thanks to the disboard crew

The boards look great, yes it will take some time to get use to it but it looks great. Also like to thank the Disboards crew for the past couple weeks. You are so right when mentioning Disneyland. We have been frequent visitors to the Florida parks but this past Christmas we flew out for our first trip to California and had the best trip ever. We also got to see the Rose Bowl Parade, San Diego among other things. Yes we saw the parks at 10 out 10 but we used the touring plans that helps you plan out your day and we almost saw everything we wanted to see. Yes the tip is stay onsite, do early morning and you can get a lot accomplished in that one hour. I agree if you have never seen Disneyland it is a must thing to do. We are planning our next trip so when my wife gets employed again we will go back for another trip. My wife is not a fan of the Disney parks but she actually had the best time ever and wants to go back. So thanks for all the work you do each week to provide us with all of this knowledge and entertainment.

On a 10 out of 10 day, Extra Magic Hour was probably beneficial to you, but most times, if you stay off-site and just get there at regular rope drop you will beat 90% of the locals and still get a ton done. Don't lock yourself into staying onsite, especially if the cost is keeping you from planning another trip to Disneyland. There are plenty of great off-property places to stay, some are an even closer walk than the Disneyland Hotel or Paradise Pier Hotel.

I've been reviewing lots of the off-property Good Neighbor Hotels and your Dreams Unlimited Travel Agent [shameless plug] would be happy to book that for you.

What Tom said! I've only ridden Radiator Springs Racers twice, but both times I got in line, rode, and got off the ride in 25 minutes. The first time we hit the park at rope drop. Opened at 8:00am and we were in line at 7:30am. It was an Early Entry day so there were already onsite guests in the park but it seriously didn't matter.

Second time we stayed onsite and used EE. EE began at 7:00am and we were in line at 6:40am. Again, absolutely no problem getting on. Incidentally, the following day we used EE to get into Disneyland Park. We owned the place. You know those commercials that have people happily skipping down an empty Main Street, U.S.A., and you think "It never looks like that!" Well, at 7:00am it does.

Tom, are you going to review the Best Western Park Plus Inn and Mini Suites? That has been our go to off property hotel for years.

I keep checking, but it sells out a lot. It's not available for my next trip (OR the trip after).

Dang! Bad luck, I guess. When people ask me which off property hotel they should book, I ask them first if they are 1) rope-drop-to-closing-in-the-park people or 2) go-back-to-the-hotel-for-a-swim people. If they say 1) I tell them to go for the BWPPI&MS. If they say 2) I tell them the Howard Johnson Anaheim.
