Random little last minute questions...

[DumbosMagicFeather]

Hi there!
First off I wanna say thanks to everyone for answering all my question threads so far. It's made things a lot smoother. I just have a couple more questions as we get down to the final weeks before our trip...just little random things that have popped into my mind.

1.Does California Screamin’ have pouches in the front to store purses and such? Where do you put them otherwise? (thinking about the loop…) I was curious about Soarin too, but I figured that if anything you could leave items on the floor in front of your seats…

2.Someone in our group must must MUST see Cinderella. We have reservations at Goofy’s and we heard sometimes she is there. But if she’s not, and she’s not at the PFF, where else can we catch her?

3.Another person in our group is pooh-sized…will they be able to ride the Silly Symphony Swings, or is there a weight limit?

4.Our Goofy’s reservations are at 11:20 on Sunday. I know it’s a bit late but we wanted to get breakfast and lunch in, as they have foods for both…and since they’re open till two on weekends, is the character interaction still okay?

5. If we go to the second Fantasmic showing, how early should we show up to grab seats?

6.We’re arriving pretty late at the SNA airport…I mean, really late, past the time the Disneyland Resort shuttle is servicing. What other sorts of options will we have for getting us to the parks…? Are there taxi stations there? Since there’s five of us I’m thinking we would need a van-type of taxi.

Thank you all again!

2. Hmm...I believe she is usually at Ariel's Grotto if you want to do another character meal. Otherwise, she can sometimes be found at Drawn to the Magic Show in DCA.

4. The two times I went to Goofy's Kitchen, they were both around that time and the character interaction was great. All the characters made sure to go to every table at least once

5. The first F! show ends around 9:15pm-9:20pm and it is definitely wise to get there as the show ends if you want to sit down. Otherwise, if you get there around 9:45pm-10pm, you should still be able to find a spot to stand and watch it.

6. I always take Super Shuttle from SNA to DLR. It is $10/person each way but there are codes online for $2 off each way. You will need to book separately for each person but you don't need to worry as they are almost guaranteed to let your party stay together.

Have a great trip!

Yes they do. My little back pack fit. Soarin' has a 'pouch' under your seat that is plenty roomy.

3.Another person in our group is pooh-sized…will they be able to ride the Silly Symphony Swings, or is there a weight limit?

Don't know about the swings but I do know most rides are fine for pooh sized (or at least up to 250# sized) visitors (CS, Indy, SM, etc)

This is from Disneyland Scoop: There is now no weight limit on the attraction as there was originally when the Orange Stinger opened but guests who can not fit in the seat and lower the bar can not ride.

Hope this helps.

Yep, there are stretchy pouches in front of every seat. Your purse should fit in there if it is not too big. If not, you could also put your bag on the floor in between your legs. Apparently personal experience says the laws of physics will keep your bag in during the loop. But then again, you want to be on the safe side so the pouch should work

Soarin' also has a pouch that is underneath every seat. Yep, extra large bags can be put on the ground (maybe not directly in front of your seat, but in the aisles) and will stay there for the duration of the ride while you're in the air.

Cinderella is usually to the left side of the castle in the morning at specific times listed in the park entertainment schedule. She poses for pictures there.

Hi there!


5. If we go to the second Fantasmic showing, how early should we show up to grab seats?

I know from experience that it really depends on the direction you are coming from as to how early you can get there. I know that cast members block off the route from Big Thunder--literally they stand arm to arm to make a barricade. They won't move and let anyone new in the area until the fireworks are over and the first crowd is on their one way trek out. The area by Fantasmic gets extremely crowded. I'd suggest you scope it out and figure out where you can wait where you won't get stuck going one way in the wrong direction.

When my DD was almost 3, she was obsessed with Cinderella.....meeting her was a must for our trip. Someone suggested that we go see the Drawn to Anamation show in DCA.....on the stage outside the Muppets/Monsters Inc. ride (I believe the times were listed on the guide). I think the show might uses different princesses throughout the day, but we managed to see Cinderella on the first time. After the show (which was not crowded at all) the characters came down for meet and greets. The C line was very short, and DD got the hug she had been waiting for. This worked out much better (for us, anyway) than waiting in the long line at the Princess Fantasy Faire and hoping she would be there when we finally made it inside.

Also, in regards to the Drawn to Magic show, 3 kids are chosen to participate. DD8 was chosen and got to keep the sketch of Cinderella.

Wow, really? Too bad they don't pick adults...the person who has to see Cinderella is nearing her 50's XD

Thanks everyone for the help!

Theres a meet and greet after the show.

F!: right after the fireworks. Most from the first show will stay put for the fireworks.

GK: 11-11:30 is my favorite time to eat there. Lots if character interaction.

 

[DumbosMagicFeather]

I'm thinking that the Drawn to Magic Show is our best bet if she's not by the castle when we're there, as goldies said.

Another question that just popped up, from everyone in the group...we have our WOC reservations at Ariels Grotto. This is sort of an opinion question...but for anyone who's eaten there, what's your favorite dish to get there?
