A few years ago while planning a trip to Disneyland I came across a little book called The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland. It was a fascinating blend of behind-the-scenes information, crowd sizes by days of the week and times of the year, tips and tricks for making the most of your visit and--most helpful of all—actual “touring plans” which told the reader the order in which to see the various attractions so as to minimize your time in line.
I think it would be interesting to use this thread to do the same thing for SDC. Please post your personal tips and tricks, observations about the best times and days to experience the City, money saving strategies, and so on.
One of the tips I especially remember from the Unofficial Disney book was how to keep your rented stroller from turning up missing. I don’t know if this is a problem at SDC--because our kids have been well beyond the stroller years since we’ve been going to the City--, but apparently when you leave a stroller parked outside an attraction or show at Disneyland you might find it missing when you come back out. The strategy for marking and securing your stroller involved leaving some personal possession on the stroller to mark it as yours. Of course this needs to be something that’s not particularly valuable, so they suggested putting a cloth diaper in a baggie, pouring a little bit of cola on it and hanging it from the handle of the stroller. For some reason if you do that the chances of it being swiped are far less!
