I agree with @SOCALMouseMommy. I'd plan to stay in Carlsbad for dinner (we love Pizza Port) and monitor Google maps or Waze for traffic.

I think you have found your answers, but here is what I would do with your itinerary/flight times. I'd stay close to the airport on Saturday night after you arrive and go to the zoo on Sunday. The zoo is very close to the airport. Parking and ticket lines will be best first thing in the morning...

Correct. They do not allow cutting through the GCH lobby toward DTD/the parks. They moved security to between ESPN zone and Earl of Sandwich so now there is a security check point from GCH into DTD. The GCH security is much too small to handle the masses who previously cut through, so entrance...

Personally, unless things go awry and you get in much later (or big luggage delay or rental car delay), I'd just head to the resort and get all the traveling part over. I can relax once we get to our room, so waiting an extra 3-4 hours for traffic to clear would feel worse to me. We arrived once...

FYI - you can't cut through the Grand Californian (they check for valid room keys or AD reservations before allowing you to enter on that side). ETA - sorry for the duplicate info, stepped away for a min and someone else responded in the meantime. It really doesn't add too much time, I find it...

100 MB per day is plenty if you do as you said and turn off the other apps. We used the Disney App a ton (character locations, menus, wait times, MaxPass) and barely went over 100 MB for 3 days total.

I'm trying to remember and we've been there twice in the last 3 years. Yikes! Apparently not enough people wore them to stand out in my mind. A lot of people wore flowers pinned behind their ears. You get one free in your room. Then my girls wanted some, so we bought more at a little store on...

As much of a pain as it is to haul a car seats, I highly recommend using it on the flight(s). Airplane seat belts are not designed to be used until 40lbs and sitting properly (i.e. not squirming all over), though there is no actual FAA rule. Then your son will be safely secured on the plane and...

Frozen is very easy to do stand-by. I personally wouldn't spend the money on a Frozen dining package. We went in the peak of summer, attended a 3:00 show, and arrived about 45 min early. Bought mickey bars on the way in and shortly after the kids finished (i.e. made a chocolate mess of...

Yep, definitely! We bring our Baby Jogger City Select + an umbrella stroller for our 3 kids. The strollers allow us to do SO MUCH more by walking quickly while they ride.

Correct, the dedicated 2 BR has an extra half bath. It is right near the door to the hallway, off the kitchen. Then there are full bathrooms accessed through each of the bedrooms. FYI on the 2BR lock-off: if access to the toilet/sink is a concern for those sleeping in the living room, there is...

Wow, how annoying. I just stayed at an Embassy Suites earlier this week (owned by Hilton) in a SoCal city and on the last morning, someone called me to offer me a $199 3 night stay, good for up to a year for a property in a near by city. I said no thanks and hung up quickly. Seems like this is...

How do you check wait times, fast pass return times, dining menus, character locations, take pictures. I'm getting panicky at the thought of not having my phone and I don't even have a current trip planned. :-) I'd bring one phone, which can handle MaxPass for your entire party. The logistics...

The set-ups are a little different. 2 br lockoff is a studio + a 1 br with an adjoining door, 2 bathrooms total. The studio portion will have its own entrance to the hallway, a kitchenette, a queen bed (I think), and a pull out sofa. The 1 br portion has a king bed, a living room with a pull...

Dress-up clothes, musical instruments, coloring, play kitchen, video games, cartoons, outdoor play area with balls and hula hoops, there is also a small play structure/house they let the young ones on, dance parties, characters. The "too little to participate" designation is because they only...

MaxPass didn't use much data at all. 3 days, 108 MB total. I even turned off my WiFi signal so I wouldn't waste any battery searching for one. Also used the app for looking up entertainment, characters, dining, menus. My battery lasted all day though I didn't surf on it much - just Disneyland...

We have rented twice from Alamo, which is offsite, just a little down the street from the Dollar rental. Honestly, it was no big deal to go offsite for us. We just walked from baggage claim out to the rental shuttle curb, the Alamo shuttle pulled up, and it was maybe a 5 minute drive to the...

I wouldn't cancel your vacations. The air quality right now is at 62 in Anaheim, which is moderate (<=50 is good). I live in an area that is hit with smoke from wildfires every summer and we had a couple weeks this year where the air quality was around 160-200 from wildfires, which is...

Yes, it is a safety tested belt positioning booster. I wouldn't use it as a regular full-time use seat, but for travel where you just need to Uber or shuttle to a destination, I would certainly use it. Here is the Car Seats for The Littles review: https://csftl.org/updated-bubblebum-review/...

I would probably call RCCL and ask your questions so you get the most accurate answers - especially regarding changing names/swapping passengers. FWIW, I recently booked two adjoining staterooms and they booked it as two separate reservation numbers and the cc was charged for two separate...
