    What is your most blissful/epic experience at Disneyland?

    Love this thread! :love: It's so fun to see so many different cool stories. Like many of you, I could probably come up with a book full of moments, but here are the first three that popped into my head... 1. On our last trip, we hadn't really planned for how late to be in the parks, it was...

    Has anyone eaten Gluten Free in the parks recently?

    DD(5) and DS(9) are both Celiac and I second both of these. :thumbsup2 We did BB for DS's birthday and he had gluten free pasta. We did have to discuss and order with the manager because there wasn't anything on the kids menu that he could have (I realize you won't be eating off the kids menu...

    Anybody use a Sit and Stand-type stroller in the parks?

    I used a Baby Trend Sit and Stand a few years ago and loved it. My kids were 2, 4 and 6 at the time. I figured the 6 year old wouldn't need it at all, the 2 year old would want to sit most of the time and the 4 year old would jump on and off. What really happened is that the 4 and 6 year old...

    Target Age for Discover the Magic Tour

    We did it last month and my kids were 5, 6 and almost-9. They all loved it, but I do feel like we're on the edge of the oldest being too old for it. A year or two more and he may not have been as into it. Like the others have said, our group was about 5-10 yo. I think it really depends on the...

    Help with difficult ride situation

    This is exactly what we did with my DS(8) last time on RSR. DD(5) and DS(6) were raring to go, but not the oldest! Go figure. I felt he was too young to wait the entire time we were in line by himself and too old to "baby" swap (I have heard, though not tested it, that you can only use swap...

    A Question About Ariel's Grotto

    Exactly what I was going to say. They are trained so that all the signatures look alike. My DD would completely notice if I tried to fake one and it looked different than what she got in the past.

    Pro photographers

    You could try calling/emailing Disney weddings and asking them for their list of preferred photographers. I'd bet there are some in there who also do family photography and are very familiar with the parks and rules.

    Getting to DLR from rental properties

    We have stayed at both of those condo complexes and definitely preferred one over the other for our family (me, DH, DD(5), DS(6), DS (8) and my mom and dad). FWIW, we do not generally go back during the day. We prefer to go ALL day (even my 5yo made it from an 8 am rope drop to a midnight...

    On our trip on June 5, I paid $38.99 for adult and $20.99 for a child

    How do your kids like WOC?

    I actually complained to Disney about this (sent an email after our trip). It was the biggest disappointment of our visit. I mean, I understand crowds and less than perfect views, but this was wait and not be able to see anything. They called me today to discuss. And she said while she doesn't...

    How do your kids like WOC?

    This is very important! It's my 8 year old's favorite show. It was unusually crowded the last time we were there so we didn't get our usual rail spot. He couldn't see. We spent most of the show trading which kid we were holding (three kids, two of us) so they could sort of see in between crying...

    Gluten Free Dining at the Disneyland Resort: A Superthread

    Gluten free at Disney? There's an app for that! When I mentioned at one of the restaurants that I was disappointed in the lack of a GF list, they told me to go get the app! So, I couldn't find an official app (though Disney should get on that - so much easier to keep updated than the printed...

    Princess Character Dining?

    You definitely need an appointment. Especially if you want to have the experience in the morning. When we checked in at 10, someone walked in and they said the first available time that day was at 3:10. We did one of the lower end packages, so I can't speak to picking the dress (we brought our...

    Bippity bopity boutique

    This was our experience at DLR last week. Appt time was 10:10. We checked in a little before 10. Got called around 10:30 and out around 11. The only difference between DD's package and the least expensive is that they painted her nails. Maybe 3 minutes extra (it was certainly no manicure - LOL)...

    So there are no lockers in Disneyland Park right now correct?

    When I was there last week, Jumbo lockers were sold out before park opening each time. There were still large ones (and I was surprised at how much I could cram in one of those things!) in the first hour. When I went back (but didn't look at the check out computer) to retrieve something, I heard...

    So there are no lockers in Disneyland Park right now correct?

    Haha - I just made this same comment when we were at DLR last week. We had the stroller in the car just in case the 5 yo needed it (she didn't) and I thought "well, I may just need to bring it for my stuff if I have to exit the park every time I want something!" It was definitely less...

    Princess Character Dining?

    We just did this for my daughter's 5th birthday... BBB appointment was at 10:10 and Ariel's reservation was at 12:40. We were planning to watch the princess show at 11:05, but they didn't take my daughter at BBB until after 10:30. We were out at 11, but the show was already full. We managed to...
