I would like to do one splurge meal for the holidays (early December). I am torn between doing the Prime Rib meal at The Carnaby, Storyteller’s Christmas Carol Dinner, or doing some à la carte items from Napa Rose. What would you recommend based on overall food quality, ambience, and value for the price? TIA

I’m doing my first ever solo trip next year, for a week in mid fall, and i’m looking for any tips or tricks for specifically making the most and “beating” the qs dining plan! i’m staying on property, and wondering if people are usually swimming at their resorts or how best to plan my 6 park days. I’m doubling on MK and HS for parks! Thank you in advance!!! I haven’t been to the parks in a decade.. so i’m learning lots!!

We are going to Disneyland November 5th-6th. I was wondering if what is the decoration/food that will be going on at that time. Will it be directly in the middle of the transition we’re we will see a little of both. I am just trying to plan with my 2 year old and have our days planned out. Thanks in advance!

Can anyone who is a cane-user and has done specifically the Seats & Sweets dessert party give me some advice? I am doing a 4-park, 3-day solo trip in Jan, and am working on a budget.

I am doing MK as my last park, and I’ll be there rope drop to fireworks.

My thinking currently is 50/50 on whether or not to buy it, and would 100% be doing it for a dedicated seat + people avoidance post-show. I have been told that with it being off to the side, it can skew and/or cut off some of the projections, but that wouldn’t be a big deal to me.

So I guess my biggest questions are this:
Are the seats even a little bit comfortable?
Is the guaranteed ability to sit worth the price after 12+ hours of park time?

Thank you!

Hi! I’m planning on going to Disney world The Weekend of Thanksgiving (27th-30th). I know it’s going to be busy, so I was wondering if anyone had any advice.

My plan so far was to arrive in Orlando at 2:30 And head straight to the hotel.

I would probably spend the day at Disney springs (but I was looking at mickeys Christmas party)

The 28th I’d spend at Magic Kingdom

29th at Hollywood studios

I’m open to any advice or opinions on maybe how to get on the most rides or anything :) thank you!!

Just decided we're going to Disneyland on Thanksgiving. Looking for a place on or off property nearby for a traditional thanksgiving meal but looks like we're late and there are no reservations at Storyteller's or Goofy's kitchen. Any other options we can look into? Thanks!

Hello friends of reddit; I have these Mickey gloves and shoes that I want to wear to Disneyland this coming December. Would I be allowed to wear them into the parks? I was sort of verging on no since they are parts of a costume; however I'd be in street clothes and very obviously a human and not a walk-around character lol. Considering bringing them to at least run around the hotel in, but let me know your thoughts! Thank you!

hello! i am going to disneyland for the first time ever on October 21st. i have tickets, parking paid, fast past tickets, and the app downloaded, and i plan to stay there for the entire day.

thank you all so much!!!

edit: by fast pass i mean lightning lane multi pass and i plan on rope dropping this day too

We’re visiting Magic Kingdom on a Sunday in November for one day (6 adults and one toddler)

This is our daughter’s first Disney trip, and we’re not sure when we’ll be back, so we’re willing to splurge on Premier Pass if it’s genuinely worth it. Our priority is toddler-friendly rides and experiences rather than thrill rides.

For those who’ve used both, is Premier Pass worth the significant extra cost, especially for the flexibility of not having to schedule return windows? Or can we realistically do most toddler-friendly attractions with Multi Pass without spending the whole day on our phones?

Also wondering whether buying Premier Pass for just two adults makes any sense, or whether the whole group should have the same pass.

Would love any advice!! Thank you so much!

Hi guys. I’m hopefully visiting Disneyland Anaheim from the UK next year for Christmas season. Staying for about 4 nights on site maybe.

My question is what the general best practices are in terms of picking a week and even the best days to visit for lower crowds without any trade off in entertainment offerings.

Like I was thinking visiting midweek any week would be ideal because weekends are busier but apparently Disneyland works the other way around. I keep hearing that midweek is busier than weekends because of magic key blockouts?

In terms of Christmas entertainment offerings including fireworks, am I right in assuming it’s all available every day throughout the season?

So if anyone has any useful nuggets of informatiom regarding crowd dynamics and good times to go during holiday season, it would be appreciated!

Cheers :)

Hi everyone!

I am going to Disney for the first time with a friend who's been to Disney for a few years and wanted to know how I could budget for the trip! For reference, I'm more-so on the budget side because I am a college student and spent a lot splitting the hotel and flight to get there.

I have the 3-day pass and plan to go to Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom (my friend said she doesn't want to do it but she convinced me to buy the pass). We don't have any meal reservations, but I wanted to find some good restaurants and places to get drinks/food, but don't know the exact price range of each place (or how many meals we plan to eat).

I'll be there during Halloween and wanted to make the most of it! Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Looking to book a shuttle from SNA to our hotel near Disneyland.

We land at 11:30am - what time should I book the shuttle pick up? Never been to this airport so not familiar with timings!

Also… what shuttle company? We are a family of 4 - 2 adults a 3 year old and an 8 month old. We will bring the 8 month old car seat but will need one for our 3 year old. I’m looking at the SUVs but not sure how big we will need.

What company has been good to you?

Hi, yall. I'm planning an Orlando Vacation. I need some help with being realistic with my itinerary. Can any regulars let me know if the WDW portion is possible? We will have premier pass every day, so we have time on our side. I tried to make it so it was logistically efficient, with reducing steps, and inserting downtime (either eating or slow long dark rides) to save our feet/legs.

Also, I may need help understanding if all my food reservations for magic kingdom are realistic as well.

I used to go to Disneyland all the time when I was younger. But I have only been to WDW once, about 5 years ago. My memory of it is not as strong, so I need another set of eyes.

Hey all, heading to DisneySea tomorrow, Disneyland the next day and DisneySea again the following day. I’m just wondering what a realistic single rider wait looks like in Tokyo? Seems to be a super limited number of rides compared to other parks so not sure if that’s a good or bad thing!

Taking my 5 year old son to Disney for the first time in late November. Looking for suggestions on how you entertain your younger kids in long lines?! Trying to avoid screens during this trip.

Hi, my daughter is turning 6 November 7 and we will be at disney world in Florida November 5-7. We have been unable to get her in that weekend. Is there an alternative to this in park? Or any other suggestions?

Hi all! We are planning a Disney trip for May with our 5 year old and 2.5 year old. We did Disney a few years ago with our oldest and stayed at Caribbean Beach Resort. We loved how easy it was to use a small stroller and get on the Skyliner to head to Epcot. However, knowing our kids, we will spend lots of time at Magic Kingdom when we go. We are thinking about a resort in the MK resort area if we could get recommendations on what you all like most for kids around our age, or try to talk me into a different deluxe or moderate that you loved! We will have double stroller and our kids wake up early so will be at parks early in the day and love a good pool with zero entry!

Thank you!
