    Bunk Bed Room Options?

    Hi - We just returned from a stay at the Staybridge Suites at the Convention Center. We had one of the Family Suites that had a Double Queen with a family room with a sofa sleeper and bunk beds. It was very clean. Very comfortable. The bathroom separates the room with the double beds from the...

    New Years Trip

    Thanks. We aren't planning to go into the parks on NYE - our APs are blocked that day. What I am trying to decide between is 1) Stay at Holiday Inn & Suites for 4 nights starting NYE. or 2) Stay at Paradise Pier for 3 nights starting NYD. HI is less expensive for 4 nights ($700) vs PP...

    New Years Trip

    Hi - My son and I got annual passes this year. I am in northern CA and he goes to school in San Diego. We got APs this fall when we moved him back to school. He graduates this year so I am taking advantage of any opportunity I can where he is still willing to hang out with mom at Disneyland...

    How are waits at Universal now?

    How will crowds be this Monday? My son and I went on a weekday this past summer and had a Front of Line pass. We didn't really use it in the morning but used it in the afternoon for the studio tour and riding everything a second time. Same son and my husband are going on Monday. I kind...

    Hi - We are planning a last minute trip for mid-December. I am thinking of buying annual passes as we have a chance to come back a couple times during the year. I am trying to find information on AP rates for either the Grand CA or the DL Hotel. I didn't get home early enough to call...

    How crazy are the crowds Christmas week?

    I was just jumping on to post about our recent quick trip. We've never gone during Christmas - we usually go in August when my son has time off from his training. We went for a quick trip last week and I'm so glad we did. The park was beautiful. You just have to go with the expectations...

    Traveling from San Diego next week

    First, I love this board! I always get so much good info! Second, my son and I will be at Disneyland Monday and Tuesday, thanks in part to the advice from fellow posters. He's a student athlete at UCSD and I'm going down this weekend to meet up with him and travel back home once he's done...

    Recent deals on A la carte tickets?

    For folks with kids in college, check to see if the school offers discounts. My son just bought two Park Hoppers from the box office at his So Cal school and saved us about $30 per ticket over what we would have paid through the other discount sources I checked (AAA, Costco, GetAwayToday, etc)...

    LAX vs. SNA?

    Agreed with all the other posts - SNA is much easier than LAX. It is sometimes a bit more expensive than LAX but worth the extra for the convenience.

    Is this Crazy (can we do it??)

    Thanks! We are going to do it! He's done at 10 am on Monday so we'll head up to Disney around 11. I got a good deal at the Fairfield Inn which is a short walk so we're set. I also found out that he can buy discounted 2 day hoppers through the school so that is a nice bonus! I've...

    Is this Crazy (can we do it??)

    Thanks for the input! I think we may do it assuming I can get a hotel! My son is a backstroker. But, also good at Fly and IM.

    Just Back!

    Hi - I really wasn't in the mood for a Disney trip this summer but, long story short, I lost the flip of the coin. So, I was off to 4 nights/5 days at DL/CA. We did it on short notice. I wish I'd planned ahead and gotten the specials at the onsite hotels. (But, I've let that go...LOL)...

    Anaheim Convention Center and Hotel Choice

    Hi - I just got back from a trip with my sons and we stayed at the Park Sheraton which I think is right next to the convention center. It was farther from the park than we've stayed in the past but I was quite pleased. We did a GetAway package that included the room, parking, 5 day park...

    The Dobies are back--Some Observations

    Ditto to all of your comments. We (me and my two sons - 14 & 18) just got back. We were there Friday - Monday. Loved Indiana Jones as usual. I usually skip Matterhorn and let the boys go solo but I did it this time and loved it! Soaring is still my favorite but you are right that they need to...
