I 2nd this suggestion. We were going to WDW every year (sometimes 2x per year) over the last ten years. I love it still, love the memories, the new things that happen each trip as our kids get older, the favorite foods, the atmosphere, rides, the sense of familiarity, etc. But a few years ago we...

Just got back from a week trip to DL/DCA & D23. We arrived at DL last Monday. Crowds were high but manageable Mon-Wed. We maxed out EMH and hit pools midday. I didn't find it too hot but that's because 80-90 degrees in CA is whole different world than 80-90 on the east coast (and WDW, our...

This is when I learned to appreciate WDW's new Fastpass sytem; having a few afternoon rides booked makes arrival day great! I assume there is no advanced FP booking at DL yet. I passed on the red eye flight from New England; yes, we'd get an extra park morning but we'd all be cranky zombies. So...

Thanks, that's what I thought, but hard to imagine possible heh. Fascinating!

Please excuse what may seem a dumb question, as we haven't been to DL in a couple yrs and prepping for next week's trip! But when you say you pulled three fast passes, did you pull 3 in a row before using the passes? Or you pulled one, rode, pulled 2nd, rode, etc... Just trying to wrap my...

oh, absolutely we will use EMH. I know what you mean about DL's EMH. Since we love the differences between DL/WDW's shared rides (we found DL's Space much smoother, if I recall) and we don't have Alice, and DL's Small World is a whole other experience...we have an agenda there, let alone the...

Yes, I read your post about that in another thread! That worked out perfectly! I'm sure I'll be dealing with bigger crowds (mid summer, DL anniversary, D23 folks...) so I will use every tool in the shed for sure. We are rope droppers from way back ha, so that's not a problem. Having to have our...

Hey guys, WDW/New Englander here. We went to DL 2 summers ago and had the best trip ever. We are coming again mid July. I was looking forward to the relaxing pace from last DL trip (something that WDW really doesn't have now with all the FP changes, advance prep, & upgrade options). But...

This reminded me of that same trip I posted about earlier in thread--the one horror--AUTOMATIC FLUSH. :scared: My 2 yr old daughter was fairly traumatized by them, quite sure she was going to get sucked into the bowels of Earth. We quickly learned the Post-It trick. My husband and I became these...

I seriously cannot wait until I am back at DL for a Matterhorn Macaroon. This, and other quick snacks/sandwiches can be found at Jolly Holiday. It's located kind of where you'd find Crystal Palace at WDW. I mention this since you said you guys are more into CS. I always found it quick and good...

I think Disney allows all ages in!:joker: Our first kid trip was when daughter was 2, son 3. That was *the* perfect magical memory time (for us as parents). They'd seen enough Disney films to recognize and be mesmerized by the characters. In fact, my daughter's expression when about to meet...

OP, I neglected to add in my post that I don't mean to discourage anyone from trying Matterhorn, especially if this is a 1st time or only DL trip. It's definitely a defining ride of DL, and only in DL. I didn't enjoy it, was thrilled when it ended, but am glad I tried it. Strangely enough, I...

WDW vet here too -- loved our 1st DL/DCA trip last summer & planning another! Considering your daughter's age, definitely hit Fantasyland. Alice is unique to DL and such a cute ride even my 10 yr old daughter loved it. And believe it or not, DL's IASW is kind of great! Past that is Toon Town...

WDW vet here - visited DL for 1st time last summer. Absolutely loved DL/DCA. I looked forward to trying Matterhorn but was sorely disappointed (somewhat literally lol). I'm not one to be all "ouchy" but Matterhorn is pretty rough. Specifically to my back & sides. There is no fast pass for this...

As Eastcoasters & regular WDW visitors we finally headed West last summer for combo CA/DL trip. I had been needing a change from WDW & had been (as you said) " yearning" to check out DL/DCA. It was,so worth the heat (jul/aug), the crowds (summer/60th celebration), & the learning curve. I say...

Patience is key; it can take months for a multiple cat household to work out agreements &levels of acceptance. I've always had multiples- used gradual exposure while giving cats turns in who gets full roaming privileges ( get eachothers scent). Feeding times & treats should be together but...

Heroes Putting out the Fire (used in films Cat People & Inglourious Basterds) Young Americans /Blue Jeans (tie) *** Under Pressure ***

I agree with others; Mulan most likely won't be prepared to speak in any Chinese because her character does not. However, my 2 kids have learned some Japanese via their Okinawan karate training. When in the Japan pavilion they speak Japanese with the cms & it's pretty cool! So definitely try...

We have cats and a German Shepherd. A pet sitter visits the cats twice a day and cleans their litter, puts out fresh food and water, and spends some time with the cats. I love this option for cats because cats (in general) get more stressed leaving their homes than dogs do. Our GSD goes to her...

I'm not a big make-up person anyway, but I definitely don't wear it during our Disney days. Except for a lip balm, if that counts. My husband is thrilled I don't fuss with hair, either, considering my hair is very long and wavy! So, pony tail and lip balm and we're good to go. We usually have...
