    Spontaneous trip to DL and Vegas

    Congratulations on the wedding! Sorry to hear that your pesky kidney is playing up and you had to cancel the trip. Hope you are feeling ok. That's us... but we are on the cusp of moving up an age bracket! LOL Plus you move way faster without kids = more rides ;-)

    First Timers - One Day Only w/ Park Hopper & MaxPass - Strategy?

    With a strong rope drop strategy and utilising MP fully, I think you'll fit a fair bit in that morning and get a decent jump on the afternoon if you are lucky. Have a great trip.

    Help with walking from Holiday Inn South Walnut.

    Same as @ParkHopper1, we've stayed there a few times and that's the fastest way. Took us about 15- 20 max to walk it at a stroll. We've been super lucky and encountered no security line hold ups, but we've always gone extra early and had breakfast at Earl of Sandwich. Would love an update on...

    express pass in october?

    We bought it for an October trip (2 of us only) but by being there at rope drop and having a plan in place we didn't really need it. It was nice to walk on but a lot of the lines first thing were 10 -15 mins (except HP) You can buy it on the day and add it to the ticket if you find you aren't...

    First visit to Disneyland advice...

    Nooo, say it isn't so! Doh. We were there in November and loved it. Sorry, wrong terminology, I've got the MDE app on the phone as well.

    Rip Rocket-trying to overcome my fear!

    I go on everything but I swear I'll never get on this one again... I spent the entire ride promising every deity I could think of my first born... I survived but don't have kids so I'm not willing to risk it again! LOL

    First visit to Disneyland advice...

    First up, RP is still key to making the most of your time. Up early, through security (have breakfast at Earl of Sandwich - Yum!) and then into the gate line nice and early. I'd second not staying onsite at DL, plenty of hotels in walking distance, you might not need a bus, but some do have...

    Anyone planning for 2020 yet??

    I'm planning for 2020 but I just don't know where or when... work is in a state of flux here. If I'm still in this role I'll be in LA in May for work, so that's a DLR/vegas/Zion trip 3 weeks, if not it'll be an Oct/Nov WDW/Dallas/etc trip for 5 weeks (If I have leave accrued in a new job)...

    323 days until my first trip!

    I second Living With Disney's comment. We once flew Qantas and the agent told us that it was fine, we could book our internal US domestic flights separately and as long as they were booked via Qantas we'd be fine with the International baggage allowance.... ah, no, we were not as we found out...

    323 days until my first trip!

    There is always a winter fair/market in Bryant Park in NYC (watch for the fake Monk who'll hit you up for a "donation" at one of the entry points) that is quite cute and it has an ice skating rink as well - http://bryantpark.org/ Bryant Park also has free wifi and isn't far from Lord & Taylor...

    Should I purchase Memory Maker???

    We always get it, they are the only photos where Crazy Cat Boy and I are in them together, at any point in our lives just about. If we had to prove our relationship at all we'd have to pull out the MM photos and use the date banners! LOL

    MaxPass Disneyland Australian phone

    I did last November. I made sure that my global roaming was on and that I had access to the Vodafone $5 per day deal. This essentially allows me access to my phone plan entitlements at $5 per day I use the data/phone (wifi no charge). I didn't have a problem with using MaxPass on my data, and...

    323 days until my first trip!

    NYC is amazing. Second all of Aussie Wendy's recommendations. Take the Subway to get around, it's easy to use and very efficient. I'd also add that if you do the High Line that you visit the Chelsea Markets & Meat Packing District. SOHO/Chinatown/Little Italy are all short walks from the...

    DLR newbie planning 1st trip - hotel question

    The Holiday Inn in Walnut St is walkable (about 15 mins) but looking very tired plus ordinary service when we were last there in November. I think they have a shuttle from memory, but we just walked both days.

    Weekend trip to Hollywood for 5 - Orchid Suites or Holiday Inn Express & Suites?

    Lowes is a short walk - 5 or so minutes from the Holiday Inn.

    Freaking out! In a good way

    Oh, and if you want to bring back a little bit of Palm Springs to hang on the wall, check out the Nat Reed Gallery, 333 N Palm Canyon Dr. For his prints and postcards (buy some and frame them at home yourself) they were pretty well priced, the larger works are well larger (transport issues) and...

    Freaking out! In a good way

    If you like BBQ we stumbled on this place accidently in Palm Springs - Smoke Tree BBQ, 1775 E Palm Canyon Dr. It's next to a Ralphs supermarket if you need any groceries. Plenty of free parking and it was just inside the little alley of the shops. http://smoketreebbq.com/
