    Wait times seem high today - anyone in the parks today that can verify this?

    Postings for wait times are sometimes inaccurate but on July 12, we timed our lines for both Space Mountain (posted 45 min) and Smuggler's Run (posted 50 min). Both lines were spot on accurate. Some rides you can eye ball the line because it is mostly visible or the end of it is visible and you...

    Boarding Groups...why is it like this?

    The same thing happened to me, and I did talk to guest services about it. I argued that I had paid for my ticket and I had made a reservation for the park for that day. Why did it matter what time I needed to enter the park by? Their response was that they did not want guests who may not show up...

    Wait times seem high today - anyone in the parks today that can verify this?

    The parks are not empty. They are busy, and without FP/Maxpass, waits are long. Today, 7/13, was our third day in the parks. Being a Tuesday, with the least expensive one day ticket available, it was definitely more crowded than yesterday, and it rivaled Sunday's crowds. Waits for E ticket...

    Official Avengers 2017

    I've done a half marathon at Disneyland, but this year my daughter and I are running the Thor 10K. Can someone describe the course for the 10K? I've seen a map, but can someone give me a sense of where it begins and what lands you run through? How much of the run is outside the parks...

    Official Avengers 2017

    I am looking to register for the Thor 10K. The Run Disney site still lists it as open, with an active registration link, but when I click on it, the only options are the half marathon and the Gauntlet challenge. Should I take this to mean that the 10K is sold out? Any other options for me if...

    Time to get new FP changed?

    This was our experience yesterday. It caught me by surprise. I now have to pay attention to the fp reminder card to see when I can get a new fp. Even the CM either didn't know about it or couldn't explain it. They said they were told to tell guests they need to wait 2 hours before they could...

    Fast Pass, Max Pass, Instant Return...HELP :)

    I don't know what it will be like next week when Max Pass starts, but I want to clarify about when you can get a new fp. Yesterday, with instant fp, I was able to pull a fp that opened 5 min after I pulled it. I assumed I could then pull a new one for another ride once my window opened. I was...

    American trying to book on the UK site

    Thank you for this information and the link. I had read that and am still unclear whether or not this package allows refunds or not. I cannot find that information specific to this offer.

    American trying to book on the UK site

    I've read here that anyone can book on any country's site, but I still have questions. I am an American and have found a UK deal I want to book. When I move through the booking process online, I am asked for my address, and the screen shows UK as my country of residence. What will happen if I...

    Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy

    My entire family hates Ghost Galaxy. It actually soured us on visiting DLR during Halloween time because that ride is normally our favorite in the park. I disagree that the images are "cheesy." They are realistic and scary. They are not cartoon ghost images or the transparent ghosts of...

    DL tickets bought on Orbitz dates

    Because many of us are traveling from long distances and are buying airplane tickets at the same time. Usually you book early for airfares to get the best deal. Plus, buying airfare is often a make or break decision. Once you buy airplane tickets, it is very hard and costly to change dates...

    DL tickets bought on Orbitz dates

    I have first hand experience with this situation. I bought tickets for a week in July. We ended up going a week earlier than planned, so I showed up at the ticket booth at 1pm with my voucher in hand. The CM told me the tickets were not yet in the system and to call Orbitz. I left the...

    Non "prime" spot suggestions to see Paint the Night....

    We were there July 14, and by 8pm there were no sitting OR standing spots, and I mean NONE, between the entrance of the park and the entrance to Fantasyland by the Matterhorn (including the spots by the Alice restrooms)That's as far as we walked when we gave up and went home. The next night we...

    Cab. We just did this last week. We only had three people, but all of the taxis in the taxi line were the minivan type that seat at least 5 people. $50 with tip.

    Cheap tickets dates

    Just last week I redeemed tickets bought from Orbitz, which I guess is affiliated with Cheap Tickets. Yes, Disney very much looks at the dates. I spent almost two hours last week at the DLR ticket counter trying to get my tickets a week before my dates. I was successful, but only because of...

    Special 60th Photo ops

    We were here all week. Prior to today, the actual 60th anniversary, the only two diamond celebration photo spots were in Frontierland and by the Matterhorn. These are marked on the Disneyland maps. Today, July 17th, they added many new photos ops, including by the Haunted Mansion and in...

    Dinner reservations

    Regarding the Carnation Cafe, I absolutely agree with the PP. We visited Carnation Cafe twice this week, and we needed our reservations both times. Today, being the actual 60th anniversary, reservations were a must , as they took no walk ups at all. But even a few days ago, waits for walk ups...

    Crowds at DL today - any closures

    This afternoon was surprisingly uncrowded, at least compared to the past two days. As a pp said, it seemed like the crowdest time of day was 10am through 2pm. By 3:00 the walk ways were much less congested. Clearly people came early and left early, as opposed too normal day when crowds arrive...

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

    I Also talked to many CM's today about plans for tomorrow. Some said they hadn't been told anything, but as the day went on, I learned more. I heard that new photos stations will be set up around the park with a 50's theme. There will be many "surprises," but I didn't learn more about those...
