The next planned trip currently is late November… Hopefully Star Wars Galaxy’s edge will be open by Thanksgiving.

What’s “ASL”

Annual Survey of the Law

We are planning something Disney in late November/early December 2019, trying to decide between Disneyland, Disneyworld, Aulani or a cruise. We’ll have a 1 year old at the time so waiting to see what kind of temperament she has before deciding on the destination.

@eagle90 smaller might be better if i’m going alone!
@nascfan i love christmas! and my birthday is december 5 so it’d be even more special i’m just scared cause i’ve never been so i dont want to get lost and stuff especially since it’d be solo
@jloosh78 lol i’m definitely leaning towards f&g!! it seems like so much fun! and hey maybe you’ll get lucky and win the lottery

I just recently did Disneyland on my own in June (was out there for a conference and couldn’t resist going for the first time). I did one day at Disneyland and one at California Adventures. It was the perfect size and not awkward at all to be flying solo! Quick tip – do the single rider for Matterhorn – I was able to walk right on to the ride! It was a little disorienting in DL because it is similar to MK but not entirely. One of the best parts about being solo is being able to find great seats for things because you are by yourself. For Fantasmic, make sure you get a fastpass or get seating SUPER early. They don’t have as much seating as HS.

Good luck and I would love to hear about your trip to compare notes! (also, my birthday is December 4!)

To respond to the original question, we are going down May 19-May 25, staying in French Quarter and celebrating a 4th birthday while we are there! Doing lots of research to determine reservations!

@julia That makes total sense. I didn’t stay on property because I was there for the conference but almost all hotels in the vicinity have shuttle transportation to the parks. My hotel had a shuttle that I paid $12 for that ran continuously between the parks and the hotel. It was about a 10 minute ride, so not much different than in the world. So if you aren’t super concerned with staying on property, you can get a more affordable hotel with the same transportation perks.

Yes! I am booked! My family and I are coming from Scotland for three weeks and I’m so excited. We’ve only been once before as a family which will be about 10 years ago I think and I was there for a couple of days for my DCL training but only got to go to one park. We’re staying 2 weeks at WDW in a Lion King suite at Art of Animation then moving to Universal for a week. Needless to say its all I can think about and its months away! Can’t wait, though as Scots we are seriously going to struggle with that summer heat!

2019 will be first year in many missing a Disney trip. We can’t afford to go this year, but in 2020 we’ll be doing the Disney Cruise again. I can’t wait.
