    Do you think rain affects crowds?

    When I was there on a trip about 2-3 years ago with extended family (7 of us in total), we had one day of pretty decent rain (I wouldn't call it torrential, but definitely steady), and I'd say it had an effect. Everyone in our group except my Mom and I went back to the hotel after an hour or...

    Definitive answer - Canadian park tickets with a package?

    I didn't buy a full package, but I got discounted park tickets from AMA that we used end of January/beginning of this month in Disneyland. She said that because the discount was specifically a Canadian discount we would have to provide our passports at the turnstyles the first time (which we...

    Disneyland Express from LAX?

    When I was there last month, it stopped at the Disneyland Hotel first, which I think is the usual. You do need to tell the driver what hotel you're going to though, but you can probably do that sneakily away from your family. They might confirm that at some point though and ruin the surprise...

    Transgender child

    I came across this thread for the first time today and just read the whole thing, and all I can say is wow, what an amazing story of support and positivity! It is such an uplifting story, and I think really encapsulated a lot of parents' struggles, which you handled so well! I just wanted to say...

    Absolutely! It made for such a special, memorable week! Not to mention upping our standards! :rotfl: That is so awesome! It sounded like they were planning on making the carving station permanent, so fingers crossed for you! I hope you have a fantastic trip! :goodvibes

    Grand Californian Concierge Lounge NEW Carving Station!

    Last few photos, starting with another dessert, which I don't even remember, lol! Afternoon cheese: Fruit "bowl" that was always out, had some different choices, even saw persimmon one day! They always had some sort of macarons every day, these were raspberry. I also remember s'mores...

    Grand Californian Concierge Lounge NEW Carving Station!

    That was our guess too, we figured we were very lucky, and it was a bit of birthday magic for my food-obsessed girlfriend! I hope they keep the carving station too, it was a really nice touch! So cool that we were probably in there at the same time, such a small world (we were the three women...

    Grand Californian Concierge Lounge NEW Carving Station!

    Sorry for the delay on pictures everyone, they're currently on my girlfriend's phone and she's at work right now, but I'll get some posted tonight (or earlier if she gets a chance to message them to me)! She has videos of some of the spreads too, I'll see if I can post a link to them as well...

    Grand Californian Concierge Lounge NEW Carving Station!

    They offered it when we checked in, we didn't ask. We initially just said no without even hearing the price, figuring it would be crazy expensive. Given the price (plus the fact that we had gotten a 25% room discount when we booked), we're guessing that they were trying to fill it up, and we...

    Grand Californian Concierge Lounge NEW Carving Station!

    Just got back from an amazing trip, and first ever time staying at the GC! We hadn't planned on doing concierge level, but they offered us an upgrade for only $59/night for the whole room, so how could we say no?? It was an absolutely amazing experience, the food was fantastic, and I don't know...

    I was there from Jan 14-22 this year and the one in DtD across from the Disney store was definitely there and open! :)

    Strategy for Magic Morning at DCA

    I agree with the PP. I'd go to RSR first, then head to TSMM. Usually the TSMM line doesn't get all that bad even towards the end of EMH (I think I've had a 10-15min wait max, and that was on a busy weekend/holiday Monday with the Star Wars half marathon crowd), but not everyone gets into the...

    Recent Security Experiences

    I've been here the last few days and it hasn't been any long than usual from the DTD entrance. The last couple of days when we've taken the monorail though, they've been putting everything through the metal detectors, and it has definitely been a bit slower, but then again the monorail's been...

    Rain and RSR

    I've had a similar experience. We were there for EMH one morning in the rain (more a steady day-long rain than a torrential downpour), and the CMs said as long as the ride will run they keep it going in the rain. It did break down for about half an hour right after we'd gotten off, but they...

    WhatsApp Calling

    I've used Whatsapp once to actually call one of my friends who lives in Bahrain, and while it works great for messaging her, it didn't work at all for calling. I'm not sure if the internet on one end or the other was too slow or what was going on, but we weren't able to talk at all through it...

    Kitty sitting

    Awww... She sounds like a very sweet cat. I actually went to school around there, and still have a few animal-loving friends in the area. I'll ask around and see if I can find someone! Otherwise, you could try asking at rescue foundations if any of their volunteers pet sit. I volunteer with...

    Kitty sitting

    Whereabouts do you live? I pet sit myself depending on timing (I have references), or might be able to help you find someone if the timing doesn't work. I'm in Calgary, AB.

    Places to buy Disney clothing!

    I second Ardenes! I'm in Calgary and I've found some really great shirts in different styles there from a variety of movies, plus classic Mickey, etc.
