd choice is the BW Park Place. I like the grounds and breakfast better at the CCI, but the BWPPI location can't be beat! I've stayed the Park Vue as well, and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. I've only stayed at two hotels in the area that I...

    Please talk to me about the Candy Cane Inn!

    Its our off site hotel of choice. We've stayed there most times than I can count in the last 12-14 years. Its close, the shuttle is great, and breakfast is enough to start the day. We've never encountered any of the noise or housekeeping issues that others have occasionally mentioned. The...

    Counter (Quick) Service for young men/big eaters. (In DL)

    The chimichangas ( sold at the carts with the turkey legs) are pretty big, filling and cheap. The meals at Rancho Z are usually more than any of us can finish. The burgers at smokejumpers are a decent size and they have a topping bar.

    Last minute help!!

    just so no one is confused by this: You only need to purchase max pass for the people that want to use it. If you are only using it for photos, just one person needs it. If you have people in your party, say an elderly person or a young child that will not be riding fast pass rides, they...

    Renting a car question

    I almost always rent thru Costco travel. They have great prices! And you can use autoslash .com and it will track and see if a better rate becomes available. As others have said, be sure to check the surcharge to drop at a place other than where you picked the car up. I've found its typically...

    How do you book your disneyland trip?

    I've used Disney travel, Costco (which uses Disney travel) and I've booked everything on my own direct with hotels and airlines and thru booking sites. It really depends on what specials Disney travel is running and what cash I have on hand to work with. I do like the little perks thru Costco...

    How much planning do you put into your meals and snacks?

    We aren't big planners. We know there are a few things or places we will want to eat while we are there. We will decide on the fly when they will happen depending on the lines, what park we are in, the weather, etc.

    New here and some dining questions

    I havent tried it, and maybe someone else can confirm if it can be done, but can part of the party do WOC at Carthay and the others that aren't going to watch WOC, just order off the menu? I'd call Disney dining and ask. No point in paying for it and be stuck with the limited menu if I you...

    Disneyland First Timers! Dining Question....

    If Characters and a character meal is important to you, then yes, do the Plaza in. If you don't care about Characters, then skip the Plaza and do Blue Bayou. The food at the Plaza is ok, but not worth it if you don't care about the character interaction. If you are in it for the characters...

    Going on Mother’s Day

    I've been there on Mothers day 2-3 times. They hand out carnations to the moms on your way into the park. Otherwise, its just another busy Sunday.

    How big are the rental strollers?

    Unless she's a large 5 year old, you should be fine. Google Disneyland rental strollers, and look at "images". You can see what they look like. They are green jogging type strollers. You might also consider rental from an outside company. They can deliver to your hotel so that you have...

    Staying 20 mins away

    if you want to get a true picture of how long it will take you, use a GPS/ MAP app. If you are going to be there, on say a Thursday, use a Thursday or two for a sample. Get up early on Thursday and plug your friends address and the park in to the app. See how long it says it will take you...

    10 cents for a bag

    Its not just in CA. We have areas in WA state that have that too. In the Seattle city limits and Tacoma you have to purchase bags.

    Candy Cane Inn

    I'm going for Memorial weekend. My pretax rate at the CCI is $ 147 per night for a standard room, with out discounts (I'll give them AAA when I get there, and save a couple $). The cheapest rate at Trop the same days is $ 189.00 per night, no discounts, pretax.
