Hi, my name is Sharon. I am from Tucson, AZ. Family consists of myself, a husband, and a wonderful 6-yr-old son.
It was kind of a late decision for us but last weekend we decided to book our first ever Disneyland trip only about two weeks away. I booked through travelocity for three days(May 26, 27, 28). We got the Disneyland Hotel, flights into LAX, and 3-day park hopper. I have been browsing around the threads here and everyone seems so nice I figured I would join and ask a few question.
My first question is how does the "magical express" van work. I got a voucher to print out and as far as instructions it just has the location (next to baggage claim) and a phone number. Do I call this number when I get there, the day before, now even??? And am I going to have to wait long or are the vans pretty regular? Our flight gets in pretty early.
Which brings me to my second question. Can we check in that early at the hotel even though I am sure our room will not be ready yet? Will they at least hold our baggage while we are at the park until it is checkin time and we would be able to get our keys and put our stuff in the room?
Third question is about the monorail and getting into the park. The voucher for the tickets says we can trade them in for the real tickets right at the hotel when we get there so that is great. But do we have to enter the park from the front entrance or can you enter by the monorail entrance?
Thanks for any answers,
Sharon
