I'm pretty sure they are talking about a different one.

It's only one way

Did you know about the 3 Fences at Disneyland? It's said that the older fence in the background might be the one from the year 1956.

Still confused and I stayed there back in 2010 and thought I roamed all around that hotel. Any pics?

Thanks I posted the same question on the GCH thread and someone actually had a video of the entire walk to Disneyland from the hotel. Quite impressive. Thanks for the help!

Just back and realized not everyone knows the following:

1) When walking from Paradise Pier in DCA and heading to TOT - cut through a Bug's Land...sooo many folks apparently unaware and take the long way around...

2) On Soarin' - you can ask for a "Row 1" seating ("B1" is center of the 3 sections)...worse case you wait one cycle...worth it if you find dangling feet in front of you distracting...

3) Dole Whips - if you go into Tiki Room waiting area to order your DW vs. waiting in the line outside - you'll save yourself some time...depending on the time of day - considerable time...(the turnstile into the area rotates both ways - so a tactful exit is easy...)

4) Your fastpass is good past the end time (thought this was common knowledge by now) - but only on the day issued (tried to offer 2 extra TOT fastpasses to a couple who wouldn't accept them because of the end time...happily offered to another couple who graciously accepted and saved 45 mins of waiting...)

Similarly, we always ask for front row seats on Indy. Usually you just have to wait for one cycle of cars to load. Worst case is two cycles, if another party made a similar request ahead of you (so don't use this hint if we're behind you in line )

this is newer so many people don't know about it, great tip!!

I don't know if this is exactly true, but I've heard that A Bug's Land is supposed to be the grass/lawn outside of the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Makes sense, but again, I don't know if that was intentional.

Yep, we were told this during our Segway tour in DCA. It was an attempt to make the two seem to flow together...especially once they opened the walkway between the two.
