    DCA Attraction Poster

    Does anyone have any new information on when the new DCA Attraction Posters (which are fabulous IMO) will be available for purchase. I've seen blogs say Spring 2012 but no indication where or when (specifically). Thanks

    Question About Disney Collection

    Prior to the construction of the Villas at the Grand Californian Hotel, the GCH was part of the Disney collection and you could generally make those reservations 11 months in advance. Now, in the catalog only Paradise Pier and the Disneyland Hotel are listed as options in the Disney Collection...

    My DLR Trip Review 8/9-8/18

    DLR - Extra Magic Hours?

    I apologize in advance. I know that I have asked this before but I couldn't find the thread. Does Disneyland have extra magic hours if you are a Grand Californian hotel guest? I see that regular August hours are 8AM opening. Thanks.

    What Will DCA Look Like in August 2009

    ...Just curious because that is when I will be headed there. My understanding is that the Fun Wheel will be done, the retheme of the Paradise Pier Games will be done. The Mickey head on the Cal Screamin will be gone and replaced with the "Paradise Pier" sign. 1. Will the Orange Stinger...

    Lost Camera - Any Suggestions?

    Just got back from 4 days Universal/Islands. I lost my small digital camera and case during the second spinning sequence on MIB (came out of my jacket fleece pocket) on the very first day. I immediately reported it to the ride attendant and went to Lost and Found every day but to no avail. To...

    Suggestions For Summertime Trip

    Any suggestions on how to handle a summertime weeklong trip to DLR. I presume that I should avoid Disneyland on Saturday and Sunday and limit those visits to weekdays. My understanding is that DCA isn't crowded enough on weekends for that to matter much. Any other advice? We are planning a...

    $150m for the Sub Ride??

    http://www.miceage.com/allutz/al061207a.htm Can that be true? Goodness, I don't want to tell Disney how to spend their money but they really spent 150 million on a somewhat low capacity dark ride? That seems wildly inefficient to me but, of course, its not my money. How much would the...

    We're Coming Back

    Last year we surprised our kids with a long weekend trip to USF (one day at MK) over Martin Luther King Day weekend. Despite very cold temperatures we had such a good time we decided to do it again. We'll be staying at the Royal Pacific again (love those front of the line privileges) and...

    Just Booked My Return to USF

    ...heading down in mid-January for a long weekend at the Royal Pacific. I have to admit I love the Universal Express privileges for resort guests. Hopefully, the weather will be warmer than last time which was quite cold and left the water rides irrelevant. Looking forward to checking out the...

    Just returned from a week in Southern California, stayed the entire week at the Grand Californian Hotel and went to the parks 5 days. Here are my thoughts: A. Disneyland Park 1. General: In my opinion, this is a much better park than the Magic Kingdom in Florida. I love them both but...

    Park-hopping Question

    I am staying at the Grand Californian Hotel in about 2 weeks. In checking the posted schedule, I noticed a 2 hour difference between the opening of Disneyland and DCA. I assume that going to Disneyland for a couple of hours before DCA opens is feasible and probably a pretty good idea to knock...

    My DLR Trip Is In Jeopardy

    I'm 6 weeks out now, sweating the scheduling of a court appearance (I'm a lawyer not a litigant) during the week of my vacation that I have been planning for about a year. How accomodating will Disney be if I have to move it about a week? Anybody ever have this happen. I do not have trip...

    Stupid Question About Royal Pacific Hotel

    I have a fairly stupid question regarding the Royal Pacific Hotel. How do you get to the parks/CityWalk from the Royal Pacific Hotel? I understand that there is a boat launch. Is there also a walking path? How far is it? Is there any other transportation to the parks? How far away is the...
