I saw someone mentioned the giant turkey legs and thought I'd add my husband's idea of a great meal. He loves to get a turkey leg in DCA and pick up a fresh baguette from Boudin. Then, he alternates a bite of turkey with a bite of bread (which he adds some mayo and mustard to it) and have a...

I was there on Saturday for EE at DCA. I used a digital key (via the Disneyland app) and pulled up the reservation on the app to show the security staff at the DCA entrance. They scrolled down to check that all 3 of us were staying at GCH so be sure to add the GF to your room.

Thanks so much! It was a great way to celebrate my birthday, although I think I was over-ambitious trying to squeeze so much into one day. I hope you have a fantastic time at Thanksgiving! We usually do 3 day PHs so it was a bit intense. However, my teens are so busy (my HS senior is working on...

I'm back from our trip and figured I'd answer my own questions for anyone who's curious in the future. 1) We were at the security line into DTD from GCH at 6:45 am on Saturday but there were already 25 people in line ahead of me. The plan had been for us to pick up Starbucks from DTD on the way...

We haven't been to DLR since before the pandemic. I had planned a trip last summer but we canceled it due to a COVID surge (so we didn't feel comfortable getting on a plane). We're going this weekend, have only one day in the park (it's to celebrate my birthday), so I opted for a VIP tour and...

I am also researching for our first visit to TDS and was unable to purchase on the official TDR website. They could not accept 2 different American credit cards. After some research, I went to Klook.com and purchased them there. You have to select the exact day you want to visit (and the...

Yes, I read that on here so I know those rides can only be ridden once on the VIP tour and we won’t get to go twice unless we rope drop them.

Yes, very true. I always tip at least $5 even if it’s a $10 Uber ride. But for higher priced services (e.g., a $500 instacart order), I still tip 20% so that’s $100. I’ve just never had a service cost several thousand dollars that I needed to tip for (we don’t have a pool service). Anyhow, I...

Yes, this is what we are paying for summer/high season. With a 7 hour min, it’s almost $5,000 which is why I initially thought it was a bit much to tip 20% (which is my normal tipping amount for everything else).

True, this is why I hesitated to book a VIP tour since we don’t plan to go on any of the non LL rides. Every ride we want has LL. However, you can only use Genie+ once per ride per day, so you can’t get multiple rides. Back in the pre-Genie+ days, we would ride GOTG, Space, Splash...

Thank you so much, nonsuch! This is so helpful. I had been thinking I’d rope drop in the standby lines with my younger DD and then schedule the tour for 11-6 or 1-8 when the park will be super crowded on a Saturday. But you’re right, the LLs will be most crowded then. I guess I could always...

Loved reading this. I agree--I love DLR at night, particularly Carsland and RSR. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks all! My gut was saying to stick with the VIP tour, but I kept thinking we aren't making the "most" of it since we're only targeting thrill rides and just going in the LL. I know the teens would prefer the VIP tour. They can sleep anywhere. I'm the one who is thinking about how great GCH...

I was ready to splurge on a VIP tour for a post-pandemic/post-surgery celebration for our first trip since 2019 later this summer in August. We have never done a VIP tour before. However, after reading a ton of threads about VIP tour and LL wait times, I'm torn. Now I'm considering canceling it...

Wow, I had never heard of this service before and I'm so excited to try it for our upcoming August trip! Thanks for sharing.

I can't remember which of the past 5 family trips it was, but my eldest daughter and I were on Goofy's when it froze for about 10 minutes. Luckily, we were at a flat part in the middle (not one of the curvy turns!) and we got passes that we used later on RSR. Another time, we were on Space...

I’m going back to DLR 8/5-8/7. It’s a short weekend trip as my younger DD will be in school already but older DD’s summer job doesn’t end until 8/5. DH is skipping this trip. I booked a VIP tour for us on that Saturday and invited older teen’s boyfriend and 6 of their friends to join us so we...

Yes, I called Tropicana and specifically asked if it was ok that 2 of my 3 rooms only had teens. She said it's totally fine and was just more concerned about young children being alone. And yes, I read that recent VIP Tours just stand in the LL line but you can still go to the same ride...

Thanks so much for taking the time to be so thoughtful with your advice. Yes, DD's boyfriend's mom volunteered to come just to drive the kids back and forth between the park and a house rental. However, she's not into Disney so I thought it didn't make sense to have her fly with us. I pointed...

Thanks for all the great additional ideas. Yes, I'm looking into 3 bedroom suites now, as I think you're right the hotel won't let me get 3 separate rooms with only 1 adult. Or I need to find a hotel that has 3 adjoining rooms. I decided I want to be within walking distance as I just don't like...
