    First timers - lots of questions

    Very true, but CA only closes 1 hour early for grad nights. Unless something has changed, it will close at 9:00 p.m. right when the party starts, instead of being open until its usual 10:00 p.m. For OBB it typically closes by 6:00. Also for OBB party guests can start entering at 3:00...

    Disneyland table service

    If you are going to be there on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the Lamplight Lounge brunch is great. We also really like Cafe Orleans. We are longtime WDW vets and I think WDW counter service is generally not great-- no way I could eat it for a whole trip, and I really don't like eating it for a...

    First timers - lots of questions

    You might want to consider hoppers since the last days the Imagine Key is unblocked until August 12 are May 29 and May 30. I would expect those days to be really busy. June 1 will definitely be your best day. You may want to reconsider not going on grad nights. There are definitely some...

    First timers - lots of questions

    I would 100% go Saturday June 1, instead of Tuesday June 4. We have been that exact time several years. We usually arrive the Saturday after memorial day around noon, head straight to the parks that day, and then we go to the parks daily and leave the parks mid- Wednesday afternoon to go...

    Ride differences between DL and WDW

    Monday is usually the busiest day of the week. If you are talking about 2024- the Imagine annual passes are not blocked that Monday- Wednesday and then they are blocked for almost 2 weeks- so you can expect that they may crowd the parks those days. You would be much better off if you could...

    Disneyland bubble

    We are WDW vets. At DLR we usually stay at the Disneyland Hotel. The walk to the parks is directly through DTD--- the hotel is at one end of DTD and the parks are at the other end. We feel completely in the Disney bubble the whole time, like we do at WDW. The only way we even remotely feel...

    Plaza Inn breakfast with large group

    When we have done that breakfast, they are usually seating areas at a time (filling one table after another in the same area of the restaurant- to work with the flow of characters), so I think there is a very good chance of getting tables close together. I would stop by on your arrival in the...

    No park reservations available?!?!?!

    For a lot of school districts in Arizona, Nevada, and Texas that is the starting weekend of spring break. Glad you were able to pick reservations up!

    Week before Halloween starts or after?

    I would do Halloween time. It is fun. We were there labor day weekend last year and it was great. We were there in 2021 in the disaster that is October--- last year going Labor Day was SOOOOO much better. The only sad thing was we had to leave the day before Oogie Boogie started, which was...

    1900 Park Fare Reopening April 10

    I completely forgot about that Snow White meal that started in 2018! Artist Point didn't have anything on the menu that DD (who went through a vegetarian phase) or DH liked, so we never did that one. I agree that Pooh is a "sort of"-- it is a theme-- but not a full blown long single story...

    Online Check In Vs In Person

    We only did online check in at DLH once- in Oct. 2021-- and it was not a good experience for us. A lot of people have had no issues with it. We got to DLH at 11:30 a.m. We got to the front desk and everyone in front of us and around us was checking in manually and getting rooms right then-...

    1900 Park Fare Reopening April 10

    We were so excited to hear 1900 Park Fare was finally reopening as I was thinking the stepsisters and Lady Tremaine would be back. It was by far the most fun character meal. Their antics were so great to watch. It was the one single movie themed character meal. So disappointed to see they...

    Park réservations

    We went during those days in 2021 and it was the worst Disney trip (either WDW or DLR ) we have had due to crowds-- and we have been to WDW the week between Christmas and New Years. However, Genie + had not yet started so there was no fast pass at all which made it miserable--- maybe it would...

    Dining help!

    It definitely gives you more flexibility. Carsland is a great place to see at night-- and if you are in the San Fransokyo area, walking into Carsland under the arch where you see RSR is also beautiful. One year photopass was there at night (haven't seen them there since), and everyone who saw...

    Dining help!

    I would do both. Goofy's is very similar to the WDW character meals with set characters, and the food is better than Chef Mickey's. Plaza Inn is our favorite, because you usually run into one or two characters that you don't see at WDW character meals or even at WDW. We always try for...

    Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween 2023 Super Thread

    We have done it. It was very similar to the WOC dessert party. It is directly on the parade route and you do not have anyone in front of you. All the tables were equally as good-- it isn't like WOC where you can potentially get a not so great table. It probably wasn't necessary as it would...

    One day in Disneyland- picking my "Battles"

    Ahh- my favorite DL breakfast-- get the churro at the cart in front of the castle-- for some reason they are always the best. Your choices would all be on my list- except I haven't tried the macaron. I also am not a white chocolate fan if the current version is heavy on that. You don't have...

    One day in Disneyland- picking my "Battles"

    I think you made the right choice to do Genie+ based on your DL ride list- Space and Indiana Jones do not always have single rider available. There are also rides on your CA list that it will work for. It might be extremely helpful in getting your list done. I think it is easier to pick up...

    trip to DL Q's, help please.

    Having been to both WDW (multiple times) and DLR (2021) in October, I can tell you we will NEVER go to DLR in October again. The only thing that saved our trip was Oogie Boogie Bash which was a ton of fun. The parks were miserably crowed at DLR in October-- and we have been to WDW between...
