i am going to be getting AP (thanks to the payment option for ALL californians woohoo). but i want to get them a few months before we go... is that possible with payment plan option?! if so, would i recieve my first monthly bill shortly a More...
question: for the monthly payment option for AP, how do they approve you?! i am going to be going with that option but i dont have any credit history so i dont want to get my hopes up in case im not even accepted. thanks!
Everyone is accepted as long as you have a CC/Debit card for them to take the monthly payment. - Katrayher739.0 #138 6-21-11 8:45PMLike Reply
I don't think it's something that requires credit. They just charge your card every month! Can someone else verify? - TandAlly213.5 #1433 6-21-11 8:45PMLike Reply
Oh okay awesome thank you so much for your help! & another question lol, we are going on our trip in december and i wanted to get our AP before we go.... So can i just buy them at any time before my trip but then just not have them activated till our first day there?!? - Jennabennabofenna32.2 #4261 6-21-11 8:53PMLike Reply

Seeing all these pictures of yummy food being posted in the lounge is making me feel really hungry. So im daydreaming of what i MUST eat when i go to the parks. What is on your list of "must have yummy treats?".
Dole whip, cream cheese pretzel, and a frozen lemonade. A churro sometimes. - storminmormon21.9 #4886 6-18-11 2:23PMLike Reply

Its now silly symphony from one of the OLLLDDDD rides at Disneyland - ProstheticPhred11.1 #6426 6-17-11 9:57PMLike Reply
they rethemed it from an orange to the classic silly symphonies cartoon "the band concert". i love the retheme! far more disney. - nicoleface1247.5 #65 6-17-11 9:59PMLike Reply
Oh, that would make sense! They re-themed it because part of the DCA "makeover" is to make it more Disney. They're bringing back a lot of the old cartoon shorts, which is what the Silly Symphonies were. - Spoonful_O_Sugar435.8 #283 6-17-11 10:05PMLike Reply
Ohh i see, thank you! I wasnt attatched to the orange or anything lol i just saw a pic and knew something was missing!! I am sad though that the california letters are gone :( - Jennabennabofenna32.2 #4261 6-17-11 10:10PMLike Reply
anyone part of the Disney Movie Club? i want to join but my SO says its not worth it cuz we end up paying the same as if we bought movies from walmart. ohh and do they offer more titles after you choose your first 5? thanks!
Yeah, they offer quite a few titles! Even the old ones are often available. Then once your agreement is up you become a VIP which usually means better discounts and deals. - ChipnDalefan13.6 #5897 6-15-11 5:50PMLike Reply
I'm a member joined before i got married and my husband wont let me order any movies he thinks they cost more than the stores, and he says why buy the movies when there is netflix. I don't agree but he's the money maker in the family so i can't argue. - Ashbunn49.9 #3750 6-15-11 6:00PMLike Reply

Chloe at the zoo for trick or treat night last year. I soo wish we could go to DL for halloween... hopefully next year though. Who goes to DL for Halloween?! & what kind of fun things go on during that time?!
Well the Trick or Treat party, Halloween decorations, SM and HM re-theming, and last year my niece and I went to a party in the lobby at the Grand. That last one was for Grand guests only so they probably have them at the other DLR hotels, too. - oxjulietelizabethxo2.7 #36248 6-15-11 10:10AMLike Reply

how does pin trading work in Dl & DCA? i heard that if you have pins to trade and want a certain pin from a CM they HAVE to trade. or am i wrong?
Cms do HAVE to trade. Only kids can trade from the blue/green lanyards though. All other color lanyards are adult friendly. Two pins mac per trade per cm per guest. - MagicFeather79.6 #3277 6-8-11 8:41PMLike Reply
The pins that CMs have are not their own. The pins are supplied by Disney. This is one of the ways to get hidden Mickey pins. Other is to buy the mystery packs in the pin stores, but those are hidden Mickey pins from 3 months back. - Coaster9128.8 #1 6-8-11 9:56PMLike Reply
They do not accept a pin if you are offering a duplicate of a pin they already have on their lanyard/pin holder. - DesperateMousewife873.8 #102 6-8-11 9:58PMLike Reply
No kids, but I bought my niece & nephew theirs and they are 4. They really don't get the trading concept yet, but they like the pins. - WhatHappensInDisneyland2201.9 #29 6-8-11 10:18AMLike Reply

I don't really like them either. The world is scary, and I don't see the point in rushing our kids into that. I love all Disney films, but I can do without the violence. Especially if it's geared towards kiddos. - DisneyFanZoe1083.8 #77 5-29-11 10:06PMLike Reply
