    DS woke up @7 and the 1st thing he said crying "mommy I slept through Fantasmic". We told him we'd go back and watch it Friday. We will probably go and camp out for a prime spot again.
    9:18am by ropewalker2
    It was a bit more crowded @DL yesterday. DCA seemed very light we rode Grizzly(FP),Jumping Jellyfish,Little Mermaid stopped and had dinner @Boardwalk pizza and pasta and really enjoyed it. Finished the day w/Toy story MM and WOC! Another fantastic day!!

    If kids need somewhere to run around or if u need break, Redwood Creek trail in DCA, meet & greets of Russell & Dug from Up!
    8:20am by moorparknay15
    Wow. Thank you so much! That was a LOT of info!
    9:00am by NotThatKevinSmith
    Hope I didn't make your head explode! ;-) and people say they don't want to come to DLR because it's smaller. Just so much more to do especially the details. If u do funwheel, you can see into Carsland altho I have yet to do this.

  • Just wanted to make sure, does DL allow you to bring in a plastic water bottle and maybe a small snack such as almonds? Thanks.

    No problem. Consider bringing a Bobble bottle or drink flavoring packets. Water is bit nasty for refills. Or get from CS which is filtered. I bring trail mix & protein bars too
    8:57am on 5/15/12 by sciutoa
    Love the Bobble bottle!
    11:33am on 5/15/12 by AngelDisney
    @sciutoa, what's CS? I always take a bottle in with me, but I buy more if I need more. However, I will refil if I can find CS and it tastes good enough.

    3:02pm on 5/15/12 by moorparknay15
    Rancho del Zocalo(on cart outside where they keep hot sauces), Pizza Port, Boardwalk Pizza, Plaza Inn have self serve fountains. Usually at counters they'll give you small cup. One hot day I went to Troubadour Tavern & asked for ice water. CM gave me...
    3:10pm on 5/15/12 by moorparknay15
    Small cup of ice & pointed to water fountain by restrooms for the water. Hmmm at WDW they give larger cup with ice & water; must be because FL tap water is horrible,
    3:11pm on 5/15/12 by moorparknay15
    @moor, only if you drink it. It's great for stripping varnish off of boats.

    It wasn't as bad when I was there a couple of months ago. Beverly at Club Cool didn't affect me either. Maybe my taste buds are getting old. ;-)
    3:25pm on 5/15/12 by moorparknay15
    I always try Beverly at Club Cool. I keep thinking it's an acquired taste. I still haven't acquired it.

    Gee the water there doesn't sound appealing to drink lol.

  • Heading out in 2 weeks! Wondering about F! Dessert seating: I have a little sticker shock, is it worth it? Are the seats that good? We only have 4 days in the parks and I am a planner to the max! You guys have been SO helpful so far!

    The seats are good IMHO but you are really paying for convenience. People camp out for spots hours before the show. I don't want to waste precious park time. They give you plenty of sweet treats and beverages and are very attentive.
    5:09am by LMCantwell
    We went last October & were fine w/o the pkg; got seats on pavement near the water for 2nd show about half hour before.

    The DisUnplugged has a DL show every other week...it's a different group than the ones that do the regular show...I like the show now as they cover a wide range of DL topics but it did take a while to get used to it...
    5:19am by VanceC
    It is in the DisUnplugged feed on iTunes, just look for the ones labeled Disneyland and download those

    Mousetalgia is a California based podcast that has DL content in some shows as well as Disney movies, museum, D23, etc.
    6:50am by TheKarenD
    Window To The Magic, host(s) basically stroll thru parks with open mike so it feels like you're there. Episode 311 has final performance :-( of Miner 49ers (bluegrass/country band in DCA). #317 is listener request, hear parts of Soundsational parade...
    7:45am by moorparknay15
    As they walk thru DL to end up with HM ridethru. Really makes you pay attention to the different music played thru parks, probably something you don't realize you're missing.

    Don't forget to try the caramel popcorn from popcorn carts in DCA by Soarin', Hyperion Theatre(Aladdin show) & Paradise Pier. Especially when it's freshly made. Yum!

    If you're talking about Mission tortilla factory, it's closed. Ghirardelli's replacing it early June. But there's free sourdough bread at Boudin's in Pacific Wharf.

    In the area we were, people were already staking their spots early. The other areas started filling in around nine pm. After roping off area near water, CMs checked wristbands(even restrooms) when DL closed until they made sure all nonAPers were gone.
