    Couples Trip!!!

    Did you buy your contract direct from Disney? I've heard that if you book online they may be able to pull some strings for you, to get you the room that you want. Otherwise, last minute can sometime be a bit tricky. If you're willing to be flexible, and consider split stays, and can do studio or...

    Couples Trip!!!

    Fun! My husband and I are just getting ready for our first empty nest trip to Disney (although we've been tons with the kids)- will you be there during the fall? If so, definitely plan on Food & Wine- it's our favorite, and the reason we planned our trip when we did (since it always interfered...

    1 Day hopping- where to go for nighttime entertainment?

    We were at DL and DCA for 3 days for the 60th anniversary. We'll be headed back there after the 4th, but only for 1 day, and we'll be hopping to hit our favorite stuff in both. Are both of the parks doing special nighttime stuff with the new Pixar Pier, or only DCA? And if so, which is more...

    Universal tram tour- claustrophobia warning?

    I was looking through the Universal ride guide- I'm already guessing it's going to be a tough park for me as I get motion sick (as Universal Orlando was). I saw that on the tram tour, they also included a claustrophobia warning, though....My oldest daughter suffers from claustrophobia (had a...

    Thinking of driving- rooms along the way that accomodate 5?

    We're planning ahead for next spring break- we may have our daughters best friend with us, which would give us 2 adults and 3 teens. We may fly, but we're also thinking of driving. Does anyone know of any suites that would accomodate 5 (somewhere between Atlanta and Valdosta on the way down, and...

    Flying with an unrelated teen

    That was my thought, but when I looked at what was needed for an unaccompanied minor, I read that they needed name of parent picking up at both ends, so I wasn't sure...since we would also be driving her to the airport, and I started second guessing myself

    Flying with an unrelated teen

    We've invited our daughters best friend to come with us on our next trip. (we're still in the planning stages, so no flights booked, but we usually fly Southwest). They will be 17. Do we need to have documentation from her parents that we have permission to fly with her (domestic flight) and...

    Hollywood Tour

    Neither of those, but we did a combo tour with Anaheim Tour Company a few years ago, that included WB studies and a Hollywood tour- my teens enjoyed it.

    Sunday morning in LA?

    Just the morning. We're only planning on doing one- my biggest concern is whether any of these things will be completely dead on a Sunday morning (like, do people go to Venice Beach first thing in the morning, or is it only full of fun things to see in the afternoon. Same thing with the...

    Sunday morning in LA?

    This July, we'll be going to Southern California. We'll be doing Universal on Saturday, and then heading down to Disney Sunday afternoon/seeing the park on Monday. We're staying at Grand Californian, so we're wanting to enjoy the hotel on Sunday evening, but we're looking for something to do on...

    Still on the fence...have questions

    We've been toying with DVC for years. The biggest issue is that we don't go every year (every other, or sometimes every third...but usually every other), which makes figuring out value difficult. So I've been trying to figure out how much we would expect to spend when we go, and how much buying...

    Who is planning on being in Disneyland 7/17/2015?

    We were there Thursday and it was a mad house. They expected the park to close for capacity yesterday, anyone know if it did? (We spent the day on a thrill ride called "turbulent airplane ride" :( )

    Best tips for sectetly prepping a kid to go for the first time?

    Agreed. In our case, telling them they were going to the zoo was not a big deal- they've been many times before, but it was to get them not to complain that they had to get up and take me, rather than me driving myself and letting them sleep in their first day of Spring break. My SIL also told...

    Best tips for sectetly prepping a kid to go for the first time?

    We managed to take our girls on a surprise Spring Break trip to DisneyWorld a few years ago (they would have been 7 and 9, I think? We've been there a lot and it wasn't our first time). The thing that makes it all worthwhile, IMO is what you plan for the reveal. In our situation, I sometimes...

    What would you do in 1-2 days after Disneyland (July)?

    One thing I neglected to do was post the actual tour we were thinking of- it's the Anaheim Tour Companies Warner Bros. Studio and Moviestar Homes Tour https://anaheimtourcompany.com/product/combo-tour-warner-brothers-and-moviestar-homes/ which I found when I was expanding on the "if we do the...

    is flying into and out of LAX really that bad?

    Take this with a grain of salt, because I've only flown into and out of there on a connecting flight, and that was 10 years ago. The flight was....memorable, to say the least. We left Seattle in November, dressed accordingly, with our toddler, baby in a stroller, and car seats for both. Had a...
