    What's considered adult/child for Goofy's Kitchen??

    When I was there, I told them that my dd was 10, and the staff member said that she was 9 for the day :). I didn't agrue.

    Question for those who have stayed at both DLR and GCH

    I would try the DLH. We were there in August. My kids are 6 & 12. My older one likes the GCH more due to the walk but my 6 year old loved the pool and DLH so much. And the rooms are quite big (assuming you are all sharing). It is a farther walk but it is nice through DTD. There wasn't a bunk...

    Discounts for end of August?

    I stayed at the GCH from Aug 28- Sep 2/2010 and had a 40% discount. The discount period started around Aug 20, IIRC.

    Radiator Springs Racers: Latest Wait Times?

    They don't expire within the day. We used fastpasses that were at 8:45am at 8:00pm because we wanted to ride at night.

    at disneyland now

    Thanks for your report. We were at Universal studios last week and were surprised how much we loved it. Jurassic Park was my 6 year old dd's favourite ride and I kept sending dh with her to ride it :rotfl2:. Good to here about the low crowds. We were at DLR from the14-19 and rides were...

    Disneyland to Disneyland Hotel

    I'd say 5 minutes would be at a jog, especially given Goofy's location relative to the entrance to downtown Disney. From the DL exit, I would estimate 10-15 minutes, but I've never timed it. We've had dinner there twice and we all enjoyed the food and character interaction, the Mad Hatter in...

    What is Your Preferred Transportation from the Airport?

    When I went in August, car rental was the same price from either airport. We got the same price with a flight into SNA and out of LAX. So great getting a car at SNA. The rental place is next to the baggage, the cars a short walk away - no shuttle required. IIRC, our SUV rental was $488 + tax for...

    Rsr fp

    Yes, it is possible. In fact, dh & I rode, then got 2 sets of FPs well before they ran out. We needed to get 4 as we let the kids sleep in. We did wide right and were in the first car. We pulled the FPs at about 8:04 with a return time of 8:45, then got back in line and timed it (by going...

    Summer Room Rates

    This year we were there Aug 14-19. The rate was $400 at the DLR, but I saw it on expedia sometimes for $365. The rate at GCH was $485. We chose the DLR. I didn't look at PP but I think it was around $300? No discounts to be found! But a summer trip is really great, IMO. We also stayed in...

    How early does breakfast start at the hotels

    The coffee shop at DLH was open before 6:30, so I'm guessing 6.

    Another "where should we stay" question!

    I don't think you will be disappointed. We were there last week. Rooms are big, my kids loved the pool and EMH was so good. We rode TS three times after RSR with no wait at all.

    DLH Worth $800 More?

    If you are going to spend time at the Hotel, than it is. We were at DLH last week and my kids spent more time in the hotel/pool than the parks. I'm sure you could get a room do that you could see the fireworks. That is how we watched them. We loved our stay there and will likely not stay off...

    What to do with extra day in LA?

    I am in LA right now staying next door to the Hilton at Universal. Our flight also leaves at 7. Pretty convenient location for Universal, Hollywood, etc. We had a nice dinner last night at Citywalk. Rope drop at universal today and sightseeing later.

    Location of Fast Pass machine for Radiator Springs Racers

    You can line up before 8. It is beyond rope drop for non EMHers. But distribution doesn't start till 8. We lined up around 7:30 today and got passes at 8:02. Rerun time 8:45.

    Who is going in august/when/where

    We were originally booked offsite but I cut the budget elsewhere to switch to the DLH. FWIW - if you are at DCA for rope drop you will likely get a FP for RSR. We lined up for FP's after 8 and got them with a return time of 3:30. And we got surprise FPs for GRR which we are going to use in a bit.

    Who is going in august/when/where

    It's hot! We did EMH and were in the pool by 11. Used wide right and was #3 in line for rsr. Best advice ever for this trip.

    The Cars Land Wide Right Technique: How to be one of the first 20 people on RSR w/MM

    We did this today, and we werewe're 3rd & 4th in line. In the 1st car. Bad thing that our racing car was empty. We got to the main gates at about 6:50 and the line was about 20-25 people deep.

    DLH question

    I'm at DLH right now. Fridge and 1cup coffee maker. No pot, just paper cups. Haven't used it, we get coffee at the coffee shop downstairs.

    Who is going in august/when/where

    We have also checked into DLH, kids love it. I do miss having a balcony, but room is a good size. The lighted headboard us really something. Went for dinner at Goofy's. Met the Mad Hatter and Aladdin, but no princesses. Hoping to be up for EE tomorrow. Made a quick trip to Target for fruit...
