We\'ve loaded several HD in-Park videos thanks to CantWait - just press on the Youtube icon on the submit wait time pages in the app. It\'s taken us forever--and a lot of troubleshooting--to figure out a way to get these videos to play properly in the app. You\'ll also be able to take an HD Grand Circle Tour of Disneyland on the Disneyland Railroad page, ride Radiator Springs Racers, watch Main Street Cinema clips, climb Tarzan\'s Treehouse, and a lot more (not all attractions have been added yet). CantWait is the one who recorded so many of the great Park ambiance audio clips in MouseWait Radio, and he\'s put a lot of time into this video project.

Good Morning MW friends! If you will, let me reintroduce myself. You will see that my name has changed. Nearly three months ago I was looking for an app. to help plan my family's second trip to the DLR. We have three children, two have autism; logistics and planning are essential! I was thrilled to find MW. Believe it or not, I didn't troll or lurk, but jumped right in. Unfortunately, in choosing a name that was meaningful to our whole family and one that we had adopted long before MW; I created an account name very similar to a well respected and established MW community member. This has caused resentment, hurt feelings and honestly, some unkind comments and posts. This has been a great disappointment. I offer my apologies and hope to be received into this otherwise, helpful, informative and kind community.
Pluto kinda photobombed this one. haha.
From Snow White. This has been a tough shot for me. She doesn't stay lit up for long and you barely get to see her. Still trying for better but this is a start.

Good morning! I'm finally here early morning. I missed the rope drop. Next time.

Events

please join me as we spend the morning watching where our favorite Monsters learned the basics. All MWers are invited to attend. Escondido Edwards/Regal theater. Meet outside by 9am. I will have movie RAKs for the minis. Hope to see you there.
Please join me in watching MU at Edwards in Riverpark! The time is tentative since the movie times haven't been released yet. I will update the time closer to the event. We will do one of first showings so we can get some pizza at Me N Eds Coney Island. The more the merrier!!!
Meet up at Johns Incredible Pizza in Roseville. Time for a NorCal meet up!! Come and have fun with friends and make new ones!! Feel free to bring your kiddos!!
Ever seen a firefly or a shooting star? Well, come with me and we'll hop on a bateau and cruise through the Caribbean. Whether this is your very first meet up or your 1,955th, we are sure to have fun!
Hi everybody! It is time for another Livermore movie meetup. David09 & I would like to invite everybody to join us in Livermore on Saturday, July 20th for a picnic in the park followed by a viewing of The Lone Ranger at our local Livermore Cinema. We would first meet up for our picnic at 2:00 p.m. We thought perhaps we can treat this picnic like a sort of potluck, where everybody brings one of their favorite dishes to share. Or if you want we could turn it into a themed picnic. After a delicious meal, some hanging out and catching up, plus some surprises to be revealed at a later date we would make our way over to the theater to watch the Lone Ranger. The show times have not yet been posted so the timing of this is yet to be determined. If you are interested in joining us for an afternoon of fun please RSVP below, so that we can determine if reservations need to be made for the park. As we get a little bit closer to the meet up more details will be posted

#News- Starting tomorrow, June 14, the Matterhorn Climbers will return to Disneyland Park! This tradition dates back to 1959 as the climbers will scale the famous mountain that is unique to Disneyland. Their climbing times are 10am, 11am, 1:30pm and 3pm. Make sure you stop to see them as they are only here through August 18!.
#News Swing Dancing will return to DL on Saturday, June 15, 2013 at The Royal Theatre. It will now be called The Royal Swing Big Band Ball. The first set will begin at 7:30pm. There will be four sets: 7:30-8:00, 8:30-9:05, 9:45-10:10 & 10:35-11:00. The Wiseguys will be the band playing that night. Since it is the first night back, a lot of us will be dressing up! So, get out your Dapper Day wear and come and dance! Here are a few tips for the new area...There is limited space to view the dancing in the new area. You will see green tape along the outside of the dance floor, that is where you can stand and watch. The back wall along the walk way that leads to Frontierland is still available to sit at. There is one row of benches on the outside of the dance floor, so if you want to sit there, get there early. There is also one row on the inside of the dance floor. Most of the dancers sit there. Please don't stand on the dance floor to watch the dancing. One, they will ask you to stand outside and two, it takes up space for the dancers. They announced that swing dancing will be every Sat in the summer and then depending upon how it goes, they will decide from there if it will continue each Sat. So, lets make this first night back an awesome night!!! Come out and support the dancers and give it a try if you have never danced before!! 💃💃💃 #swingdancing #royalswingball

Yum!! I went into Clarabelle's tonight and wasn't sure what I wanted. The CM's all recommended a Hand Dipped Ice Cream Bar. The CM that was helping me at the time said to get the "Mixed Berry Sorbet, with dark chocolate and chocolate chips". She said it so fast I didn't understand her at first, but I told her I would try it. She was so shocked I took her advise but was so excited. I'm glad I did, it was delicious! The berry sorbet and the chocolate shell complimented each other perfectly. For future I would probably not get the chocolate chips, they got in the way lol.
Thank you everyone for the happy wishes! Here is a tour of our dinner at Napa Rose: Sizzling Hot Rock for 2 (top left), bread basket (top right), split portion if the Braised Short Rib (bottom left) and Warm Butterscotch Bread Pudding and Caramel Praline ice cream (bottom right). Not pictured is the gluten free flatbread which will knock your socks off! Everything was so delicious and service was top notch!
From the Cozy Cone Motel: Filmore’s Fuelin’ Groovy Ade’s! Left: All Natural Lemonade with Wildberry Foam, Right: Pomegranate Limeade with Lemon-Lime Foam. Both with vodka 😁. Total was $16.20 after tax, no AP discount. Bout VERY yummy 👍👍
Turkey sandwich kids meal comes w/fruit and veggies from Flo's V-8 cafe. $6.99 before tax and annual pass discount. Drink included. Perfect for the lighter eater. Turkey is tasty and comes dry on your fresh roll. :)
Apple Boysenberry freeze and Garlic Cheddar twist from Maurice's. I love the flavor combination of the freeze, definitely let it melt a little and drink without a straw so the juice mixes together. The twists are the perfect texture, but I prefer a more garlicky taste, it was too subtle for me.
