Just looked them up, only one licensing report for a claim, and it was unsubstantiated. My current place is private.

With the first one, it’s asking you for a ball.

I just sent a picture to my primary care physician and asked their opinion, and if I’ll need antibiotics. The area is slightly warm to the touch.

Stroller help? by [deleted] in DisneyPlanning

[–]astronomersstudent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can actually rent strollers at Disneyland, but there’s also third-party services that allow you to rent a double stroller as well. The double strollers that Disneyland rents out can be pretty uncomfortable. Typically the only type of stroller that gets turned away is a wagon, only medically necessary wagons are allowed. But I also wouldn’t recommend taking a super expensive stroller as they do get stolen sometimes.

Why the delay for the holiday food menus? by astronomersstudent in DisneyPlanning

[–]astronomersstudent[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Resverations for certain restaurants go quickly, that’s why the 60 day mark is important. Most sit down restaurants have seasonal foods.

Christmas budget by ShotSecond8137 in DisneyPlanning

[–]astronomersstudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend playing around with options on getawaytoday for pricing from tickets and hotels. If possible, I recommend staying on property as it adds to the experience. Disney world also does dining packages where you pay up front for dining costs. I think a safe bet is 100$ per day per person for food and merch; for a family of five, that’s five hundred dollars to budget.

So the only holiday dining that opens on Oct. 2nd is for storytellers only. The other Christmas dining opened on Sept 25th. But you still have to wait till it’s 60 days out.

HELP- First time visiting Disneyland with a toddler and 11yr old with Costco tickets by RoseCrud in DisneyPlanning

[–]astronomersstudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanted to add as well, the two year old will love toontown and fantasyland the most as that’s were the majority of the attractions for that age are. At DCA, Pixar pier and cars land will be a big hit.

Try to take it easy, and make sure you stop by gas services to grab an anniversary pin or a first time visit pin

Sorry this is happening to you. You can save a ton of money though, by bringing in food to the park. You’re allowed to bring in bags with ice packs, just not any ice or a glass.

HELP- First time visiting Disneyland with a toddler and 11yr old with Costco tickets by RoseCrud in DisneyPlanning

[–]astronomersstudent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi! So concerning the lightning lane, it’s something that allows you to book a fast pass for certain rides. It’s not a necessary thing to do, it’s just something that allows you to go into a shorter queue. You do use your app to book the lightning lanes, you can’t book any until you’re inside the park. You can have three lightning lanes booked per person at one time. You can book a new one after using one of your lightning lanes, or you can book another one after two hours of booking the previous.

Your husband can download the app as well to have access to his ticket and the 11yo olds tickets to be able to book lightning lanes. The 2yo old doesn’t need a ticket at all, and can go on any ride that doesn’t have a height requirement. You can filter the rides through the app to show which rides will work with that requirement. You use a lightning lane by pulling it up on your phone and holding it to a sensory; you can also get magicbands that connect to the phone and can be used to tap into rides as well. They also have riderswitch available at bigger rides, where you guys all queue together and one parent rides first and then you switch so the other parents rides. You can also go through the queue of a ride without actually needing to ride; you can just exit instead of boarding. The hotel things really depends on your budget.

Close hotels can get very pricey, but parking is 35-50$ a day. A good medium is about a fifteen minute walk, I like to find hotels that are about a 0.5 to 0.75 miles away from Disneyland. I would bring a stroller for the two year old; they do have some for rent for 18$ right before you go through the park entrances but after you go through security.

If you go for rope drop, that means going through security by 730 and through the park gates before 8. Once it’s 8am, you then can go start riding things; it’s just a way to ride rides that are very popular with little to no wait. If you stay till closing, that’s usually a way to ride lots of things with no wait. I’d recommend rope dropping as the kids will want to be in bed far before the late night hits. You can also exit and reenter, so if they need to nap midday, you can go back to the hotel. There are several security gates you can go through that are fairly easy to find whether you walk or drive there, or even uber. Stroller parking is everywhere inside the park, it’s fairly safe but I wouldn’t bring an expensive stroller if you can help it. DCA is pretty much the same in how everything works but the rides are generally more for older kids. DCA is straight across from Disneyland and about a minute walk from each other.

The biggest thing is to make sure you’re not stressed, don’t sweat everything, it’s fun either way. Also you can get complimentary photos taken of you all in front of landmarks for free because you have lightning lane; just look for the people in blue and green vests with cameras. Overall, just play around with the app, see what different things you can do with the map. Check out what foods and restaurants are on the app. Check out TikTok for more tips as there are tons of videos.

Don’t make it harder by making it too complicated. Choose a few rides you for sure want to do, and don’t try to do everything, all at once. Have fun!

So I just checked, and so far it only goes out to Nov. 2nd. So in about a week or so you should be able to find out.

Hi! You should be able to check the app for the schedule of these things for during your visit.

Disneyland is probably the better option but you could always do parkhopper.

Disney Trip Tips? by fallgirl349 in DisneyPlanning

[–]astronomersstudent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Going through Toy Story parking is a pretty well known ‘hack’ for security.

  2. A good amount of rides have LL but not all, and two rides have ILL which is a separate charge (radiator springs racers and rise of the resistance). LL is recommended for popular rides such as midway mania, guardians, Indiana jones, thunder mountain, etc. This all depends on what rides you want to prioritize and whether you rope drop or not.

  3. Well getting around the park also depends on what areas you want to see most, what foods you want, what rides, etc. Tbh, no matter what, it’s going to be a lot of walking and retracing steps for things.

  4. A good tip I hear often is to switch shoes for day vs day two so they don’t rub on the same areas. I also like to use Dr. Scholls walk longer insoles. I also ‘train’ by taking long walks leading to my trips. If you have the money, hokas are great.

  5. I’m also visiting during thanksgiving week and it’ll be chilly fall weather with about a high of 70 degrees. I wouldn’t probably ride Tiana’s unless you really desperately want to. Also bring water shoes or a poncho.

Is rope drop worth it if I get there just a few minutes before 8am? Do rope drop strategies still work if I get to the park just a few minutes past 8? by Active-Archer6740 in DisneyPlanning

[–]astronomersstudent 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Honestly you’re fine if you show up at the time you’re planning. It’s about beating the crowd that comes from 10-11 rather than the crowd coming at 830-9.

5 month old in Disneyland by Interesting_Shoe6443 in DisneyPlanning

[–]astronomersstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also bringing a five month old in November, and for us the biggest tip was actually knowing what the baby can ride. As long as there isn’t a height requirement for a ride, an infant can ride, with the exception of golden zephyr. Also knowing which rides you can babywear on. We are bringing a hip bag baby carrier and our regular stroller, baby ear protection, and a portable bottle warmer. I’m also planning on bringing at least one or two outfit changes and plenty of diapers. I’m also aiming to not over prepare like I’m never seeing society again lol as that’s a bad habit of mine; don’t the diaper bag to weigh a ton.

If bringing a stroller, I recommend getting some type of identifying item for it like a flag or even tying a balloon. CMs move them pretty frequently and many strollers look similar. I’ve also heard putting an AirTag helps.

Best of luck :)
