    Should I get a magic key?

    If you can purchase, and know for a fact that you will be going at least 6 days (2 weekend trips)…. Sure. (I think that was the math breakdown). Also trips with no blackout dates. We HAD the Believe key but didn’t renew this time. We always had 2 weekend trips plus a few day trips every few...

    Allergy dining

    We have manage a few allergies as well. I like having one planned sit down meal during busy times. During the holiday season, they have the food booths at DCA. They have a food guide that indicates the allergen. To be honest, for our allergies (TN, SS), was never comfortable with the booths. But...

    How to get a specific room at Disneyland Hotel

    I had called and requested the Adventureland Tower. Upon check-in at the front desk again, I made an inquiry again. She was about to say that nothing was available then kept scrolling… then said “oh there is one left.” I’m assuming they normally don’t give anyone this room. Or some other guest...

    How to get a specific room at Disneyland Hotel

    Thanks on the tip on online check-in. I always wondered if it was to our disadvantage. What tower did you have? Our standard and Deluxe room bookings have always varied. I’ve tried to figure it out and have no idea what the secret is. I only want a sofa because it seems to be a bigger room...

    Canceling Dining Reservations

    that’s strange as you are well within the time you can. I had that error over the weekend. But it was the day before/ over 24 hours. I ended up modifying it to a later date. Then cancelling it.

    "Magic Key Renewals are here!" - Part of recent survey taken on 8/15/23.

    Not renewing our Believe passes. The new block out days including November Saturdays is a factor. I didn’t mind the reservation system when it helped crowd control. But now it’s just annoying.

    Visiting Hollywood & Disneyland area in Oct

    Hollywood Bowl has an excellent shuttle service throughout various locations in Los Angeles County. I believe $6 each way and drops you off right at the entrance. So wherever you choose to stay, check it out...

    January Trip. I must be losing my mind. Help me find it.

    I actually love getting breakfast at the Jazz Kitchen Express. Easy stop before the parks. And easy pick up from the hotel and back. We’ve also done evening cocktails from Trader Sam’s/Tangeroa Terrace… if it’s crowded, you can easily take back to your room or sit in the many areas at the hotel...

    February 7th - 11th crowds

    To be honest, the crowd levels have been unpredictable and just worst compared to other years. (Regardless of any park event)) The fact that your dates are a mix of weekdays and weekends is a good strategy I do know other states have a “snow week” in February. Maybe someone else can speak for...

    Hypothetical: How would the parks change without social media? R

    Merchandise wouldn’t sell out as quickly. Perhaps less pricey seasonal items. I actually use social media to plan. The right blog/bloggers can be helpful preparing you for the current crowd levels, expectations, etc. (ie I’m not planning on getting the Magic Band as I don’t see much use.)...

    Which tower should I request at Disneyland Hotel?

    I never have a location preference. The distance/walk doesn’t bother me. I’ve had a variety or good and bad rooms in all 3 towers. But the one and only time I mentioned a preference for the Adventure Tower (previous year we had a great room) we got stuck with a terrible room. Upon check in, I...

    Recent Experiences at Cafe Orleans?

    We have not been recently. But sad to see they no longer have beignets! Sure you can get them next door. But it was nice to have a table and dipping sauce.

    GRAND CALIFORNIAN ROOM VIEW HELP

    I honestly only care about room size. The location/view has been a surprise perk or disappointment. Disliked: car port facing room. Second to last room near the PPH walkway. Tiny room. Balcony was even smaller. No extra chair or sofa. Just beds and the balcony. Also had a garden view/partial...

    It’s really strange that they blocked those November Saturdays. It was always the “in between” overlays. Halloween is gone and Christmas is not yet up. Dapper Day 2021 was the first where it had (some) Holiday decor/events I hated when they took away the two Saturdays in December for the Deluxe...

    Same here. That’s really disappointing.

    Mirabel

    Mirabel is so much fun! At least the one we saw last November. Really engaging and playful. And when she leaves to take her break she was dancing while walking away (Same for Spidey moving through the crowd. Think that’s how my daughter loves him before having seen any shows/movies years ago)...

    Paradise Pier/Pixar Place Hotel Renovation Updates? Also, no PPH megathread?

    What’s to come will be interesting. It wasn’t a favorite hotel to many here for a variety of reasons. But it always seemed that Surf’s Up Character meals were popular. Better than the others. We don’t really do Character Meals / buffets. But still had a pleasant experience at the restaurant...

    Paradise Pier/Pixar Place Hotel Renovation Updates? Also, no PPH megathread?

    Timing… has yet to be announced we were was just there Labor Day weekend. Right before they started dismantling the sign/facade I don’t have a problem with the hotel and theming nor the location, but I wouldn’t recommend staying right now. I can only imagine the construction getting worst...

    Food Budget

    Budget higher for the unexpected. Snacks (churros!) and any specialty items. With the heat, you may find yourself wanting something refreshing. You can get ice from many locations. Water stations are warm. And some locations, the water tastes a little off. We start the day with our own water...
