  1. My daughter and I were just there last weekend (Dapper Day etc.)…it was indeed surprisingly not crowded. Sunday afternoon was just like you said. Not that crowded. It was great!

  2. We were there on Thursday and got Genie + cause it was pretty busy. Indiana Jones broke down right when we got in our vehicle but they got it started after about 15 min and we got a extra ride on it. We were there till Sunday night and even though the crowds were substantial we rode everything. Thanks David for the video!

  3. The only part about the Splash Mountain changeover that makes me sad is that the queue for Splash Mountain is pure Tony Baxter magic. I doubt the new queue will be nearly so immersive.

  4. You mentioned repeatedly about how crowded it was, but the video did not reflect that, other than the regular choke points it looked wide open. In several recent videos from Mondo, he has talked about how NOT crowded Disneyland is this time of year. If it truly is as crowded as you were suggesting on a Thursday, then that is definitely not a selling point to go to DL.

  5. We’re scheduled single park tix on may 3 Dca, 4 dlp and 8 DLp. Should we move the 8th(Monday) to the 7th for the Sunday option? All our current dates are closing early for Star Wars nights otherwise. Will the lines be better on an event day, or a Sunday?

  6. I am starting to plan for spring break 2024. This will be our first trip to California. I was originally thinking of doing 3 days at Disney and 2 days at Universal. Is this a good plan or would we be better of doing all Disney and saving Universal for a different trip? I know spring break is busy!

  7. These people with their strollers!!! Ugh! Make your child WALK!! My mother first took me at age 5, (fifty years ago), and I WALKED. Go to Europe, the kids walk. Here in the U.S. the fat kids sit in strollers!! …..TERRIBLE!

  8. unfortunately – the result of suppressing magic keys IMO is the weekdays or now quite busy with key holders and the cheapest tickets (Monday mostly). At times feels really crowded. Another way to look at it – if you want to spend the most money you will get the best experience. Kind of what folks were predicting months ago. Pay to play is still alive and well. As t queues – you walked right past a train queue that was way down the stairs and around I had not seen that since Holidays a while ago.

  9. I have only done Galaxy's Edge twice now, but I too feel like more characters would be nice. They can pull it off on the Avengers campus, so I don't get why there are only a few on Batuu.

  10. Disneyland to Host First-Ever Transgender ‘Pride Nite’ aimed at grooming and recruiting children into the LGBTQIA+P for Pedophile Movement! If this isn't enough to ban Disney, I don't know what is going to be! Why do they have to have stuff like this at a childrens theme park unless they are wanting to destroy our children. People need to take a stand against this demonic insanity!!

  11. Just got back from a 5 day Visit. Bought Genie+ every day we had rides break down during the time were were supposed to be riding. Even with a ride the lower tier rides any time credit it was still very disappointing they couldn't keep rides up. Indy, Rodger Rabbit, and Big Thunder Mountain were down when it was our turn to ride them. Most troubling is that Thunder was down within a couple hours of reopening after a long referb.

  12. I am still so angry that 3 no shows in 90 days get you blocked for a month! Yet they can take our money ( if your on a payment plan ) for that month….there should be NO penalty and same day cancelation OR even better, NO REZ!

  13. I think they could have, if they must, chosen a movie that more were obsessed with. I don’t think princess and the frog is that.. memorable or dramatic for an entire ride. Possibly just change the orleans restaurant but that’s it. splash mountain and the look of the surrounds fits SO well into this area. the vibe of the ride has forever felt perfect in that dead end corner. no ride at Disneyland feels the way this ride feels. I hope they do not ruin what we’ve had for years. do not rip out animatronics and replace them with semi par animatronics or screens. going next Sunday and possibly one more time to ride it for one last splash. I’ll forever be singing zippadeedooodaaaaaa in this ride though as many will

  14. They have some really narrow areas at EPCOT in the back of showcases like Morocco.
    But they have the opposite issue all over, where the walkways are so wide and featureless that it’s like being in Parking Lot World.

  15. So on Saturday when fantastic Had it mishap, We had a lightning lane at 1115pm it got turned into a multi experience because that whole area got shut down. I have booked reservations for the end of the month for just what you're talking about. I need to feel those feels over there just in case we loose something. I love the 100 acre woods I love zippy
    Doda, It reminds me of my childhood, so I will be Back to feel the feels and hope that when it returns it will not be too much affected.

  16. I was laying in bed on 4/30 Sunday checking wait times and the highest wait time was obviously in Galaxy's Edge for ROTR but that only ever got to 70 min max for the day. Meanwhile Smugglers Run was at Max 30. BTMRR was 25-45 all day. Space Mountain was up and down all day but never past 45. Peter Pan was 40 max all day. Indy maxed out at 50. Jungle Cruise was 35 max. Haunted Mansion was 40 max. That was in the peak afternoon time of 1-4pm. Otherwise the rest of the park was 5-15 ALL DAY!!
