I'm looking to book for August 2027 and I know you can pay a deposit and then installments. I was wondering if anyone has had any success getting a discount if they have paid the full balance at the time of booking? Thanks

Hi everyone, I've been a long-time silent reader but finally created an account to join the conversations.

I booked our first trip for next May through the UK site. We'll wait and see if the price drops next week once Euro pricing is available for everyone else — if booking without the GBP-to-EUR conversion turns out cheaper, I'll cancel and rebook.

My plan is to arrive a day early to explore the Village and the hotels, hopefully with dinner at the Hotel New York. I also want to check in early at the Cheyenne and get our park tickets, since I've heard that's possible the day before. We'll book one character breakfast and skip breakfast otherwise, letting the kids eat cereal in the room so they can sleep in a bit. We also want to eat once at Captain Jack's and once at Bistrot Chez Rémy. Otherwise, I don't want to book a meal plan, since I'd like to try things spontaneously on-site if something looks good. As I understand it, the meals I've planned will be cheaper or at least not more expensive paid individually than booking a meal plan — does anyone have different information?

We're not wealthy, but for us this trip is replacing another type of vacation, like a beach holiday. My husband isn't a big fan, so I know we won't be back to DLP again soon, and I want to maximize the magic — that's why I'm already saving now, so we can fully enjoy everything once we're there. Money sometimes helps with that (individual Premier Access)

My main question is: how and when should I tell the kids? They know Disneyland exists and that their cousins have been and are going. My boys are 6 and 8 — if I tell them too early, I'm worried they'll drive me crazy until we leave. My sister says the anticipation is part of the fun too, so what's your experience? When and how should I tell them?

Hello! Was hoping someone could explain the personal allowance of personal goods? Last time I went to Paris was 7 years ago and don’t recall having to declare anything and I spent at least £500. Personal allowance seems to be £390 which I know I’ll definitely go over, it won’t be alcohol or tobacco it’ll just be stuff from Disney.

If I have this right.. if I spend over £390 I’ll have to declare my goods before boarding? And then there’s the whole thing with skip tax.. I can only claim tax back on items below £390? 😅

This is going to be a very spontaneous trip for me. I haven’t even gotten my ticket yet 😅

Since it’ll be my first time at Disneyland, I’m a little nervous and thought it would be nice to find some new friends to enjoy the day with.

I know so many people recommend doing Disneyland solo, but I’d honestly love to have some company (and someone to chat with while waiting in line :D).

Open to any suggestions or tips too!

Hi there, I'm looking to take my almost 5 year old daughter to Disney in May 2027... swithering between Disneyland hotel for 3 nights, or another for 4 nights, shes in her Princess era so might just throw money at is as a special occasion before her 5th and she starts school. I'm a single mother so being super close would also make things easier for me, its just hard to stomach an £800 a night price difference.

Is it best to book now as booking is open, or to hold off to see if there are deals/sales for example Black Friday?

Any tips would be much appreciated.

On my trip next month I am going to be getting an annual pass for the first time. I have used the priority pass at DLP loads of times, but I know that with an annual pass, you can get it to last for the full year. How do I do this? Do I request it the same as any other time, and then pick it up in the parks instead? If anyone has done this, please let me know

I am on step 4: review in the app, ready to pay but I keep getting the message " due to technical reasons, your request cannot be handled. please try later or contact the Disney call center". It is almost 2am where I live and don't know how much longer I should keep waiting. I checked on my laptop and the queue says it's paused. I'm not exiting out of the app in hopes I can confirm and pay, But due to the message I don't know if I should keep trying on the app.

Im looking to reserve for restaurants in Disney for May (staying in Newport) and as I check it only comes up to november 2026 while others are getting it until March 2027. Could it be with where I live (I live in Asia)?

Coming next year May and as Im checking the wait times via the app the lines dont seem to be too long so Im not sure whether to buy the premiere pass. Is may usually more crowded than september??

Heading to Disneyland in a couple of weeks and staying onsite. I was hoping that I could run out and go in to the park to get access to the virtual queue but I saw all visitors need to be tagged in , is that right? Don’t know if I’ll manage to get out on time with my 3 & 4 year old

Hello all. Headed to DLP over the Christmas holiday and will be there Christmas Eve. I’m looking to book a restaurant that night and would like suggestions. I am interested in the Downtown Restaurant, but am not sure if it’s worth the price that night. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I read somewhere that this window in the Buzz Lightyear shop is the only original window leftover from when it was the Visionarium/Timekeeper ride. Does anyone have a pic of it from when the ride was open?

Hi! My Mom and I will be visiting Paris for an American football game in October. We've decided to take a day trip up to Disneyland Paris just to soak it all in.

My Mom lives in Orlando and I'm an annual passholder to both WDW and DLR, so we're looking to just experience rides and shows we don't have in the U.S.

However, my Mom would like to do at least one if not two sit down meals while we are there (she is older and looks forward to a break and food served on proper dishware).

Any recommendations? Bonus points if Mickey is there in a unique outfit.

Hi all, just a curiosity regarding Frozen land in adventure world. Is Olaf free roaming as was implied by the teasers Disney put out before the land opened and if so how regularly?

I am going at the end of March and would love for my children to see him.

Hi! Excited to have booked our first trip to Disney in April 2027. Our children will be 6,3 and almost 2. We are staying in the Disneyland Hotel Castle Club. I am looking for advice / recommendations on whether I should book any restaurants. SM is making me think I need to book everything now! I’m inclined to think we will just eat a big breakfast, snacks in the park and then afternoon tea in the hotel and probably use Disney Village or quick service restaurants for dinner. Wondering if anyone thinks the Royal Banquet would be worth the extra cost or not bother? We definitely wouldn’t do any set menu / table services places. Our children are not very adventurous eaters and one of them has allergies.

Hi everyone! I’m heading to the parks next week and I know Pooh and friend’s characters aren’t on the app at the moment but I’ve seen a few people meet Tigger and Eeyore in surprise pop ups the past few weeks.

I just wondered if anyone could share if they’d met them recently and if so where and what kind of time? I know it’s quite unlikely I’ll see them but would love to be able to keep an eye out. Thank you!
