    Dining tips for first visit

    Wanted to mention something re: the dietary restrictions - I just went to the OBB on 10/7 with a gluten-free friend and we found the DL app was helpful in finding things for her to eat. It had more info than what was posted on the menus, seemed like. You can look up restaurants, hit "menu" and...

    Visiting Downtown Disney

    I'd add be careful to get your parking validated with purchase (the PP kindly showed prices and times) and when you do, if it's less than $20, know that they may (will?) validate for less than the 3-hour period. Do you have any other restaurant favorites? Earl of Sandwich is yummy and I...

    Third Party Ticket Companies?

    Oh good. I was just looking up the DISboards guidelines because I didn't think we could post stuff like that. It said websites would be blocked. I tried to mention UT last week and it went all starred out: ******* UT is who I've used twice for WDW tickets - less expensive than direct from...

    Rider Switch clarification at Disneyland

    Thank you, Poptart90, gpjacobs and others. I apologize if I came across as defensive or crankypants in any way...I think it was a combo of being told by someone who's not a CM (wait, are there CM's posting on here?) and a whiff of something that sounded like me or my party were trying to cheat...

    Rider Switch clarification at Disneyland

    Hi Epicnemesis! I was just getting back on to say that I should have just looked not only at the Disney website (which I did) but also do an internet search for "Disneyland Planning Tips". The forum will not let me post the web link nor the name of the company but do that search and select the...

    Rider Switch clarification at Disneyland

    Thank you Kim, that's really helpful. In my experience at Disney I can sometimes tell when a CM is unsure of what they're saying or if my instincts are telling me something is "off". Then I just go ask someone else until I get a different answer. Thanks again, this helps me be better...

    Rider Switch clarification at Disneyland

    As a mom myself, I personally expect to sit out any rides if my child cannot or will not ride. 🤷‍♀️ I like that. I think what is bugging me is that I know my sis tends to be selfish and act like it's all about her and the kids. When we were planning this (pre-COVID is how long we've been...

    Rider Switch clarification at Disneyland

    Something just isn't ringing true. The Disney website does say: "If a Guest doesn’t meet the boarding requirements or doesn’t wish to experience a particular attraction, it’s not a problem for family and friends who do!" It also explains that part of the process is for the whole party (7 of us...

    Rider Switch clarification at Disneyland

    That is a complete surprise. I don't mean Disney is being unfair as they get to set the rules, I just didn't realize it was all down to a height requirement. We certainly do not want to cheat...I just thought that would be a way to enable the adults to ride when the kids were too chicken. I...

    Rider Switch clarification at Disneyland

    Hi - we're going to DLR in November and it'll be my first time with Rider Switch (never been with kids and my sister's 8 year old twins are going. They are tall enough to ride everything but I anticipate they may be timid about the roller coasters as this is their first visit.). I read about...

    Early park hour closures & park dinner res times

    Thanks. I made one for 5:45 pm...it'll give us time to wrap up the day, do a little shopping and head to the restaurant on the way out. I know this was a fussy question but you know how it is - those last minute wonderings before making ADR's!

    Hanger Bar in DS - can I just buy the cups?

    Thanks for mentioning the prices, jvsims. They didn't have Jock's when we went last time so I've been excited to try it as the whole family are big Indiana Jones fans. I'm not really a drinker but would like to try one of the alcoholic drinks just for fun. I wouldn't mind a souvenir cup but...

    Questionable Choices....

    For San Angel Inn Restaurante, we went there and I loved it. I thought the food was very good and it was enough, our server was quite nice and as you mentioned, the atmosphere is cool. My mom got mole and wasn't a fan but I thought she was brave to try it. She liked the rest of it, though...

    Early park hour closures & park dinner res times

    Ok, thanks. I kind of figured they'd set the choices for me but wanted a heads up before I had to make a decision.

    Help with Jan/Feb 2017 Trip (Need to make ADRs Mon!)

    My 180 is tomorrow so I noticed your post. We're going 1/24 - 2/3 (incl. flying days). Yes, it's SUPER ANNOYING that easywdw has no crowd calendars (not exactly his fault as he relies on Disney to give out the info) and even more annoying that dumb Disney tells us to do ADR's 180 days ahead...

    Early park hour closures & park dinner res times

    We'll be visiting in late January/early February and currently I'm seeing AK park hours as usually a 5:00pm closure. This is fine. I just want to know, for days like that, when are you supposed to make a Tusker House dinner reservation for? Does it have to be 5:00pm or can it be...

    Room only reservations and magicbands

    We just booked room only for Janurary and my TA said Disney would mail them within 3 weeks of our arrival date. I think this was the only one of your questions that didn't get specifically answered with the good info above.

    Looking for EasyWDW's Jan 2017 Crowd Calendar

    That's just it - I can't find any day-to-day recommendations - as clarified above, all I could find were the travel agent schedules for February. And thanks for the forum link...I did see where that was last night with a little more exploration. All I'd used last time was the DISboards and...

    Looking for EasyWDW's Jan 2017 Crowd Calendar

    DrDrowsy and Debbie - yeah, I did see that...thanks. Disappointing. But in spite of that, I don't understand why February is up and not earlier months! And Boski - no, I don't know about a "forum page". Please give details if you can...where, what, a link...I'm a busy gal and my 180 is in...

    HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #5-- HALLOWEENTIME STARTS SEPT. 9!! SOLD OUT!!

    Just bought my MHP ticket for 10/17!!!! 6th year in a row!!!! Something upsetting happened on the phone with the CM, though. I mentioned I had made my own costume and she said something about "bounding" (Disneybounding). She was sounding kind of wishy-washy about what the rules are and...
