    Iger is back and Chapek is out...

    This. I was a life-long, solid, hard-core Disney fan - emphasis on the “was”. It was an easy break-up with little to no regrets. While I’m thrilled he’s gone the damage has been done, and it’s too deep to remove and make amends. Unless the clock could be rolled back to before Chapek’s time as...

    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    We’re in the process of planning our first trip, hopefully the first full week in February 2022 - we’re planning on getting APs to get the room discount. So, if I’m reading everything correctly - we should book our hotel, check for rate changes, then pray for a AP rate. We’ll plan on getting...

    Why don't people use FastPass?

    I was at DLR the first week of August with my son. The parks weren't crazy busy, but busy. What totally baffled us was that people weren't using FastPasses. For example, the line at Splash Mountain was over 2 hours, which isn't surprising. So, we went to get FPs, which were to be used in ...

    Will I be disappointed in Disneyland?

    In a word: No. You'll fall madly in love with Disneyland.

    Where are you staying on your next Disneyland Trip and Why?

    We just returned from a 3-night stay at Camelot Inn & Suites. I wasn't thrilled that when I changed my reservation dates the cost per night jumped $20, but I was too lazy to look around for another less-expensive room. I didn't care that there wasn't breakfast since I'm very limited on what...

    Running at the rope drop -- why I hate it

    Goodness. Glad the daughter saw the error in Mom's ways. I was at DL last week at rope drop at Tomorrowland. Most people were walking; it was the peeps at the back of the herd who were running around everyone (as in most of the crowd) who was walking. My DS & I just kept walking our brisk...

    WOC without fastpass

    We were just there last week, on Thursday. My DS decided at the last minute to watch WOC (while we were in the park) and at 9:00 am they were still distributing FPs for the first show. We ended up getting tickets for the second (and last) showing at 8:45 pm, and they had plenty left for the...

    WOC last minute decision help! eek!

    We are at California adventure. My son just told me he wanted to see world of color, and I know the fast passes will most likely be all out. Does anybody have any tips as to how to see it without having to wait 2 to 3 hours to do so? Thank you very much!

    Super Shuttle tipping question

    I'm going to be booking a Super Shuttle from Burbank Airport to Disneyland. When booking they leave a spot for tipping. They put in 18% gratuity and you can add/subtract from there. There will be two of us with two small bags. I haven't taken a SS for years, but I'm also not thrilled to tip...

    Favorite comfortable, supportive sandals for all that walking?

    I've had success with the Crocs sandals, something like the photo below. I have a wide foot and high arch, and my feet are comfy all day long. The bonus is that if they get wet from a ride, they won't get ruined. Sorry, I couldn't get the photo to show up for some reason, so here's the link...

    Where are you staying on your next Disneyland Trip and Why?

    I'd say it's postage stamp size. There was a group of 5 kids in it when we arrived, and they dominated the whole pool with their activities. They weren't being obnoxious, but you couldn't find a place to relax, so we just stayed out. We are only stay three nights since it is all our budget...

    Where are you staying on your next Disneyland Trip and Why?

    Here's our experience with the Disney-area hotels. We used to stay at the Ramada Maingate (now Grand Legacy) when we first started bringing the kids when they were young (starting 2003). The prices then were fantastic, but they continued to raise the price until we were priced out. The pool...

    Disneyland Resort for the 4th Weekend? Are We Crazy?

    I could be wrong, but whenever I've been there before the 4th (1-3, never on a weekend, only weekday), there seems to be less people. Busy, but not packed. I think many wait for their first day to be the 4th, then stay afterwards rather than arriving earlier. It's been a few years, so things...

    Where are you staying on your next Disneyland Trip and Why?

    We're staying at the Camelot this coming August. We've never stayed there before, but we got a good deal and it's close! We spend every minute of the opening hours inside the parks, so why spend a lot of money on something that is literally for sleeping? We also don't care about not having a...

    What's there to do in Southern Florida during Spring Break, other than Disney?

    Thanks so much for all these suggestions so far! I love the idea of a glass bottomed boat ride. DD would want to snorkel. Me, I'm a wimp. I don't swim in water with fish. :rolleyes1
