I haven't been on disboards for eons... but maybe?? trying to plan a trip for this summer and hoping someone can help with a ticket dilemma...the related posts I found in a search are all at least a year old. We have a set of 4 tickets (5-day, Max Pass, 1-park-per day) that we bought for a...

We have just moved our trip to June from April, following the Dapper Days change, and thinking things will be in better shape by then anyway. Haven't re-booked our hotel yet because I'm hoping to get the Dapper Day discount again, but will likely stay and GCH, 6/17-6/21. Had to cancel all our...

Dapper Day weekend has now been moved to June (http://dapperday.com/summer-2020-disneyland-ca?mc_cid=6b2f0ac4cf&mc_eid=2697be93f1) so we are moving our trip to those dates as well, since that was one of the main reasons we picked these dates. Hope everyone whose trip is impacted is able to...

I've never had any trouble bringing my backpack with me on rides, and sometimes it's pretty bulky! But even on the roller coasters it fits fine underneath my feet. I'd rather have the stuff with me that I know I'm likely to need, rather than be wasting time trying to hunt it down in the park...

We took my oldest for the first time when she was 4yo. We stayed 9 nights, and never left Disney. We certainly did not feel like we had "extra" time, and would have easily made use of a few more days. I really don't see the advantage of leaving Disney to go to Sea World. We like Sea World (and...

I didn't actually know him because it happened a year before I was born, but my uncle was a police officer killed in the line of duty - shot at close range by the driver of a stolen car that he pulled over. The guy was originally sentenced to death, but of course it underwent many appeals...

It may depend a bit on what his idea of "relaxing morning" is. If he really just wants to sleep in, then getting DS out of there as quickly and quietly as possible to head to a park is probably best, so that DH can actually sleep. But if he was picturing all 3 of you lounging around the resort...

Gosh I feel like we splurge on everything these days, a product of getting older I guess. The main ones that come to mind: Outdoor adventure gear - whether it's a new mountain bike or skis, or a $90 pair of snow gloves for 9yo DS (last weekend, lol!), we don't buy cheap when it comes to our...

We've had a few over the years. OP, 4yo is the absolute worst, so I feel your pain! Both of mine were extremely difficult at that age. I think that with time, we start to remember the good parts of the trip, and are more easily able to overlook the bad. But no one says it's easy. The worst of...

I guess I have had the opposite experience- as I feel like it was more common when I was growing up (80s/90s) for travel and vacations to involve large, extended families. I only remember a couple of vacations in my childhood that didn't involve my grandparents, and usually and aunt/uncle as...

She did feed us a little more than what she herself would eat, but still not nearly as varied a menu as what I suspect most families get. Our dinners mostly rotated between spaghetti, tacos, hamburgers, pancakes, and hot dogs. I was still a pretty finicky eater by the time I went to college, as...

This is my mom! She will only eat pancakes, mac&cheese, mashed potatoes, or a plain hamburger. I understand the idea of not judging what someone else eats, but the unfortunate reality is that those choices DO become a burden for other people. There are literally 3 restaurants that she will eat...

I think when it's your own kids who can't come with you for whatever reason, that bringing back a souvenir is a fun and appropriate way to show you were thinking of them. I agree with several others that I would make it more Hawaii/Beach themed, not Disney. I do think it's a little weird and...

Not intentionally, but on more than one occasion, as I was letting my eyes wander around the room while thinking during a test (it's something I do instinctively, helps me think), I happened to see an answer on the paper of someone sitting near me. It's hard to avoid when you have multiple...

What is: 1) The first thing you will do when you get to Disneyland? We'll be arriving mid/late morning, and probably head to DCA, but maybe get some lunch at the resort (GCH) first. 2) The food, snack, treat, or beverage you're most looking forward to? This will sound silly, but I always look...

I know a lot of people like PH at DL because the parks are so close together and it's easier to go between them. However, you don't NEED them at DL anymore than you do at WDW. We have done single-park-per-day tickets both times we have gone, and will likely do that for our trip this spring as...

We stayed at YC many years ago and had a daybed, which my son slept on. He was small at the time, but I seem to remember it being a good sized bed. We struggle with the kids not wanting to share a bed as well. On our most recent trip, we stayed at the Wyndham in Disney Springs and were able to...

I don't know many 10 year old who would willingly sit in a stroller, I think most would be mortified by that age. I know mine would, anyway. They could run circles around me all day long by the time they were 5/6 years old. If anyone needs a stroller, it's ME, lol! For actual numbers... DD's...

We use them at our ski condo in the mountains. We keep the thermostat in the high 60's, but our bed is right by 2 very drafty windows, and there is always a cool air flow coming in. The heated blanket makes it bearable. One day we'll replace the windows and may not need the electric blanket, but...

I went to WDW when I was 6.5 months pregnant with DS. I did the same as some others on here have mentioned - basically avoided anything with a height requirement, with the exception of Soarin, as it is very gentle. I also did ride the Safari - the CM at the loading area was not very happy about...
