    Where do we want to stay while visiting Hollywood?

    I wouldn't recommend staying in Los Angeles. It's not necessary and there's few nice places to stay in the city. Santa Monica is a wonderful place to stay with lots to see in that area. It's a good 30 min drive from Hollywood/Beverly Hills at most times of the day though. If you wanted...

    Cookiedude

    Day 18 Plus - Going Home :sad: Sigh. Hometime. Get up at 5:30am and bravely run from the warm warm bed to the cold cold bathroom. Have an extra long, extra hot shower and think about the epic journey ahead. Drive 3 hrs down to LAX, fly 10 hours to Tokyo, hop off then straight back on...

    Cookiedude

    Man, jetlag is so much worse coming this way than going over. I am a wreck today. Got me a nice hot cup of green tea. Now where's my Graham cracker. Oh. That's right. We don't have them here. This country sucks. Why are they called Graham crackers? They're not crackers. They're half...

    Cookiedude

    Day 14 - Universal Studios On the drive up to LA it dawns on the kids that this would be the last theme park of the trip. Moaning all round :) Then they see Knotts out the window as we pass by, which doesn't help. Parking at Universal is easy because it is DEAD. Nobody around. We head...

    Residence Inn Maingate - anyone have pictures?

    We just stayed there for 15 nights and it was really great. The staff are so nice, housekeeping are just wonderful (:rotfl2: read my earlier trip reports to see why :rotfl2: ) and the whole place has a really relaxed vibe going on. I don't have any pictures for you, but I did find some good...

    Art shuttle change and warning

    Yeah I was a bit annoyed also that the 5-day ART pass has to be used consecutively. My fault I guess for not asking, but I assumed that it was just five days worth of ART use, and that it scanned each day as you used it. But as you say, the first time you use it the scanner imprints the start...

    Went to Disney Outlet in Fullerton today

    Yay! I'm glad you found some bargains. It was exactly why I posted it, because I was in the same frame of mind, not sure whether to go then quite glad that I did. I agree with tinkcollector, it's a good idea to have a look there before you buy your souvenirs from the parks, I found some of...

    Went to Disney Outlet in Fullerton today

    Yes they had some pins but not terribly discounted. Mostly from the 50th, I think. I saw some around $6-$7? I don't collect pins so I didn't pay a lot of attention.

    Went to Disney Outlet in Fullerton today

    Just in case anyone's wondering about whether to go or not ... They have loads of tees and sweatshirts, most very generic Disney or Disneyland logos, you wouldn't know they were old stock unless you hang out there every week :p Roughly around $15-20 off the in-park price, seemed like a good...
