Just AN FYI, the return time for mobile ordering at Jolly Holiday was crazy. I'd peek at like 8am-ish and it was always 3pm+

Thanks so much! We are driving over from Phoenix; should hopefully be in the parks around 3-ish.

I noticed on the Disneyland website that single park tickets to DL are sold out for this coming Friday thru Sunday. Park Hoppers starting in DCA are available Friday or Sunday but are currently sold out for Saturday. Does this mean the Parks are going to be at max capacity? I will be there Sunday!

Yes, the parks will be very busy. This weekend is the Candlelight Processional. Sunday is the last Sunday Believe MK holders can visit this year.

Thanks! I knew it would be crowded but I was surprised to see it sold out! I kind of figured that didn't happen too often outside of the two weeks during Christmas and Spring Break! I will be prepared for bonkers busy.

Tonight we went to the Mickey's Christmas Carol Feast. The Characters were great. The food was just okay. The Butternut Squash Ravioli was wonderful though!

 

[BriannaRuth]

Love butternut squash ravioli. What is that on top of it?

They had a nutty flavor but I'm not sure what they were But it was yummy! Wish I had seen them earlier in the meal!!

Oh, I bet they're pine nuts! They looked a little dark for pine nuts, but maybe if they toasted them they would be brown like this and that's definitely a pine nut shape.

I went to the first show on Saturday! I had friends that got some of the benches in the general area and had them staked out all day. I was there early and chatted and then rode a few rides. Then I headed out to see both parents (one in hospital (very long story) and the other at a Board and Care facility). When I got back, I was able to point out the group and where my friends were who vouched so they let me back in the area. I had a great time with friends chatting until the show. I sat on the ground so really could only see some parts of the show, but I could hear everything. It was amazing as usual!!!

I got PLL, seems like the pricing is lower than last week so potentially low crowds? Not sure, but looking forward to it!

 

[BriannaRuth]

What do you get for PLL? I looked it up and evidently it's parking and lightning lanes? Anything special for LL or just regular LL passes?

Decided to surprise my wife for her birthday by doing a one day trip to Disneyland for her birthday to use the last day of our 3-day Costco tickets. Her birthday is the same day as our son’s graduation so we will fly out that night, go all day, fly home the next day. Using airline miles + hotel points for essentially a “free” day trip. Planning on letting her know the morning of her birthday.

Fun side story: because the Disney, Hotel and Airline accounts are all on her email, I had to login to her account and setup filters to “hide” anything from those places so she didn’t see the confirmations. I am a super hacker.

My wife admitted last night she figured it out last week. She had the same thought about the last day of our Costco tickets and went to look when they expired and saw the reservations. I’m a little relieved since I was conflicted on whether to tell her or not. Having something to look forward to can be part of the fun.

She brought it to last night because she worried that she had made the hotel reservation in the past and forgot about it and it needed to be cancelled by yesterday . She started second guessing that maybe I hadn’t planned it and she was going to be disappointed on her birthday. Thankfully I had good news for her.

We are coming Christmas Eve and have Le Cellier as dining pkg. We picked the 5pm show as our local HS is is singing. I couldn't decide between Eve or Day. As day is Joel David Smallbone (For King & Country). If he gets them to play their version of Drummer boy I will be so sad I missed it. For seating with a dining pkg - when do you get in line? Is it a long wait?
Merry Christmas everyone.
