We went for lunch a little before noon and it was basically a walk-in. They just needed a few minutes and then took us to our table. It was kind of nice NOT to have a reservation to allow for flexibility with premier access/shows. That said, if you have your heart set on it you may want to keep...

ooops! I think I must have seen it on a blog site or something, it’s not on the official site and we didn’t attempt it…I will go back and edit :)

I know your trip has passed, but we were able to do walk-up at Magellans and I was very impressed. Everything was delicious and service was wonderful.

Update: we got there about 30 min before opening with our konbini breakfast. They didn’t let anyone in (or through security) until 9 (official opening time). As someone who is used to rope drop where you get all the way through security, enter the park then wait at the rope or felt crazy to be...

We just returned from Tokyo and decided to purchase evening tickets for TDL day-of. We got there a little before 5 so we could go in as soon as allowed. We mostly just wanted to check it out and compare to other castle parks, so we didn’t have a strict list of goals (I live 30 min from CA DL so...

Thanks for the tips! I’ve been keeping an eye on ride wait times and they look a little crazy…I think we’ll try to focus on a few must-dos and otherwise soak in the ambiance, shop/snack. We won’t have any kids in tow this trip, which will make the lines a little easier. That is crazy that Toy...

We are going to TDS for one day on a weekday in April (the week before Golden week). What time would you recommend arriving? I am seeing lots of posts of crazy rope drop crowds on social media and wouldn’t mind avoiding those IF it won’t have a very negative impact on our day. FWIW - we...

Can anyone recommend some favorite hotels in Tokyo? I am doing in April with my mom (in her 60s and very active). We will be doing one day at TDS but otherwise just exploring (shibuya area, shopping, the old fish market, etc.) I would love somewhere with a decent onsen that is central to...

A few more thoughts on Early Entry/Extended Evening Hours (we were there in late Aug.) Missing out on Early Entry didn’t seem like a huge deal. Yes, it’s nice to have, but depending what rides you are going for might not provide a huge advantage over regular rope drop. (To mitigate this on DHS...

We are a family of 5 and did a split stay last summer with 2 nights at BRV then a week at WBC. We did our main MK day when we were at Boulder Ridge for easy access, hit also commented to MK for the Halloween party from WBC. We love being “in the bubble”, and our freshly renovated room at BRV...

oh man…I remember asking this, but don’t remember what the filter type was, BUT if you need more you can call and get more as well as getting more coffee. They brought it up to our room pretty quick kilt when I called to request it

You can do a studio at Boulder Ridge with 5 - that what we did in August and it was great. Would also be useful for families wanting an extra sleeping surface

Now I’m wondering - will we not get SoCal tickets for all ages next year. Are they trying to do just kid discounts and nothing for adults? Our middle DD turns 10 in Jan, so if we could sneak in a visit before her b-day it might make sense, but otherwise it won’t help us much to only get 1 of 5...

I would look at Wilderness Lodge. Easy (stroller-friendly) boat ride to MK, great food options and a nicely themed pool. The main pool has a kids area with slides and the Boulder Ridge pool has a zero-entry area. You are also close to the fort if you want to pop over there (playground, pony...

Does anyone know what the aroma in the rooms is? We loved how our room at Boulder Ridge smelled when we got back after the parks, pool, etc.

I don’t know if you can request buildings, but in our opinion tower 3 has one of the least little-kid-friendly pools. DH took our 6 YO there and said it was stressful because she couldn’t touch anywhere in that pool. Several other pools had shallow ends and zero-entry and were much better for...

We enjoyed our stay in August. We had booked a 2 bedroom, but we’re upgraded to a 3 and it was huge! The room had everything we needed, and I had no issue getting supplies replenished (coffee, shampoo, laundry/dish detergent). We were in tower 3, the location wasn’t my favorite, but the...

We stayed at Coronado when our kids were 2, 6, and 8 and honestly the pool wasn’t great. The big slide is fun, but the main pool is “deep”(like 4 feet) which meant we were constantly hovering around the kids. The wading pool is meh - this pool is much better for older kids/solid swimmers We...

We went on Friday - our first MNSSHP! We arrived around 5-5:30 and the lines to get in were crazy, the mix in hour was also a bit chaotic, but after that it was wonderful. We did rides early, some trick or treating (and brought home a huge bag of candy), fireworks, the parade and the midnight...

Another option may be a 1BR at Saratoga Springs. For our upcoming trip prices for that were not that far off from doing a family suite at a value. There were some good rates through Disney or you could consider renting points. We’re a family of 5 too and opted to stay off site for the first...
