Anyone been to Disneyland in Cali lately? Thinking about going in June.....

Sounds like they are doing construction in the hotels right now....

Come to FL instead and spend mucho $$.

I once waited in line for a FastPass for "Soarin"..the douchebags (British ****ers) in front of me took all of them. They must have been a group of like 50 people.

Going on our first Disney trip in July. Bought tickets off ebay, had a friend who works at disney got my discount on hotel, and booked our flight. 7 days, 6 nights, Total $2100. That is without food. We are planning on hitting a grocery store and buying sandwich stuff and snacks. We are planning on about $1500 for food and other stuff. I will have to go back and read this thread for cool stuff that is a must. Feel pretty good about the price, same stuff on Disney site was $2800 with a meal plan and that was not including airfare.

I do have one question, the tickets I bought were for 4 Adult/Junior magic your way base tickets. Will my 5 and 7 year old be able to get in on those? If not i can just sell 2 and buy kids tickets.

Got my Cali trip to Disneyland booked for June. Got a real good deal on the Disneyland Hotel. Air Fare, not so much.....

nice!
 

Check out Orlando sea world packages for other fun for the whole family.

I hope this isn't really bad spam.

**** that shit, at 6pm tonight I'll be able to drive down to Disney World and just jump the gates and roam around for free. :thumb:

Leaving on Friday. 10 day trip FTW! This time, we've added Universal Studios to the itinerary. That could be a nice change of pace, considering we usually are WDW-only peeps. Plus, the food and wine festival is going on. I love food and I love wine, and being drunk in Disney is quite fun.

We are considering booking our next trip to Disney. The kids are clamoring for it, and I'm thinking we "owe" them one presumably last trip there. Frankly, there's alot more of the world I need to go see, but whatever.

The key thing here is that we're likely going early in the summer, in June, so swimming/pools are suddenly an important consideration, and somethign I know NOTHING about at Disney. So a few questions:

1. is it worth it to add the water park package to the base tickets. Basically, the 8 day magic pass gets you into one park per day. Add park hopper for $234. Add water parks for another $234, and it's like "holy crap, that's $500 more just on tickets?!"

2. alternative to water parks is to stay at a lodge (we will be staying at the park unless more experienced heads on here give us a better plan) that has a great pool. Which resorts have the best pools? Our general rule is to cheap out on accomodations -- as long as it's clean and functional, we're fine. We don't loiter in the room -- we're too busy being out and about, so springing extra for rooms isn't our usual plan. But if a park has a fantastic pool with several slides, etc., maybe...?


Thoughts? I'll take referrals to websites for more insight. Glad to do my own legwork.

If you aren't against staying off property, you can rent a home with pool for a decent price. We did it one year and loved it. Was nice to come home from the parks, grill out back while the kids wound down the day with swimming.

I'm not adamantly against it. I was toying with it because perhaps the family would like to see some of the other stuff Orlando has to offer...

If you stay off-site, you'll lose out on Magical Express from Orlando Intl. You'll also lose out on Disney Dining Plan, and you'll lose out on Extra Magic Hours.
