    Aladdin's final performance on January 10, 2016

    This is sad news. Why Frozen. Haven't we had enough. This film has taken over DCA and DHS. It's crazy. Not to mention the fact that we have to endure "let it go" during the DL fireworks and WoC. I'm surprised we don't have a Frozen Land yet. I'm going to really miss Aladdin. It's the best stage...

    Upgrading to Premiere Passport

    Perhaps you could buy a regular AP at DLR in October, and then upgrade to Premiere when you get to WDW, and have the value of the WDW ticket applied to the upgrade.

    If overcrowding closes the gate.....

    You probably should have mentioned the date in your OP. Disneyland won't reach capacity on that day. Like Sherry E said, capacity closures are quite rare, except from Christmas Day through New Years Eve. And even then, any closures are quite brief. The prolonged closure on May 22 was even more...

    60th Anniversary Celebration - When Does It End??

    I'm pretty sure the Diamond Celebration will run through summer 2016, and end when Halloweentime begins. Disney doesn't do 18-month celebrations anymore because the Halloween and Christmas seasons have gotten so popular. This year they are shuffling seasonal entertainment around in order to...

    Question about the Soarin' announcement

    I expect the new film at DCA by next summer. These theaters got the new projectors earlier this year. The film looks much better. Also, most of the signage and even the CM costumes now just says "Soarin", with the new logo. I doubt DCA will be delayed while Epcot catches up.

    Toy story and Star Wars Lands timelines?

    Just how "big" the 50th anniversary celebration will be may depend on how successful Disneyland's 60th is/was (by the time all the numbers are in). It's a good bet the Magic Kingdom won't get any new rides between now and then, with so much going on in the other parks. Of course there will be...

    FP+ for Electrical Parade *and* FP+ for Wishes on the same night

    Last month, I watched Wishes and Celebrate from the East viewing area. Then I made my way to Town Square to catch MSEP from that viewing area. It was the 2nd parade, but it worked well for me.

    How crowded is the FPP parade viewing area?

    I saw MSEP and FoF Parades in the Town Square FP+ viewing area last month. I was very surprised at how small the crowds were for both parades because the park was pretty packed. For MSEP, I sat on the curb, and stood up because nobody was behind me. I could have done the same thing for FoF...

    Going Solo and First time Visitor

    It is probable that Fantasmic will be down during that time. They did not do a seasonal refurb this year because WoC was down for most of the winter. It's A Small World and/or Haunted Mansion may also be down to change from the holiday overlays. January/February is a great time to go because...

    Open Letter to the Disneyland Resort regarding Soarin' Over California

    Soarin' over California is the original version of the attraction. It opened at DCA in 2001. Soarin' opened at Epcot in 2005 as part of the company-wide celebration of Disneyland's 50th anniversary.

    Interesting AP Renewal Info

    My Partner was able to upgrade from SoCal Select to the SoCal pass last month. He did it online, and got the payment plan, and the renewal discount. So yes, it can be done.

    Open Letter to the Disneyland Resort regarding Soarin' Over California

    I see no problem with the film changing. The exterior refurbishment (new sign) was a clear giveaway to me that this ride would eventually get a name change. The hangar building will still have an aviation theme, with the movie inside changing. Maybe they'll rotate films, or have a different film...

    Best Walmart to go to?

    If you want to go to a nice (decent) Walmart, you'll need to go to Irvine. There's a Walmart Supercenter near Irvine Spectrum at hwy 5 & Alton. It's about 20 mins from DLR.

    help,help,help DLR in October for a non disney expert

    Wednesday is my favorite day of the week to hit Disneyland. Crowds are generally lighter for a good portion of the day. However, I have also found that MM/EMH days during non-peak seasons are not bad. Early entry only impacts select attractions in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. It's just not the...

    Free WiFi at Disneyland?

    The Disneyland app is not MDE. Someday, maybe. By right now, the app is very limited.

    E-Ticket Exchange at Monorail Entrance to DL?

    Apparently you can link your tickets to the app (like MDE). But you would still need a paper ticket to get FP. So what's the point, right. I said "apparently" because my Premier AP can't be linked yet.

    Ride Closures During Parade, Fantasmic! and/or Fireworks

    The attractions in Rivers of Anerica close early on Fantasmic nights, and don't reopen. Early means by 6pm. All attractions in the buildings connected to the castle close at around 8-8:30pm for the fireworks, and usually open back after 10pm. Storybook land canal boats close at around 7pm...

    Two reservations/two sets of magic bands???

    Seems stupid and a waste of money for Disney to send so many magic bands, especially when they are interchangeable. I'm leaving on Monday for 11 days, and have 3 MBs. One for each resort, and a Passholder one. I like the magic bands, but this is just silly. When I was there in 2014, I stayed at...

    Is the People Mover going away?

    Not to worry. If they closed it, you would still be able to see the tracks for decades as a constant reminder of what used to be. Just like at Disneyland. :(

    carousel inn

    I stayed at the Carousel Inn back in 1999. It was a dump then, and I can't see how it would have improved by now. Disney hasn't made any changes to the hotel, and so far, they don't have any plans to do anything. The betting money is on them leveling it to make room for parking infrastructure...
