The Eureka Springs Health Club is NOT a spa. They may have massage therapy, but this is not the same as a full service spa. If there is a place that has the ability to give spa pedicures and manicures and facials, then the Disney staff we asked in downtown Disney didn't know about it. I think a...

Thanks to all for appreciating that we are all individuals with our own opinions. I don't expect everyone to agree with mine. Boards like this are intended for "opinions" and discouraging differing opinions detracts from the value of the boards. Isn't the Internet a wonderful thing! It is the...

DL and the Magic Kingdom are very close to being alike and I like DL better, however, if you want multiple theme parks in one visit, WDW is a better choice in my opinion. DCA has a sprinkle of MGM, a sprinkle of Animal Kingdom, ala California, and Paradise Pier, which to me is very much like a 6...

My point is that the current Disney management misses the mark on what makes Disney theme parks special. DCA is no better than 6 flags and I won't ride their main attraction either! I don't have to ride the ride to know that I don't like the atmosphere of the park. The rides I like at DL are...

When you go to DCA, I would run to the fast pass machine for California Soarin'. Then plan to do whatever else your kids want to do. They may not be disappointed with Paradise Pier, since they are too young to understand what Disney did for amusement parks. The first time I went to WDW, back...

It was good to see Disneyland again! Let me start with the synopsis of likes and dislikes from our trip and then expand so that those with shorter attention spans (like me) can still stand to read this! Here are the special likes from this trip: Liked the Disneyland hotel beds -- these seemed...

You're referring to the theater type, although I really loved that Lion King show -- thought it was terrific and what a great theater in terms of being able to see wherever you sit! Although in January, the open air theater isn't as appealing. Yes, I've been to the LaughingPlace site and I saw...

but you mentioned MGM. Is there an MGM in CA now? I wasn't aware of that! I guess this is what happens when you go away for a few years! LOL :D Toodles WDW 79, 83, 99 DL 91, 92, 93, 95

It's really DL vs Magic Kingdom. If you are used to going to the Magic Kingdom, DL will be very similar, but yes, I agree with most the folks here that it is the better version, save for the castle (imho). I didn't have time to read all the posts so I don't know whether anyone else mentioned...

Thanks for your help! I'm a bit confused about the 3 day regular ticket since it costs more and seems to have fewer features. Obviously, flex is the way to go! Toodles WDW 79, 83, 99 DL 91, 92, 93, 95

I was looking at tickets and I'm confused -- what is the difference between a 3 day ticket and a 3 day flex ticket? Is it just that the flex tickets have to be used within 5 days of the first use? <IMG SRC="/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif" alt="confused"> Thanks for your help! Toodles...

Rajah, thanks for the helpful input. I've heard some implied statements about Fantasmic at DL. The one at WDW gets mixed reviews so it is good to hear someone say the DL show is better. The night we scheduled to go at WDW we decided not to, since we had been to so many Christmas shows and were...

I am wondering what shows anyone might recommend while at DL? Oddly enough, in all my other visits, I have never watched any of the shows! Except the Horseshoe Revue, Bear Country Jamborree -- the housed attractions. I was always put off by large crowds waiting on the lawns hours before...

Is money an issue, like it is for most of us? Disneyland should be less expensive, depending on where you live and how much the airfare is, but you can still get close-in reasonably priced hotels at DL and it's easier to get to outside of park restaurants. For young kids, DL is fine. Most young...

I haven't seen any descriptions of the rides and which ones are open. I was disappointed to learn that Space Mountain is closed for our visit. Is there a good replacement there? Anything similar to the Rockin'roller coaster? Toodles WDW 79, 83, 99 DL 91, 92, 93, 95

Arriving on the 25th and leaving on the 31st. Unfortunately, I'm also attending a business conference, but the conference has a preview night for DCA on the 27th. I hope it doesn't rain! Toodles WDW 79, 83, 99 DL 91, 92, 93, 95

That's what I like about it. You feel like you are outside on a patio at night by a river, sans mosquitoes! It does not photograph well because of this. However, it really simulates this well and it feels weird when you walk back out into the bright sun and crowds(if you go at lunch time)...

Does this apply to ticket prices for DL or only WDW? Thanks! Toodles WDW 79, 83, 99 DL 91, 92, 93, 95

How much will the cab fare be from Orange County to the DH? I know there are shuttles, but don't they charge per person, whereas we can share a cab for a single price? Plus if you take a shuttle, I assume there will be many stops at other hotels. We get in pretty late at night and I'm thinking...
