I'm just a girl from the East Bay who loves herself some Disneyland! I am a new mommy to my adorable son, James! I like to keep it positive and I don't like drama! I think MW should stay as drama-free as possible!
The Giants are hosting "Pixar Noght at the Park"...sounds like an awesome opportunity for a Bay Area MW meet up, if you ask me! GO GIANTS!
It's Monday May 20 7:15 pm. You get access to a pre game party in seal plaza which includes food music, special appearances by mike and sulley, a giants Pixar t shirt, and John Laster is throwing out the first pitch! - CourtyAstroBlisters440.2 #282 4-30-13 8:39PMLike(1) Reply

Are you allowed to bring small ice chests into DL? My mother in law said she read you couldn't bring them in, but I think I did it last time with no problems!
No hard side or wheeled ones. There are lockers outside the parks at the picnic area where you can stash one, if you must. - bluefairy627.1 #174 3-31-13 5:48PMLike Reply

Question: to get the HoJo discounted rate, do you have to be an AP or can you just be a MouseWait member? Thanks for the info! I am stoked to be booking a trip in April so my 2 year old son can see "Mickey's House"!
Just call In House Reservations and ask for the Mousewait Rate which is at a 15% discount. If you are an AP, its 20%. However, if youre an AP, just mention Mousewait anyway when you check in. It helps the app by letting the hotel know how awesome MW is ;) - djbreakdown567.0 #195 1-3-13 1:05PMLike(2) Reply

Dear Disney,
This is the way Ursula is supposed to look! She's not supposed to be skinny like your new villain doll. She's voluptuous and curvy, and should be represented that way!'
From,
Me
Artists are allowed to envision something any way they want to. The new designer doll is just ONE representation of Ursula. This look is not permanent it's just for this line of dolls and merch. Don't like it? Don't buy it! There are other dolls already depicting Ursula how she looks in the movie. This new doll still has the essence of Ursula. She's all about Body Language- it's not about the size it's how she throws it around. - MayBie1864.2 #40 6-26-12 9:08AMLike(4) Reply
Exactly. It's not about size, it's how she throws it around. So there wasn't any reason to make her a stick. Bigger woman can be fashionable as well. The only thing resembling ursula in that version is her hair and skin tone. And your views can go both ways. Don't like the post?? Don't post in it! Just playing a little devil's advocate. - Poisen_Ivy 258.0 #926 6-26-12 4:53PM

Question: is the Disney dining plan worth the money? We were thinking of adding a 3 day plan to our four day trip! I'd love opinions!
Yes it's definitely worth it! I had it when I went to Disneyworld, I bought the cheapest one that is two snacks and two meals and it was more than worth it. They give you so much food and there are lots of options. More importantly you don't have to worry about carrying cash around or adding up how much each meal will cost. Definitely takes some unneeded stress out of what could be a lovely day! :-) - eldieblue5.3 #10051 6-12-11 10:27AMLike Reply
