We drove in on a Saturday Morning to try and catch opening. We expected that hour drive that Mapquest said it would take and it was more like an hour and 30 minutes. Now we did have to make a stop at a rest stop during the trip and the rest stop was incredibly busy so that added at least 10...

We prebought our tickets at the Universal studios website. You can print them out at home that way and there is a discount to do it this way.

Well we chose Universal over Knotts for DS11 DS7 and DD4 and they all had a great time. DD loved meeting Dora and spent a lot of time at the NickJr playground though. Both DS's absolutely loved the rides. However I would like to suggest another place to consider. We took them all to...

I did see Mickey and Goofy and goofy's son Max at DCA that day and the map did show places for characters but I think besides Ariel I don't know that there are many Princesses. We didn't get over to the Bugs life area but I would imagine a lot of those characters are there too. From what I saw...

We stayed off site for this trip and I stayed at the DL hotel as a kid and to be honest I didn't see that much difference in the room. The grounds were a lot nicer at the DL hotel but like Mary jo pointed out you are right across the street from DL and downtown disney so you can definately get...

yep we just got back and it was a Kiosk. Really, not much to see. We took in our quests to get the prizes. One thing to note. There are some prizes for shopping at the DL shops so you are probably best to go find out from VMK which shops they are so you can remember to ask as we didn't and...

DCA is Disney California adventure. The other Disneyland park right next to Disneyland. Craftylady.

We found them by the castle mainly but they also like the entry to Disney. I found it worth while to ask the cast member that is accompanying the princess when your favourite princess will be out. We did that for Cinderella. Unfortunately we got stuck at DCA so we missed her :guilty: my...

We just got back yesterday and since we were traveling with young children the 10:30 fantasmic show was not an option. We found a pretty good spot to watch the 9pm show about 45 minutes in advance. A cast member told us to go near the towers as they get raised up and you can see past the post...

Thank you so much everyone for this info. We will also be using the EE on Tuesday the 23. I was wondering the exact same thing and now I have an itinerary. Craftylady

We are a family of 5 and have the Embassy Suites booked for a week next week. I checked out trip advisor and they rated pretty high and their price was pretty good. They have a free breakfast and a managers event in the evening providing free drinks and snacks. I will definately post back...

We are leaving for disney in 8 days!! woohoo. :Pinkbounc We have decided to rent a car and probably drive to DL from our hotel as the parking fee and the shuttle fee is pretty similar. What I would like to know is if there is a shuttle going from the far ends of the parking to the entry...

We are going to be at DL in late August and I am very allergic to Bees. What I would like to know is will I have problems bringing my allergy kit/epipen into the park since it has a needle? Also what is the first aid station like at Disney? Would they be helpful if.... heaven forbid I am...

I have been away from this board for a long while so it took me a long time to find this post! This place is getting busy. Thanks for the great input everyone. This is the first trip to Disney for all three kids so we are excited! :banana: Craftylady

I have seen a few comments on the Homewood Suites and I know it is a Hilton property as well. What about the Embassy? We got a rate of $119 a night for two queen beds in one bedroom and a pull out sofa in the living room. I have noticed rates have gone up since so I am happy that we booked...

I have three kids and found the same problem with many sites. The thing I found was that many hotels will accommodate you but many of these hotel booking places seem to only consider a family of 4. What I did was go directly to the website for the hotels that interested me and then tried...

We are bringing our Family of 5 to Disney the end of August and I am now trying to figure out transportation from LAX. From what I am seeing the lowest price to take a shuttle or bus from LAX to the Disney area is about $15 a person which is quite pricey when multiplied by $5. I am also...

I was very tempted by that rate too as I have a family of 5 to get out there but someone posted this link of reviews of that place and I am not so sure now. Here is the link...

Thank you so much for this post! I have shortlisted my hotel choices and this one is in the list. Seeing pictures that are not expressly for their advertising materials really helps. How far from Disneyland is it? Could you walk rather than take the shuttle? Audrey

I am considering LaQuinta Inn and Suites or Hampton Inn and Suites I have a really good price from Expedia for LaQuinta so I am leaning that way but am wondering what the place is really like. Any other suite type places out there that cost in the $100 per night range we have a family of 5...
