    Incredicoaster Question

    Yesterday, one side of the loading system was out of service for Incredicoaster. So, you were not seeing typical wait times. The Lightning Lane line was backed up to the top of the pier bridge. It was nuts. Lightning Lane line moved pretty quickly though!

    Looking for a hotel with a balcony.

    We’re checking out of the Westin today and had a room with a park view balcony. Incredible view of the Incredicoaster! The hotel is lovely, but I wouldn’t stay here again without figuring out a transportation option to get back and forth to the park.

    Disneyland Friends and Family List

    When you have the ticket open on your phone, they can use their phone’s camera to scan the ticket to add to their own account. They could scan the tickets for anyone in your party. Edit to add: if you are not physically together they can also type in the ticket number instead of scanning the...

    Fantasmic! Dining at the Blue Bayou.

    My kids are 9, 13, and 15. Simple eaters. And they all LOVE Blue Bayou for Fantasmic dinner. It pains my heart when they leave some food on their plates but at that point what’s it matter anymore. The seating for Fantasmic can’t be beat. It’s one of our favorite experiences to indulge in.

    5 day Ticket question~

    I thought this too until I went to Early Entry with my 4-day Park Hopper and it didn’t have it. This was August 2018 from LMTC. A manager ended up letting us in but we lost 15 minutes trying to figure it out. Fortunately, I called LMTC last week for pricing and the guy specifically told me the...

    Has anyone used ART to/from Hojo?

    I'm pretty sure the parking lot is further from the park entrance than the HOJO is. Unless you're going to ride the parking shuttle... walking from the HOJO is a much faster trip than driving in would be. We've stayed at the HOJO three times now. The second trip, my 6.5 YO got tired legs a few...

    Minecraft for xbox help needed

    We also have the 4GB version with Kinect, we've had it for 2 years now. No XBOX Gold membership (we tried it for 3 months or so and found it unnecessary for our needs). My kids play Minecraft, Disney Infinity, the Disneyland game and a variety of other games with no problems at all. It suits our...

    Budget backup battery for Apple products?

    I got this, but mine only has one USB port. It worked well for my purpose! I did want to point out that you don't necessarily need anything specific to apple products. You'll need the cord that you already own to plug in to the USB port. Many chargers now have the USB which lets you plug in a...

    Laptop for college???

    Agree! If you end up going Mac, Apple definitely has an education discount. Usually $100-$150 (I was able to get it as a teacher when I bought my MacBook at best buy)

    Silhouettes?

    Yes, from a profile photo. I got my three girls done. One was in the shop with me, the other two were back at the hotel with daddy and he texted me photos. He got a photo of the baby napping and that's what was used for hers! I also got one done for a friend who's youngest hadn't yet been born...

    How to surprise...

    On our last trip out kids were 2, 6, and 8. We told them about three weeks in advance. This let us do some fun countdowns and talking about what we all wanted to see and do. We had to leave for the airport at 6am and I don't remember it being a challenge getting them all to sleep the night...

    Is The Disneyland hotel worth the money?

    I love the DLH and would love to stay there again. But now that we have three kids, we much prefer the extra space of the kids suites at HOJO. The water play area there would be great for all of your kids too :)

    Hubby agreed....were going back...hotels?

    I will not be taking the sixth person so I did not continue to pursue, which is why I suggested contacting the hotel. To the OP, I'd definitely check out the larger rooms/combo rooms at Dessert Inn and Suites! We like hojo right now with our young children but I'm always tempted to try one of...

    Hubby agreed....were going back...hotels?

    I'd call and ask about this... I have three children and we are booked for a kids suite. I called to ask if we decided to bring along a sixth person, can we sleep six and I was told that's no problem and they could bring a roll-away if needed...

    Can you still add a day to Park Hoppers?

    They do :). It is the "upgrade to an annual pass" fee

Songs I have used: Imagine Dragons - Top of the world Pitbull/Christina - Feel this moment Holiday Road (can't remember artist) Owl City/Carly Rae Jepsen - Good Time Rascal Flatts - Life is a highway Toy Story - you've...

    Noooooooo!!! IASW just went down for our trip :-(

    We went through all of these same emotions last year. No Small World, no teacups, no Alice, no Fantasmic, no Splash Mountain, no Big Thunder, no Grizzly River Run, no Muppets, no Disney Junior show. It was cold, not sure it ever broke 60 degrees, it rained, the power went out during the rain and...

    Does anyone have the Fitbit?

    I read that while this can be an issue with the Flex, it is not an issue with the Force. Just FYI for everyone! :)
