I've got a question for anyone that has the chase Disney checking account. After you use it 5 times with non-pin purchases you get the $25 in rewards right? Well how long does it usually take for that to hit my acount?

Hey mw! It's been forever! Anywho... Got a question. Can someone explain the world of color dining thing? From what I'm reading you go to ariels grotto to eat and come back for a reserved seat later?
No seating, just a preferred area to stand. The food is great though! I'd recommend getting reservations at around 6 because your tickets to WOC is at 9. I'd try to get out of there around 8 and hang out to get a good view. Hope this helps! - tina1154.4 #69 8-17-10 5:47PMLike Reply
Trattoria has a dining package too, and there's also boxed picnic style lunches too. The picnic is by far the cheapest (around $15 or so), but all three will guarantee you a WoC pass. - John10.3 #59867 8-17-10 5:49PMLike Reply

Attn. MWrs!! First person to find me gets to pick either a vinylmation or pin from my bag! I'm wearing a tank top with a Mickey tattoo on my arm! I'm with my girlfriend Lynette, mom and grandpa!
So does anyone have their own "thing" they do at the park? My girlfriend and I collect pins, so whenever we ride Buzz, the loser buys the winner a pin since the store is at the exit!

Yes 007 is right there are hard long hikes like half dome, medium hikes like yosemite falls, or pretty easy not too long hikes like mirror lake... Whatever you're capabilities there will be something to suit you - LittleMermaid31.5 #4298 4-12-10 8:58PMLike Reply
Yosemite lodge and curry village have rooms with bathrooms with showers. They are the best but reservations are usually hard to get for in June. We usually call a year in advance. Once got lucky and called week before someone just cancelled. - E-Ticket771.9 #128 4-12-10 8:58PMLike Reply

Is it pretty expensive to live near Disneyland? I've been considering the move for some time now. What is the rent of an average appartment?
I don't recommend living right near Disneyland. Unless you're at the resort, it's not the best area. There are some great parts of anaheim and Fullerton. I'd search rent.com - LaceySue328.8 #478 2-8-10 5:39PMLike Reply
Anahiem does have some nice areas, for example near Angel Stadium they just built some new beautiful apartments only problem is you'll have to deal with all traffic from the stadium and Honda center. You would probably have the same problem leaving near DL. I would try a surrounding city. - Simplytink13.7 #5872 2-8-10 5:59PMLike Reply

Places like Plaza Inn or Redd Rocketts PP you can share a meal with someone because the portions are huge. I bring my own water and snacks and eat breakfast in my hotel room. If hotel has no breakfast we bring cereal,danish and breakfast bars. Mimi's is a good place to go for soup and salad meals too. - Disneymom2-0.2 #121097 2-1-10 11:18AMLike Reply
