r/DisneyPlanning

Just want to come here and let everyone know the tickets at Costco are sold out in the ENTIRE Bay Area. I can also confirm it’s sold out in Turlock, Modesto, Lodi, Manteca, Merced, Tracy.

I had the tickets and tried to check out at the Modesto location and they took them from me and multiple people behind me saying they were out of stock. I then went to guest services and had them check other locations. They told me they couldn’t find anywhere that had them. And they won’t be getting any more. ☹️

Me and my husband went to Disneyland back in Feburary of this year. We loved it, but we only had two days, and we were both too tired by the afternoon (~3pm) to go on. There was so much we didn't see, but we still saw a lot and had a great time!

I have decided to start planning our next trip there. I want to go all out. I'm planning five full days at the park, but a total of seven days on the trip (first and last day in California are purely traveling and rest). I plan for us to stay at the Grand Californian Hotel for the best access to the park.

Basically, we are looking to blow a load of money and are wondering if five days is enough to see everything & pace ourselves while doing so.

The 2-day Disneyland ticket deal has finally arrived in the Bay! My friend just copped us some @ the Newark location! Go go go

One of the main reasons I'm going is to watch the spooky parades, fireworks, etc... since I missed all of this last year because we had to leave early. My question, will all this be canceled? I know fireworks get canceled but what about the parades?

Hi - Planning a 3 day trip to Disneyland with 5 year and 1 year old kids. We need to take an afternoon break every day.
Fairfield shows 7 mins walk and relatively cheaper compared to Disneyland hotel. $1000 vs $2300

We can always do character breakfast staying outside too I believe. Any other cons of staying outside other than Disney vibe missing.

We’ve stayed at Pop Century and loved it and tried All-Star Sports this last time and it was just too quiet. The resort was nice and the amenities are obviously almost the same but do the other All-Star resorts feel more Disney-like?
For example, Pop Century almost always has music playing and I’m not sure I heard music playing once at Sports in a whole week? Which do you prefer based on only the atmosphere? Thanks!

Hey all! I'm in the early stages of planning a trip and need help narrowing things down. I've only ever been to WDW and it's been a while at that. I'm looking at either Disneyland or WDW during February for a family of five. We homeschool and are planning to take an early spring break to beat the crowds, so we're pretty flexible on timing.

Weather wise, which do you recommend this time of year? Would a weekday trip in February miss some of the crowds (avoiding President's Day). I'm looking to spend 3 days in the park. Maybe two if we do Disneyland. Kids are 11-7. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hello I am looking to take my almost 5 year old to the Disneyworld for October next year . Anyway what are the height requirements for most of the rides. Thank you

Hi - going to Disneyland the first week of December. Does anyone have any insight as to why the Plaza Inn doesn’t offer parade packages that week like they did for Paint the Night (and are offering for other nights in December). Will there still be parades on those days?

Thanks in advance!

If my family and I are planning to go to Dinseyland on October 31, but didn’t get the Oogie Boogie Bash tickets or Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, will we be kicked out of the parks at 6 PM?

Which is better in terms of crowds at WDW? We are planning on a trip Jan 18-21, with that Monday being MLK Day. I didn’t realize when I booked it. But we could reschedule to the Mon-Wed before, but that’s the week following a marathon event. Which would you guys say is better in terms of crowds?

If I stick with MLK week, should I be worried about LL availability on Monday?

Thanks, all!

I’m planning to get the explore keys for my family since we take about 1 trip to Disney per quarter, usually on weekdays but this month, we’re planning to go on a weekend at the end of October. I’d like to just buy the 3 day park hoppers and upgrade at the end of the trip. I haven’t found anything reliable about what Disney’s plans are with the magic key schedule, but it seems like it’ll still be available a few weekends from now?

We want to visit on a Friday in November. I think the 6th would be too early- lack of Christmas events, and the 27th is Thanksgiving time and might be packed. So between the 13th and the 20th which will be less busy?

Need help planning a Disney trip for potentially 22 people. Is mostly adults, 1x toddler, 2x under 10 yrs, 5x teenagers, and the rest adults. Planning for next year 2027, the day after Thanksgiving.

One place I know for sure I want to take the 2 under 10yrs to experience the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. And it will be one of their birthdays (9th). Not sure what to do for the teenagers or grown ups. One thing for sure, we’re all foodies. So any restaurant recommendations would be great!

I think I have a good place for it stay, The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando. It’s only a few miles away from Magic kingdom. And from what I can tell a shuttle takes you back and forth to the parks.

Any suggestions, on park packages, restaurants, things to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven’t been since elementary and that’s been (a few) decades since then, lol. I have know idea about anything Disney besides wanting to take my daughter to the Bibbidi boutique…

Should I get a Disney travel planner?

Going to Disneyland next year, early March and deciding which days of the week would be best. Monday and Tuesday or Tuesday and Wednesday? I know it can be unpredictable of how big the crowds will be, but based on y’all’s past experiences which days would be best?

Just found out we are pregnant with baby #3 and due in early June. We normally go to Disney over the summer (world and land alternating) and my oldest daughter looks forward to our trip every year. Obviously next year’s trip will be different!

Wondering if anyone has any opinions of visiting Disneyland in Anaheim while 7 months pregnant (going over spring break) vs with a 2 month old (going in August) or should we just skip this year? Maybe visiting over Christmas?

Thanks for your help!

So I received an email with the PIN discount for $149 1 day park hopper tickets. The problem is that I can't go before the end of the year. I was wondering if someone knew if you bought the tickets and made a reservation for sometime this year could you change it for an upgrade to next year without it costing as much as tickets for next year are? Can you upgrade the tickets so they can be used in 2027?

I have 2 tickets that I bought for June 2026 but didn't go and so I unlinked the reservation. If I pick a day in 2027 and change it to 2 day park hoppers it only increases the price by $542 (which is significantly less than buying 2 new 2 day park hoppers).
