50th Anniversary Crowds????
I am in a dilemma....we are planning to go to DL sometime this spring. We had thought about it prior to knowing about the celebration. We DISLIKE crowds and have no desire to go during the celebration..... over 20 minutes in line for any ride is TOO long for us :O)
What are everyone's thoughts on the crowds during this time? And If we go PRIOR to the anniversary, will everything be closed/ covered ect... We have never been to DL only WDW. So I don't know what typical crowds are in the first place! Any thoughts appreciated! Thanks! ~Zoey

Re: 50th Anniversary Crowds????
Well, My family goes to DL once every spring. So far what we have learned is, you want to plan ahead. We always accidentally plan our trip on So. Cal. Spring Break! And you can imagine the crouds... So make sure you don't plan it for that week. But years when we go, not the CA spring break, it's usually pretty un-crouded. But since it's the 50th i'm really not to sure. I guess I'll figure out this April.

Re: 50th Anniversary Crowds????
Early March is a great time!! Either way, I have been an AP'er for 2 years and I have always found that the wait for the rides are ALWAYS less than what is posted. (Exception: Splash Mountian)
The celebration will be crowded. I tried to reserve a room for May 5th (first day of celebration) and DL Hotel & PP Hotel were both booked. ![]()

Re: 50th Anniversary Crowds????
Some of the California spring breaks are in late March. You may want to check with the park for actual attendance during that time. Or you can grab the Birnbaum's official Disneyland guide. It usually tells you when the crowds pick up.

Re: 50th Anniversary Crowds????
Great idea! I think I will grab a Birnbaum's.... Offsite at Dl doesn't look that bad... How far is the ACTUAL walk from the entrance area hotels to the park? Looks really close on the map.... They say "within walking distance" but... that is a very vague statement ;o) Everything looks closer at DL....

Re: 50th Anniversary Crowds????
Most of them are right across the street, No walking time at all.

Disneyland Hotel and a bit further, Paradise Pier Hotel, you'd have to walk through Downtown Disney (15 minutes I'd guess if you didn't stop and look at anything) OR board the monorail and enter Disneyland that way. (5 minutes maybe to the monorail station) You could also walk across the street to the Grand Californian, enter the lobby, and exit at the other end into CA Adventure. I don't think that would save you much time though. |
