    Dining in December

    As always a prompt and helpful response, thank you so much Karin1984. Yes I do take many reviews with a pinch of salt - figured I'd get more helpful answers here!

    Dining in December

    Me again. There seems to be a paucity of more recent reviews of dining options, no doubt due to Covid (or I am looking in the wrong place) the last few years, on any sites other than TA (which are pretty much all negative). I am wondering (a) given parks close early in winter, staying onsite, if...

    The Disneyland Hotel FAQ & Information Thread

    I would think they are taking a chance on China for Shanghai DL given they still have a Covid zero policy and at the blink of an eye lock down entire suburbs or housing blocks (as in no one can go out their door). Only residents or reunion or work visa holders can get in atm, no tourists, and...

    Premium Pass - either type, how necessary is it?

    I've been a long while off the boards but now it looks like we will have two days in DLP (yaay!) around 18 and 19 December. I know - it will be busy. Our last visit was way back in 2013 and it was quiet. In the new world of option of paid access to rides, how essential will be the purchase of a...

    Its a Hop, Skip and Jump to Kangaroo Island - Retrospective TR (updated 5/1)

    kimmar067 interesting thought - where was first valley? Sorry for jumping in PIO. The answer is boring. Google tells us the name is derived from being the next valley north of Rapid Bay, the initial camp on South Australian mainland of Colonel William Light. Just for you here is a pic of a...

    Heading south in Aus - Another retrospective TR

    Late afternoon stroll As the weather cleared in the late afternoon I went for a wander to the reserve behind the caravan park. Tjilbruke Monument commemorates the Tjilbruki dreaming and the Kaurna Aborigines. It represents the head, body and haunches of Tjilbruke with the stone lying across...

    Day 8 Ever Popular Glenelg The weather was marginally better this morning but still squally rain. We headed the few km along the coast to Glenelg late morning. It was very quiet. Perhaps it was our mood, or the weather, but we were underwhelmed unlike most visitors. The, what appeared to be...

    Come out, come out of Lurk-dom!

    It was an amazing time. I can strongly recommend it - probs bore you with some pics at some point. Hearing underwater whale song, almost colliding with a huge octopus, lots of coloured coral and fish, some turtle encounters (but less than I was hoping for), and cute fuzzy baby birds are the...

    Contemplating Death and the After Life The theme After life had some of the most challenging and interesting conjunction of exhibits where I appreciated the curator's intent a bit better. 'The exact dimensions of staying behind' by Ricky Swallow, 2004-5. A horseman (Boeotian) from 6th...

    A Controversial Art Gallery Despite that blue sky, it teemed down again so the rest of the afternoon was a toss up between the Museum and the Art Gallery. The Art Gallery won. I had read that the new curator had set the galleries up by themes mixing styles, objects and eras, which had attracted...

    Day 6 Into Adelaide Our next stop for the morning was Seppetsfield, a very large commercial and well known winery. I tried some nice wines here but when a large tour group arrived I changed my mind about taking the heritage tour, and DH wasn't interested, and we moved on. We didn't go in to...
