I had a fun few days off on my adventures touring various hotels & even Disney’s newest cruise ship, The Wish.
Yes, I did get to cruise first hand on this gorgeous ship last September, but this was a private tour of ALL the areas and best of all, I learned about how to make your vacations even better!

Now who’s ready to book a Cruise on The Wish? Or maybe even The Wish’s sister ship… The Treasure!?!

***CHANGES COMING TO DAS PASS AT DISNEY***

{Please keep all questions related to DAS changes to this thread. All other posts made regarding DAS changes will be removed. So be sure to ask your questions here}

The DAS program was previously designed to assist guests with difficulty tolerating long queues due to a disability.

Under the updated system, however, the program is intended to accommodate “only those guests who, due to a developmental disability like autism or similar,” are unable to wait in long lines.

Here’s what guests need to know about the new changes:

* changes go into effect on June 18 at Disneyland and May 20 at Walt Disney World, will allow guests who need the service to use it.

* DAS Advance pre-arrival attraction selection will no longer be the default offering for all DAS guests.

* Unless it’s a family, DAS parties can only have a max of 4 people. (i.e. you & your significant other have 3 children, then they will allow 5. But if you are traveling with 4 friends, only you plus 3 guests can be on the DAS)

* DAS enrollment eligibility will increase from 60 to 120 days.

* Current DAS guests will need to re-apply.

Disneyland recently updated its DAS website and noted that guests planning to use the program and will be visiting the resort between April 9 and June 17 should note that:

Pre-arrival conversations to determine eligibility for DAS will be available 2-30 days before your visit.
In-person conversations to determine eligibility for DAS will be at Guest Relations locations.
Guests can book up to two one-hour return windows for select experiences using the DAS Advance planning option.
The popularity of DAS increased over the years likely due to “Disneyland line hack” videos posted on social media. These videos show guests how they can use the program to skip the line without paying for the Genie+ service. Hence the need for changes.

As with all changes there will be an adjustment period, so let’s be patient with eachother. Overly opiniated/aggressive comments will be removed & could result in a temporary suspension.
So Please let’s remember to be kind in our responses & comments. 💕

Once Disneyland was completed, Walt Disney would often spend the weekend nights in his apartment inside Disneyland. On one night in the early 1960’s, overnight workers in Disneyland were replacing the trolley tracks. It was about 3am, and they had been using jackhammers for hours, pulling the old trolley track out to install a new one, when a worker noticed that Walt was sitting on a bench across from them in Town Square, eating an orange.

‘Sorry, Mr. Disney! We didn’t know you were sleeping here. We’ll keep it down!’

Walt (and I’m paraphrasing 😎) responded with, ‘No, it’s much more important for the tracks to be ready when the guests arrive tomorrow morning than it is for me to get a few hours sleep! You fellas want an orange?”! 🍊

And that is how, according to the late Rolly Crump and his “Walk in the Park”, some overnight Disneyland workers had the chance to sit on a bench in Disneyland and share oranges with Walt Disney at 3am sometime in the early 1960’s! ❤️🏰❤️

When Walt Disney was about six years old, he and his kid sister, Ruth, used tar on the ends of sticks to "paint" on the side of the Disney home. When Walt's dad, Elias, discovered his kids' artwork and couldn't remove it from the side of the newly-painted, white farmhouse, he invited his son out to the barn for a "lesson in painting". Sadly, it wasn't the first or last spanking of young Walt's life.

Elias had a brother, Robert Disney, who was married to a woman named Margaret, who Walt and his siblings called Aunt Maggie. Aunt Maggie was one of Walt's favorite relatives and she just happened to visit the Disney Family farm soon after Walt and Ruth's painting session. Maggie mentioned to her brother-in-law that she actually thought some of the paintings that Walt had done on the side of the house were pretty good! She informed Elias that, on her next visit, she planned to bring Walt real art supplies so that he could properly express himself.

Elias told Margaret that no child of his would have time for such foolishness. They lived on a farm, and there was plenty of work to go around, even for a little boy. It was a good thing for Walt that his Aunt Maggie didn't listen to his dad. On her next visit, she brought Walt sketching pencils, a sketch pad, and colored pencils.

At six years old, Walt still hadn't started school. In fact, Elias had insisted that Walt wait until his sister Ruth was old enough to begin school so they could both start the first grade together. Walt's mom, Flora, taught him to read and write at home around this time. She also helped Walt arrange his day so that he could get through all of his chores in the morning and right after lunch, leaving the rest of his afternoon free for him to meander around the farm, looking for animal subjects to sketch.

Walt would sometimes accompany the Disneys' neighbor, Doc Sherwood, on his rounds around Marceline. Doc was a physician and a family friend, and Walt loved riding next to him in his surrey that was led by Doc's big horse, Rupert. On one afternoon, Walt brought along his new pencil and sketch book, keeping it hidden under his jacket. When Doc would go into each home to check on each patient, Walt would find an animal subject and sketch it, always being sure to hide the pencil and pad under his jacket when he saw Doc heading back to the surrey. Walt was a shy kid, and while his mom and his Aunt Maggie would praise him for his drawings, he still didn't have the confidence to let anyone else see them!

After their final stop of the day, Walt held the horse's reins while Doc filled out his report on his latest patient. When Doc's pencil tip broke, he looked at Walt and said , 'Walter, can I borrow your pencil? And while you're at it, why don't you show me what you've been drawing all afternoon?'" Walt sheepishly reached into his jacket and pulled out his sketchbook to show Doc a drawing of the last patient's dog asleep in the sun, a scene he had captured on his pad while waiting for Doc to return. 'That's very, very good Walter,' Doc told him. Then he asked Walt, 'Would you draw a picture of my horse for me?' An excited Walt enthusiastically agreed!

Doc Sherwood stood and held Rupert's reins while Walt sketched his prize stallion. Walt later said that the Doc must've held that horse there for an hour, giving Walt plenty of time to get all of the details absolutely right. When he was finished, Doc took the drawing and told Walt how much he loved it. Then he told Walt, "I believe a man should be paid for his services. Not just in hams and bushels of corn, the way I do sometimes, but in good, cold cash. That's why I'm going to pay you five cents for this drawing." At just six years old, Walt Disney, the artist, had made his first sale.

Yesterday I was hardly on social media as I was spending time with my kids, but all day long I kept having this weird looming feeling of loss and I couldn’t explain it. I would tear up occasionally and I would pray. I had also been praying for my friend Carmen Gonzalez since Wednesday when she posted for people to pray and that God knew what for, yet I still didn’t associate the two feelings. Nor did I realize why when I felt this sense of loss yesterday I would go into praying and ultimately pray ”God, what ever this is that’s happening, bring peace only you can”.
When I came home late last night, I find out my sweet friend’s oldest son Kameron had passed yesterday morning. I have no words, only tears and prayers of mourning. Heaven gained a precious soul yesterday that we lost too soon here on earth. My heart breaks for my sweet friend & her husband & their entire family.
I have one request when you see this, please… please help in any way you can.

With heavy hearts, we share that our beloved Kameron went to be with the Lord on February 1st, 2024. K… Rosie Deyoung needs your support for Kameron Gonzalez
