    Grand Californian Super Thread

    I don't think it's a DVC entrance. It's the entrance for people staying at Pixar/Paradise Pier but it's close enough to the DVC wing that it may be faster for some people vs the traditional GC entrance.

    Hotel help please!

    We loved HoJo when our kids were younger. I think our daughter was 9 when we stayed there. Pay for a premium room in building 1 and you'll be fine. There's a Panera and a McDonald's on your way to/from the parks so you can pick up breakfast if you don't get your own groceries. My daughter loved...

    Genie+ with a cast member's Park Pass

    Once you enter the park. I used my daughter's comp tickets several times and that's how it worked for us.

    Car Service/Shuttle Question

    I reserved Lansky's because my daughter flew in to LGB in May and couldn't even get an Uber. It was just a random weekend, nothing big going on. I don't like unknowns and I need a grocery stop (gotta have lots of water bottles) so I just went ahead and booked with Lansky. The process was super easy.

    Candy Cane Inn reopening date?

    Instagram was updated a couple of days ago. I'm guessing they got a lot of backlash from posting about opening in July, then September, so they're waiting until they're actually open to post.

    Hotel with two bathrooms?

    For a variety of reasons, I'm looking for recommendations for a hotel with 2 bathroom. It's just me, my husband and my 23 year old daughter, but we are all introverts and like having our space and she's 23 and spends forever in the bathroom showering and getting ready. Currently looking at the...

    Vaccinated women TMI thread

    I had Moderna. I haven't had a period in 15 years. I was on the 3 month cycle of birth control pills due to migraines during my week off. So I'd do 11 weeks on, 1 week off, and should have had a period during the week off but it just slowly got lighter and lighter until I stopped bleeding at...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    I’m in a DCP parent group and the mood there was that it was a long way off because Disney had to recall all laid off Full and Part time cast members before they could hire anyone else. But just in the last week Disney has started posting job openings for Part time quick service, merch...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    We are taking my 21 year old daughter and I just switched to a suite at AoA because I need the 2 bathrooms. She takes forever to get ready in the morning. We were booked at Gran Destino and the bathroom setup there was not going to work for us, so I started looking for 2 bathroom options. I have...

    Another stimulus question

    I filed ours because we inherited some money that was counted as income in 2019 and didn't get full checks last year. We did get the difference taken off our tax bill for our 2020 taxes. But our 2020 income also falls below the cut off threshold so I wanted to get that on record. Our daughter...

    A New Trip Full of New Memories...Hopefully It Happens! - July 2020 PTR (Completed)

    We also cancelled our Florida trip, which was necessary because Kansas requires a two week quarantine for anyone coming back from Florida and no one could afford an extra two weeks off. We did go to Branson in late June, though, and stayed at a timeshare resort, so we had our own place with a...

    Magic Exists, a July 2020 PTR

    I super hate it and as our departure day gets closer and closer (one week from today), I get sadder and sadder. Probably not helping that we've been having an HP movie marathon on the weekends and we're finally on Dealthly Hallows 1. I cannot believe how the FL numbers keep growing. I know...

    Third Time's The Charm At The DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM Fall '19! (COMPLETE - 8/14)

    Aw Timmy. I hate that everything has changed so much, but I also believe in living a life with purpose and it sounds like you’re finding yours. Theme parks or not, you’ll find your place. I’m gonna hang out in the DCP parent group on FB a bit longer. My girl is hoping now for Fall 2021, but...

    Just an update... Kansas put Florida on our quarantine list, meaning if we go on the trip, we'd have to quarantine for two weeks after we return. None of us is able to do that at this time, so we have to cancel the trip. We hope to rebook in the next year or two. So there's the end of this story.

    Newbie - 2 Park Tickets, and Understanding, from a Disney POV

    Uber/Lyft for transportation. Mears may have a shuttle. If you have your own car, that would likely be easier and cheaper, even if you pay for parking. There is a park-to-park option, which is the equivalent of a hopper at WDW. It's not an add on, but a specific type of ticket. They have 2 park...

    Anyone else worried about Universal closing again?

    I'm not as concerned about this (I don't think the state/county/city will want them to close again) but I am worried that my state will put Florida on the quarantine list. Our trip is me and my husband and our adult daughter. Both of them are expected back at work the day after we return, and...

    From Enemies To Lovers: My First Year As A UOAP! '19/'20 (CLOSED - 6/21)

    Timmy, I'm loving having you over here and reading about your experiences at UO. I hope you do get back to UO... and how much fun would scare actor auditions be?!? Especially with your theater background. We'll likely have another near miss. Fun story for those reading -- Timmy and I were both...

    Oh, I love the Pro Max already. I begged for it for Mother's Day thinking I'd use it for our WDW trip, but again... we all know how that goes. But just the low light capabilities and front selfie portrait is worth it for me. I am a sometimes scrapbooker and I did A Week in the Life right after I...

    Magic Exists, a July 2020 PTR

    The Hotel Dilemma In the last chapter, I wrote about our 2012 experience at Royal Pacific Resort. For those who are new to Universal, you may not realize that in 2012, the only onsite Universal options were the deluxe hotels. We stayed in the cheapest room at the cheapest hotel with our family...

    Magic Exists, a July 2020 PTR

    I try to strike a balance between comfortable and stylish, but I'm thinking in the Florida heat, my workout type capris may be a better choice because they'll dry faster if they get wet and won't be as hot. Are we down to 4 weeks now? We leave a week from tomorrow to drive to South Dakota to see...
