    I'm planning a trip to DL in November. I've never been DL or California. I have a few questions: How far is DL from from other Southern California attractions? If you mean theme parks, Knotts about 8 miles, 15 mins by car, Universal studios about 40 miles, depending on traffic an hour or...

    Disneyland Trip Transportation & Questions!

    1) do a google search for lax ground transportation, there are several companies that go to the DL resort area. 2) You would be best to rent a car. Dont go after dark. There may also be some tours that go from the DL resort to Hollywood. 3) about 6 miles. You can take public transportation...

    Disney Design Group or imagineering?

    I disagree with this statement. I have watched the Disney job postings for several years now, waiting for the right position. While there are many positions with the Walt Disney company that require a BA with 5 years experience in the field or a masters these are more technical positions such as...

    How much to buy Disney

    It was a good thing that comcast did not buy Disney, if they had they would have ruined the company. I have comcasts triple play service and since the day it was installed we have had problems. It has taken over 30 phone calls and 7 tech visits to get my problems resolved and they have just...

    Here's a few suggestions that might help. My Gf also has a 12 YO son, we have been to WDW once and DL many times with our AP's. There is no younger child but he still doesnt want to do some things, and he can be quite difficult about it if he wants. WDW we took grandma and she hadnt been in...

It is so smooth and the effects are great, no light leaks and you dont feel like oyu need to duck under the supports all the time. There...

    AAA discount

    To book with a AAA discount you need to book with AAA, who by the way are the largest travel agency in the country. You can call them and do it over the phone, online in some areas or go to your local office. Sounds like Disney travel may honor AAA discounts if you call them directly also. I...

    I'm going to Disneyland!

    Disneyland is great, its much more intimate than WDW. If you can afford it stay at one of the Disney owned hotels. I would try for the original Disneyland Hotel myself, Grand Californian is spectacular but very pricy, along the lines of any of the WDW hotels on the monorail line. I recommend 5...

    Question about communicating in the park.

    While I hate cell phones they are really the best way to go. Check with your hubbues provider, many offer a family plan for about $10.00 a month and you share minutes. I added the text messages to our plan because I feel its the most unobtrusive way to comunicate at the parks. I hate people on...
