I am new! I haven't been to Disneyland in 19 yrs. I can't wait. We will be down there on Monday! It will be my 9 yr old son's first time. Our family will be wearing cool Star Wars/Disney mash up shirts. Lots of memories for me, can't wait to share them with my boy. Former NorCal now in Northern Nevada. - suzisk8

For all you san diegans. Just got home from the Disney store outlet. They have a Disneyland clearance section. All the ornaments are 5.99, even the 3 pack. The Donald and Duffy bear are 3.99. Oh yeah, vinylmations are 1.99!
Is this by the border? Bummer if so but great prices. - ShariRenee

Yes. Right next to the border. I can throw an ornament into Mexico from the parking lot. - Philliprocks 276.6 #763 8:02PM
I didn't get anything good, but my boyfriend was at the Mickey and Friends parking structure and got this. Because of the angle he was at he said he couldn't get any pictures with Disneyland in the background.
Awesome! Great pictures. - Mepenguin16

Wow! These are awesome! - disneykimmi

How was it getting into the structure? Because I had the same idea if I still had my AP with parking.
I think the parking structure was better than being inside the park . - WreckRalph

Well, what ended up happening was they had to close the structure. My boyfriend was forced to park in the Downtown Disney lot, and according to him, Disney did not use the Minnie level of the structure for parking. They kept it clear for those wanting to view the shuttle from the structure. - NotNKansasAnymor 174.5 #1934 3:54PM
Wow, the entire structure? I would have thought they would just close the top as some Youtube vid I saw shows people standing in parking spots with no cars. And let people park in the enclosed parts. - WreckRalph 3.3 #20447 3:59PM
They had the parking structure open, up until a certain point. They had so many people rush down to the park for the fly over that the structure couldn't accommodate all of them. - NotNKansasAnymor 174.5 #1934 4:06PM
Due to the mishap of Disney facing all the Media Press in the wrong direction, my boyfriend ended up being the only person from the OC Register (and one of the only media members) who managed to get a pic of the shuttle flying over Disneyland. The funny thing is, he wasn't assigned to the event, he just REALLY wanted to see the shuttle...and as luck would have it, he's the only one with a decent picture. Poor guy, he had to rush back to the office 'cause his bosses wanted his pictures so they would at least have something to show from the event. - NotNKansasAnymor

This video is hilarious! It's a parody of all the annoying guests at Disneyland. Brings up all the pet peeves for all of us that go to the park a lot! I've experienced a lot of these things and really wonder how people think this stuff is ok haha. Watch this if you need a good laugh! http://tinyurl.com/73mxvwb

Best part and oh so true - KylaShea 533.2 #214 12:24PM
The firework thing.....happens all the time! The worst I ever saw was this lady standing next to me tapped the woman on the shoulder to get her attention and said "You can't stand there...we've all been waiting here four hours or more" and the woman and her husband threatened the lady with assault for tapping her shoulder! They were escorted out in the end but not before the husband rudely shot back "God bless you lady, I hope you die in a car crash on the way home!"
What is wrong with some people?! The sad part was they tried lying to the CM by saying they had been there all along. The entire crowd backed up the lady (who later mentioned she was a MWer :) )
I just can't believe some people... - Aquata

Some people reach that braking point of anger and just go off! People need to learn how to control their anger! At least they were asked to leave haha - JoeDownTheRabbitHole 395.9 #337 8:08AM
Hahahahaha the fireworks one is so true!! - Penguinn_CM

Just got off the phone with my grandma, her and her sisters started making the tamales for Christmas! Any holiday cooking going on out there? If so: What is it? Can I have some?
My FMIL will be making piergois, ogourke, Platski, Gołąbki and a lot of other delicious food. Unfortunately not many people know what most of those dishes are..lol - MissMinnie
13.9 #5847 11:36PM
I know what all those are! So does Robynlaurel (the other co-founder of MW pierogi pack). We're only making pierogi this year but I also got a hold of a kiska blood sausage. Yum! - Polkadobo 372.1 #372 12:26AM
What is the kindest act you have ever done at Disneyland? help someone,return a wallet etc.
My brother and I gave up our world of color fastpasses to a couple from the UK. It was their last day at the Parks and they have been wanting to see it. - SorcererD91

My guy won a huge stuffed animal on the pier. We ran into a family whose kids where sad because of car trouble they made it to dl late in the day. The kids wanted to play games on the pier but the parents said we don't have time today. So we turned around and gave them the stuffed animal and our world of color passes. The kids where so happy! - Princess Daisy

Disney Family Fun has a Mexican Hot Chocolate recipe. Does anyone know if Disney sells Mexican hot chocolate. I swore I saw it on a menu somewhere. In Walt Disney World a restaurant sells it as Chocolate con Churros.

Okay, where to buy the best tamales: My pick is The Gourmet Tamale Factory in San Fernando.
The Food 4 Less parking lot or the old lady that wakes me up every Sunday as she pushes her tamale and champurrado filled shopping cart!!! - MozPrincess

Yes!!!!! Or just wait for someone to knock on your door and take you to their trunk where they will not only have tamales but champurrado tambien! xD - SkellyMouse 501.3 #239 11:37PM
Lol the lady on first street and Rowan in east LA has a line in front of her shopping cart in the mornings. She does make them yummy! - MarshaMouse 2871.2 #15 11:45PM
