we had loads of compliments from in Dland. the scarecrow made a comment about toshistation and power converters as well. was awesome. today...no costume!!
In Halifax, Canada the past two weeks. I love Canada...but the one main downside why I don't think I can live here....Disneyland is WAY too far away. Just wanted to commiserate
Is it just me or does it seem that blackout days for the deluxe are consistently light crowds?? Thinking of upgrading next year if my theory keeps up
Similarly, Disneyland website shows 10% discount for Premium AP for dining but the passholder tab says 15%.....???? - ToshiStation53.5 #3688 7-4-11 4:33PMLike Reply
Not Disneyland related....but I'm so excited for True Blood!!! Go Eric. K, report if needed, but had to let it out. :)
I already watched it. - Mrsblue692.4 #146 6-26-11 9:04PMLike Reply
I've never watched that. Is it good?? - Katrayher739.1 #138 6-26-11 9:06PMLike Reply
Depends on your tastes...if you're curious try the pilot episode...you would either like it or hate it. Very ummm...well its not Disney...very adult I guess - ToshiStation53.5 #3688 6-26-11 9:10PMLike Reply
Do you think Fathers Day will be busy, average, slow??

Mothers day was packed. Even though it was bat day too. Its getting hot and no work. I see it being crowded. 90/100 on the rating. - Chumash28764.1 #130 6-18-11 3:21PMLike Reply
Thanks Chumash for your insight. I'll find out if we're right tomorrow :) - ToshiStation53.5 #3688 6-18-11 4:36PMLike Reply
Debating with myself whether to go AGAIN on Sunday. Just went two weeks ago, and two weeks before that, and two weeks...well, you get the idea. But if I do I must find ways to avoid spending so much $$$. Any ideas?
avoid stores and bring your own food. that's all i got. haha. - nicoleface1279.5 #65 6-17-11 3:19PMLike Reply

Eat on the way into the parks bring a bottle of water, leave by lunch time. Eat at El Pollo Loco on the way home. - Orville307.3 #576 6-17-11 3:25PMLike Reply
@ nicoleface-LOL. Thanks all....will attempt to NOT, I repeat NOT buy a Monte Cristo, Dole Whip, Pin, Vinylmation, Star Wars poster-thingy, or CHewie backpack.

Contemplating heading to the parks soon. I have a Deluxe AP...anyone think it'll be busier in the next few weeks (before SoCal passes are blocked) or after they get blocked in July?
I'm gonna get real annoying and bump this repeatedly in hopes that someone will help me with any insights/past experiences/opinions etc. - ToshiStation53.5 #3688 6-16-11 2:38PMLike Reply
So cal passes are already blocked in most days Shouldn't be too bad especially since it's grad night tonight. Just check the days that the so cals are blocked. - snakeinmyboot4.2 #12880 6-16-11 2:49PMLike Reply
Saturdays are the least busy during peak season. Trust us! - swingingwake217.8 #1390 6-16-11 3:02PMLike Reply
Thanks all...I'd love to do Saturdays but the Deluxe is blocked on Saturdays during summer, so Sundays are my best bet. Again thanks for the help! - ToshiStation53.5 #3688 6-16-11 3:49PMLike Reply
How long do you all think the Star Wars series will be available? Are they likely to sell out by September/October? Any insight from past experiences are appreciated.
WINNER IS drbl95!!!

I hate being sick the Monday after I took Friday off. must get a Dr note when at my appt to 'prove' I'm not just Disneyland-hangover. oh well, at least I can check MW all day
To all those planning on a trip for Friday June 3rd...word is that Star Tours and TLM won't officially be open until 10am, and they will be discouraging being at the entrance prior to 7am (Grad night will be dispersing by then). Just FYI More...

must go on the waterslide, its so fun and i think the adults like it better than the kids. If your back at the hotel by 9pm then go to the pool deck and watch WOC and the fireworks, its like your own private showing. Also you will get a room key when you check in with your name on it that will allow you to charge anything to your room and all merchandise will be delievered to your room by mid night. I loved this place - diznymommy84215.3 #1418 5-31-11 2:47PMLike Reply
$60 pp fore reserved seating for Fantasmic??!! Wow!! Any other ideas from people, besides hanging out in front forever? (we hope to see the first showing, 2nd showing not an option)....for Tomorrow
if you can stand sitting/standing in the smokers section...my fiance and i always watch it from there. its closer then the middle area and actually have benches.lol you just gotta deal with people around you smoking..but there was never anyone being rude about the smoke. - Armenda994.9 #89 5-27-11 12:38PMLike Reply
Thanks Armenda...but my 9 and 3 year old will be with me so that's not an option this round. May have to wait til next weekend when we will be staying at the resort. - ToshiStation53.5 #3688 5-27-11 12:39PMLike Reply
A couple of people have reported it will only be open for CM preview - LBChica1501.6 #52 5-22-11 8:27AMLike Reply
So far, no. However, there's always a chance that it will open without announcement so keep checking back - PrincessJ84.9 #3219 5-22-11 8:56AMLike Reply

Anyone know which ticket booth is Ticket Booth 8? Gotta get my blackout tix there for the AP ST preview on the 28th.
When you're getting off the tram, its on the left side before you go through bag check - BaseballMickey_CM2863.7 #16 5-20-11 11:36AMLike Reply
Ticket booth 8 is the ticket booth that is closest to DCA on the tram side, not the bus side of the Esplanade. If you look on the bus side it has 1-4 and the team side is 5-8. It says Guest Relations on it now. - Disneybird173.1 #1955 5-20-11 11:42AMLike Reply

Thanks!! They do a great job and the CM is wonderful, very helpful. It's pricey ($30) but worth it. Well at least for the star wars freaks I guess ;) - ToshiStation53.5 #3688 5-17-11 6:49PMLike Reply
I have to ask: Any APers that try to get the Star Tours preview that haven't received a "You've won" email yet? Having the feeling most that entered won.
What would you do: going to DL as the only adult. The 9 year old doesn't like the coasters (SM, BTMRR, Matterhorn, even Indiana Jones). The 4 year old wants to start riding them (and is tall enough). Suggestions on how to give both wh More...
IMO, the 9 year old needs to suck it up and go on at least two of them (unless there's a medical reason he/she can't ride). In my experience, kids usually have a blast once you get them on the ride! - Spoonful_O_Sugar436.3 #285 5-14-11 7:54PMLike Reply
They might let the older.wait.at the exits while you ride or bribe the older one lol - yellowtonka237.7 #1138 5-14-11 7:54PMLike Reply
SOS...I made the 9 year old try SM again a few months ago and he had tears in his eyes and said he still didn't like it after the ride wad over. I was proud of him for giving it another shot but at this point he is terrified of them...yet the lil guy wanted to ride it again :/ - ToshiStation53.5 #3688 5-14-11 7:58PMLike Reply
Yellowtonka...thanks for the suggestion..I may see if they will let us do that...hope they will - ToshiStation53.5 #3688 5-14-11 8:01PMLike Reply

Go to guest services to buy your blackout ticket. I think you can buy it the day before. For MM, just go to the gate and show them your room key and you get in. - BakoDisneyDude225.3 #1302 5-13-11 6:58AMLike Reply
Question: Are there any jobs in the water treatment/distribution or ecology discipline at Disneyland? Can't find anything on my profession. Thanks
Thanks interesting. I read an article a while back in the OC Register about how Disney transports all the water from a plant in Huntington Beach. - BaseballMickey_CM2863.7 #16 5-12-11 2:49PMLike Reply
hmmm...thanks for the info BBM!!...I assumed (incorrectly apparently) that due to DL's size that they must have their own system of some sort. - ToshiStation53.5 #3688 5-12-11 2:54PMLike Reply
I use to take the tram backstage, and they had their own water area. So, maybe I'm confused, but i do remember this from about 2 years ago! - Madi204.1 #1576 5-12-11 2:56PMLike Reply
I ALWAYS get the Monte Cristo sandwich. Looking to try something good, new, and not too pricey. Any recommendations?? Also have 2 boys that tend to like traditional kid foods. Love to know from those who are in the know
