Crowds during Dapper Days??

[Satye1]

I'm trying to find out how bad (in terms of how crowded) Dapper Days will be at the parks?

We booked our trip not realizing it falls during Dapper Days end of Feb/beginning of March.

I've not been yet, will be going this year, but have heard the day of the actual Dapper Day in the parks is very crowded.

It was a bit crowded in DLR but DCA felt better. It seems that the Dapper Day people arrive later in the day so I would suggest getting to the parks as early as you can to maximize all attractions, etc. It's a great time to be at the park. We were dressed up and enjoyed people watching, strolling around the parks and not necessarily trying to get on all of the attractions.

I wanted to also specify I was only there on Sunday which seems to be the main day for Dapper Days.

Besides these events, Disney Diva's are also going to be there. Here's a link to the Diva's info. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3075377&highlight=divas

Does anyone know if this means that Aladdin will be closed all weekend?

I'd say this is spot on. I felt like it was crazy busy at DLR, but DCA wasn't bad in the AM. I wouldn't expect to ride much, but the people watching is great. I was grateful I skipped the stroller, it became a huge problem the more crowded it got.

Pretty sure I read that means it will be closed Friday thru Sunday.

I think you are right. I looked up some info about the cheer competition and they will be on the Hyperion Theatre where Aladdin plays all weekend.

I plan on seeing both of the new Frozen shows instead

We'll be there that weekend as well. All Tucson schools have Thursday/Friday off for rodeo. So, DLR is a popular destination for Tucsonans that weekend. With the other stuff that Geemo posted, I'd guess we're in for a busy weekend!

How about crowd levels for the Sept 18th - what do you think the impact will be?
