We've stayed there before & thought it was good! The location is nice & the rooms are clean! It doesn't beat GCH or the DL Hotel, but we wouldn't mind staying there again! - GrimGrinningAmanda  323.8 #521 4:29PM

We stayed there for 2 nights and liked it. The pool area is great. They have a toddler pool. You can cut through the Grand to get to the parks faster. It was clean and we had good service. I haven't stayed at the other Disney Resort hotels yet. If you are planning on using the hotel/amenities a lot during your stay, I'd say it's worth it. If you just need a bed, maybe use a good neighbor hotel and save the $$$ for souvenirs, etc. - goofymom2boys  498.1 #243 4:45PM

We are DVC owners and we stay at PP a lot. We get more days for the points there. It is a bit of a walk, but it's worth it to stay longer. We use the Grands shortcut. Just booked a 7 day trip during the Christmas holiday. - Sandy  245.3 #1076 12:00AM

It's nice. We stayed there to celebrate my Mimi's 3rd birthday four years ago. It's a little bit of a walk if you have a stroller and diaper bag (his sister was 1 at the time) but the dining and character breakfast options helped. - BombFrog-formerCM  51.7 #3778 6:27AM

Excellent choice! Now if they would put Stone on tap in the parks I might never leave. - NascarDave  223.6 #1339 6:17PM

My kids loved that last year. Hopefully, they rotate some of the characters, so we can see some new ones. Thx for posting :) - goofymom2boys  498.1 #243 2:13PM

Very fun to see the characters and kids dancing. Glad it returned - dcatowerofterrorguy2011  725.5 #140 1:52AM

Oh sweet! I just loved this so much last year. Thanks for the update! - tballzz  393.5 #349 7:22AM

Im sorry you had a horrible experience and that disney was able to offer a special surprise and you should complain to city hall or even the cms on the ride sometimes in rides like autopia the trouble makers can be warned and be excorted off the disney property if they continue to misbehave. as far as I know grads are suppose to behave just like any other guest but even more as (not sure I heard this) if a school has to many complaints from their students they may not be offered to come back for future grad night - pikarich  677.6 #159 11:36AM

Sorry to hear about your experience. Glad Disney did something for you. - radarwatcher1  22.7 #4927 11:36AM

Good for you going to City Hall. I've found that if something isn't right and a CM is alerted, they always find a way to accommodate. On Sat we were in line for pirates and we were in front of a group of teens. I had my 2 and 5 year old with me and their language was among the foulest I have ever heard. I informed the CM loading the boats and asked to be seated away from them. She easily placed us in a separate boat and we were able to enjoy the ride. I know I can't escape bad language but it was just extreme. - tballzz  393.5 #349 12:13PM

Disney does such a good job of trying to keep everyone happy! - debbiev  78.8 #3341 12:58PM

So worth it! We went down last year and were going to upgrade our tix to AP's right away and the CM insisted we still use our magic morning before we upgraded. We've done magic mornings a million times before but were so glad we waited and used it. You pretty much walk onto space mountain the whole time. - PixieDustAway  153.6 #2283 8:38PM

We don't stay at the hotels so we don't get DCA's magic morning hit when we have the hoppers for DL, we love it. I guess depending on the time of year it can be more crowded than most but we always enjoy it. We can always get a lot of stuff in that hour! And then go on what's not open when the park opens fairly quickly too... I would say just avoid Carsland when they have it because RSR will have a long wait if they are open an hour before you can enter. - brodysmommy  246.3 #1062 8:46PM

A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away was a theme park called Disneyland. In the 1990s Disneyland had a major drop in regualr attendance to Disneyland and only offered one type of pass, a premium pass that was 150 then raised to 200 for only ONE park. Because of the declining attendance and lack of Annual Passholders flocking to the parks, mind you these were the days where the was no Rancho Santa Margarita, Irvine was still pretty much fields, no irvine spectrum, everything north of the 15, 91 was cows and no homes, you get what I'm saying they started to do promos and new pass levels to incite people to get to the parks more and even did such things as nighttime shopping passes during Christmas, then the famous 2fer tickets. Well Disney really thought that opening a second park would really boost attendance and be a big smash hit and we all know how that went for 10 years. They did everything they could to get people to come to the parks and created 99 dollar passes, get in free on your bday, give a day get a day, they had promos all year around esp for the locals to just get people in the door for a mediocre experience. From the time frame of 2000 to 2011 Disneyland opened two new attractions buzzlight year and Nemo which pretty much was a refurb of an old attraction. They actually had closed down restaurants in the parks, there were no major of any of the lands, two new parades no new stage shows, reduction in characters in the park and a new firework show for the 50th that they still use. Then you have DCA over that time frame..What happened over there, nothing at all for the most part, it was the same park that lacked in every possible category and the only entertainment they had was the Aladdin show and some street performers and the only thing that could draw locals was brining back ELP but as soon as that was over they left. .These were the final years for Eisner...Since 2010 here is what we have been given...Carsland, 3 attractions, two shows 5 characters. Buena Vista Street featuring two shows, street characters and the fab 5 and a 4 star dining experience, World of color, The Little Mermaid attraction, 3 atmosphere shows, daily live music at the paradise gardens, a refrub off all the entire area, Redwood creek also got a nice redo and updated to get rid of that Brother Bear movie that nobody has seen and replaced it with a Pixar hit of UP with a stage show....Then lets go over to Disneyland....Since 2010 we have a brand new Star Tours experience, new summer time firework show, Princess Fantasy fair, 6 daily character shows, a new parade that is actually very good, a brand new wonderful stage show Mickeys map, diferent celebrations each month for such things as Greek, Valentines, etc etc (BTW those wont be limited time magic next year they will be part of new traditions). Now that DCA is finally where they want it your going to start hearing about more new things unveiled this summer for Disneyland like the new Tomorowland and other things as well....Pretty much everyone was conditioned to pay a lower price for sub-par product and now you are getting 300% more band for your buck with all of the new things the parks have to offer Well now the parks are at a place where the demand to get in is at an all time high and its both parks. Not only are you locals wanting to come at record numbers but people are traveling from all over the world again to visit the parks because there is something here again that makes people want to visit. For fun and games, go look on the AP website and take the number of visits you have made in a year and divide it by the total price of your Annual pass, its pretty low for a lot of us who go a lot. For instance if I go 100 times a year its about 6.79 dollars a visit., not bad!! I know its not easy for a lot of us continue to get passes as it keeps increasing but you have to take a look at some of what I said. The demand out weighs the supply and increasing prices is the only way to cut back attendance and make your visits more enjoyable while at the same time they can keep coming up with new exciting shows and attractions that keep us coming back year after year and not leaving us with a stale product. I guess we should all be grateful that we live in Southern California and are surrounded by so many other things to do such as enjoy the beaches, the parks we have, the mountains, Knots, Magic Mountain, Sea World, the zoo the banana stand,...Ok I have writer cramp - Dave  8823.5 #2 10:54AM

I heard if you yell at the ticket booth "Andy's coming," the prices drop. - Waites4DodgerEars  689.0 #153 3:52PM

Premium AP holder, and shareholder. The latter takes some of the sting out of it. I would encourage every Disney fan to own a piece of the company - MelodyMouse  943.0 #95 12:27PM

Well it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who thinks the payment plan should be discontinued. Like others have said Disneyland is a luxury, not a right. Plain and simple: you can either afford it or you can't. It shouldn't be up to Disney to bend over backwards to make things cheaper just because you live nearby and have a big family and want visit every couple of weeks. If you can't afford the upfront cost of a pass, do what everyone else does...visit once a year. And make a nice big trip of it. - NotNKansasAnymor  184.4 #1847 2:01PM

When I go the parks it's my escape -even if its just for a few hours- it my ME time. When I'm there I don't worry about anything at all. I can do what I want eat what I want scream on rides play fun games laugh with friends (or by myself) cry during shows or just sit and watch people and do nothing. If more people just relaxed and went to Disneyland the world would be a much happier place...that's what I tell people when they call me a Disney freak- you are not alone!!! 😘 - missariel33  133.7 #2581 12:31PM

I get so irritated when people do the same thing to me. I just don't understand why anyone feels the need to comment on my life. I mean, it's my money and I work for hard for it. Why would people care how I spend it and where I spend time with my family? We are a family of 4 who look forward to going to Disneyland once a month. And that's ...bad? A friend said to me recently "it just seems like it wouldn't be special to the kids anymore". We had a little discussion. First of all it is special to them everytime we go and they look forward to this family time. Second, why would anyone care if my kids were sick of Disneyland or not? They're my kids, it's our money, it's our weekend time and we take our kids to Disneyland once a month. HOW IS THAT BAD? Sorry for yelling, I just don't understand why people feel the need to comment on other people's lives. - tballzz  393.5 #349 1:08PM

We used to get that from various friends. Disneyland is our happy place, makes us feel young and carefree again, forget all the stresses and pressures of our day-to-day lives! One of my best friends that used to say things like that to us recently bought passes and now goes as often as us! The magic is contagious! - dalefishtank  149.6 #2345 11:51PM

My love of Disney started out young, but now since I work there, I spend a lot of time at the parks. Other than that, I am proud to call myself a Disney freak by having the music from most of the attractions on my phone at all time. Disneyland gives me the chance to leave my worries and stress behind and provides me a happy place where I can relax and enjoy the magic that it holds. - BaseballMickey_CM  2992.9 #15 11:55PM

This is a perfect example of people who've been here since the beginning, but don't have strong visibility in the Lounge. They've helped behind the scenes with MouseWait since day one, and they've stuck with us throughout the years supporting every app we've launched, every book, they stay at the Hojo because they know it helps MouseWait, and so much more . This is a reminder that just because you don't recognize a username or a face, it doesn't mean they haven't played a huge part in the success of MouseWait. This is one reason why I've never liked the "OG" label because there are so many people like April and Alex who aren't well-known in the Lounge, but they've been there for MouseWait prior to the launch, and have remained loyal ever since. - Admin 11:14AM

Just wanted to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone for their prayers and well wishes! Alex is doing ok, his pain levels seem to be on a roller coaster along with everything else that's going on. My mom flew in from TX yesterday and that has already been a huge blessing!! Our youngest son (we have 3; 13, 10 & 4) came down with something over the weekend and keeps running a very high fever and I had to take him to the ER (at the same hospital) on Monday nite and they ended up doing a spinal tap to test for meningitis, which turned out to be negative, thankfully!! He's doing ok, but we are alternating tylenol/advil every few hours round the clock cuz otherwise his fever returns as does the pain in his head/eyes/stomach, etc. We will also be following up with his pediatrician if it doesn't clear up in another day or so. It's been an UNREAL ride this past week, but I know for sure that we're being carried through this on the prayers of wonderful people like you and others across the country and world. Alex still needs at least 1-2 more surgeries on his foot, which they have not yet set or fixed as the swelling is still too high. We're also hoping to get him transferred to a hospital that's about 10 mins from our house, instead of where he is now that's over an hour away. After his foot surgery he has rehab to work with him and teach him how to get in and out of his wheelchair and move around, etc. We have a long road ahead and I'm sure we'll hit a lot more bumps, but we are just so thankful that he is HERE and survived, no brain damage, no spine or vital organs damage, so we have MUCH to be thankful for! We definitely appreciate your continued prayers for the duration!!! - BluRayn  34.6 #4259 2:01PM
