We will be visiting Disneyland for two days around 7/11/04. I know that July is peak season. We were not planning on booking a package deal (like we usually do at WDW). We were going to drive up and spend a night or two (free hotel with Marriott points) while we were in San Diego.
Now I hear about the multiple fastpass option thru AAA packages ( I am a AAA member already). We have been to WDW three times in the past three years and just wanted to see what was different in California. I am sure there are many rides that are duplicated in the parks -- it wouldn't be the end of the world if we missed those.
To make a long story short -- how much would you think "multiple fastpasses" would be worth? I know when we went to Universal Florida it made a huge difference to flash our room card and go to the express lane. I have an impatient husband and three kids (4,6,8). Do you think this will have a huge impact on how much you do in a day at the parks? In July do the fastpass machines sell out early like WDW in peak times?
Plus, they are offer "preferred" seating to certain shows with the package -- is there much benefit to that perk?
Also, if you had a choice of going Mon/Tues or Tues/Wed to the parks it would be better to go Tues/Wed, right? Aren't parks normally more crowded on Mon due to people taking long weekends?
Any opinions on this will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
