    Just got back from our first use of Fastpass+ and...

    I have a trip planned for June so have been researching all of this. The"Terms & Conditions" on the Disney website state: "You may modify the entire FP+ experience set until the first FP+ is used or the first unused experience expires." This confuses me because it seems the only important part...

    Disneyland hotels

    So I went to look again at the website for Stovalls and it does say "Self parking for a fee." I know when I first started to investigate the '"Good Neighbor" hotels, I was thrown off by that phrasing. As I quickly ran down the list of hotel services, I was reading it as "self parking for...

    Disneyland hotels

    So glad my information was helpful. Ironically, this is where we stayed when we visited Disneyland about four years ago. And yes, I would say we were very satisfied with it. There is nothing fancy about this place, very simple continental breakfast and the pool is in the parking lot, but when...

    Looking for room numbers at Art of Animation

    Can anyone tell me what the room numbers are for the first floor rooms in buildings 1 & 3 in the Cars section of Art of Animation on the end closest to the main pool/Animation Hall? Thanks for your help!

    Disneyland hotels

    Over the last few days I've been helping a friend plan a Disneyland trip. She is planning on visiting middle of March and many of the "Good Neighbor" hotels are showing no availability when booking through the Disneyland website. However, if you go directly to the websites of many of these...

    Is your resort rate guaranteed once you book?

    Thank you for the info. I'm helping a friend right now plan a trip and she asked about guaranteeing a rate and it got me thinking of how you might do that. Also, I know technically you can't roll a "room only" into a package, but we've always been fortunate when a deal like free dining has come...

    Is your resort rate guaranteed once you book?

    Does it make a difference if you book "room only" or book a package. I know that on every trip when we've booked in one year for travel the next and they've had a rate increase, we have gotten a letter informing us our nightly rate went up. I would then have to call in and give them more money...

    Is your resort rate guaranteed once you book?

    For the most part, we start by booking a "room only" reservation about a year out from out trip. In the past I know we have received a letter sometime after the the first of the year letting us know our rate has increased. So I'm wondering if anyone knows what the policy is for rate increases...

    I'm surprised you only get to see four princesses.

    I would assume that at least for awhile, the lines will be pretty long as everyone flocks to check out what's new at Disney. So even though your reasoning sound right, I think most people probably won't really think it through and will most likely just be thinking "Oh my goodness, I can't...

    I'm surprised you only get to see four princesses.

    So, I checked out the update on the Princess Fairytale Hall and after listening to the video I was surprised by two things. First, at any given time, there will only be four princesses to meet. I would have thought that building this grand setting for them would have meant the opportunity to...

    My Magic + details ...

    Hey, stop blaming the planners for this mess!:) Yes, I'm a planner, but I see FP+ as limiting my planning, not enhancing it. I blame the lazy;), "go with the flow" people who cried to Disney about not getting a fp for TSM when they strolled into the parks around noon! I'm dreading the 60 day...

    My Magic + details ...

    This is why I think that when fp+ is rolled out and it's time to market this to new guests, Disney will push the "Let us make the choice for you." option. If it is Disney's goal to keep people at Disney while on their vacation by having them tied to fp reservations, then they are going to want...

    Largest test to date of MyMagic+ will use all features including guest use of the MagicBand

    So this website is reporting that guests participating in test will still be able to use the paper based fp machines. This would seem to mean that once again, this test is just about working out the mechanics and not really testing what the guest experience is going to be -assuming the T&C is...

    Money Saving Tips BEFORE heading to WDW

    So this suggestion may not be for everyone, but if you can handle needles you might want to consider "donating" plasma. You can donate twice a week and where I live (Chicago suburbs)I get $25 for the first donation and $35 for the second, so $60 for the week. If I go when it's not too busy, it...

    Another fastpass plus question...

    I have seen you post several times that there will definitely be the ability to get additional fp's in the park under the new system. You always write as if you know what you are talking about. I hope you do because I would like to believe that I will be able to get more than three fp's in a...

    Trip all planned, now my Niece wants to come?

    There are two sides to Disney's personality. When you are planning you find there are a lot of rules you have to adher to, but when you get to Disney, they generally try to be pretty accomodating. So yes, add her in if you can, but if not, I agree that you should go and tell them the...

    getting really depressed about rain

    So we've experienced all kinds of rain at Disney. Spotty showers, consistent light rain throughout the week and on our spring break 2011 trip, torrential rain with a few tornados thrown in! The best advice I can give you is to go prepared with your own rain gear. DO NOT wait to see if it rains...

    How many fast passes in a day

    I really hope you are right, but what I am reading on Disney's website would seem to indicate this will not be the case. How would you interpret the following sentences from the park terms & conditions under "Converting to Paperless" - "You are required to convert paper tickets and passes in...

    How many fast passes in a day

    Unfortunately, if you go on to the Disney Park website and check under the Park's terms and conditions you will see under "going paperless" that if you opt into the fp+ system, you cannot use the old fp system. So at this point I would decided to stay with the old, because as others have stated...
