First Trip - Many Questions!

My suggestion is, when you get closer to your vacation date, you might want to consider ordering a few cases of water from the store, along with other goodies and have them delivered to your room. With the dry heat, you will go through water, or other beverages quickly. One person from here posted a site over a year or two ago about aqua clips. These handy pieces of plastic holds a water bottle securely on your waste band. Everyone can carry their own bottle of water and your hands are free! (More water for everyone). One bottle of water is $3.00! That is close to what a case of water costs. You can get the packets of Kool Aid, Crystal Lite, Lipton Tea, to add to the water too! Don't forget the sunscreen and chapstick too!
I say get the 5 day passes, and open and close the park. During the day, swim and nap! LOL
Have a great time planning!

This is great info....Now where can I find out about the different restaurants and character meals offered at DL? When you stay at a good neighbor hotel do you get to get in early? Even if you don't book it through Disney? And do they have late hours too?

A good place to look at the restaurants and character meals is at here: Allears Disneyland Menus. It includes information on the character meals and gives you an idea of what's served at all the restuarant locations. Don't miss Blue Bayou inside the Pirates of the Carribean attraction!

You only get a Magic Morning (early entry) when staying at a Good Neighbor hotel if you buy a 3 Day (or more) Park Hopper. If you are staying on-site at Paradise Pier, Disneyland Hotel, or Grand Californian, you will be able to do Magic Morning each day it's offered (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday usually). DLR doesn't have late hours like WDW.
