Second, I'm getting around a little slower lately and was thinking about renting a wheelchair. Would that be convenient for still going on the rides and going into attractions (park outside) or should I just go slow and under my own power with frequent rests. What is the addresss for the Character Warehouse? Can I still use my cup for the Grand Californian if I bring it with me? Thanks all you experts!! You REALLY helped on my last trip about a year ago!!

Another question for everyone: If I get the "Annual" pass - is that annual as in a year after I buy it or annual as in January through December? We will be there from 5/12 through 5/21 and not counting the blacked out Saturdays, it would be 9 days we could spend at DL. Or maybe I should get the one without the blackout days? Especially if it is a full year after I buy it, then I could come again early next year. *smile*

Originally Posted By roberts1398 As to the 5 day hopper question, the current deal is through April 27th. I would assume they'll have a new one taking effect after that. Are there going to be kids (9 or under) in your party? Or will it be only adults? If there are kids, the Kids Play Free deal is a significant saver! Other than in a vacation package (WDTC, Alaska Airlines, AAA, etc.), it's my understanding that the only place you can get these tickets currently is getawaytoday.com. If you won't have kids, you can get the adults play at the kids price from disneyland.com, AAA, etc. Not sure, however, what it'll be with the next deal...
Originally Posted By SweetEmi Thanks everyone! That is very helpful, I think I will probably end up going with the annual pass with no blackout dates and then just be sure to come again early next year. I'm glad I can get it ahead of time too and not activate it until I actually enter, that will be helpful. Any idea what it costs to rent a wheelchair a day? Aloha! Can't wait to get back to the magic of DL!
Originally Posted By TinksBoyFriend The only Blackout dates for the Deluxe annual pass ($229) between May 12 and 21 is Saturday, May 13 and Saturday May 20. For $30 (I think) you can buy a Blackout day ticket. You can upgrade to a Premium ($349) pass and get full credit for the Blackout day admission on the day you purchase and use it. The only Question is if the AP prices should go up before you purchase the AP. Parking for the Deluxe pass is $49. Parking is included with the Premium pass. I suggest you check the Annual Pass section of the Disneyland.com web site for more information. I hope this helps. Aloha! and enjoy your trip.
Originally Posted By SweetEmi Thanks!! I have another question, if I'm staying at a nearby hotel, is it worth driving the car over and parking in the parking lot if I get the annual pass that includes that? I mean, I am running a little slower now a days and not having to walk as far is probably a good thing. Does anybody know how much it is to rent a wheelchair? Aloha!
