Saw it yesterday. There was no line, but quite a few people inside. It was awesome. If you have the new DVD of Sleeping Beauty it gives you a virtual tour of what it looked like when it first opened. It is nearly identical with upgraded effects.

Mouse Planet had a pretty good write up of the new walk through here:

It looks like 2009 will be the year I return to Disneyland, this is defiantly on my MUST SEE list.

I ADORED the new Sleeping Beauty Castle Walk-Through. The quality is amazing. And there are a few interactive surprises.

I also thought it had the perfect marriage of sets and projections. The projections 'enhanced' the scene, instead of overwhelming the scene, like in Nemo, which is more like a movie underwater than a dark ride.

Make sure you watch the entire final scene from start to finish, no matter how many people are waiting. It's worth the extra time.

I was intending on going to Disneyland today but since it's raining we decided against it. The last time I was there, I had wanted to go see it but it was a long line. Hopefully soon, maybe in the next year, I will get a chance to go.
