we should be able to see fantasmic an what ever else is just on weekends with Sunday an Friday in park.

6day park hopper
an our character meals will more then likely be from get away today.

I did have a question
I don't got a credit card i have a debit card that i use an have my signature on the back we have a letter from the person who has me on the account. Question is how will getaway today work?

I know I got pick up tickets an vouchers at guest services an Ill need my ID an I have that. But if i also have the letter do you think it will work?
(getaway today is a lot cheaper then disney it self.)

We are going to be using disney gift cards for a lot of things in the park.
we could also get prepaid debit cards if we need to

an after calling disney
it seems we save no money if we just get the 4day meal plan we would get to go to BB (an we do like it)
we would get to have some of our fav snacks.
our three charcter meals are paid for an 1 is almost paid completly so after talking it over well again it just works for us to get disney pluse disney takes the card an we could pay a bit off if we wanted to though out the year

YAY! You and I will be there at the same time!!! I am going from the 27th-5th. I am super pumped. Are you excited as me? Im bursting! Ive never seen it for Christmas.

Getawaytoday I usually book through, but I use my credit card. I never go directly through Disney. So much cheaper and GAT is fabulous. Are you wanting to prepay for park tickets and character dining? Because if you go through GAT they will want you to prepay for it. Once paid for GAT sends you vouchers for tickets, Dining etc by email, and also by regular post. Ive always paid with credit card, so I dont know if GAT has other payment options for you. I would give them a call and find out. Or if someone else who maybe going with you has a card you can borrow???

If you are able to prepay through GAT, then once on your trip, you go to the ticket booth at the Disneyland and present your ID and card used to prepay for the tickets. There they will hand you your passes.

If you are going to a Character meal you first off have to make reservations to these places (Reservations start 60 days prior to your vacation). You call Disney Directly at (714) 781-3463 and set a day and time. If you have not prepaid for your dinner through Getawaytoday, then you are able to pay however you want (Debit,Credit,Cash,Gift Cards) at the restaurnt. But if you want to prepay through Getawaytoday then you will need your prepaid voucher, the card you paid with, plus your ID.

ive been there for christmas i love it but last time well it was rainign so we diddnt do the tour we wanted to.

Yes gta might be cheaper but seeing that we would spend money on bb an stuff to the disneypackage works so far for us.

an im very happy an keep looking at things an see so many new things that wasnt there last time we were there an some things we didnt do/ that we can this time.

There are always new things. I just went 7 months ago and by the time I go back this November my head is going to be spinning with new things to see. New rides, parades, World of Color, even the new DCA turnstiles will up and running, and the CALIFORNIA letters will be gone. But there is so much construction going on in DCA right now, but a good portion will be done which is something new to see.

im so happy we will be able to go on little mermaid ride

i think woc will be awsome.
havent done the pixie hallow
or sleeping beautys walk though
an now tangled an i guess something with tron too wow so much.

The Little Mermaid ride is going to be amazing. I dunno if you read a more current Disneyland update that said, even though all the exterior of the building isnt done, the inside is completely set. All the characters and clam shells carts are in place. As soon as the exterior has been completed, then testing will start.

As for other rides, dont forget that the Star Tours ride is currently undergoing a massive refurb, set to open this spring. New movie and all. Star Tours been down for months now. So its exciting to know we can see something new. I wonder if the queue will be the same or if it will be comepletely changed to go with the new movie??? Im so curious to find out.

OH! Also the old Mahollands Madness in DCA is currentely being rethemed to "Goofy's Sky School" to also open in the spring. That's another ride you can check out!

wow there is so much ya star turs not being open last year was one of the many reasons we didnt go last year
