    Just booked July 6, 2008 Mexican Riveria. Woo Hoo

    I am so excited, I just booked us a Disney cruise! I live in California, and when I heard that the Disney Magic was coming, how could I pass it up? Originally thought about the 15 day Westbound cruise but decided that might be too long for us. So I chose the 7nighter instead. This is an...

    Just back from WDW - Camera got stolen !!!!!

    another sad story... Ok, this is nothing in comparison to losing a camera with precious pictures on it. But someone took my son's personalized Mickey ears off our table at Chef Mickeys while we were up getting food! We were gone maybe 3 minutes & poof. The people at the table next to us saw a...

    Is Fantasmic scary?

    My kids are older and it was not scary for them, however, we had a group of young families sitting by us and probably half of the toddlers/preschoolers were crying, hiding and 'not' enjoying the show for some of the louder/scarier portions. I know some people love that show, but my family...

    Grocery delivery - which service?

    We used Garden Grocer in August. We were thrilled with the wonderful service we received. Delivery was exactly when promised, every single item we requested was delivered, even our special requests that were NOT on the list. He even put the items away for us. I would note your special requests...

    bc

    I think that the Beach Club is a perfect hotel & I want to stay there next time. We went there to visit my sister/brother in law who stayed there & then walked over to Epcot from there to see Illuminations. Its such a nice, short, pretty & uncrowded walk. I would say 3 minutes max - that's...

    Which day better to visit Hollywood/Bev Hills?

    I Agree that Sunday would be better, trafficwise. Monday it would take forever to get there and back. Crowds will be heavier on the weekend, but you'll lose HOURS in transit time if you go on Monday.

    Best Surfing Lessons

    My kids took surf lessons last summer from Surf LA. They had a ball. It was a very upbeat, positive couple hours. We took the lessons at Santa Monica Beach by the Santa Monica Pier. They include wetsuits and the board and some great instruction. I cant remember the exact price but I think it was...

    Anyone know where Thrifty Icecream is in SD?

    There is still a Farrell's in Valencia (or Santa Clarita as its sometimes called). Its part of an entertainment center. They have mini golf, go carts, arcade, etc. The Farrells there is pretty good. A couple of Rite Aids in Ventura County still have the Thrifty Ice Cream counters, which are...

    Has AK grown on you?

    This past august was our first trip. We had heard mixed reviews for AK so we didnt plan much time there. I am really sorry, because we loved that park. We skipped our last day planned at MGM and went to AK instead. I think the atmosphere is just wonderful and there are so many things that you...

    Talk to me about late August.....

    We were there August 20-28 and loved it. Yes it was very HOT and very HUMID and it rained a couple times, but the crowd level was very manageable. We got to ride everything we wanted with very little wait, except for a few rides. We used fast pass for those. The dining plan was great, even...

    Year of A Million Dreams Winnings

    I posted this on the other thread, but here is what we witnessed today at Disneyland. We went to Disneyland today. It was incredibly crowded, but lots of fun. We didnt have anything extra special happen to us, but we did see a few things. We saw a young family grabbed from the masses on...

    Year of Million Dreams -- anyone else get something yet? Post your wishes won here!

    We went to Disneyland today. It was incredibly crowded, but lots of fun. We didnt have anything extra special happen to us, but we did see a few things. We saw a young family grabbed from the masses on Main St. and escorted down towards the firestation and then inside. Not sure what they...

    Fake names for Cast Members

    I think they have the fake names at Disneyland, too. I just called the Disneyland Dining Reservation Number to make a reservation for Monday at Goofy's Kitchen and was helped by Trixy. Ok, that could be her real name, but I wouldn't bet on it. I think the whole fake name thing is great :)

    How much Disney is too much?

    We just got back from our very first trip to Disney World (Aug 28). I miss it so much already. So I am now going to take the kids to Disneyland October 2. (my kids have that day off school). People, my husband included, think I am nuts. They say things like "You just got back", or "Didn't you...

    Wishes Fireworks viewing spots -- what is your fave?

    We actually really liked the view from the backside of the castle. You had to look back and forth to see it all, but we felt like we were right in the middle of it all. It felt like it was happening right over us. We stood just to the side of the carousel (left side, facing castle). We also...
