    staying on-site & halloween Q?

    Thanks for your quick reply! Do you mean leave the entire resort (Disneyland Park and California Adventure), or just the 1 park (and we can still go on the rides at California Adventure)? Also, Are there things during the day the kids can do without the halloween ticket (e.g., the...

    staying on-site & halloween Q?

    If we stay on-site for Disneyland during Halloween, we have the park hopper pass but not the "Not So Very Scary Halloween" ticket, what are we excluded from, and how does that work? Thanks!

    Is Hoop De Doo Worth it?

    If you like Countrybear Jamboree and bluegrass music I think you would definitely like this. When we went with our parents w/o kids we all enjoyed it very much. The food was good and the show was very entertaining. We also liked the boat ride to get there. We also enjoyed the Dixie...

    Guarantee doesn"t meen guaranteed!

    I just wanted to add that if Disney could guarantee connecting rooms, it would add value because even 2 connecting rooms are typically more expensive than an off-site suite.

    Guarantee doesn"t meen guaranteed!

    To be honest, that's one of the reasons we didn't stay on-site. We've stayed on-site before, when we didn't have kids, and have had different rooms with family members (all adults). Now that we have 2 ECVs among our families, and two of the ECVs, which would've been in one room, wouldn't make...

    Need help! Going with kids and I am losing my mind!

    My 5 year old did not really touch her food at all on the kids menus. She ate very little during the week, and mainly subsisted on Mickey ice cream bars, cotton candy and Goofy candy. We gave her a specially cooked meal we made each morning and bought some of her favorite foods and snacks to...

    Cinderella Royal Table---a do or don't

    Maybe ask your Mom? We went with our daughters 5 and 8. It was a wonderful experience and we were all humming Cinderella's song for days. We all still talk about it. We went the last reservation for the night at 9:45 p.m. and stayed as long as we wanted. They did not rush us out, and we...

    Disney Candlelight Processional Tier Question

    That's good to know. We saw about 10 rows about, in front of us. We did see some white stickers in the crowd but didn't know what they were for. Googled VIP & Disney and read about Club 33, dont' know anything much more than that. We had good seats. We thought it was worth the price.

    Disney Candlelight Processional Tier Question

    I'm not sure, exactly how it worked. Here's what we observed. We were Tier II. There were 3 roped off sections, which looked like it corresponded to 3 Tiers. Some people who came in at the last minute, after others entered, & some even after the show started and were seated were sat in the...

    How many of you "tag" your kids with info in case they get lost?

    We didn't but there were more adults than kids on our trip. In retrospect sounds like a good idea. Depending when you go the crowds could be massive and people are from all over the world and everywhere in the parks. Our kids have never been in such a big crowd, so we kept them very close at...

    how much per day for food budget?

    We kind of back-ended in first the activities we wanted. We knew we wanted at least 2 of the special dinners on-site. So we called, made the dining reservations, and then knew what it would cost upfront (they are expensive but it's worth the splurge). We stayed at a condo, so our breakfasts...

    Kids' favorite things at Epcot (besides TT and Soarin)?

    I would agree - Epcot was suprisingly very enjoyable for my kids. Especially after the crazy hectic pace of getting everything in at the Magic Kingdom and other parks, it was very relaxing for everyone to take time in the exhibits. Across from Innovations there is a character greeting building...

    Disney Dumps Narnia

    Our daughters both loved the Narnia Movies. We are sorry they aren't going to make the third one, because that may mean the quality won't be as good. We saw the props from the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at at Hollywood Studios. Our 8 year old was inspired to read that book, and as a...

    Bummer Trip Report 12/27 - 1/2

    :( Sorry things didn't go so well for you. At least your outlook is positive and you had a first two good days. The stomache virus was going around a lot during that time.

    If you had to choose only one restaurant...

    If you have daughters (or have dreamed of being royalty yourself) Cinderella's Royal Table is the best imo.

    Nine Dragons Restaurant reopening soon?

    We liked the food. For dessert, the Banana Cheesecake Egg Roll that is drizzeled with caramel sauce and served with a scoop of ice cream we liked the best of all the desserts. Never had that anywhere else before. We thought it was the yummiest of all the desserts (we each got different ones).

    Is Hollywood Studios worth it?

    Yes, I think it would be worth it if you knew that Little Mermaid would be open. Especially if the children like Ariel, my 5 year old (just turned 5 when we went) has loved Ariel since she was 2 (she really likes the fin - also LM toys including sea creatures and dolphins make good bath toys)...

    Is Hollywood Studios worth it?

    We went between Christmas and New Years (just turned 5 and just turned 8). We loved Little Mermaid, Back lot studio tour, and Playhouse Disney. Both our kids also liked a lot the Block Party Bash (if they get up front the ones that are walking, maybe the 4 year old if she's not shy might...

    Is the stomach virus still going around in WDW??

    Saw 1 small child throw up in line while waiting for Nemo ride. We took precautions, none of us got sick fortunately. Went peak season Christmas and beyond. We also cooked/ate our own food sometimes though so it wasn't exclusively Disney food (prior rumor had been it might have limited to a...
