I found your guide interesting. I'm not autistic but have a son who is on the spectrum. There are a couple things I'd like to point out. In Disneyland the omnimover style vehicle can spin in circles. I know this because I was just on it and my two year old spun the 3 of us for most of...

I realize this isn't ideal but many times my husband had had to take a child potty or join up with me when I've waited in line for them as my son has autism and doesn't always do well in a line. In those cases he's gone to the exit and told the person who he was with and pointed me out and...

I'm pretty sure I went on a packed Saturday a couple weeks ago, lines for all good rides were 45-55 minutes. We really wasted a ticket going because we went to another event on property and used passes plus a ticket for my husband, my youngest was bored so I left the event early and took him...

I was just at a picnic where one mom said to her friends, "so I'm going to Disneyland next week." I couldn't tell if it was a brag or a "oh god I have to go again" but her friend looked at her disapprovingly and said "again?! You we're just there!" And the first mom said "it's not me, family...

I've stayed at both tropicana and park vue. While I like tropicana I prefer park vue because they have free parking. Tropicana has this weird valet hybrid, where if they're busy you have to use valet and tip each time, do not only are you paying to park you might tip when you leave and...

The jack bag at eBay is cute!

Thanks everyone! I was hoping i had just missed it at Port Royale.

I saw someone with an adorable pumpkin Jack O'Lantern Purse that looked somewhat Jack Skellingtonish. She walked by too quickly for me to ask where she purchased it but I did not find it at the store near the Pirates of the Carribean. I thought I'd see if anyone else knew if this is a Disney...

Imho, mcdonalds is the best, really quick and very accurate. ..unlike the mcdonalds near my house. Should you opt for that there's a 15% off coupon here which lowers the price in line with regular mcdonalds http://visitanaheim.org/coupons I scoffed at the idea of going to mcdonalds last time...

Point lobos is my #1 recommendation for a casual hike with scenic movie like views, imagine a cave being hit by a wave framed by beautiful trees. The Madonna Inn is really just a place to stay, yes theres hiking and tennis etc but i think of it more like a resort or spa than a pave for...

I love taking the coast roads and stopping in San Luis Obisbo at the Madonna Inn, it's super tacky and kitschy and fun. They make the most amazing cake there too. I really love driving and seeing the coast, in a hurry we've taken the 5 but it's long, boring and smelly at points when you...

This takes some planning ahead but i know my sister keeps an eye out for good Disney store online sales on pins then buys a bunch for trading. Yes normally you don't want 5 of the same pin. But if you want 1 and then trade the other 4, you just turned your five same pins into a bunch of...

I refuse to go in rockin Rollercoaster, but I've ridden screamin twice. The first time i screamed during take off and couldn't catch my breath the entire time because i normally scream when coasters go down and breathe when they go up, and this totally messed with my normal sense of...

Man i thought i was just a wimp for not liking the swinging cars. I've never tried the fixed cars. Dh thought it was pretty lame, so i guess it depends on your level of thrill. It didn't look that scary from the ground but that first slide down had me worried. In retrospect is not as...

Even when I've had annual passes i rarely hop. There's enough to do in each park that i can spend an entire day in one park. The only reasons to hop imho are it's your only day and you really want to do one ride at the other park before you go home, you want to see world of colorbut want...

To piggyback off of CA Farmer girl, I would highly recommend flying into LA, doing all of your Disney stuff and driving up the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway). You could spend about 3 days driving up the coast, touring, it's one of my favorite drives/vacations, we will leave from San Diego but...

Excellent trip report! We are local so we will probably never stay in the hotel but it's really nice to see what the rooms look like and also I'm still new at going to Legoland so it doesn't feel "like home" like Disneyland does. I can go to Disneyland without a map but I'm still learning the...

Ding ding ding! That's exactly it! Totally an adorable place to take a photo :)

bcla has a good point, I didn't think about what types of tripods are permitted in Disneyland, the photo my husband took was not at Disney so we don't have any experience with being asked to put our cameras away there. We do love to take photos and often will bring 2 DSLRs with us when we're...

There's a trick your photographer can do but it requires a tripod and a filter and doing a very long exposure (We're talking like 2 minutes). Most people move within the span of 2 minutes, but you will have to keep very, very still. My husband saw a tip on how to do this online and was able to...
