Ok.... First of all I am new to this board. Hello everyone! My name is Julia and I turned 25 today, a few weeks ago I decided that I'd like to take my 3 year old to Disneyland for a vacation this year. I took her in 2003 and she liked it. I am trying to figure out how to get the best bang for my buck... so here are my questions! (I know its a tall order!)
If I stay 2 nights in a Disneyland hotel booked through AAA and I get the 5 Day Park Hopper tickets with the extra benifits like unlimited Fastpass', free parking, Preferred Seating... then if I go to another hotel property for the remaining 2 or 3 days of my stay then will the special "AAA Resort" benifits go away on my admission ticket? In other words, to get multiple fastpasses will it check the registration at the disneyland hotels every single day or is it a feature on the ticket that will last for all 5 days?
Also, how do the "Early Entry" and "Mickey's Toontown Morning Madness" events work? Do they give me a seperate ticket or is it based off my admission ticket? I ask because I don't know exactly what days we are looking at so I don't know if the 2 disney resort days would fall on days that I could use those benifits.
Also, I would like to clarify that I am correct on this... If I get the 5 Day Park Hopper Tickets at a AAA value of $139 (I think I read?) each then I can, on my last day (probably a Sunday) use the value of the hopper ticket and apply it to one of those $209 Annual Passes. The reason I was not planning on redeeming them sooner is because the dates we choose will probably be blacked out on Saturday. So, if I understand it correctly I could upgrade to an AP for (about) $70?
Also, I have always wanted to eat at the Blue Bayou since I was a small child and my parents always said it was too expensive. What I want to know is if its OK to eat at that place with my 3 year old? I haven't seen any Kids Quest (or hourly daycares) advertised ANYWHERE for people going to Disneyland. I have seen in-room babysitting services but I imagine those cost a pretty penny.
Thanks so much for your time in reviewing my questions. I tried to look them all up on the internet but couldn't find them (or maybe I am blind). Thanks guys (and gals)!
-Julia :D
P.S. I was looking at the dates MAY 14-18. Let me know any reason why those would be bad =) We live in Vegas so the drive isn't too bad so I'm pretty flexible!
