    Disneyland Tips and Magical Moments

    I've had exactly the same experience. Before my first trip to DL I wondered how on earth it could compare to WDW. Once I visited, I was hooked! I too live out west and we don't fly to MCO often.

    Indiana Jones Currently Under Refurb??

    Hopefully it's open for you today. I was down Monday thru Thursday while we were there. We were in DL the same week in 2016 and it was also closed then, so I think this is the regular schedule for refurb.

    First Thing You Do/Ride in Each Park?

    We just got back last night. This trip was just me and my youngest meeting one of my best friends there. It was all about him so we let him choose and he always picks "Jack's House", his name for Haunted Mansion. That's usually followed by Splash, Pirates, BTMRR, and Jungle Cruise. We need...

    I didn't even think about them being open at breakfast. YUM!

    River Belle Terrace AND Plaza Inn Down for Refurbishment?

    I've been having the same issue. As Figment mentioned, you can book dates up to October 31 right now, but not past that. I'm trying to book November 7 or 8. Hopefully it will come up soon!

    Blender recs for smoothies, without spending a lot of $$$$

    We have a Ninja Kitchen system blender with the single serve blending cups and it makes great smoothies. I prefer the single serve cups to the large jar because they blend more smoothly. If I were getting one today I'd get the Nutri Ninja.

    Best vacuum for hardwood floors?

    If you already have an upright that works well for carpet then I wouldn't invest in another upright. Canister vacs work much better on hard floors and you don't need an expensive one. This one is inexpensive, highly rated and comes highly recommended on the Flooring forum on GardenWeb...

    Kids shoes

    The kids Skechers are not made nearly as well as the adult shoes. I had the exact same issue as the previous poster with several pairs of boys' Skechers. My DS is 9 but this was almost 2 years ago.

    Kids shoes

    Amazon - I have Amazon Prime and they have free shipping and returns on shoes so I often buy shoes for all 3 kids there. A couple of months ago I got them each a pair of Keen sneakers for $33 TOTAL. Today they have 20% off a $50 purchase of certain kids' shoes. I already had one pair in my...

    Debt Dumpers - 2014

    I don't post on this thread regularly but I wanted to share some great news with people who would appreciate it. We went down to 1 income (well, 1 and 1/3 income since I still freelance) when our 3rd child was born 2 years a ago but at the same time we had to buy a new car for me and we had to...

    Check your Target statements this month. (new issue)

    I think what the OP is trying to say is that the "Last Statement Balance" was $45 (meaning the amount she charged up until the day the last statement closed) but the current balance was $125 ( she had charged an additional $80 since that statement closed) so she paid all of the charges from the...

    BOB or Ergo?

    There is no way *I* would take a 3 year old to WDW without a stroller. We took our kids to DL when they were newly 6 and about to turn 3 and it would have been a disaster for us without the stroller. DD was still napping at the time so she napped in the stroller. We had an inline double (Phil...

    Trip Insurance

    I compared plans on Insuremytrip.com and went with a Travel Guard plan for our 2011 cruise and WDW trip. We had to cancel the day before because of serious pregnancy complications and we got back all of our non refundable expenses with no hassle.

    Little Dress Up Shop dresses?

    We have a BUNCH of the dresses from Little Dress Up Shop and they are very lightweight. They are really soft and not at all scratchy like some of the Disney parks dresses. We LOVE them. The company that makes them is local to me and has a warehouse sale 2x a year so we have gotten many of them...

    Which City stroller has most storage?

    The City Elite will have the most storage out of the ones you listed. I have a set of Think King stroller hooks that I use to hang my diaper bag so that we have the stroller basket free for jackets and things we buy in the parks.

    Bring baby? Leave baby at home?

    Our 3 kids are now about to turn 9, 5.5 and 21 months. We went to Disneyland last year for Thanksgiving when the baby was 11 months old and it went really well - because he wasn't totally mobile yet and was happy to stay in the stroller. It would be much more difficult to take him at this age...

    Choosing a Date? Day after Easter or late May?

    I totally agree with FlightlessDuck. I would avoid Easter week if at all possible.

    At what age do you remember your first Disney trip?

    I was 17 when I went for the first time. It was my senior class trip and we stayed at Caribbean Beach Resort. I remember every minute and it hooked me forever. DD was 2.75 on our first trip to Disneyland and she remembers none of it. DS was turning 6 and he remembers it well. We went again...

    Stroller question

    I'm in this camp as well. We have a 5 year old and a 20 month old, as well as an 8 year old who walks all the time. When we split up the baby stays with the stroller and the 5 year old just walks. The only time she really rode in the stroller was when we were walking to and from the parks at...

    Stroller question

    I would look at the City Mini GT or the Baby Jogger city Series Double if either of those is an option. With 2 kids of such disparate weights I think the regular City Mini will be difficult to push. The GT has larger, rubber tires and the City Series double is a larger jogger that maneuvers...
