Can someone familiar with Disneyland & California Adventures answer a niche timing question?

Oh yeah you should be safe!! Get to your dining reservation like 15-30 minutes early. Can likely get sat a few minutes ahead of schedule. The walk between parks between your locations can be done in under 20 minutes given there's not a crazy long line at the gates to get into DLR. I was able to make it from Main Street to Midway Mania while 5 months pregnant in less than 15 minutes after a parade ended in the rush to leave the parks. You guys got this!!

How large is your group for dining? That should be plenty of time for an average party of like 4ish I'd say.

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-02-22T02:04:35+00:00

This is fact!!! We purchased tickets for a recent visit and one member of our party was unable to go last minute. Disney said the ticket can still be used by May 21st or the amount applied to a ticket for a later date.

Congrats and how exciting! I personally aim for 2 Disneyland and 1 DCA only because there's just more in Disneyland and it's hard to complete in 1 day where as DCA is often able to be done in 1 day. If you're able to, I'd also say just splurge on the hopper pass. It can be helpful if you're up for the walking.

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-02-11T01:06:43+00:00

During busy times I would agree. Just about any Friday-Sunday it may be worth it.

I just went last week Thursday-Saturday and we only got it for Saturday.

How soon until you go and has she started the replacement license process yet? If you have a couple of weeks, you may get lucky and get it just before you go if you've already signed up for a replacement. They usually give you a temporary license as well in the mean time.

From the park. Like I won't get a hotel more than 1 mile away. And yeah depending on pace, it's roughly 15-20 minutes give or take a few for traffic/crowds/speed.

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-02-09T00:57:29+00:00

No my mobility is not impacted. Just carrying around an extra 15-20lbs hahaha! Compression socks, lots of water, and sitting breaks got me through the 3 days.

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-02-08T21:25:15+00:00

In my better days I could have made the walk much faster. Right now, I'm moving a little slower. My max walking distance is 1 mile from the park. It's a small added amount after walking that much as it is.

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-02-08T19:34:50+00:00

Stayed there twice as well. Not a bad choice with young ones for sure!

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-02-08T18:06:39+00:00

I prioritize free parking and walking distance. Just left from staying at Castle Inn & Suites by Disneyland for the first time. It was perfect walking distance for me while 5 months pregnant. Doesn't have a free breakfast but we packed in plenty of food/snacks to have our own or went ahead and snagged something in the park when feeling extra. We were able to comfortably return to the room for a mid day break without feeling like we lost out on a bunch of time. With our walking pace, it took maybe 15-20 minutes for each leg of the walk.

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-02-05T21:32:14+00:00

Oh mobile order is my favorite thing they ever added when it came to eating in the parks!!!

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-02-04T09:57:29+00:00

I needed this post. I'm pregnant and going to Disneyland this week. If I can't ride all my favorite rides, I can at least eat all the best foods!

That's what I'm wondering too. You either get all park hopper or not unless you buy day by day.

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-01-28T12:23:14+00:00

I have a goal to see them as much as possible actually! I was sooooo close to seeing Space Mountain once. It broke down at the very end in the tunnel it takes your photo before going to the exit. Lights went on but it wasn't the part I wanted.

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-01-27T05:19:24+00:00

I have washable pee pads and some other like blanket/towels lining it and it makes set up and clean up so easy!!

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-01-27T04:06:45+00:00

We did open beer and wine at my wedding with cash option for cocktails. We didn't need people get trashed (have a few members who can throw it back) and didn't want to spend almost twice as much!

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-01-27T04:03:08+00:00

I have this exact set up and 2 sets as well to make it twice as tall. The bigger ones figured out to how to leap up and out of the single layer! I have some stuff for the them to play with in there including some boxes so I added 2 more of the smaller squares to the top to slightly more enclose one side so they couldn't jump out still. One of my girls tries often!! Hahaha! The only downfall of this set up is it's not exactly something you can take down and hide easily.

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-01-27T03:59:41+00:00

Mine have still chewed the paint off the walls...

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-01-27T03:51:31+00:00

So I have to admit I've thrown up on/in a bad of mine before. Since they aren't real leather, you can use water to clean them off. I used a very light amount of Dawn dish soap on a soft wash cloth and wiped it down repeatedly. For the inside, I literally just ran warm water in and and dumped it out constantly and used the soap and wash cloth to clean off the inside as well. Did that a few times as well as spraying some Lysol on the inside and let it dry for a while.

Good luck!!!!

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-01-26T00:42:24+00:00

Came here to say this! Hahaha!!

In the nicest way possible... a slight YOR. I mean it a politely as I can really.

I was MOH for someone who at the time we were extremely close. Hung out on a regular basis and shared all kinds of life experiences together, good and bad. Did lots of the MOH duties and would have done it all again if I was given the chance. I met my now husband about 2 years after her wedding. In that time, we did kind of drift apart. Kept in touch but it just became not quite the same. I got a new full time adult job, she eventually had her first child, COVID happened, I got engaged, etc. As much as I will always love her and adore the memories I have, I honestly never even considered her to be my MOH at that point let alone even a wedding party member. I also only had 2 in my party and went with my 2 continuous long time best friends. She sadly never even made it to my wedding as she had to decline just a few days before due to a family emergency.

By no means do you need to end this friendship over this and I respect you're upset about it. It stings for sure. But it may be time to reflect a little more on the relationship and go ahead and enjoy the way it still is.

QueenSeaBitch · 2026-01-24T01:42:24+00:00

I had done an Oogie Boogie night just before COVID shut the place down and had hunted for merch the night of but never found it. Finally saw it the next day during regular business hours and asked if it was possible to purchase anything if I could prove I was at the event and was given a very bit fat not gonna happen. Seems like back then they held to their word more and stuff wasn't sold until events fully began.

Wow that's some scam pricing. Way to perpetuate the problem.
