    First time visit questions

    We traveled over Thanksgiving this past November. Flew out of MIA on Thursday Thanksgiving afternoon and into Orly Friday late morning (very short layover in Lisbon). We took the Magical Shuttle (pay, not free) from Orly to Marne-la-Vallee Chessy station and then took the train from Chessy back...

    Can anyone vouch for 365tickets?

    I can't comment on 365 as I have never heard of or used them. But as far as reputable sellers go, I used Attraction Tickets Direct for a trip this past November to DLRP and would recommend them. They had the best pricing I found and were pleasant to deal with. I online chatted and the woman I...

    Proposing on a Budget

    :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 As someone who was recently proposed to at a Disney park I can 100% say that you do not need to spend anything extra to make it special. We recently took our first trip to Paris, which (of course) included several days at Disneyland Paris. I had no idea at all...

    Cost of wisdom tooth extraction?

    Had all four out this past September. One of them was impacted. I was referred to an oral surgeon because my regular dentist thought they were too bad for her to deal with. I did have anesthesia. They billed my medical insurance (United Healthcare) first then dental insurance (Humana). I paid...

    Hotel in paris after DLP

    I will second the Citadines Tour Eiffel. We stayed for 5 nights (following the Disneyland portion of the trip) this past late Nov into Dec. in an Eiffel Tower view room. The price was extremely reasonable for the space and amenities. We had a full mini kitchen, spacious bathroom, tons of...

    Getting a second job

    You mentioned that you have a professional day job. Perhaps you could parlay that into side work depending on the industry you are in? Not that there is anything wrong with picking up a second job in retail, but consider what skills and assets you have from your current (or past) jobs and what...

    How many refrigerators do you have? how old are they

    We have a total of 3. 1 - Main refrigerator in kitchen is side by side and is about 5 years old. 2 - Smaller traditional fridge with freezer on top was here when we bought the house and we moved it to the garage and use it to store extra beverages (not sure on age, but at least 12 since that is...

    Just returned from first DL trip to celebrate my Birthday!

    Glad you are enjoying it. I would definitely recommended giving Pizza Press a try. They also had what appeared to be a decent (impressive?) selection of beers. Although I can't really speak to the quality or variety as we are not drinkers and didn't try any.

    Just returned from first DL trip to celebrate my Birthday!

    After touring around the DLH grounds we walked back through DTD to see the sights and sounds and look through the shops. I found it a bit congested, with some narrow passageways compared to WDW's DTD, but I did like the design and architecture of the restaurants and storefronts. I especially...

    Just returned from first DL trip to celebrate my Birthday!

    I will sometimes do the same. In fact at WDW I would often fill up my drink mug with hot water and tea bags in the food court in the evening and come back to the room after it had steeped and add it to a glass of ice. I also like the Twinings brand of cold brewed bags (which will steep in a...

    Just returned from first DL trip to celebrate my Birthday!

    After our snack at EoS we decided to check out the DLH. There are three towers at the DLH, the first one we came to, when walking in from the DTD area (and hanging a left) was the Adventure Tower. Across from the entrance to the Adventure Tower was the building housing Trader Sam's and...

    Just returned from first DL trip to celebrate my Birthday!

    After SO got up (grudgingly) from his nap we made our first trip over to DL property. The walk was very easy from our motel (just over 15 minutes) and there were lots of other people around. This was the case even when walking back late at night. We never felt unsafe. The sidewalks were nicely...

    Just returned from first DL trip to celebrate my Birthday!

    Yes the weather really made it miserable, but the dolphins were great to see. We live in FL on the east coast so seeing dolphins isn't rare for us, but seeing so many together was incredible. We were quite happy with our off-site location for DL. We usually have seasonal APs for WDW and we...

    WDW vet going to DL for 1st time...please help

    Just about everywhere in/near Hollywood had views of the sign. There was a nice viewing area at the Hollywood and Highland shopping complex as well as great views from the Griffith Observatory. I also snapped many pictures in the car just driving around the area.

    Just returned from first DL trip to celebrate my Birthday!

    After lots of research I ended up booking the Super 8 near the corner of Katella and Harbor in Anaheim. After considering the 3 Disneyland Resort hotels we decided they were not worth the cost to us and I began looking at options off site but within walking distance. Since we were booking...

    Just returned from first DL trip to celebrate my Birthday!

    The only sea lions we saw were at a great distance (this photo is using zoom) and they were lounging on a buoy. On the tour they do stress that there is no guarantee to see whales or other sea life. On our cruise we spotted a small pod of dolphins on the way out. It wasn't until we were on...

    Just returned from first DL trip to celebrate my Birthday!

    As we have had such problems in the recent past with delayed flights and having my plans for our first day activities blown out of the water, I had made no specific plans for this first day. By the time we had landed, gathered our bags, and picked up our rental car, it was around 10:45am PST. We...

    Just returned from first DL trip to celebrate my Birthday!

    Just returned late Saturday night from our first ever trip to DL (and CA for that matter). We are regulars to WDW, but had never gotten around to visiting DL. I set my alarm for 3am on Saturday April 25th, got up, showered, did hair and makeup, and then woke up SO (he can get ready in like 15...

    WDW vet going to DL for 1st time...please help

    Just returned yesterday from a week at DL, our first time too! We did a few of the items you are doing too including Hollywood and Santa Monica Pier. Of course YMMV depending on what you want to do, but Hollywood for us was a big disappointment and we probably spend 2 hours total walking...
