My favorite place for special occasions is Nieport 17. It's in Tustin and will take you about 15 minutes to get there from Disney. It does have a strict dress code and reservations are required, but the food and atmosphere cannot be beat. I have been to the Chart house and the food is great...

I don't think it would eb bad at all if you flew at night and then spent the day relxing. Just make sure that you can check in when you arrive. You might even be able to spend part of the day at the parks or maybe go play mini golf, explore the hotels, downtown disney, ect... Have fun, Karen

Hi, I have flown the red eye from CA to Orlando twice and I really don't think I would do it again. We arrived at about 7:00 am and checked our luggage into the hotela nd headed to the parks. The first few hours were fine, but at about 11 am, I was so tired that I didn't care where I was. I was...

If you have a lot of patience and want a pretty drive, take the 101. However, expect a rather long drive. If you have the time to spend, it is beautiful. The 5 will get you to the bay area in 4-5 hours. I am not patient enough and usually take the 5. I went to college in the Bay Area and have...

I work at USH and it is not closed. There is however, a very large security presence and searches at the front entrance. I do not suggest bringing a large backpack or purse, try to minimize. They are also not allowing any outside food- at all- they are being very strict. Also be sure to remove...

Hi, I work for Universal Hollywood and yes, we do have a baby swap program. I am pretty sure that it works the same as Disney's Baby Swap. Just ask any employee to show you where the waiting area is and to explain the program to you. I believe Jurassic Park is the only one of our rides that...

Hi!!! I work for Universal out here in CA. I really think that if anyone has any problems at all with the park ( especially ones relating to poor signage or problems with disablity access) that a letter should be written to Universal Guest relations. I know that Universal does take comments very...

I work for Universal out here in CA and we measure the children with their shoes on. The only reason we might make them remove their shoes, is it they are obviously adding inches to the childs height. It is amazing the types of shoes parents will put on their children in order to have them make...

I work for Universal out here in CA and we defiantely do not raise the height markers. We actually check them witha measuring tape frequently. In fact, a lot of employees carry tape measures on them, just so we can measure Children who's parents are insistant on their child being tall enough to...

I took the transportation survey last May. I'm not sure about the results, but I said that I would have no problem paying a fee to use the transportation. I think a small charge is totally resonable, like 5.00 a day or something. - Karen

Hi!!! I live in Glendale and it takes me about 30-45 min to get to Disneyland. If you are leaving at 5:00, you should get there in plently of time for park opening. I;m not sure how early the park is opening now, but I would find out the official park opening time and leave an 1 1/2 hours...

I went on the backstage Safari tour last Jan and our tour guide told us they were building a south america section behind conservation station. The area was actually being cleared and a few architects were there at the time. - Karen

Thank you, Kari, for sharing your memories of Sylvia with us!

We went the first two weeks of May in 2000 and it was perfect!!! The weather was warm, without being too hot, no rain at all, very uncrowded...then we decided to go back the first week in January 2001...it was awful. It was absolutely freezing cold, miserable...the crowds were heavier than in...

Hi, I work at Universal out here in CA- so I have a lot of experience to pass on about restraints!!! This advice actually applys to anyone, but especially if you have a small child. The restraints that are the most tricky with children are the straight lap bars. The lap bars come down across the...

The Scorpion King is currently shooting out here in Universal Studios Hollywood. - Karen

I wrok for Universal out her ein CA and have a bit of advice- this is for anyone- but especially if your child is on the thin side...make sure thatthe lap bar or restrant doens't have too big of a gap ( so your child does not slde around too much, this could result in injury). Also make sure...

I think MaryJo ha a great idea. If you contact city Hall, the might even be able to arrange a special behind the scenes tour or something extra special. - Karen
