tbgmom said:Me too! We'll be in CA April 16-21, and have 4 day park hoppers we'll use the 17-20. We're staying at the Fairfield Inn.
We're hoping the crowds aren't too bad, but considering our last visit to the DLR was between Christmas & New Years 3 years ago (with only 3 days in the parks) and we still had a great time, I'm thinking that 4 days during spring break won't be too bad. And hopefully, like someone said earlier, this will be a less busy spring break week.
I'm very excited, but we haven't told our kids yet (will let them know a couple of weeks before we go since 2 of the 3 don't do well with surprises & sudden changes in plans & routines) so I get my Disney fix here.
So, now that the dining ressies are getting made, what are everyone's plans?
We have Chef's Counter at Napa Rose (there is no word in any language to express my excitement), Carthay Circle, Blue Bayou, a character breakfast at the Plaza Inn, and possibly Jazz Kitchen (arrival night) planned.
So far, here's what we're thinking for dining (our first day is 3/31, so I can start booking these tomorrow!):
3/31 (Easter dinner) - World of Color dinner - Wine Trattoria
4/1 Blue Bayou lunch
4/2 lunch Big Thunder Ranch
4/3 - Ralph Brennan Jazz Kitchen (I think exposing the kids to a jazz bar type environment would be pretty cool)
4/4 lunch - Carnation Cafe or Cafe Orleans
4/5 - lunch - Carthay Circle?
Any inputs on these from anyone? Is Carthay Circle any good? Would you prefer Carnation or Cafe Orleans? Thanks!
We will be there from March 14-21 and staying at the HOJO. Following along since any tips or help is great. Last time I was there was in 2000. Hope since we are at the beginning of Spring Break it won't be as bad.
We'll be there the same time as you and are also from BC (Langley). Where abouts do you live? Are you flying or driving?
You will have so much fun! There is so much to see and do. I recommend reading through the stickies at the top of the board. Other than that, it really depends on how you like to vacation. Many people on here prefer to plan every detail as they want to squeeze in as much as possible. Others, like us, prefer to plan a couple of things but other than that, just take the days as they come. I find it too stressful to have every meal and every ride planned.
Things that are good to familiarize yourself with are things like the Fastpass system, restaurant options, scheduled events, attractions, etc. It can all be searched for on here or go right to Disney's site too. Carsland wasn't open yet when we last went so we're so excited to see that.
I highly recommend the Aladdin show. We all loved it! World of Colour is good, but lots of planning is needed. We're going to skip it this year and see Fantasmic! instead. WOC is worth seeing once though.
