Southern California and Disneyland Adventure

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

We leave on June 5. Imagineering and WOC viewing are not included in our Adventure Handbook. They also replaced the Storybook Cafe breakfast with Pym’s Test Kitchen.

So what do they have instead of Imagineering? Still the academy museum?

Yes, still the Academy Museum. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we get to go inside the Studio buildings and Archives.

I can understand Imagineering but WOC seems like easy to include when it is on the website still.

Pym Test Kitchen? Isn't that a quick service (albeit themed and unique) and Storytellers Cafe a character breakfast?

That is correct, unless they have something special for the trip. Maybe some Marvel characters.

What is scheduled for the last night, when WOC usually happens?

 

[stout]

Here is what it says for the last afternoon/evening. Yeah, I’m not excited about breakfast at Pym Test Kitchen, especially as we have a gluten restriction in our family (options for GF are very little).

Lunch and Afternoon On Your Own at the Disneyland Resort​

​

Spend the rest of your afternoon on your own, enjoying more of the exciting activities at both Parks.

Farewell Dinner​

​

Bask in the memories of your Southern California experience as you enjoy a special farewell dinner at the Disneyland Resort, exclusively for you and your newfound friends!

Thank you. I hope they still offer Genie+ seating, even if it isn't as a group.

Woohoo! This is about half my reason for the tour, with going backstage at Disneyland and DCA the other half.

Just a question, do they have viewing for the main street electrical parade or fantasmic? I can’t find any dining packages for the 2 days we are staying after so was wondering how much I should hunt these spots down

 

[emilymad]

Do you need to make park reservations? I assume not for the days with ABD but what about for the last day?

I just finished the trip on Friday. After our arrival dinner we were all invited to a VIP viewing area for Main Street Electrical Light Parade. I'm not sure about Fantasmic since it wasn't re-opened yet.

 

[Candycane83]

That’s great to hear! I hope they do that for us!

They handled park reservations for everyday included in the ticket. If you buy any additional tickets, you will need to make the reservation.

There was an email that went out post handbook that said Imagineering has been added back in. If you did not receive that please contact AbD. I have clients going on that same trip and we both received this email.
Sorry… I hit respond and then realized this has been answered.

We've enjoyed that ABD trip 5 times now. You can't go wrong with it.

Wow! We're booked already for September (will be our first ABD!) but could possibly change to the July or October bookings to join the Dis podcast group. But is there a difference in the itinerary or benefits? It's a little more expensive.
