Hello! My family (myself, my husband, and our 2 year old son) want to watch the first Fantasmic show on our upcoming trip to Disneyland. I have heard the second viewing is less crowded, but I’m not sure my 2 year old can stay awake that long 😅 The 9pm show is already pushing it, but he’s been obsessed with watching it since I showed him a YouTube recording of the show so we really want him to see it in person.

Does anyone have any tips for getting a good viewing spot without a dining package? We are willing to camp out for a little bit but would love some ideas on where & when to do so. Thanks so much in advance!

My partner and I will be visiting California from Nov 9-13 from Canada :) We have 2 days planned for Disneyland and 1 day for Universal. Currently the plan is Universal on the 10th and Disney 11-12.

I know the holiday will be busy anywhere you go, but I am wondering which you would choose for the 11th? We like Disney a lot more and don’t plan on doing all the rides at Universal so I am wondering if fighting the crowds there would be more enjoyable since we aren’t as attached to Universal and getting everything done isnt a top priority. Universal is also open 2 hours later on the holiday vs the day before.

Thank you for your thoughts! Have a good day :)

On the actual park day (not prior), if I have ADR, will the system let me overlap ADR (dining reservations) when making LLMP selections?

getting conflicting info doing a google search. Some say no restriction, the system unlocks the same day but some still say a 20 min restriction. Some say it won't ever let you book a LL when you have a dining reservation for the same time (I think that is false?)

Talking about changes made while in the park, not pre-booking the 3 LLMP.

Thanks all, getting down to the final days and now looks like pouring rain and thunderstorms, so now making ADRs.

can I get some opinions on park vue after the renovations? I stayed at the courtyard Marriott a few months ago and it wasn’t bad, but looking to go back and park vue inn has a great price.

Guys do you think 10am is too late to arrive and what times do you recommend? I've seen stories of people camping outside at or before 6am so...

Also, is DPA worth it and like when do they usually sell out. Do people come early to get the DPA??

THANK YOU :3

Flying into LAX. Are there any car services or shuttles yall recommend? Or do I just call the billion dollar uber ride 😭

Hi! Anyone have any good tips for cheaper flights when flying from Northern Ireland? We usually fly from Dublin and last year did direct with Aer Lingus but this year they are so expensive and most don't have checked bags! We are going at the end of August next year so flights are not long out. Should I wait and book them a bit later? Any advice would be appreciated ☺️

Long time Disneyland visitors but are going to WDW for the first time with our 17, 15, and 12 year children 12/27-12/30. We know it’s the busiest time but it’s what worked for us! We are doing a 4 day one park per day and will have early entry. We and our teens can handle going all day! Looking for any tips on which park which day and LL tips as I’m trying to figure it all out!

I bought a bottle of hot sauce at the shop near Tiana's in WDW and now I'm curious to find any others that might be available at the parks.

Can you think of any other shops at the Anaheim or Orlando resorts that sell Disney themed hot sauces? I'm going to build up a little set of hot sauces for these hot sauce reviews I share with friends.

Hello all!!

We’re going to DL the first week of May with a 4Y/O and a 10M/O and I’m wondering if LLMP is worth it for all 4 park days or should we skip it?

We’re not necessarily looking to rope drop all 4 days because I’m not holding my kids to any expectations to wake up at 6AM and they’re not ready and I’m also trying to get breakfast for them at Plaza Inn w Minnie etc. At least that first Monday after travel.

We’re doing DL on Monday and Wednesday

And then doing DCA Tuesday and Thursday.

Any tips for this little trip, I’d greatly appreciate it! TIA! ❣️

Already have 2 days at Disney world planned as well as a day at Kennedy space center and we're debating if we should add a day at Universal into our trip. We're traveling with a 4yo toddler flying in on Nov 7th and leaving on the 14th. Our friends whom will be joining us on the trip doesn't arrive until the 8th so our first day at Disney is planned for the 9th. This leaves us really only 5 days to split between all the different theme parks. Our toddler is just on the verge of being tall enough to meet the height requirements for most of the rides depending on how straight up he stands so we're on the fence if it'll be worth it to spend all that money and energy for a day at universal. Our friends are suggesting that we take a chill day and rest the kiddos at a waterpark near our rental. Current schedule is Disney on the 9th and 10th, Universal/water park 11th, Kennedy space station on the 12th and Disney springs/shopping for the wives on the 13th.

Hi all, I'll be visiting LA with my best friend for a few days and we don't plan on renting a car. We just purchased tickets to go to Disneyland and we are staying in West Hollywood. We would like to secure a shuttle or transportation service that is affordable for 2 people so we don't have to worry about pick up and drop off (we'll use uber/lyft/public transport the rest of the days). Do you have any recommendations? I was planning on reserving thru Prime time shuttle (found it on Google) but after digging more about it, it has terrible reviews.

Hello, Disney folks! My girlfriend and I will be visiting on November 13. We are staying in Anaheim with family members and spending just one day in Disneyland with non-park hopper tickets with LLMP. I plan on proposing to my girlfriend during this trip, so hopefully we will be celebrating our engagement during the day! I would love any recommendations on how to make this day extra-special, including unique experiences in the park!

Right now, we plan on rope dropping and doing rides for the first two hours or so. Then I’ll do the proposal mid-morning at the Castle, followed by getting some celebration buttons from City Hall and a light snack from a nearby restaurant. We’ll do more rides, then a midday break, followed by more rides (Lightning Lane if we play our cards right). We have a 3pm Fantasmic! dining package reservation at Cafe Orleans. Then we’ll do some more rides, shopping, and hopefully a few character experiences before the first Fantasmic! show and holiday fireworks.

Does anyone have additional recommendations for special/unique experiences we can enjoy in the park? Any tips on maximizing LLMP and rope drop? Any and all tips and advice would be greatly appreciated, as I’d like to make this day as special as possible. Thank you!

We have a trip coming up, and honestly the local water there makes me feel sick when I drink it. Does Disneyland offer a refillable fountain drink cup or anything like that? Obviously going to still be drinking water to stay hydrated but exploring other options (including grabbing a case of waters from target)
