    How is Mobile Ordering at Earl of Sandwich?

    I order through the Earl of Sandwich Mobile App all the time. You just go directly to the pick up and let them know you're picking up a mobile order. The app does have options to Substitute cheese, meats, and adjust sauces as well as indicate special instructions. On a discount note, you can...

    Downtown Disney Starbucks, no mobile ordering?

    On the waiting for Starbucks inside the park vs Downtown Disney, one of the reasons I may opt for in-park despite a longer line has to do with the Magic Key discount as the in-park locations apply it on food/drinks and the Downtown Disney ones don't. However, an hour+ wait is long past my limit.

    California DVC Owners Group

    Here's my method of getting the DVC discount on the Magic Key, in case it helps anyone. I parked in Anaheim Gardenwalk's parking structure, on the side near HOB/AMC. They offer one hour free public parking, with $3 for each additional hour, and it's about a 10min walk down Disney Way and Harbor...

    Disney's Happiest Haunts Tour 2018

    Yes, the only ride was Haunted Mansion. At the time we went on, the posted standby wait was 70 min. The edible treats we got were nice, but I'd give them a generous (Disney) value of $5 each. Fudge was the same piece that you buy from Trolley Treats at ~$4.25, but if you don't like pumpkin...

    Booked Happiest Haunts Tour - Did It!

    My experience with the bread was quite different. The castmember managing the cart was handing out the bread one by one, and seemed to be looking for a nametag as he did so. Once we had all gotten one, he hid the tray with leftover bread in the lower part of the cart. I suppose it depends on the...

    Disney's Happiest Haunts Tour 2018

    There were two kids about that age in the tour group. Their interest waxed and waned, but they did end up establishing a relationship with the tour guide. At a couple of the stories, the younger of the two ended up quite frightened and had to be reassured by his parents. They definitely enjoyed...

    Disney's Happiest Haunts Tour 2018

    Just went on this tour today. I'd never done it before, so can't compare it to previous years. I have a handful of photos, but need to resize before posting. Throughout the tour we made several stops for history tales and spooky stories; our guide Julianne was quite funny. Additionally, we went...

    Grand Californian DVC Halloween Party 2018

    I went to last years event; I do believe we had a thread going. It was Haunted Mansion themed, and $25 pp. Loved it. We took pictures with the Tightrope walker, the Hitchhiking ghosts, and Minnie in her costume. There were also props out front and in the ballroom. Snacks were all sweets- themed...

    California. where to celebrate a birthday.

    :rotfl2:Yeah, sorry, was just typing off the top of my head. Solvang is certainly a sleepy village, but there's a nice resort with horseback riding, plus lots of events. I agree when it comes to Santa Barbara's issues, and when we travel to that part of the coast, we prefer Carpinteria (just...

    California. where to celebrate a birthday.

    Look up Solvang, CA, a little town with Dutch history and some nods to Hans Christian Anderson. There are hotels in town that would put you in walking distance most things. As for beach towns, we like visiting Carpinteria or Morro Bay.

    Annual Pass Renewal & Upgrade Question

    When I renewed from Deluxe to Signature 2 years ago, the days and parking benefit adjusted that way. I had no issues with parking or park access with my pass, and also received the higher discounts on food/merch.

    Sprint Cell Service

    I'll agree with others in that you shouldn't worry about the App working with data on the Sprint network. Since I frequent the parks, I end up being nitpicky with where data has issues. I checked the app periodically and in the zones I know have had issues. If you are worried about it, just...

    Sprint Cell Service

    I don't use Maxpass, but have never had an issue getting my fastpasses to show up on the app. Also no issues with Mobile ordering. Sometimes the map takes a little while to load fully. I don't have experience with the other carriers, so not sure how much of a difference there is.

    Sprint Cell Service

    I have Sprint and frequent the parks. Have almost no issues with voice or text (Soarin' show building queue blacks out the signal). Data is more of an issue. There are a couple of deadzones, but usually the issue is just speed of connecting and loading. That said, I rarely have a problem with...
