We are staying at Dland hotel, so Grand CA isn't too bad... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2199320 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 16:10:50 +0000 HabesBabe 2199320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Def go to Plaza Inn in DL off Main St-- they have THE BEST fried chicken EVER. And the corn dog cart is good, too. Also hit up Bengal Barbeque and the Dole stand by the tiki room for a Dole whip (sometimes the line inside the Tiki Room area is shorter, you can just go in, get your Dole whip, and then go back out). The cones at Cozy Cone Motel in DCA are cute. But best bang for your buck would be Whitewater Snacks at the Grand Californian... it's just a bit out of the way.</p> <p>If you like BBQ, you might enjoy Big Thunder Ranch BBQ-- it's AYCE lunch and dinner, but lines are long.</p> <p>Aladdin is a great show, but it's a bit long (like 40 mins?), but it's in an air conditioned theatre and it's a nice break from the heat... I would recommend Mickey and the Magical Map as the other show to see, and it's in DL, so you have one show in each park.</p> <p>The Royal Welcome is the official name for the A&amp;E meet and greet.</p> <p>Paint the Night is the new nighttime parade in DL for the 60th-- I heard it's really fun, but it is late, and people have been lining up SUPER early for it since it's new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2199255 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 15:17:13 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2199255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: We have reservations for Goofy's Kitchen on Fri night, rest will be walk in.</p> <p>We are DEF doing Disney Jr. Live, then I'm debating on another show. I've heard great things about so many of them. </p> <p>Is there a separate meet and greet with Anna and Elsa besides the Royal Welcome? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2199004 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 12:22:54 +0000 808love 2199004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think BBB is primarily a hair salon but so much more. More for girls though. The cheap package is $60. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2198875 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 10:58:48 +0000 HabesBabe 2198875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have any reservations for meals, or are you doing walk-in or quick service only? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2198873 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 10:56:44 +0000 HabesBabe 2198873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a little girls' makeover shop... you have to make an appointment (especially on weekends) and they do your girl's make up, hair, and you can buy a princess dress. I think it costs $100-$300 overall.</p> <p>I would also take advantage of the baby centers-- there's one in each park. There are mini potties, a bunch of changing tables, a nursing/pumping area for moms, high chairs with microwaves, and you can buy formula if you need to.</p> <p>There are three Frozen themed things going on for kids: there's the meet and greet with Anna and Elsa (FastPass in front of the Animation Studio in DCA), the Sing Along show (the Hyperion Theatre, I believe), and Olaf's snow fest. You can go to the snow (and wait in line) without seeing Olaf. If you want to see Olaf, you have to get a pager once you're inside the snow play area. </p> <p>To get FastPasses, you need EVERYONE'S ticket-- so have one person run ahead and pick up the passes. I would also recommend seeing the Disney Jr live on stage show if your kids watch Doc, Jake, Mickey, or Sofia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2198781 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 10:05:46 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2198781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: Thanks! I think we're skipping World of Color. I don't see him staying up that late. And I don't think we need any ride passes, so I think Frozen will be it.</p> <p>@808love: Great suggestion, thanks! Is the Bippity Boppity Boutique more than a store? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2198406 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 04:27:44 +0000 808love 2198406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have fun! DD loved Bippity Boppity Boutique. Also I like to create a customized ordered plan on Touring Plans site before going to Disney. I'm planning my third trip with it! And for cheap non-character breakfast go to Steakhouse 55 or Flos Diner, sit in back and watch the Cars ride open up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2197654 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 09:31:28 +0000 brownie 2197654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: for the most part. Frozen is in the Hollywood section of cal adventure and the passes were near the entrance. Olaf is by monsters inc. the fast passes for world of color where between fantasy land and big thunder mountain which is no where near where it happens. You can only have one ride fast pass at. Time. I'm not sure what the restrictions are on activity (world of color, frozen etc) passes are if they have any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2197573 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 08:58:16 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2197573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: he's 34 on the dot...</p> <p>So we get frozen fast pass in CA Adventure? Do you have to go to each attraction to get it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2197255 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 20:32:51 +0000 brownie 2197255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So all if the events except for fireworks is by fast pass now. They have portable fast pass machines that look like food carts. I recommend getting your fast pass to frozen and then spending mornings in disneyland. Then about 11 when dland gets busy head over to cal adventure. </p> <p>How big is your little one? At 35 in they can do the gadget go coaster in toon town. Town town opens 1 hour after dland and if you go there when it opens you can hit that ride a few times. Then we typically visit mickey and Minnie Mouse after the coaster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2197210 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 19:54:10 +0000 Boogs 2197210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: You need to talk to @Mrs. Train: !

We went in at 8:45 (they opened 15 mins early)and stayed til 6. I think my only rec is going early to beat the crowds. We went on so many rides before 10 am. It got really packed around 12-1! My LOs really enjoyed Toon Town, Dumbo, the train, carousel, Winnie the Pooh, Small World. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disneyland-this-weekend-advice#post-2196240 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 10:01:20 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2196240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to Disneyland this weekend (fri, sat) and I was wondering if anyone has tips. This is our second trip with D and we live in SoCal, so we know the basics, but what I really don't fully understand is Fast Passes.</p> <p>I definitely want to take D to Frozen and that's a Fast Pass, right? What other ones should I get? (We don't care about doing any non-toddler friendly rides/events.)</p> <p>Any tips on what to do first, order of going through park? We have park hopper both days and Magic morning for Disneyland on Sat. </p>
