    MNSSHP 2022 Check-in -- Dates, Costumes, and More!

    Alright so, now my fiance and I are having a crisis-- we'd planned to be Jack Sparrow and the Redhead for our September Not So Scary, but now we're thinking Mandalorian and Ahsoka. Has anyone done the Mandalorian before? I know the helmet won't be allowed since it's a mask, but did you find any...

    MNSSHP 2022 Check-in -- Dates, Costumes, and More!

    I'm glad that helped! Our typical party looks like this: We'll get there around 4pm (when they start letting party guests enter) and do normal park things until the park is closed for the party. Then, we prioritize the trick-or-treating and Halloween overlays. We'll typically stake out a spot...

    MNSSHP 2022 Check-in -- Dates, Costumes, and More!

    I haven't been since pre-Covid, and of course this is the first year with the real MNSSHP having returned, but that being said-- the crowds are so low that in our opinion due to reduced capacity for ticketed events that it has ALWAYS been worth the money for party nights. We have gotten on just...

    I’m afraid the Magic is gone!

    I do agree with everything you said here. That being said, as I said I would never *expect* to be comped- but there is a definite shift in their willingness to do so. I'd add that very likely they are not only trying to limit how much they do this in comparison with FP+ but also trying to...

    WDW without purchasing Disney Genie +?

    Have gone once without, and once with, in the past year. Without, we had a fine time and didn't struggle to get on anything that we planned to ride--that being said, we didn't take an afternoon break, and we rope dropped, so we were usually pretty exhausted by the end of the day. But it's...

    Best good neighbor hotels + summer 2023 dates?

    Thank you to all of y'all for your advice!!! DVacationer, that's amazing that you are able to get to Disneyland weekly. That's a life goal right there! We ended up booking a room at the Marriott Suites. We are so very excited!

    Standard vs Garden View

    An accidental ocean view would be AMAZING. I'll have to find those specific rooms to request- thank you!

    Standard vs Garden View

    Thank you so much for this! I think we'll probably leave it as is. I was wondering if we should mention it's our honeymoon. I would never expect anything, but it can't hurt-- I remember getting bumped to a savanna view at AKL on a birthday trip as a kid.

    Standard vs Garden View

    Hi, all! My fiance and I are having our honeymoon at Aulani. We impulsively decided to fly to California after our week in Hawaii for a few days at Disneyland. To cut back on some costs, would it be worth it to downgrade our room from Garden View to Standard View? If you have stayed in a...

    Best good neighbor hotels + summer 2023 dates?

    Hi, all!! My fiance and I are having our honeymoon in Aulani at the end of May 2023. We are then going to fly to CA for a few days to do Disneyland for both of our first times (though I am a seasoned WDW vet.) Two big questions: 1. What are your experiences with the Good Neighbor...

    Best good neighbor hotels + Summer 2023 release dates???

    REPOSTED IN MAIN DISNEYLAND BOARD-- Sorry, y'all, I'm used to WDW and WDW only. Please delete if necessary. Hi, all!! My fiance and I are having our honeymoon in Aulani at the end of May 2023. We are then going to fly to CA for a few days to do Disneyland for both of our first times (though I...

    I’m afraid the Magic is gone!

    Totally agree, OP. Two things from my two March trips: 1. My fiance and I went to the Polynesian on the first night of my birthday trip to watch Enchantment (me, not knowing I was about to get engaged!) The CM working the gate looked at us when we said we were heading to Trader Sam's and goes...

    Cabanas... Whats the 411?

    Thank y'all! Calling them as soon as I get off work today. Do you have any idea what the cancellation policy is? If something were to change, is there a period of time it'd still be refundable?

    Definitely a great idea to stock up on the way in- thank you!!! Will have to try that pie as well. I've been looking into Hawaiian Airlines, so that's great to know it comes highly recommended!

    Cabanas... Whats the 411?

    Hey y'all! Jumping on this thread with a couple related questions of my own. How far in advance can I book a cabana for our May 2023 honeymoon? And would payment be due on booking or simply added to our trip total? TIA!

    Honeymoon Planning - Help!

    I think I definitely would like to add on if it ends up being in budget! I would absolutely be torn between the volcanoes on Big Island (childhood fascination, what can I say) and the natural beauty of Kauai.

    Thanks so much! Will definitely check out these hikes and restaurants. And that is great to know about the north shore, too--that sounds awesome.
