I can't speak for that particular store but Yankee have changed the packaging of the "tart" to the shape of a jar and I think they call them "melts" now. I hope that helps :)

We were there the last two weeks of March and first week of April this year. We were overwhelmed by how busy it was. The last two weeks of March are spring break for Americans coinciding with Flower and Garden/Mardi Gra. It them seemed the Americans went home and the Brits arrived. One day MK...

When we went in march I too had left over travellers cheques from 2009 and found a few places refusing them, Jo-Anns (craft store), PINK at Florida Mall and a couple of others. Thankfully I had a credit card but it was quite frustrating. However the parks and Target/WallMart all happily took...

All the grocery stores sell Crystal Light which is a powder version and my kids love it! I agree that you should stay away from Kool-aide as it makes my kids bounce as well (but they love it). There is also load of different flavors of water you can get. A burst container of squash isn't...

Thank you everyone. As it's allowed, I will take it as I plan on packing it in a suitcase with nappies and shower gel etc so if it spilled it wouldn't be the end of the world. I can't face spending $7 on a bottle of squash :)

Hello, my name is Emma and I've mostly lurked and occasionally posted here over the past few years. I especially like reading trip reports on the lead up to my own holiday, so I thought I'd give it a try myself this time! I'm yet to fathom photo adding so this will sadly just be text for the...

Hello all, I know there was a similar thread here recently about what is and is not acceptable to take in to the US but the topic of fruit squash (cordial) didn't come up. My children aren't fans of drinking just plain water and I don't want them living on fizzy drinks for 3 weeks. I planned...

I thought I'd quickly pop back to recommend a restaurant in Santa Barbara in case you stop by there. Its called the Santa Barbara Shellfish Company. Its on the pier and I had the best food I've EVER eaten there :)

I toured a similar route in 2006, so quite some time ago but would suggest looking at the Peach Tree Inn in San Lois Obispo and the Candy Cane Inn which is walking distance from the entrance of Disney Land. Both of which really stand out in my memory despite 7 years having past and staying at...

Hello, I've never seen The Rocky Horror Show so your second choice is a bit lost on me. Honestly, if I saw someone dressed in pjs for the party is think it was a slumber party theme, not a bad thing but perhaps not what you're after? If you've got a year I'd plump for the Haunted Mansion costume :)

I've had the Brits guide several times in the past and have liked it's style and layout. I'm looking to buy a new one in preparation for our trip next year so I'll be interested in peoples feedback :)

Thanks again! Even the WDW reccomendations were fun to read. I thought I'd also update you incase anyone can benifit in future...we wondered around the Disney Land hotel at around 6.30 and my husband went off exploring and discovered Inventions closed but not cordoned off so we sat by the big...

Thank you for your points of view. The points about WDW are very true but I haven't been since 2011 so the specific things you mention, Tree of life etc weren't so obvious then. Perhaps the cold grey light of a January day in Paris is a little less sympathetic than the Floridian sunshine :)...

I'd like to start this post by saying I don't wish to offend or upset anyone. By nature of us being here we obviously love all things Disney, I'm just interested in people's views and opinions. Having visited WDW many times and a trip to DLC I was very surprised by the poor condition of some...

Thanks everyone. I'm more accustomed to Disney World so I thought there may be lots of viewing opportunities from afar, not to worry :)

Hi, We will arrive at DLP on Wednesday afternoon but don't have park tickets until Thursday so I was wondering if its possible to view the fireworks from another vantage point on the property? If so where is the best place for this? Many thanks :)

Hello, I remember some time ago reading about the release of mini versions of the tradition style mouse ears hats that Disney sell at their parks. Has anyone come across them for sale at DLP? Many thanks :(

Thank you for all the great advise. Although when I looked at park opening for the 31st there didn't seem to be an EMH am I wrong, is there one every day?

I will be travelling with my family to DLP at the end of the month. We have one day travel, a night at Sequoia and the a day at the parks the following day. Initially as recommended on here I was confident we'd spend our entire day in the Magic Kingdom but since doing a bit more research I've...

Hello, I usually visit the UK WDW boards as I have been visiting the world for over 20 years now but our first trip to DLP will be in January. It will be me, my husband, our three year old and our one year old. We will arrive at about 3pm on the first day and check in to the sequoia hotel and...
