    Traffic timing from Santa Monica to DLR

    After checking with google and seeing advice here, it looks like we'll be better off getting to the pier early and having lunch in time to leave before 1PM to get back to downtown LA and onward to Disneyland. Hopefully if we can get out of the pier by 12:30ish then we can make it to Disney...

    Traffic timing from Santa Monica to DLR

    Hey all, it's been a while since I've been to Disneyland as you can tell from my sig. I'm returning this July, but we're doing things before our visit to Disneyland for the first time ever and I'm trying to work out some traffic issues. The plan is to check out of our downtown LA (convention...

    1956 Family Vacation video!

    I'm about to leave for my flight to LAX and I was just watching this, as I usually do before I leave. I'm sure a lot of you have seen it, but it's really charming and interesting! https://archive.org/details/barstow_disneyland_dream_1956 Hope you enjoy, it reminds me of why we love...

    ~* May 2014 *~ I'm going, are you?!

    We leave on Saturday. We have reservations at BB on May 4th with no plans to cancel, so if nobody has posted pictures of what it looks like then I will when I get back!

    Crossing between the Parks/DTD with suitcases?

    Yes I considered that but I thought I'd ask just in case we do end up walking for any reason. It isn't very far either way but I was just wondering! :)

    Crossing between the Parks/DTD with suitcases?

    My friend and I are staying at the Motel 6 a few minutes walk away from the park entrance, and we just decided to spend our last night in the Disneyland Hotel. We're totally okay with walking our stuff over to the Disneyland Hotel, but we would be crossing through the bag check point. Is there a...

    Blue Bayou worth it if POC is closed?

    I have a reservation at BB for May 4th, nobody has said anything to me about the refurb. I usually eat near the water but if it's drained I don't think it would bother me too much if I'm seated near the middle. It's still very nice, even without the water! Though if they have walls up or...

    ~* May 2014 *~ I'm going, are you?!

    My friend and I decided last month to head down in May, we have airfare from YVR to LAX for only $300 rt! That's a good deal considering I usually leave from Seattle nowadays. We'll be there from the 3rd-8th and I'll be riding out the last few days of my annual pass which expires on the 17th I...

    Blue Bayou open during POTC refurb?!

    I just booked BB over the phone for May 4th and they didn't mention anything about a refurb. I might ask tomorrow when I call again to book a few more things though. Disappointed about Pirates being closed if it really is happening, my friend has never been on it and we're there right in the...

    Positive experience with FP+! Can't wait to try Bands

    That seems too perfect to me! I will definitely be taking advantage of that. I also like the idea of being able to pick my FPs early, I feel like I won't have to worry about anything after I get on the Express. Thanks for the info!

    Positive experience with FP+! Can't wait to try Bands

    I had no idea you could size them down, I was wondering since I have a very small wrist too. I also didn't know they were waterproof, my sister loves the pool and she loves bracelets so that should be a perfect combo for her. I like the idea of getting a late fastpass even when there are...

    Positive experience with FP+! Can't wait to try Bands

    I hope that no matter what happens you can still enjoy your stay. :) It's very different from paper passes but I think you should be open to forming your own opinion. I hadn't really read a ton of negative feedback before we went since it was so last minute, maybe that affected how I saw and...

    Positive experience with FP+! Can't wait to try Bands

    Returned recently from a sort of last minute 5 day trip to Florida and thought I'd give some positive feedback to change it up. We did not stay on-site (10 minute drive away roughly) and we had a group of 8 for both of the parks we did. I found out about a month before the trip that we were...

    Rarest Character?

    My rarest is probably the cast from Atlantis. They had a meet and greet area by where the finding nemo ride now is at disneyland, and I remember Milo telling me about how the giant leviathan is twice the size of the matterhorn! I was pretty young at the time.

    Aladdin's Oasis

    When I was there last June with some friends we went in and sat down in the back corner to have a quiet picnic lunch, nobody else was around. Next to the Cave of Wonders is a CM door where Jasmine and Aladdin will come out of. Jasmine came out while we were there, and pretty much sat down at our...

    Qestion about upgrading to an AP, and World of Color

    I'll be in Disneyland pretty soon over a weekend that includes an AP blockout date. I'm considering getting an AP, but I want to be able to go to the park on the blockout date. If I get a 3 day parkhopper and use it for one day, and the next day which is an AP blockout day, can I upgrade it to...
