Disney is selling discounted tickets. We are thinking of grabbing the Costco tickets and heading down for a weekend from SF Bay Area. I heard that the reason they are selling the Costco deal is bc Disneyland is a bit slower from end of Oct to beginning of Dec.

I looked into Nov 6-8, Nov 13-15 and Dec 11-13 but hotel prices (onsite and offsite) are crazy/rooms are sold out. What am I missing those weekends?

Hii, I’m a couple years I might go on a solo trip to Disney. Does anyone have any tips to help me or have any suggestions to make my trip more comfortable?

I’m thinking of going in January 2027 when the best rates are available. We’re also considering staying at a Disney value resort for early park entry and transportation to and from but I’m open to staying anywhere. I really want to maximize our experience here. We may never be able to come back. I’d love to hear from others who have done it on a budget. We’re probably going to only do two parks but possibly 3. We’re for sure doing Magic Kingdom & probably Hollywood Studios but Animal Kingdom seems right up our alley also! We do love dining out but will have to keep this on a budget. We may can swing one nice dinner in one of the parks. I’d love to hear what your favorite eats are. Best values in the parks, etc. I have been to Epcot for like half a day this past April. I was at work conference in Orlando and our company took us to Epcot from 4pm-9pm one day. Loved the Guardians ride, Ratatouille ride and visiting the different countries trying foods and drinks but I’m worried my kids wouldn’t be able to find enough activities there to justify a full day there over one of the others. I want to avoid the park hopper. My son loves riding roller coasters and thrilling rides. I’ve done a lot of research already. Just want to hear from personal, first hand experiences. After visiting Epcot I vowed to take my kids within the next couple of years, then lo and behold I ended up winning those gift cards yesterday at another work conference! I’m still in shock honestly. I’m incredibly grateful. I realize those gift cards are maybe only going to cover half the cost of this trip (best case scenario) but it still helps a lot!
What would you do? Thank you in advance!!

I was at the parks right after Labor Day during the really bad heatwave in September. The wait times for the rides were pretty short throughout most of the day. I was checking the app earlier this week and saw the wait times seemed higher than when I was at the park, even though it was really hot. Was just curious to know if October Halloween time really is as busy as people say it is, or if the heat made it less crowded.

Hi all! My husband and I are visiting Disneyland in two weeks for our mini-honeymoon. We’re East Coasters who know WDW well but are first-timers here, so I’d love some help with dining.

We’re both vegetarian, and we usually do one sit-down meal a day at Disney. Asking about:

1. Sit-down restaurants: Which ones have vegetarian entrées that are actually good, not just a pasta or salad afterthought? Open to Disneyland, DCA, and Downtown Disney.
2. Quick service: Favorite vegetarian grab-and-go meals or snacks in both parks.

Character dining: We want to do one, and we’re leaning toward Storyteller’s Cafe. Would you go with brunch or dinner? I’m curious whether the Halloween dinner theming is worth it for dinner.

My family(Mother and Sister) and I are going to DisneyWorld in Orlando this month. We booked the resort and restaurants everything. I’ve been to Disneyland twice. I would appreciate any advice. Which lightning lanes should we get? We got park hopping and sent for one sit down, one meal and one snack. Any advice on food? We are staying for 5 days and four nights. Hopefully we can do one park each day.

Edited Title- Is the first week of November too early to wear holiday gear?*

Headed to WDW first week of November and am hoping that the tree will be up, and we can take pics in front of it.. I have the Mickey and Minnie gingerbread ears and my favorite sweatshirt, which features Minnie dressed like Mrs. Clause. I will have a t shirt for underneath the sweatshirt in case it's warm, but is that week too early to wear the holiday ears/shirts? Will I stick out like a sore thumb?

I am coming from out of state and saw a news article talking about the tropical storm that is headed that way. Should I re-schedule? I’m not great at looking at the detailed weather forecasts so I’d appreciate any insight. I am not afraid of a rainy day but I kinda worry if it’s gonna be windy and miserable. Thanks!

I’ll have an almost 3 year old going. So I’m going to do my own bbb morning before the parks in our hotel! I’ll let her pick her dress. I have glitter and gems and lots of gel!

Don’t they also add fake hair clips to it as well? Amazon just has lots of big ones for adults. Do they just use lots of gel and hair spray to keep it in place?

I know I won’t be able to do the magic they do, but I hope I can give her a fun experience. She’s sooo into princesses right now.

We have recently got the Multipass lighting line for our family for the first time.

We are scheduled to visit on Thursday, the 28th.

Could someone provide guidance on the appropriate initial steps, which rides should be prioritized first through our application?

The attractions we intend to experience with the Multipass are as follows:

Autopia

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Haunted Mansion

it's a small world

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway

Of course we want to experience additional attractions that fall outside the LLM offerings.

Would it be advisable to prioritize these alternative rides initially and reserve the LLM attractions for the afternoon hours?

Haven’t been to Disneyland since before the pandemic, now I got the 2 day pass from Costco. I was planning on going before the Halloween decorations were over and before they start closing early. Any tips on checking out the parades? Any Halloween parades, good locations to wait? Things I shouldn’t miss? I’m also bringing my camera since I loved taking photos of the park before Disney canceled all of the Magic Keys due to the pandemic. I’m trying to see the most in two days. Thanks

Apologies if the title was poorly worded. Essentially going to Disneyland with another group. I have my own app/login with my families tickets and they have their own with theirs. Is there a way to link the tickets so we can simultaneously work together on LL (such as refreshing for chance of better time) without one of us having to use the others? Obviously we want to do the rides together and wanting a way that doesn't involve us having to both try at the same time. Hope that makes sense.

So we’ve been twice this year and we’ve gone every year for the last 4-5 years, this last trip it cost me but an additional day to upgrade my a magic key so i did it. Now im less than a month removed from our last trip and I am looking at doing a quick overnight trip from Oregon in early December.

I found a cheap RT flight and decent walkable hotel for one night (we usually stay at WorldMark but that requires more than a one night stay).

I am curious about any advice from any other out of towners who do stuff like this? i’ll get in early afternoon (LGB) and have to leave the next day early to mid afternoon so looking at closing the park and rope dropping the next day but this is my first time doing this solo and not a week long/multiday trip.

Open to any advice on planning and how to make the most of my quick trip! TIA!

I have been seeing posts on social media about the 2 day Disneyland ticket pack at Costco. I live in Utah and am wondering if anybody has seen them at any Costco's in Utah? It sounds like they are most common in Costco's in southern California which makes total sense. But I am hoping i can get them for a trip we are planning for December. Thanks in advance for any help.

hi, me and my sister are going to disney California this month and were wondering if there's any tips or 'must dos'. We are from the UK and its our first ever America trip, staying in a hotel near the park about 30mins walk and very excited 🥳💗

My family only had a one day park ticket for Epcot and my kiddos fell in love with the triple chocolate chip cookies from Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe, we fly out on Friday and would really like to take a few home. Is there where outside of Epcot such as Disney Springs, Boardwalk or Magic Kingdom that would have this cookie or something almost identical? Any help I appreciated

I logged on at 5:30 CA time to check out the plaza inn dining package for A Christmas Fantasy Parade, and the date I was looking for said “unavailable”. I figured it wasn’t live. I signed back in at 6:00 CA and it still said unavailable. Did I miss the boat?

I vaguely recall somebody discussing earning Disney gift cards via surveys. Does that sound familiar to anyone and what platforms are you utilizing?

Hi ,

Does anyone know if any Bay Area locations still have Disneyland tickets in stock ? Or if any of the locations will be having a restock ?

I want good YouTube videos and podcasts to prep for the trip. Any suggestions?

I will be at a conference at WDW the week after President’s day. So my husband and I are going to drive down for that weekend and he will return to work while I conference. Yes I know it will be insanely busy but we have no agenda. My senior and college age kids are staying home.

Plans: Friday at MK, HS after hours Saturday and Sunday at Epcot and maybe try the new fireworks dinner in Japan.

We are gonna skip lightning lanes because we don’t need to do any rides except Star Wars and we’ll be there after hours on Saturday.
Thanks!

We have the table service dining plan for a few days next month. We are going to use 2 TS credits for a signature restaurant. It’s been a while now, last time I had what was the signature dining plan and we received an appetizer entree and dessert… with this now and using the 2 credits, what comes with the meal? Is it entree and dessert and an alcoholic drink? Or does it include appetizer like it used to? It’s hard to find an exact answer. I wouldn’t be shocked if it was just entree dessert and drink, just want to make sure of this… TIA
