west coast newbie

Well after so many years of Orlando, next year, we've booked from manchester to vegas for a change.

The very rough idea at the moment is a few days in vegas, go and do disneyland CA, and then do a few days/week in hawaii before back to vegas and home.

We've been to vegas a few times so have to decide on a nice hotel and some shows, fine.

No idea about Disneyland CA though! is there an app like WDW ? are there things we have to book far out? no idea!

And I've even LESS idea on hawaii...

hope there are some experts here

Hi Keith.

There is a disneyland app. You can upload your tickets on there. Fast passes are booked on the day, you can go manually to the fastpass kiosks at the attractions, or the better option, you pay $15 per day per person for a maxpass, which allows you to book fastpasses on your phones and includes all your photos (rides + photographers). You can decide on the day if you want to buy the maxpass or not. Hotels: we stayed at the Hotel Pepper Tree Anaheim - amazing but 10/15 min uber / lyft from the parks $15 each way but a big saving. There are good hotels right opposite the entrance on harbour boulevard. We did do one night at the disneyland hotel - amazing! but obviously expensive. If you can stay on site brilliant ££££££££££££££££££££ but there are hotels literally minutes walk on harbour boulevard (check google maps).

Dining reservations - not as hard to secure as WDW - usually from 60 days but some were at 30 days due to the schedule not being out (they seem quite relaxed...). make sure you book Oga's Cantina 14 days before if you want to visit as on the day it got snapped up quickly.

What are your dates? The Oogie Boogie Bash was brilliant.

Disneyland Resort is great. I recommend Walking in Walt's Disneyland Footsteps if that is also your thing.

We just got back last week. You can PM questions if you like.

oh i forgot:check the cost of dvc points for disney's grand californian and aulani in hawaii - there are a couple of big agencies out there or some dibbers, might save you some money if there is availability - unfortunately i was too late

We’ve been to Hawaii a couple of times in the last two years and absolutely LOVE it.

Don’t under estimate how long it takes to get there from the west coast - it’s a whole day travelling once you factor in travel to and from airports (flights alone are 5 to 6 hours).

I would strongly suggest going all that way for a few days isn’t worthwhile.

Our first trip was nine nights and we did two islands (Oahu and Maui)

Second time was 20 nights and we revisited Oahu, Maui and also went to Big Island (Hawaii).

Happy to help in any way
