How much would the average meal cost in Disneyland?|169099

I am planning a trip to Disneyland for a group of guys graduating this year.....We are all on a budget and I was trying to figure out what the average cost per meal would be....if it_s too high, we are considering bringing food, but we_d rather eat in d-land if we were able too...Thanks

On average, between your actual meals, drinks and snacks here and there (frozen banana carts, fruit freeze carts, popcorn carts and other stuff), you can plan on spending about $30-$40 a day on food inside D_Land and CA Adventure.

However, all around the outside of Disneyland on Harbor Blvd and Katella Ave, there are numerous restaurants that are all walking distance which are a smart option for one of the meals.

Or, you could do breakfast outside, eat just lunch inside and then leave for dinner again. That would probably be a better plan than bringing food in.

As much fun as Disneyland is, I always look forward to retreating from the crush of the crowd and the lines at some point during the day, and mealtime is a great way to relax a while.

One place that you must try is the ice cream shop on main street. The soft serve there is to die for.

:D Have a great time !!

Figure an average of $12.50 per meal. Hey, save your $$ _ enjoy yourselves. . .

the only bad thing is that the food there...sucks! its horrible! :(

How is the air pollution near Long Beach Airport, specifically the Los Altos neighborhood?|181702

Thinking of moving there. About a mile southeast from the runway, right along the flight path. Asked an earlier question about the noise pollution and it seems the bigger problem might be air pollution.

I_m reading online that there have been many residents reporting black particles and residue on their property. I_m concerned that the expansion and potential increase in air traffic will only make air quality worse.

Will I be putting my kids at unreasonable health risk by moving there?

The only commercial planes flying over that part of the Los Altos area will be on their landing approach with their engines on part throttle. You will be exposed to very little pollution, if any at all. Long Beach Airport is the least used by commercial airlines. I doubt if there is more than 10 commercial flights a day. The majority of its traffic is civil aviation.

Besides you will have the nice cooling breezes off the ocean blowing on shore carrying any crappy air toward the inland parts of So Cal. There won_t be any problems.

You seem to be obsessing over living near an airport. Trust me. After you_ve been there for a week or two you won_t even know the airport is there. You would be moving to a very nice section of Long Beach, a city that has one of the better school systems, and the best public transportation system in the area. You_re worrying over nothing.

I live in the Bluff Park neighborhood in Long Beach and I deal more with port pollution than airport noise or pollution.
Goodness, I hope you get an ocean breeze. I think it must skip over my neighborhood. It gets HOT and I live 2 blocks from the water.
You will get much more air pollution from the Port of Long Beach and the 405 than you will from the airport. From what I read the airport only accounts for 2-5% of air pollution in LBC.
There is a US Air Force base at Long Beach Airport. They fly the big cargo planes known as C-17_s which are built at the Boeing factory at the airport. Occasionally a B-1 bomber will fly into the airport for repairs and you will know when it_s coming and going. You can sign up for email notifications from the city of Long Beach to find out when the big military planes are going to fly. It_s never too early in the morning or late at night.
If you_re still concerned then the California Air Resources Board and the Air Quality Management District (AQMD) of Southern California would be the agencies to contact.

The TV show _Dexter_ has some of it_s scenes filmed in Los Altos. The magic of Hollywood since _Dexter_ is supposed to take place in Miami.

i think i answered your first question about the planes. don_t worry about the air pollution if it was really a problem they would do something about it. your moving to LA metro area of course the air quality is not the greatest, but better than central LA. los altos is a nice middle, middle/upper class area good for raising kids.

Wheres a good place to park in Hollywood while walking around with the family?|153722

We_ll be stopping by on vacation to Anaheim, and spending a few hours in Hollywood, checking out Chinese Theater, walk of fame and just generally being dorks, but where is a good, safe place to park while being dorkish?

Park in the structure next to Hollywood and Highland. If you buy something in the _mall_ you can get your parking validated it_s $2 for 4 hours. Can_t beat that!

The others are correct, but they didn_t mention that the parking structure is for the Hollywood and Highland complex, which includes the Kodak Theater, and Chinese Theater. It_s right across from the El Capitan, where they show Disney movies.

Safe, clean, the best place in Hollywood to park.

BTW, you can also jump on the Red Line subway and go one stop north to Universal City Walk and do the tourist thing there, too.

Theres a paking place in back across from the Kodak Theater, its a little garage, thees a sign and the parking ramp goes up, its 10 dollars for parking and they close late so its a good deal, we always park there when hanging in Hollywood. If your going down Hollywood Blvd you will see the Old big white Hotel I think its calld the Rosevelt well if your coming down and its on the left side then you take the right exactly in front of the Hotel its a small intersection with only right turn and the parking structure is after a few stores and on the left again theres a sign that says parking, good luck.

The parking lot in any of the theaters, or street parking if you can find it.

Or better yet, just take Amtrak from Anaheim to Union Station, and then the subway (red line) to Hollywood. The Hollywood/Highland stop will take you right to the Chinese theater.

I think there is a huge parking garage on the back side of the Kodak Theater. It_s where people park to catch buses to the Hollywood Bowl.
Give that a try !!!!!!

The parking structure at the Kodak Theatre, it_s close to most of the sites and not too expensive by Hollywood standards.

I like the parking structure behind the Chinese Theater that leads right into the mall.

in the kodak theatre, i allways park there

British Citizen living in Canada crossing the US border near Buffalo?|166136

I_m planning on crossing the US border from Canada around this fall. I did the same trip last year and I had to wait in a stupid room with a million people at Buffalo for two hours. Is there a better place to cross nearby or is there any paperwork or clearance I can get to cross beforehand? I_m a British Citizen but am also a permenant resident of Canada.

Be careful, Buffalo is very dangerous. I_m afraid to go there, the newspaper is always writing about murders and robberies every day.

why do u have a problem crosing if u have a permanent resident card?? I am also a British citizen but live in Canada.I have a valid British passport and i also geta card at the American side of the border called Visa Waiver.......it is good for three months and cost $6 american.I have a problem with my birth and record of landing info which i need to get amended before i can get my permanent resident card.The card i get at the border is called I-94 Look into that or a valid british passport

Try the Queenston-Lewiston crossing (at the end of Highway 405) or the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls. Fewer people use these crossings.
