Are you going for lunch today? The reports I've seen on Facebook for WDW, it doesn't sound like it is overly crowded. I would guess it might get busier after people get out of work today and head over for the evening hours??
We were going to go but a few did not want to for fear that it would be packed. So no dice.

Be honest, I would probably be feeding him a few drinks in order to convince to add a "F Ticket" to the website and some new job classifications so I wouldn't have to be stuck in the submarine anymore... :mrgreen: :wink:

That seems akin to the mile high club, getting your F ticket punched at disneyland. :D

Just watch out for that lady who yells at drunk people "There are children here!"

It looks like most of the rides have little to no wait, but then some of the thrill rides have summer waits (such as SM having 2 hours). I wonder if they are running a reduced load on some of the rides? Such as if you went to big thunder in the morning during winter, it would be walk on but it takes forever to get on since there is only one train running.

Disneyland is now up to full capacity. Rides have gotten crazy: 80 min for Big Thunder, 90 Min for Space, 60 min for Jolly Holiday bakery.

It sounds like the crowds really poured into WDW later in the evening and then people stayed through the wee hours after all. Disneyland sounded like it was packed the entire time.

So how did it go? By all accounts it seems like it actually stayed pretty crowded all night :shock:

"Disneyland got so crowded overnight that it had to shut the gates roughly between 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and 12:30 a.m. Thursday...Traffic was backed up on the freeways and streets leading to Disneyland...Some waited 40 minutes for coffee."

They got worse even later apparently, over 2 hours for space at some points. There is a question, since people were waiting to buy tickets at 2 am, does a ticket purchased at 12:01 AM on 3/1 mean you get in for one more disney day and normal park hours on thursday?

I would hope so, otherwise that would be an expensive ticket :(

Disneyland last night... OMG. It was awesomely fun. Everything was packed. There were lines for all the bars, even Trader Sams. It was like Grad Night for adults. The bad news: I lost my car key at 4:30am, we left, put in a report, crashed at a friends, and called at 8:30am and they had it. I'm on 3 hours of restless sleep but it was fun!

When EO came back people literally bought admission, saw the movie once or twice and left, so nothing surprises me there.
