Very nice. They look like postcards. Hmmm...do kids today even know what a postcard is, or what you do with them? - DisneyGrandma338.6 #438 10-30-12 8:26AMLike Reply
Did you do the WOC seating with it? I wonder if it's worth it or not. We did the box lunch last year and it didn't seem worth it to me. - nelsonzz401.3 #331 9-24-12 3:05PMLike Reply
It's a bonus to having a great meal. You just order an appetizer ( biscuits. You can thank me later) then your entree and dessert. After all, you've gotta eat. I'm not sure this would be my choice with kids though. - SueBayou 2012.0 #34 9-24-12 3:26PM
That's what we are debating. Our large group is eating there but most of them don't have kids. We have a seven- and three-year old. I see they have a kid's menu, so we may do it. The biscuits sound amazing! - nelsonzz401.3 #331 9-24-12 3:35PMLike Reply

I would suggest calling aaa if you have it. Their travel department may be able to help you get a 7 day at the best possible rate - Pixarprincess531.4 #215 9-20-12 12:08PMLike Reply
We DO have AAA but in looking all I could see were 5-day passes. Maybe I'll ring them up. - nelsonzz401.3 #331 9-20-12 12:11PMLike Reply
Has anyone been able to extend their park hopper at the ticket booth? This is what my buddy did... - nelsonzz401.3 #331 9-20-12 5:03PMLike Reply
They should be able to tell you if you call. I doubt the ticket booth agent could do anything that is not a policy for them to do. Good luk and let us know what they say. I feel for your situation! - meridafan 1035.5 #83 9-20-12 5:13PM

Great point. I should say "excited for October, because that's when we are actually going". But I am excited to hear reports of the new stuff on June 15th. - nelsonzz 401.3 #331 5-15-12 3:37PM
There is something fun and crazy being there opening day. I will be there June 14th for the media event. Hopefully having the parks closed to the public that day will help a little bit. Crowds will be there for a loooooooong time. Can't wait. - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #380 5-15-12 3:39PM

Not live! From our quick trip earlier in the week.
Somehow, on our recent trips, we never made it on to the Monorail. Both of our kids LOVED it. We'll be mixing it in next time for sure. - nelsonzz401.3 #331 5-10-12 2:53PMLike Reply
We are only two days away from going to Disneyland for a surprise trip for our kids. I am in full-blown "Disney Stupid" mode. Only Disney music/podcasts on my iPhone, reading MW over and over. So exciting!

We're contemplating a quick trip down this Friday. How have the crowds been? I know it's Spring Break, but has it been busy to the point of "unable to move or do anything" or just busy? We don't mind it being a little busy, but if you More...
Cold and rain have been a factor and have recently decreased crowds. But you can bet as soon as it warms up, the typical spring break crowds will return. - MyPark944.1 #91 3-18-12 10:27PMLike Reply
That's kind of what I was wondering. I've never been there over Spring Break, so I didn't know what to expect. I was there last winter a couple of weeks before Christmas, and it was plenty busy. I just didn't know if Spring Break was even busier still. - nelsonzz401.3 #331 3-18-12 10:31PMLike Reply

When it happens, it gets posted on MW. You definitely notice, but October is not usually overly crowded unless there's a treat party. - bluefairy627.1 #174 2-21-12 2:23PMLike Reply
We went during UEA last year and it was busier than usual for October. Definitely still worth it though! - Shingo135.7 #2510 2-22-12 7:38AMLike Reply
I can't seem to post my YouTube video so that it shows up in the post. I tried copy and pasting the embed code, and I tried to post the URL, but it doesn't work. Can't find the answer in the FAQs either. Anybody know? TIA.

My little guy has a pair of kids doctor scrubs that are about the right color...if you could find kids scrubs you could just synch the legs tighter. We got them at the UCSF medical center. If you have a big children's hospital near by they might have them in the gift shop? - iDreamAboutDumbo307.3 #574 10-18-11 9:41PMLike Reply

Hey, that's a good idea. We may be able to find the right color that way. There's a couple of stores around here that sell medical scrubs here. I'll call them tomorrow to see about sizes/colors. Thanks iDream! - nelsonzz401.3 #331 10-18-11 9:49PMLike Reply

Being fairly new here on MW, I recognize the status of having a Grape Soda pin and how it is desired by everyone. But why is this? Is it exceedingly rare, or is it a MW "thing"?

They're hard to find. I look at it as more of an "Up" thing. That little pin carries a huge message. - VeloMouseGirl549.7 #202 7-1-11 8:32PMLike Reply
They are super hard to find, and they are a prized possession for mw'ers but I think a lot of people like it for the message it stands for in the movie and it relates to them as well! - kritomiester328.3 #482 7-1-11 8:35PMLike Reply
