    Universal Studios rides that are too intense for little kids

    My youngest daughter was 7 yrs old and went on everything and nothing was "too scary" for her other than she was a bit afraid of the heat from the "earthquake" on the tram (there is explosions and fire) because it was really hot near her. Otherwise, definitely depends on the individual chjld.

    City Pass and FOL pass for USH question

    I cant answer your question specifically but FYI, we bought our FOL passes at the gate entrance at UH about 2 hrs after opening and we still got the FOL and it was mid-August. I also thought the passes were totally worth it, although expensive, because with 3 kids in August heat and crowds you...

    Front of the line pass at Universal

    We used the FOL passes 2 yrs ago and it was worth it. USH was not my favourite but my older kids loved it. We went on the big rides many times, and it got us into the shows first as well. It was August and very busy so I was really glad we did it. An example of the difference between regular...

    Ooops, I do want to express that although I didnt care for it, like I said in my previous post, my daughters loved it.

    Has anyone done Ariel's Grotto Princess meal?

    Totally worth it for little girls, probably not for you "bigger" gals. My daughters loved seeing the princesses, and didnt really pick up on the fact that they were robotically rushed throught the joint. The food is pretty mediocre especially for the price. The princesses did their best...

    Wearing Disney Costumes @ DL

    My daughters both dressed in costume at DL. My one dd wore her Tinkerbell costume 3 times! My other dd was just too hot. I saw some girls dressed as Minnie Mouse and they looked ADORABLE! I would bring the costume, and if she doesnt end up wearing it, no big deal, but I am sure she will want...

    Vegetarian Dining?

    I am a vegetarian (not vegan) and I actually lost weight on my last trip because of the lack of good veggie dishes. I mostly ate salad, and pretzels from the pretzel place in DTD. The best veggie dishes I had were at Tortilla Jo's (quite a variety that they can make into vegetarian), the...

    Airport Bus - What has been your experience

    We were at LAX last week and took the Airport Bus to our hotel. I guess it was Coach USA, but I didnt know, my travel agent called it the Airport Bus. It was a big bus with Disneyland Characters painted on the outside. It came withing 15 mins of our arrival and picking up our luggage and took...

    Was at DLR Aug-14-22- a few things I wanted to mention

    It was very hot on the last day we were there. Over 100degrees, but very nice upper 80's the rest of the time. We loved hanging out at the Neverland Pool. It was definitely a highlight. We all would love to get to Knott's Berry Farm next time around. We also couldnt get enough of Space...

    Can you take food in to Disneyland?

    Sorry I wasnt very clear. What the lady said was no glass, like no large glass jars of mayo. You could bring mayo if not in a glass jar!

    Can you take food in to Disneyland?

    Yes, we took snacks, and bottled water into the park, and into Universal Studios. They check your bags when you enter DL and we were told water and snacks are okay, but they dont want you bringing glass bottled drinks, or mayo. HTH.

    Was at DLR Aug-14-22- a few things I wanted to mention

    We had such a great time. We were warned about crowds in August, but they were never a problem for us. We didnt wait for a ride longer than 15 mins, with the exception of one 20 min wait for Indy, one time. We went on every ride MULTPLE times (we were there for 8 days mind you!) by utilizing...

    Luggage pick-up at LAX

    We arrived at LAX at 10:45 am and had our luggage by 11:00! We caught the Airport Bus, and were at Disneyland Hotel, by noon. It wasnt too busy in the airport, and at least where we arrived you went straight down the escalator to pick up your luggage and out the door next to that for the bus...

    Can you book USH once you arrive at DL?

    We are in DL for 8 nights(9days) and want to do something else. Our family is divided over exactly what to do. I want the beach, girls was Sea World, the boys (men) want Universal Studios. Once we get to DL is it simple to book a tour for somewhere through your hotel? We are staying at DLH...

    Need Info Please / Little girls wish

    I am so sorry to hear about this little girl. I cant figure out why her dr. would think the MaWF couldnt grant her wish in enough time. That is what they deal with all the time. Time restraints, and urgent granting of wishes if needed. That is truly the best hope for meeting Hilary Duff...

    Average of how much spending/day$$

    I am trying to figure out spending money. I have searched this forum, but am coming up empty. For a family of five (2 adults, 3 kids aged 7,8 and 11) does anyone have any idea of the amount of money I should budget for spending each day. We are there for 9 days. Initially I thought...
