I read an article on the Around Disney blog on ocregister.com, apparently a couple is going to try and visit disneyland everyday for a whole year. Why do I feel like MW's might have beat them to it?
Just wanted to share a photo from our trip last week. I (literally) ran into one of the pirates coming down the stairs. Thankfully he was a good sport about it, and offered to take our photo.
Great pic of you and your crew bud! - donnievegas1127.5 #72 4-10-12 11:13AMLike Reply

I have a question for everyone. I know that dinsney recently said that they would begin to enforce the fastpass return time. Does anyone know if they are actually doing this? I will be there tomorrow and it would be helpful to know.
They probably will start doing that sometime, but it won't be for a while. You won't have to worry about it tomorrow! - JoeDownTheRabbitHole395.9 #336 4-2-12 12:01AMLike Reply
According to the CM working the FP machine at Star Tours this afternoon, they are not enforcing this at Disneyland right now. She went on to say that there is a start date planned, but doubts it will ever be enforced at Disneyland. Take that for what it's worth. - N2TheBlu4.3 #12122 4-2-12 12:04AMLike Reply

Stay in DL. I think most international folks will want to see the original park. (Nothing wrong with DCA) Start on Main Street and make your way through all of the lands. Get fast passes for what you can while visiting each land. Be sure to get a churro a dole whip and try having dinner at Plaza Inn so you can take in the parade. Make sure you take a break and enjoy Fantasmic. Ride the train to whatever land you didn't visit or if you're lucky, to go back to the lands with your favorite attractions. If you can go during the week, go then. Be sure to pick them up a 1st Visit Button, which are in City Hall, and grab a couple of park maps in the language of their county. Those are in a stand by Holly Jolly Bakery by the wait time board. A nice little soveniour for them. And most of all, have fun!! 😃😃 - DisneyFanZoe1083.8 #77 3-13-12 4:00PMLike(14) Reply
This. Most definitely! Don't run them ragged collecting FPs, it's great to be able to do everything but it's definitely best to create a quality, lasting trip that they will enjoy! And don't forget Small World, I think a group of international students would appreciate this ride a lot! - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 3-13-12 4:05PM
That's sort of what I was thinking. I told them all to think of 1 thing that they absolutely want to see so I can plan things out. Show wise i think WOC allows you to do more, because you don't have to be there so early. - MontanaMouse 300.0 #612 3-13-12 4:22PM
One of them said they would like to see a character from The Lion King. Does anyone know if Rafiki is out frequently? Or is the parade the only opportunity for this? Other wise they might just have to settle for @SueBayou in her hat. - MontanaMouse300.0 #612 3-13-12 11:22PMLike(1) Reply
I have seen rafiki quite a bit in the last year, but to be sure, ask at city hall or one of the character hosts. He may be at the plaza inn for breakfast, FYI. - bluefairy 627.0 #174 3-14-12 1:51AM
