11 days and we will be getting off the plane and heading to DISNEYLAND!!! We are SO excited! Friday I will go and purchase our snack and last minute items!! Can't wait!!!!!!

 

[motherhoodandmickey]

15 more days for us! We'll be in the parks two weeks from tomorrow afternoon. Woo-hoo!

Just made our reservations for Goofy's Kitchen for Sunday May 6 yesterday - it sounded like they were still wide open for breakfast, in case anyone is debating it.

Oh, and I will be canceling our Ariel's Grotto breakfast on May 4 at 10.00 am (the day it opens again) - so there will be an opening there.

Question: with an almost 4yo dd what would be the best character meal? She loves all characters.

Plaza Inn Breakfast with Minnie has the most characters, as I understand. We loved it for our 4 year old. Unless she HAS to have princesses, than pick the princess meal (no princesses at Minnie's). And there is lots of singing and dancing at Goofy's.

Last trip DD was 2 and 4 months and we did Minnies and had a lot of fun. This trip DD will be a little over 3 1/2 and we are going to do AG princess lunch after BBB makeover. DD is huge into Princess now and changes her mind about which princess she wants to be almost daily.

Wow the hours are looking good for the last week of May. And the entertainment schedule is awsome. I was worried I would have to try and catch F! our first night after traveling the night before but now it looks like that isnt the case. Unless they change them which I hope and pray they dont.

Of course these hours also mean that DL is expecting larger crowds I am guessing. Oh well I can live with it. Ive been there when it was packed before (and close to 100 degrees) and did just fine.

Thanks! I was leaning to that one. She loves princesses but I think ths would be best. What's the best time? Earliest?

Um, I think 10:00 is good. You can stay for up to 1.5 hour I think. Grab a small snack in the early morning before you head out, go to rope drop, collect FPs and mess around for a while. Then eat a huge brunch.

Depends. If you go early you can get it out of the way but you also miss out on good ride time in the least busy part of the day.

If you do a late breakfast you might not get as much time with characters or they might start changing the food for lunch. And you also might be starving waiting for your breakfast time.

You might be able to get in before the parks official opening of you make your res on a MM day. I think you get in 50 min before park opening on MM days and that would give you time to eat and meet while only missing a little early park time (I would only do this if I didn't have a MM pass to use).

Question: with an almost 4yo dd what would be the best character meal? She loves all characters.

We are taking DD almost 3 back to Goofy's Kitchen on our trip. The character interaction and the food were both really good on our last trip - we saw Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale, Alice and the Mad Hatter. We actually had to wave him away, since DD's response was to hide under the table.

We've booked GK for the final morning of our trip, before we check out and drive back home. I like not having to take time out of park mornings, but breakfast is best option for us, with a 'morning' child. Hoping there will be a princess there this time, though - I understand there usually is, so we must have just missed her last time.

Hello everyone! I've been lurking for a while and I decided that I should post. My wife and I will be at the happiest place on earth from rope drop on May 8th until they kick us out on May 10th. We got a great deal on a room at Holiday Inn Anaheim Resort. I am so excited! I can't wait!

 

[PigletGurl]

Saving money today!! Just tried a new coupon code I found and got my one week car rental down to $200 instead of $250! And I found out we get 50% off at the SD Zoo with my hubby's airline ID. Sweet!

I am a frugal traveller....not sure why. I just like getting a great deal
