Ooooh...well there goes my day - looking at all the pictures on Tours Departing Daily now! :)

Day 2, Part 4! When we got outside of Splash and met Mom, we were sad to find it temporarily closed. The cast member said they would honor our fast passes at any time, so we went to find something else fun to. Pooh was nearby and had a short line, so on we went! I think the storyline of the...

We just got back from our first trip to Disneyland too! I liked reading your comparisons and opinions, thanks for sharing! Huh...I definitely agree with you about Disneyland being more intimate and charming, but I felt the exact opposite about the queue situation. Most of Disneyland's queues...

Day 2, Part 3! After lunch, my mom knew that she was getting pretty close to wanting to take a break, which was going to be important since we were planning on doing early days AND late nights for the first couple of days. However, Dad and I, pumped up on Disney adrenaline (I tend to be a bit...

Haha, we did! Although I think we came off a little worse for wear...that's what we get for not heeding your warning! :D

Your pictures are beautiful - thanks so much for sharing this trip report! I need to get back to California stat!

My day 2 write up is turning out to be pretty long, I think I'll keep breaking it up to make it a little more manageable. Days later in the week should be shorter, since we repeated a lot of attractions! :) Day 2, Part 2! As we exited DCA, I was starting to get bouncy excited again. I had...

I looooved the Mickey beignets they have in New Orleans Square. We got ours at the Mint Julep bar. They were served warm and in a paper bag with powdered sugar. I paired them with their non-alcholic mint julep and it was perfect. We enjoyed them out on the French Market patio while waiting...

Day 2 – 7/22/13 Despite trying to stay up to a reasonable CA time to go to bed the night before, I had no trouble getting up at 5:30 am when my alarm went off, since it pretty much felt like 8:30. My poor parents’ bodies had not adjusted to the time change yet and they were up even before...

Thanks! It feels so great to be done! Now just to find a more long term, less time intensive job... Absolutely, and then you can focus more on the good times you had with them, which is a great place to be! :) I agree 100%. One of the positives about making that tough decision. Thanks...

Day 1: 7/21/13 Disney day was here! We woke up around 4:30 am and headed out the door around 5:30 am to make our way to Dulles International Airport, near Washington DC. Our flight left about 8:50 am for LAX. Getting a non-stop flight was very important to my mom, and now that we’ve done it...

I’m so excited to be sharing our experience about our first Disneyland trip with you guys! It was such a wonderful experience, and writing about it is a great way to relive the trip. This is my first trip report ever, so bear with me. I tend to be detail oriented and write too much, but I’ll...

Certainly! So from my experience at WDW, the majority of counter service restaurants there have you go in, wait in a line at a register, place your order at the register, and then have you move forward to a counter where you wait to pick up your food and beverages. Some restaurants at DLR work...

We did! The petting zoo at Rafiki's Planet Watch at Animal Kingdom is a big favorite of my dad's so he was thrilled to find the petting zoo in Frontierland. While I queued up to get some pics with Woody and Jessie, he and my mom spent some time with the goats. My dad also really liked...

My mom does NOT like to wait, so having reservations for the majority of our table service meals worked out very well for us. The 30 minute wait for our Carnation Cafe lunch was a hard sell for her, but in the end she was glad we did it - we were all huge fans of the potato soup and the cherry...

Hey all! I just wanted to let you guys know that we got back from our very first DLR trip late last night. We had such a wonderful time, and in no small part due to all the wonderful help and advice we got from you all here! If people would be interested, I would be happy to type up a trip...

Great trip report! I really love all your pictures! We were there at the same time - but looks like we hit the opposite parks that you guys did on each day.

I absolutely agree with this. I've only been to on my first trip to DLR last week, so I don't have any experience by any means, but based on recommendations we did the late shows for both Fantasmic and World of Color and had AMAZING spots both times with just a little over an hour of waiting...

I'm here now and can confirm that there are no fast passes until regular park opening for ANY of the rides, DL and DCA. We've been following advice here from the tour books and from you guys and we've been doing great! We're crazy and doing the early 7 am entry every day, but the parks have...

Cool - between the input from you guys and TouringPlans, I think we'll be able to get everything done during our extra hours regardless of whether there's fastpass or not. We're definitely fans of doing a lot of rides up front so that we can take the afternoons slow to enjoy parades, shows...
