Gotta say I'm having a hard time not being mad at some of you right now. :-) This is day 2 and these parks are far from empty. It's been busy, especially for weekdays. Weve managed to get in a lot of what get in we want, buy boy guys, those that said nobody is here... You're wrong. :p

What I've heard (and can't confirm one way or the other yet) is that there were some technical issues with the cameras with Mickey so they had photographers in there. Supposedly some boxes were working and others weren't. The photographers would be a temporary fix until the boxes were fixed if...

It's a weekend... In Fall... With very nice weather and lower prices than summer was... Shouldn't be a surprise at all. Funny how we're getting these posts every weekend now. :)

and when most of the parks had parades? Studios, Animal Kingdom, both California parks... :-(

6 more days til Oogie Boogie for us... Can't wait to see this in person

From post above (I'm a former cast member who worked with the characters as well)

Waiters, bellmen, and housekeeping, yes. guest services and tour guides, no. Generally any cast member in a position where a tip isn't expected every time (like those 3) are not allowed to accept cash tips. About the only other cast I can think of that might be allowed beyond those 3 are the...

It's been said before, but apparently needs to be said again... Cast members can NOT accept a cash tip. Doing so can get them fired. If someone is insistent on it, then have to say no at least 3 times, and if it's still forced on them they are supposed to turn it into management. To do...

Yeah, that's a great deal. Even with working hard at finding the deal, I don't think those of us in the states could get an "on property" hotel stay like that for that rate for 2 people, unless maybe at one of the Disney "budget" hotels, and only Disney tickets. Add in that it's at one of the...

I think that this greatly depends on where you're coming from. Last Feb coming from the US, DLP was MUCH cheaper than WDW is. We picked up AP's for about $200, as opposed to over $800 in the US. 3 days in the parks covered that pretty easily. Even with the increases, the parks in the US have...

I think you're confusing which Disneyland is being discussed. This isn't about the one in California, it's about the one in France outside of Paris and how it compares to Walt Disney World. :)

Well if the dumb boxes can't even catch the posed shot decently, then there's no way they are actually going to get the candids, hugs, greetings, or other stuff at all. :-)

If all you are wanting is just the posed photo, then anyone can do as good a job as photopass (sad that the boxes can't even do that well). Where Photopass shines isn't the one or two posed shots that anyone can take, it's all of the candids and extras that they take- ones that attendants will...

As others have said, no you can't prebook them. Disneyland's Fastpass system is essentially the same at Walt Disney World's used to be with the old paper tickets- you can't get them until you get into the parks. They also don't give out as high a percentage of them as WDW does, which are both...

Note the word "satire" in the above post... :p

We did green on my last visit. First time doing it. Actually think I preferred it to the Orange version. It's a completely different mission- you aren't going to Mars. And like you, after I come off of Orange I just feel "off" a little bit. So it was nice to be able to enjoy it without...

I've bumped into a few people here and there in the parks when I've been there. Always like saying Hi. No clue when I'll be back to WDW though.

Saw this today on a Disney satire site and had to laugh. Maybe this is the real reason for those boxes.... New PhotoPass system isn’t automated; just hides ugly Cast Members

I'm kind of with Raven on some of those... Denny's and McDonald's are not what I would call "great" options. However, there were a couple of things that you missed- like Jimboys. Most of Harbor Blvd is great if you want to save money over what the park charges and there are options there that...

A major factor in how it would work at Disneyland is where the meets are set up. For the boxes to work it has to be in a fixed indoor location so they can keep the lights and sets in a fixed controllable position. It can't be outdoors because of changing lighting as the sun moves, clouds come...
