Know the movie "Ted?" One of my dear friends (who I just took to DL for the first time last week), shared with me that his "thunder buddy" was Pooh growing up. This is too cute!! - lotusflow3r21.9 #4983 6-4-13 1:43PMLike Reply

Live, the HM line is super short. Walked right in!
It enhances the experience for me... Feels like I stumbled upon the Mansion or something, rather than willingly waiting in line to go inside. - JRDrummer_CM793.0 #123 2-11-13 12:30PMLike(2) Reply

FYI, River Belle Terrace has delish breakfast, but they stop serving it at 11:30 AM (for 5 breakfast plates & 4 drinks $50 w/AP discount)
Thanks for a 'before' pic :). My daughter is hooked on that fruit plate, I don't blame her. Enjoy your breakfast and the view!! - Linzee533.2 #219 2-11-13 11:46AMLike Reply
Yes, there was kiwi, strawberries, pineapple, 3 types of melon, and several bunches of grapes. Around $7 with AP disc :) - mrsbrownthms 225.6 #1320 2-11-13 11:57AM
That fruit plate beats a lot of others I've seen around the parks. Nice! - LaneSparrow316 846.9 #108 2-11-13 12:00PM
:) I'm sorry to post a picture of what is a pretty common sight, but I was pleased at how much better my pics turned out with the new phone camera, lol. plus, i never really get sick of this! - mrsbrownthms225.6 #1320 1-6-13 1:25AMLike Reply
It's so clever how the garland in Carsland is made of air filters & wrenches for snowflakes. I love the attention to detail that Disney does like no other!
Cute! Love the wrench snowflakes. Ingenious! Haha. - meridafan1098.7 #75 12-18-12 8:13PMLike Reply
A different look to the beautiful castle :) Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I am so thankful to live in So Cal & have APs so I can visit my happy place whenever I want. I am blessed!
Beautiful, Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful both of my beautiful kids are in college. The bonus is they go 4 miles from DL so I have two happy places to visit so being 68 miles away seems really close. - ShariRenee1575.9 #51 11-22-12 11:17PMLike(1) Reply

Does anyone know how to get a ride on the Lilly Belle train? I asked at city hall today, but the cm said they don't give out tix.:(
Go to Main Street station. Ask if the Lilly Belle is on the tracks. If so, ask if you can make a reservation :) - DisneyBride°O°370.4 #387 10-22-12 1:56PMLike Reply
you have to do it soon after the parks open. the reservations go quickly. - nicoleface 1325.0 #62 10-22-12 1:57PM
I went to the main st station shortly after park opened at 10, but no CMs were around. Maybe I went to the wrong place. I'll try again next time. Thanks so much!! - mrsbrownthms225.6 #1320 10-22-12 2:11PMLike Reply
Just go inside where the model train is and wait till you see a cm/conductor. Also if there is any chance of rain (like today) they typically don't allow rides - Pixarprincess 531.5 #220 10-22-12 2:17PM
I'll bet that's why, it's a bit cloudy today :) but I'm bound & determined to ride it someday, someday....... - mrsbrownthms225.6 #1320 10-22-12 2:23PMLike Reply
It also doesn't run on really hot days because there is no AC and no air flow. Just go right at opening and ask nicely :) - Sarafina400.6 #339 10-22-12 2:28PMLike Reply
Bahahaha Luke is a kid with a cast iron stomach, lol. It is from Hungry Bear Restaurant. About $11. The bumble bee cupcake was heavenly too! - mrsbrownthms225.6 #1320 10-22-12 1:59PMLike Reply
First Disney trip without the kids & it's just way too crowded to enjoy. Headed to DTD for a movie!

That is when you enjoy things like people watching and shows and here is a strange concept for some.... Enjoy every minute of it because some people never get to experience it. - Tinkerbellmom4 300.3 #626 10-13-12 8:06PM
That's when you meet up with other MWers :) after seeing how crowded it is today that's my plan in two weeks! Haha - disneymomma87 163.9 #2136 10-13-12 9:06PM
It's easier to get around if it's crowded when you don't have kids and I love that it doesn't matter how long the wait is cause the kids aren't there to get antsy. - TrueFromOzLovesDisney312.4 #566 10-13-12 8:04PMLike(2) Reply

Oh, she means on RSR at the Luigi's Tires part of the ride.

Traffic getting off the 57 @ Ball is very slow. Wonder if there's an Angel's game tonight too. Finally on the bus to the parks! Surrounded by Dappers looking fiiinnnee! Lol
Okay, after reading several posts referring to "lurkers" I'm slightly paranoid that I might be one! Lol. So, um, Hi? My fam & I are 2nd year AP holders and can't get enough Disney in our lives. Oh, and hubby & I both teach 8th grade. Go a More...

Go right after park opens, they fill up fast and just know it doesnt run on rainy days - Sarafina 400.6 #339 7-24-12 6:14PM
They also won't schedule rides if it is going to be hot out because they have no way to cool the car down. - rehull199.2 #1684 7-24-12 10:55PMLike Reply

This ap has a great feature called the index. Use that with the wait times of the attractions and the pictures posted( so you see the crowds) , and you'll get a good idea of the crowds - Villescas8592.8 #190 7-22-12 3:06PMLike(2) Reply

Ariel's Grotto....Who has been there, and any idea of the cost? My little girl has asked to go there for her birthday, we are AP, but have never been there. I heard they have a WOC package too. Anyone have advice please?? Thx
Just to let you know that Ariel's Grotto has dropped the WOC meal package. And feel free to check out our MW FOOD section where many of us have written reviews - BaseballMickey_CM2992.9 #15 7-8-12 11:10PMLike Reply
Does this mean they are doing dinner with the princesses again?! - JessM4 269.5 #847 7-8-12 11:19PM
Yes, this is strictly character dining and the princesses will vary but usually include Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White and Aurora. Regarding the food, here's what the Disney site says: Select your entrée from the fixed-price menu where choices range from
pasta and slow-roasted tri-tip to seafood soup; kids enjoy chicken on
sugar cane skewers, spaghetti and more. Meals at Ariel's Grotto include
family-style salads and desserts. The price listed just says "More than $36 per person" and they do this for breakfast, llunch and dinner. - MsStarlite201.6 #1641 7-8-12 11:26PMLike Reply
and don't forget to make a reservation :-) (714) 781-DINE or email dine@disneyland.com The email is super easy and you won't have to sit on hold for so long. Also, if you have food allergies or have a vegetarian in your group, etc. you can let them know - MsStarlite201.6 #1641 7-8-12 11:34PMLike Reply

I was bummed last Saturday when they turned on the lights without the music playing. I had seen the lighting before, but it was my friend's first time. The music makes it come alive! - susieQzee 486.8 #251 7-5-12 3:44PM
The reason the effect didn't work right Saturday was probably due to power fluctuations in the city of Anaheim. It messed with some of the animatronics on RSR too. Too bad your friend couldn't see it. But that just gives them a reason to come back! :) - coasterbuf 9.4 #7099 7-5-12 7:14PM
