I see it like going to the mall to shop no guilt. Since when did you have alone alone time to just to enjoy walking through a small town? Enjoy a meal solo alfresco (think cafe Orleans) and not worry what the kids won't eat? Stop by the perfumery in NOS and get an ap discount on some nice perfume like aqua de Parma? You can actually walk into the glass shop and not worry. See a show without out interruptions think Aladdin. I love a solo trip once in a while. Just go and have fun. - Plumiegirl

A lot of your questions can be answered online. There are many websites out there where you can see school reviews and how the crime is.

YAY!!! A little over a week until our last trip to DLR this year. We'll be there for 5 days & will be staying at the Carousel Inn & Suites. We have never stayed there before: any reviews??
We have stayed at the Carousel twice before. We were pleased with their customer service and the rooms were nice and clean. The last time we were there they were in the middle of a renovation so it should be pretty nice. The breakfast was your basic continental breakfast, mostly carbs and fruit but we didn't have to buy breakfast so that was good. We also like the fact that they are right across the street from the entrance. Hope you enjoy your trip. We are counting down too - 21 days until our annual trip to DL. We are so excited to be there during the Christmas season. It will be our first time. - chantelrj

GACs are not all the same, it depends on your particular issue. Just ask at City Hall, they will ask you questions and determine what is best for you.

I watched on the Disney Parks special for the cruise line that there are tons of activities for children as well as adults. There is a 18 and up pool for parents to relax. There's also a spa and a nightclub. For the kids they have some sort of "day camp" where they have plenty of activities to do and they'll get to sometimes play with characters. There are different shows every night. You rotate restaurants. If you're going to the Caribbean, they have their own special island called Castaway cay. Get to spend a day there. They just opened up the one going through the Mexican riviera. Nnot sure what goes on there - Starr

Stuck inside on a sunny NorCal day, with two sick babies, reading MW and wishing I was inside the parks. 32 days until our next trip!

The countdown ticker for our next family trip to DL says 86 days--too long for me--so my daughter and I are going to squeeze in a girls trip over spring break. Now the ticker says 12 days--that's more like it! We were just there in mid-Fe More...

Just spent a week in Disneyland two weeks ago, and am already planning our next trip for June! This time my mom and sister will be joining us. It's been 25 years since their last trip to Disneyland. We can't wait!!!
LOL! Me too. On my countdown app, it says 112 days, which sounds like for-ev-er to meeeeee!!! - MommaMel 27.9 #4564 2-20-12 10:07PM

Well, our trip is coming to an end--gettting ready to head back to reality :-(. Some highlights: Staying at the GC Hotel, White Water Snacks, WOC, and seeing some attractions we never have before.
Sounds like you have some wonderful memories to take with you. Hope you will return soon. - Tealtownfan

Ugh...such a crappy week at work, coupled with being sick for the past few days; I'm not a happy camper. Only 1 more week until our 5-day vacation at the Happiest Place on Earth. :-(
The best place to leave your troubles behind. Hope u feel better - SpaceRAYnger

Two weeks until our next trip! We typically stay at Good Neighbor hotels, but we're splurging this time and staying at the Grand Californian!!! I have only stayed at a Disney hotel once--DL Hotel in '88--and my husband and kids have never More...
i LOVE the Grand. its super beautiful! def take the time to look around and admire the craftmanship. Also i believe you get into DCA an hour early (correct me if i'm wrong) bc you're staying at a DLR hotel. You have a private enterance into DCA def take advantage of it! you're going to have such an amazing time. i think they do story time and cookies in the evening but i'm not sure what time. We always see little kids in their pjs by the fire being read to. its super cute :) - LolatheSlush

Didn't think Magic Mornings were at DCA just Disneyland. - kskating 378.8 #364 1-27-12 3:06PM
They will give you a paper with all of the activities at the hotel and benefits. It's good to read and see what you want to do. - Mouse4life

Just booked our next trip to Disneyland! We'll be staying in the Grand Californian for the first time. Stoked!!!
My fav hotel ever!!! If you got a downtown Disney room- the fireworks are visible from the balcony and the music is live on the tv in your room! - SteamboatMinnie

Good to know!! I booked a room overlooking downtown disney and did not know you could see the fireworks from the room! Is it a clear view? Do you know if we could invite others to our room to watch it as well (we're inviting a bunch of people to dinner for our daughter's birthday). Never stayed there before! - FindMeAtTheCove 237.3 #1164 1-15-12 2:25PM
