    What to do in LA on Thanksgiving?

    I'm wondering the same thing. We will be in LA for Thanksgiving, but we'll have been to Disneyland at the beginning of our trip. I'm the DISer of the two of us, and while I'd happily go back to DLR, I'm not sure that he will! :rotfl2: We were thinking of maybe going to Magic Mountain for the...

    Vegas-Grand Canyon (South Rim)-Palm Springs

    I think leaving at 6AM would be fine - I went from Vegas to the South Rim last year and left about 7AM (and on a tour bus, which is always slower than driving yourself) with multiple stops, including a full sit down lunch in Williams, and it was probably a five hour trip out there. We had about...

    What is on your shopping list?

    Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. It's a bit like our Boxing Day sales, but better!

    What is on your shopping list?

    I love my cosmetics, so Sephora is a must visit for me! And Coach & Michael Kors for handbags. I am going to be in LA on Black Saturday, but not even sure where to start looking for somewhere to shop on the day!

    Phone help

    I am hoping aussies who have visited Disneyland before can help me with this one, we are heading to the US for a month, and our first stop on the trip is Disneyland. I was wondering if anyone knows the nearest place to Disneyland that I can get my mobile phone sorted out? Last year I landed in...

    Water in the USA

    I bought a Brita carbon filter bottle (just like a Bobble) at Kmart before my trip to WDW, and it was a lifesaver! The water is a bit funky tasting so I highly recommend picking up a bottle like this. I used it in Vegas and in LA too, it was the best!

    Holiday planning DVD

    Mine took a couple of months, I had actually forgotten I'd even ordered in when it finally arrived. I didn't think it was that helpful (nowhere near as helpful as The Dis!) But I like to re-watch it every now and again for the memories!

    American food etc

    From what I've experienced places like Wholefoods are definitely your best bet to try and find the healthiest alternatives. In terms of alcohol, on my last trip we visited a store called 'Beverages and More' in Hollywood (although I believe there are loads of them around) which seemed to be...

    Review of Desert Inn & Suites

    Thanks for posting this review! We'll be checking into the DI&S on Oct 27 for 3 nights, location was the most important thing for me when I was booking (although the very reasonable pricing at this time of year was also great!). Pleased to hear it ticked most of the boxes :thumbsup2

    Vegas - Orlando?

    I did MEL - LAX - VEGAS - MCO last year however it was all with Virgin Australia/Delta (domestic flights Delta) which meant it was all on one ticket with our baggage paid for in the international fare. Not much help if you're after the FF points I know, but I found them to be a good alternative.

    Politics and the AUD - still disney related, i promise :)

    I'd never thought of that way before, doesn't seem like it's worth being too stressed over :) thanks!

    Travel insurance

    I actually just purchased ours today through Travel Insurance Direct. They were one of the cheaper ones I looked at but still had a good level of cover. A colleague of mine recommended them, and I got a little bit of a discount with the code TIDSAVE (yay!). There are just so many policies out...

    Oh Aussie dollar...sad face

    I'm thinking I might try and change as much as I can before the RBA meets this month, especially if they decide to drop interest rates again. I miss the $1.10 days!

    Halloween in Vegas

    As part of a month long trip to the US through Oct/November, as fate would have it we will be in Las Vegas for Halloween! We're pretty excited because Halloween isn't really celebrated in Australia, so it will be a real treat for us to be in the US, not to mention Vegas! Does anyone have...

    Where to stay in New York?

    I have just booked pod 51 in NYC for our trip in November. Great reviews, good location and very affordable for NYC - but as previously mentioned it looks great for a couple of adults, but probably not as good for kids.
