    HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #5-- HALLOWEENTIME STARTS SEPT. 9!! SOLD OUT!!

    I might end up going to DL for a day. My plans are subject to when the cruise dates come out for their realignment cruises, which should be in Oct sometime. When I know the dates, I can book the add on trip around the cruise. Since I have a credit at an airline, it makes it viable to do. Just...

    HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #5-- HALLOWEENTIME STARTS SEPT. 9!! SOLD OUT!!

    WDW Commando Club 2 - Magic Bands & FP+ Oh My

    We've been priced out of going to WDW:eek:. At the end of June Westjet's package prices were in the range of what they've been for the past 1 1/2 yrs. For some reason, greed comes to mind, 1 1/2 weeks before I'm ready to book and pay for our trip with them they double the prices of their hotel...

    WDW Commando Club 2 - Magic Bands & FP+ Oh My

    I've also been noticing the Commando's have been quiet of late. I haven't booked the family trip yet, but will in the next couple of weeks. The dates are: Jan 10th to Jan 18th, staying at Pop Century. Sill hunting down better flights, but may get stuck with the not the greatest flights anyway...

    What rides in DLR are Halloween/Holiday themed?

    The StoryLand Canal boat ride also get's dressed for Christmas. It's neat to see the tiny Christmas decorations on the miniature buildings. The attention to detail is amazing.

    HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #5-- HALLOWEENTIME STARTS SEPT. 9!! SOLD OUT!!

    As for costumes for adults, you don't have to go full out costume if you don't want to. The couple of times I went to MHP in 2010 and 2011, I wore a hockey jersey, matching hat, and went as a hockey fan. Which I had alot of fun with, since I encountered another opposing hockey team fan in one of...

    Considering Disneyland Trip - many questions

    The 2017 dates for the DL hotels should be released late July/early Aug. I've been debating whether I want to stay at PP for my DL trip next year, so I went Phishing off the DL website and got this info. For me personally I just can't justify the expense, when I can stay at the BWPPI for less...

    Any downside to buying ticket at gate?

    I'd call your hotel and see if they've got tickets that you can buy from them. I always buy my tickets at the hotel, as for some strange reason the Disney website doesn't like my CC, even though it's good. I know that when I stay at BWPPI that when I book my hotel room, I email them to let them...

    Do you plan for other trips like you plan for Disney?

    I tend to plan for both a Disney trip and other trips in the same way. Do tons of research the first couple of months of the early planning stages. And once I've decided on hotels, and all the basics, I coast, and don't even think about the trip till it's time to book, then start some minor...

    YVR to Disneyland

    First off, if you can I'd advise you to fly into SNA instead of LAX. Reason being that Westjet flies into SNA, and this airport is alot closer and easier to navigate and is closer to DL than LAX. The price difference between flying into the airport is almost the same price, and it will save you...

    Quiet around here

    I haven't been active, as I'm currently planning a trip for the family to WDW in Jan/17, so my focus has been on planning that trip and not DL. Now that I've decided to add a side trip to DL for my major solo overseas trip in 2018, I'll be more active. I find the boards ebb and flow, depending...

    Thanksgiving Trip - Crowd Levels?

    The Mon and Tues will have very heavy crowds. The day before Thanksgiving the crowds will be much lighter than earlier in the week. On Thanksgiving Day, the crowds will be very light. If you are thinking about a special meal, the Blue Bayou does a special Thanksgiving day meal, but be advised...

    Is going to DLR worth it anymore?

    It really depends on if you really love Disney that can be the deciding factor. I personally find that when comparing the costs of a DL trip vs vacationing somewhere else, that I can travel further and longer for the same price as a DL vacation. So for me it's a matter of whether I want to...

    Crowds and temps last week of May....

    It sounds like the temps in Anaheim won't be much warmer than what I'll be encountering in Australia/New Zealand during those legs of my 15 day vacation. The crowds sound like they are very manageable. HMMM, sounds like I'm probably going to have to add a 4 day trip to DL on the way home. Irony...

    Crowds and temps last week of May....

    I'm planning a major solo trip to Australia/New Zealand in May/18. Since my return flight transits me through LAX, I'm thinking of tagging a side trip to DL for 4 days before returning home. It's not going to cost me anymore than what I've already budgeted for the trip, so it make's DL a viable...

    What would Disney have to do to keep your family away?

    I'm on the borderline myself. When the cost to visit Disney in general is comparable to traveling to other destinations, it's hard to justify a Disney trip anymore. We have plans for a family WDW trip next year, followed probably by a solo trip to DL later that year. But I'm not ruling out...

    How you get your Fix

    Spend alot of time on the boards researching future trips, and finally caved in yesterday and bought a D23 gold membership. That should tide me over until our family trip to WDW in Jan/'17, and my solo trip to DL later that year.

    Solo traveler hotel recommendation

    I've stayed at HOJO's, traveling as a solo woman traveler. For some reason, while I liked staying there with the family, I found that staying there solo, I didn't like the walk back to the hotel at night. Not sure why, but never felt really safe for some reason. I guess I felt safer in numbers...

    Tell me all I need to know and your best tips!

    I can't answer that question, but I can tell you DL will be decorated for Halloween. There will be at least 1 Halloween party, if not more during the time you will be at the parks. Check out the Halloweentime superthread, which has tons of info about the Halloween season. I can tell you the...

    Sick Before Trip

    I would pack a pile of over the counter meds and go anyway, including decongestants for the flight in case of congested ears. You can have fun going with colds, but just remember to go at a slower pace than you normally would, depending on how you all feel, and take breaks as needed. Go and have...
