    1st Time Disneyland Trip Solo & Last Minute (9/11)!!!!

    It’s 3/2, but I have to be at the airport by noon on the third day, so I probably won’t get to hit a park.

    1st Time Disneyland Trip Solo & Last Minute (9/11)!!!!

    Just two days. At the Castle Inn because I got it for a very reasonable price and got one free night to boot. I didn’t get PH because of the Halloween party closing the park early. I didn’t know if it was worth it. I want to make sure I hit everything that makes Land different from World.

    1st Time Disneyland Trip Solo & Last Minute (9/11)!!!!

    Please hit me up with any advice, insight, best foods, best drinks (adult) and not to miss things. I have been to World so many times, but never Land. My girl's trip fell through and I used the credit to make a last minute Bucket List trip to Disneyland for two days. Husband and DS 18 have...

    Epcot on XMAS Day

    We are going Christmas Day late afternoon for CP and Dessert Party. See ya'll there. It will be crowded, but the Sea of Humanity will be less than that of MK.

    Which dessert party is best...after February 1st 2020?

    You do get priority seating for the show, it's during the actual party that they don't seem to have a lot of seating. Most of the reviews and pictures I have seen are of tall tabletops with no chairs. I've read up on the party as much as I can and that seems to be the overall seating at the...

    Which dessert party is best...after February 1st 2020?

    We haven't been to the Star Wars or Rivers of Light parties because we always attend during the Christmas Season and SW is replaced with Jingle Bell Jingle Bam. Our favorite has been Epcot. We like MK, but Epcot is by far our favorite. We considered ROL for our upcoming trip, but it showed...

    FOP

    I was able to get one for the week of Christmas by logging on early on the first day. I got it on the day I wanted (our only AK day), but it is mid-afternoon. So, you should be able to. I recommend making your FPs in order of difficulty, rather than arrival day, etc.

    OFFICIAL(ish) CANDLELIGHT PROCESSIONAL DINING PACKAGES INFO

    So, is it wrong that I booked 2 packages? I can't decide between Warwick Davis (my choice) or Edward James Olmos (DH's choice). I don't know that we will end up watching it twice, but....

    "Official" 2019 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party: Oh-So-Jolly Holiday Celebration

    We generally grab quick service at Cosmic Rays. If we can hit it during the dance party, that helps entertain the kids while we get ordered and such. I think it's called Club Tinsel.

    Help me choose a resort!

    We have stayed at WL and BC, and I can say both of these are great. The creepy clown always puts the Boardwalk lower for me, although I do want to stay there eventually. We ended up choosing the Yacht Club for this trip. On trips where we spend the bulk of our time at HS/EP, we find that the...

    Thinking about renting points, how to know if I won’t get scammed

    I have rented before from an individual and from a broker. I recommend going with the broker. While I did not end up having any problems with the individual, I had knots in my stomach all the way up to the day we checked-in. I didn't like the lack of security and didn't find it worth the...

    Arrival Day Restaurant

    Depends. Where are you staying? When we stayed at POFQ, we took the boat to Disney Springs and ate at Raglan Road, which was lovely. When we stayed at WL, we at at Whispering Canyon which was also great and fun. When we stayed at AKL, we went to Boma. This time, we are staying at the Yacht...

    Searching for specific food?

    Touring Plans menu finder was a life saver for us last trip. Our youngest is Autistic and will often request something specific. There is no option for substitution, so we used the menu finder and it saved us.

    Contemporary or Yacht Club

    Thanks guys! I ended up choosing Yacht Club. It just makes sense with our dining reservations being mostly over that way. And the convenience of being able to go back to the room makes a difference as well when one kid is 6 and the other 17.

    Is it sad that I just rearranged my days for Edward James Olmos? My husband is a huge fan and I think he will love it.

    Contemporary or Yacht Club

    Thinking about splurging this trip as it is Christmas and we will be spending more time at the resort than usual. We do tend to spend the bulk of our park time at both Epcot and the Magic Kingdom. We are currently booked at Coronado, but we are considering upgrading to a Deluxe. The price...

    Pop or Coronado?

    Or what Ellen's Energy Adventure used to be for. I'm gonna miss that AC power nap.

    Fantasmic Dessert Party

    Yep. I was hoping to cross that off my list yesterday as well. Hoping it opens soon, now that they have JBJB loaded.
