    Howard Johnson Plaza - Room Types

    We stayed at Hojo last month. We experienced 4 standard queen rooms. Why 4? We reserved two queen rooms which were supposed to be adjoining. When we checked in, the rooms were NOT adjoining. They count do anything about it but did move us the second night to adjoining rooms so we saw 4 total...

    Casey Jr. Refurb

    I just called Ask Otto. Storybook Land boats listed at 20 minute wait time. Otto kept telling me to see a CM when I asked about Casey. Im guessing that means its not open. Both were closed during our visit last month unfortunately. Little DD would have loved these rides!

    child swap

    This is similar to my RSR experience, only I didn't have to show DD3 to the CM to get the baby swap card. DH, DS7, and I rode first with our fps and asked for baby swap card. Then, our family friend who stayed with DD3 rode with her fp and DH and DS used the baby swap card to ride again. The...

    Favorite Iphone Apps for Disneyland

    We used Mousewait on DH's Droid a fair amount during our trip. And since I don't have any type of fancy phone, I called Ask Otto also when DH was busy on his phone working or we were separated in the park.

    Is their obvious signage is RSR is down?

    RSR was down the morning we went to DCA. The fp machines were distributing tickets as usual despite the closure and unknown opening time. When other fp rides were down during our trip, the particular ride's fp machines were NOT operating. If you're there at rope drop, CMs will announce any...

    Rsr questiOn

    Fastpasses are available everyday, but run out quickly in the morning on a first-come first-served basis. When we were there last month, we arrived at the gates at 6:45am for an 8am opening. Guests staying onsite at a Disney property were allowed in at 7am. At 7:30am, the gates opened for us...

    RSR Question

    Yep! DH, DS, and I rode as a group of three in the front seat. Is a blast!

    World of Color ticket/pass

    If you read the WOC Superthread, it'll tell you that plus tons of other helpful info. Hydroguy edits/updates the first post so ou don't have to read the entire thread. In fact, I highly recommend you don't read the whole thing. You'll read so much out of date info, it'll confuse you...

    So is RSR malfunctioning the norm?

    The CM at the RSR fp line the morning I stood in queue said that the ride goes down often and often isn't up at park open because it is so highly technical. The computerization is state-of-the-art, and they still need to work the out the bugs.

    How early to arrive for WOC?

    If you read the entire WOC super thread, it'll actually confuse you more! ;) Just read Hydroguy's first post and maybe the last page or two for comments from people who have been very recently. We went on a Sat in mid-October. I had planned on lining up 2 hours early, but saw people...

    Town Car Service who provides car seat

    Yes, dragging a large car seat through airports isnt easy. In fact, it's a huge, giant PITA. But it's a safety issue. Your child is safer on the plane in his/her own car seat vs a regular plane seat. Your child is also safer in his/her own car seat (provided it hasn't been in an accident or...

    HOJO Internet Access

    We stayed at Hojo mid-October. All I can say about the wifi is that it is HORRIBLE!! So very slow. I tried to YouTube a ride on my ipad to see if DS would like it and I could not watch it. The video would play for a second then stop. Play for two seconds then stop. Then, I'd push play over...

    Carsland update?

    I tried "testing" Ask Otto and the Mousewait app while in the park. Otto and Mousewait always gave me info that was correct to what I was finding while standing directly in front of the ride about which I asked. Just because I miss DL so much, I sometimes call Otto just to see what certain...

    Early entry/ magic morning/ whatever else its called! ?

    No, it doesn't matter. If you stay on-site, you get early entry regardless.

    Carsland update?

    We were there mid-Oct. Fps gone within 90mins and standby (when the ride was open) was usually 120mins. I've read a couple of threads on this topic lately and people's experience seems to vary, with some reporting much shorter lines than we experienced. If you call Ask Otto, it'll tell you...

    4 Day Park hopper + 1 day beach itinerary

    Did you want to see F! or fireworks? During the off-season when you are going, those events will only happen on Sat nights. WOC in DCA happens every night. For me, I'd plan on Sat at the parks just to see F! and/or fireworks.

    Star Tours - details, please!

    LOL!!! Me too! Not worth ruining the rest of my day and other rides. I can watch the movies or ST on YouTube and be juuuuuust fine.

    Can someone please explain how the meal plans work in Disneyland?

    What if I only wanted two Mickey Bars? I pay with two $5 voucher and then...what? I lose the remainder of those voucher because I will NOT get change and my total bill is less than $10. Or I use one $5 voucher and pay the extra, still keeping in mind that i NEED to buy more food later to use...

    Star Tours - details, please!

    I'm motion sensitive and did ST on my first trip to DL. I couldn't do much for a few hours afterwards. I felt sick and completely regretted riding it. Didn't even think about going on it this trip! DH rode with DS7, and even DH was a bit dizzy after.

    Buy tickets ahead of time or not?

    Ditto the call to buy them ahead. DH booked our trip and tix through Alaska Air. We were told to go to the ticket booth for our tickets. There were no lines, but it took for...ev....er to get them. I would avoid the ticket booth for anything if you can.
