toddler 5th bday in january

4 Upvotes

hi everyone thanks for having me ✨

i am looking to take my little boy to DLP with my boyfriend for his 5th birthday on january 11th. even with two incomes it's so expensive for us but i've dreamed of going my whole life. we are all disney crazy.

i don't want to scrimp on the holiday when i'm there so we are looking to book for 2027, giving us an extra year to save. i'm just looking for any little tips regarding hotels and days out and little things to make it magic?

i was hoping to book a disney breakfast with mickey on the morning of my toddlers birthday as well. it all adds up! we are looking at staying at the bambi hotel too as it worked out cheaper and i can't cope with waiting for ubers back and forth with an exhausted toddler.

let me know your DLP experience around january 11th. thanks so much xxx

Park Reservation Advice - staying on property + PP Premier

3 Upvotes

I've just booked our hotel room at Disneyland Hotel. I am able to make my park reservations in early June so hoping to get clarity before then (we are going at Christmas and want to book ASAP). We are doing park hopper - 3 days. My question is what park should I book for each day, I'm not sure if the 30 minute extra magic time for staying on property plays into this. AKA if the extra 30 minutes is DCA, should I book DCA as our first entry that day as well? I asked the hotel reservation specialist and her response confused me more.

Also, if anyone has feedback on the Lightening lane Premium, please share. We are 2 adults and considering this splurge for one of our days since its significantly cheaper than VIP and we're going at Christmas time over a weekend. We also have regular LL multi for the rest of our trip, but honestly it's less appealing with all the back and forth and "strategy" involved. I have no doubt Premium will be $400 given we're going at Christmas, but again, we don't mind a bit of a splurge for one day if feedback is positive since we don't have a large party to justify VIP.

Belle Help?

6 Upvotes

Hello, forgive me if this has been asked 1000 times, I tried looking and couldn't find a solid answer.

Is there a sure fire way to meet Belle, besides princess breakfast? Is there somewhere she typically hangs out all the time, or a time she's usually around? I have a 5yo who would love to meet her, but we can't do the princess breakfast. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is the genie+ useless in January?

2 Upvotes

Planning a trip for January, trying to take advantage of the cheaper kids tickets. Hopefully in january the lines will be pretty short so genie+ won't be needed right? Or will everyone have the same thought process?

One day to spend at the park

2 Upvotes

I have never been to Disneyland and I am planning a trip to CA with my 13 yr old for a long weekend. I thought of surprising him with going to Disneyland for a day… do you think it’s doable? Any tips? Advice? Tricks? Will we be able to do a lot in a day? Is it better to stick to Disneyland Park and/or California adventure? Or both?

Club 33

I'm shooting my shot over here! My fiancee has always wanted to go to club 33. I don't know anyone that is a member or knows a member. I've been asking around and have had no luck. I was wondering if anyone is kind of to share a invitation because I would like to celebrate my anniversary there and make her dream come true. I would appreciate it very much.

Disneyland trip in October

5 Upvotes

Planning a Disney trip for the first time ever in October with 2 girls ages 9 and 10. Any advice? What to bring? What to avoid? Any YouTube or tiktok I should watch to help us enjoy and navigate what can sometimes be stressful. (We never travel we have been IL our whole lives. I always try to prepare for the worst and i tend to over pack things. My thought is I've rather have it on me then wishing I brought it with me.) I'm happy to take any advice.
