Do all the "big kid rides" (if they're open) and maybe do one nice meal either breakfast or lunch and just enjoy your time together. One of the best times I had with my husband there before he was my husband we rode everything we wanted, tried on silly hats, and after the parade he was in the middle of Main Street collecting Mickey shaped confetti for my scrapbook because he knew I was going to scrapbook that day and I did. At the end of the day he even gave me his ticket to put with mine and it just so happened my ticket had Minnie and his had Mickey. Girls like the simple things. Enjoy your day!

Share an ice cream, do wine tasting in DCA, go through the displays and take your time reading the park history in the Opera House, see the shows the kiddos don't like sitting through, and be sure to have someone take a photo of the two of you to commemorate your Disney date. - mandigutterrose156.4 #2204 5-3-13 7:53PMLike Reply

Thanks for the update. I also wanted to add that the contractor who was injured was an outside contractor similar to the ones who worked on the Main Street Train Station and would talk as the train rode by. - letsrckthis161.5 #2129 4-14-13 11:53PMLike Reply
Someone fill me in. Did they change the height requirement on Matterhorn Bobsleds? According to MW wait times it's now 40". It was 42" last time I went.
We are going to the park tomorrow. What do you think?? He is trying soooo hard to stand up straight!!!

This^^^. Back when DCA opened and Maliboomer was still an attraction there, I wasn't tall enough to ride so the very kind CM told me to take off my socks and stick them in the heel of my shoe to make me look taller. It sure worked. Great way to get taller for the day! - BrerRabbit 228.7 #1262 4-7-13 6:51PM
PFF is a great addition. My kids love the renditions of the story time plays. So well done. And the fact that the kids get to be right next to the stage is great.

We are thinking about doing the Halloween party on the 15th. Is the whole park open or just a section? Are you able to go to DCA as well?
you can go to DCA if you have a regular pass, the halloween party ticket will not get you into DCA. The only land that is closed is toontown for the party. with the exception of scheduled refurb attractions and a hand full of eateries, everything will be open. - GoofyMom77108.8 #2923 9-30-12 9:09AMLike Reply

Most likely won't find out if there are any height requirement changes until a few weeks before the re-opening of the ride. Since its not under refurb now why worry about it? - KermitFan13407.6 #321 9-15-12 8:37PMLike Reply

How exciting! Birthdays at Disney are the best :) and congrats to your son for hitting 40.5. A RAK can be almost anything. One idea you could do is explain to your daughter that because it is her birthday, she can make someone just as happy as she is by giving away something of her choice.

I thought the same thing. I decided to just wait out the blackout period and then we wiil go again. It's great cuz the excitement is building for the kids. As for the long lines, we always wake up early and get to the parks when they open. It's amazing how much you can get in those first couple of hours. We only go about once a month cuz the drive is an hour with no traffic. - Gabster1200.0 #1634 7-29-12 5:35PMLike Reply

Wait yOu said you don't like lines? Why would getting a deluxe or premium help you speed up the line? What we did is get the so cal too because the pass is mostly blocked on the days that Disney is packed! And usually slow on the days that you can go.

I can't wait for this Blackout to end. I am so mad the DCA opened CL and gave my family 3 weeks to experience it before B.O. I am pretty sure we are going to spend all of September there. Ok thanks Disney. Maybe that was a smart move. :-)
My guess is they are angry they only got 3 weeks to enjoy Carsland abc wonder why Disney would do that and then realized it probably a smart move on Disney since he and so many others with SoCal pass would always be there - MarshaMouse 2866.6 #15 7-28-12 3:08PM

I need to agree here. I know you want your son to enjoy every ride possible but as Edna said - those height restrictions are for his safety. Besides, that is part of why growing up is fun!

When my daughter hit 40 inches we made a big deal about it and went on all the rides she could go on in DL. But for whatever reason when we got to Jumping Jellyfish in DCA she was still about a half inch away and she wasn't allowed on. She was so upset. I tried to console her but she didn't understand. She thought she shrunk. So just FYI for when the time comes. - tballzz390.1 #346 4-22-12 9:30AMLike Reply
