    What's quite cheap but feels like a rip off?

    Our HOA dues. They're only about a dollar per day, and they help maintain a pool we could swim in if we ever bothered to go pick up our updated pool key. Supposedly they also help the neighborhood "look nice" and "increase the value of our property" too. But I'd rather just keep my $1/day. To be...

    Ride of the Resistance still difficult to get in Sept?

    We had only one DL start day (not counting our arrival day, which was mid-afternoon) out of our 5 day hoppers the 2nd week of August. We rode ROTR twice -- we got the 7AM drop on our DL start day, and picked up a noon drop another day. I'm sure we could have ridden a third time if I hadn't...

    Help me with my fall 2022 trip planning..

    This month's trip (our first to DLR rather than WDW) was the first time I ended up completely ambivalent on the hopper. We did hop the last 2 days, next to the last day both for a BG and for an ADR. But we could have done without it. Actually, the BGs would be my main reason to hop -- except...

    Car Service from LAX to Disneyland?

    We used Karmel (booked with our package) for SNA to CI&S and then CI&S to LAX. Our experience was overall pretty good. I had to call Karmel at SNA, but their driver then called me back and was right there. The only slight issue was that he turned the wrong way onto Harbor initially (I didn't...

    Do the Camelot and the Castle Inn and suites..

    We were on the 3rd floor at Castle Inn and used it most of the time. ETA: I kept telling myself I should just take the stairs, but my feet usually won the argument.

    Just booked a trip to DL….and immediately regret it 😩

    I think it's too soon to fall into regret over your upcoming trip. There's still a pandemic. So much can change overnight. Schools still will be in session in one form or another, so crowds might not be as bad as you expect. Or, they might be. I just have given up on having set expectations...

    Questions re: Current Dining Details

    I wish I had counted tables for you, but I didn't. We ate at BB last week, and it didn't "feel" overcrowded or tight to me at all. It was our first DLR trip, though, so I can't compare it to pre-COVID or early reopening times, all I can say is spacing felt reasonable to me. Also, you mentioned...

    Oga’s Cantina … Info and my experience

    We were at Oga's last week. When we arrived, I mentioned to the cast member outside that I'd appreciate having a seat if possible (I knew there are a lot of standing only tables), and she said no problem (and I mentally prepared to wait a while). Then a couple of other groups plus mine were...

    How far ahead are you on your bills?

    Mine was in the late 80s, so... We could still send checks for ours, now, but I prefer to schedule payments online. Thankfully our mortgage terms allow for extra amounts to go to the principal, which is what we want. But the old method was nice, too, b/c in addition to identifying which payment...

    We’re off to see the Magic! TR

    Your daughter's poses are so cute! Get that kid into children's theatre, if she isn't already. I'll bet she'd have a ball on stage!

    You made me lol too! We're staying offsite, but when the discounts finally came out I seriously considered completely switching. I originally had booked 3 nights offsite and 1 at PPH, but it made more sense to do the 4 nights offsite, especially after applying a 4th night free promo. For a while...

    Questions & Tips please for our first (and likely only) California Trip!

    Oops never mind my accidental post that was here. I was getting my villas/mansions mixed up and replied when I should have just gone to get sleep.

    Masks back at DL starting July 30

    Yes, and actually I meant KF94, but either way, that's good to hear. I ordered a few more of those disposables. We also have cloth masks, so between the new ones and the cloth ones, we should manage. I feel a bit better with the KF94 though.

    Masks back at DL starting July 30

    Okay, my dumb question... The masks must "be made with at least 2 layers of breathable material". Now I've forgotten a lot of the mask details I learned last year. I know there are sites that will get into details of the layers of each kind & I guess I'll be wading though the details again...

    Is there an emergency exit on the skyliner? Where?

    I agree, opening from the inside is *not* something that needs to be easy to do maliciously, or unintentionally. Lol about the water depth. I had wondered about that. Obviously one sure way to prevent most drownings in my worst case scenario of a gondola ending up in the lake would be to have...

    A little stressed about flights

    I don't know anything about Southwest, but 3/4 of our Delta flights got changed, though not by over an hour like yours. I think it happens to all airlines even during regular times, but is happening more now as so much has been uncertain and travel patterns have changed quite a bit.

    Has anyone had success booking dining? I mean......for the love of churros!

    The Blue Bayou calendar is greyed out after 9/25. So it's a good thing you got some extra sleep. :) ETA so are LL and Oga's -- My math shows that's due to the 60 day limit, but I'm pretty tired right now so could be off on that.

    Yeah, we have a late flight out, so same dilemma. Now I'm leaning toward staying late the night before & skipping RD. Really, we "ought" to be tired of the parks by then, haha.

    I'm happy for those who can take advantage of this! My and DD's last day is the 14th, which of course means we have to be packed and ready to check out in the morning. Lousy timing for an extra hour for us lol. We might do it anyhow. Who needs sleep?
