Thank you all sooo much for your insights, it really helped us to get an idea of what to expect. We have decided to go ahead and try it out! We love the Christmas offerings at WDW anyway (even though we normally only get to see them AFTER Christmas) and with the Osborne lights gone it will be...

Hi Everyone! My family and I do WDW trips with some frequency, but our most common travel time is the very end of December and the beginning of January. Therefore, we've never had the opportunity to go to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. We haven't been able to do a big Disney trip this...

Thank you all! We had an amazing trip! You were right, @raven24, it was HOT! Such a different weather experience than I had when I went in July 2 years ago (which was in the 70s and beautiful). But we were prepared and the heat didn't put much of a damper on our visit. I will try to put...

Just got back a couple days ago, and I'm looking forward to talking about all the awesome food we had at Disneyland! But before I put together a little trip report, I wanted to ask if anyone knows what happened to the menu at the Hungry Bear... I wanted to go because I had missed out on it...

Leaving today!!! We will be landing in LAX (unfortunately, but really the only place we can get a non-stop flight to from the east coast) early this afternoon!! This will be my second visit to Disneyland, another friend's first visit in a long time (she has fallen in love with WDW since she...

Fantastic. Roller coasters are my favorite and don't bother me, but the thought of a potentially scary overlay did, especially since I don't know what to expect. Glad to hear that Ghost Galaxy isn't too bad. :-) Thank you guys very much for the Paint the Night info. I'm not usually a big...

I will be at Disneyland this time next week! Yeeeeeeesss!!! :D A few more questions for you folks! Any favorite spots for watching Paint the Night? What direction/route does the parade take? I'm trying to avoid major spoilers for the parade, therefore I haven't wanted to read through the...

Thank you! Maybe for our first viewing we'll try upper or mid mainstreet. And then if we're lucky enough to get a second viewing we'll try closer to the castle so we can also see the Matterhorn.

Thank you @raven24 and @GiveMeTheMusic! We have dinner reservations at 5:30 the first day we arrive, so I'm hoping we'll be done with dinner in plenty of time to hop over to Disneyland for the fireworks. If so, that may give us the opportunity to see them a second time on one of our other...

I don't know if this is the right thread for this question, but I'm trying desperately to avoid too many spoilers about Disneyland's new night time shows before my trip in a few weeks, so I want to steer clear of those specific threads (it's a challenge!). Anyway, my question is about the new...

I agree with this 100%. On points, I'd stay there again any day, I really loved it. But, in a month I'm going without the benefit of my parents' DVC points, so I'm staying offsite! It's a great hotel, but geez do they overcharge for it...

Thank you, this was super helpful! :)

Another question for you all - thoughts on best ways to get from LAX to the resort area? We're staying at Best Western Park Place. I saw Super Shuttle recommended a few pages back, but other reviews I've read indicate that it can be a little hit or miss (long wait times, etc.). I have...

I stayed at the GC two years ago and really enjoyed my time there. We were three adults in a DVC studio room, and we found it comfortable and what we're used to in the studio rooms (our home resort is Animal Kingdom Lodge at WDW, and the room layout was pretty much identical). Our balcony...

If your goal for early opening is to do Carsland and get immediately on RSR, we found that the best option was through the main gate (even though we were staying at The Grand Californian). Unless they've changed things over the past 2 years (which is very possible), they would let us in through...

Awesome, thank you so much for this information. It sounds like there's a bit of a chance we'll get to see some version of Haunted Mansion during our trip, and that makes me quite happy. :D

Am I reading correctly that they start installing HMH mid-August? How long is Haunted Mansion usually down for the install? Just curious - our trip to Disneyland is September 9-12, and I was fully expecting Haunted Mansion to be down for the install during that time. I'd much rather Haunted...

Thank you so much for the tip! We're flying from the east coast, so airfare is a bit expensive, so saving anywhere we can is much appreciated!! :D

Thank you guys! This will save us much time and frustration come September! :)

I'd like to add my thanks to everyone for this thread! As I learned when my family was planning our very first trip to Disneyland back in July 2013, you all are the very best. My first experience in Disneyland was amazing, and now I'm going back! Instead of going with my family, I'll be going...
