    Oh the flashback of memories of our first Christmas/New Year's trip to WDW last year!! We had heard of the parks being packed and had to experience it. We thought it was a blast. Yeah, it required getting up reeeaaallly early some mornings. But with careful planning of afternoon rests...

    Disney's Grand Californian opinions

    My husband and I stayed there for the first time last summer in early August. We too had always stayed at the Disneyland Hotel---with the kids. We spent 5 wonderful days and 4 nights away from our now teenage kids. We found the service, rooms, house keeping, park view, lobby, restaurants...

    Disneyland Park Priority Seating

    I recall the Carnation restaurant on Main Street required priority seating. I think the Plaza Inn does too--not sure--bad memory. Any character dining anywhere-yes. We had breakfast early in the morning at the Carnation. Extremely tiny, quaint, almost romantic and outdoors on a "side...

    Last minute tips

    morning monorail tip Just thought of this tip. If you are staying at the Disneyland Hotel or the Paradise Pier Hotel I would avoid the monorail in the morning hours for park entry. My family has timed both waiting in line for the monorail and waiting in line at the front gate. The front gate...

    Last minute tips

    fast pass for IJA I agree. Get that fast pass for IJA first thing and immediately get on the ride. This attraction is very popular. Pirates usually has a short line--nothing like WDW. Use it as a "filler" ride during the day, if you feel like being spontaneous for other rides and don't...

    CBF's 2/22 Update: it's a character and wall world

    Heads up people! This Friday is CSF night. There will be more maniac kids running around like idiots. I know because one of them will be mine. I've chaperoned this night before for my school and I won't do it anymore. Too many issues of cutting lines. Good luck for those of you who will...

    Early check-in & morning EMH

    I still am wanting to know what time is the earliest check in time. And I still think a better system which takes into account the earliest booking time along with optional personal requests should be considered. A combination of human and computer input would be efficient, equitable, and...

    Early check-in & morning EMH

    7am check in?????? Okay, I have to ask this. How early can one check in??? I have suffered each and every time I've been to WDW (which is not often enough) from the "West Coast Penalty." There has got to be a better system in place than the first come first served rule, leaving us west coast...

    Age at your first trip

    I was 4 years old when my family made their first trip to Disneyland, a week after Walt died. I remember the solemn faces of the CM's and didn't understand why. "Such a fun place and everyone is sad," I questioned.
