Just wanted to inform those coming to visit soon, yesterday was our first day at DLR and when we came back to our hotel (FFI on Harbor) we were met at both sides of the crosswalk by protesters of the police shooting in Anaheim. I will say that most were peaceful protesters but a few were shouting warnings to visitors that they should not return to the park that night because they were gonna storm the place! We were VERY concerned and stopped to talk to Disney executives that were standing at the entrance. They tried to assure us that they would not be able to enter. There are several Anaheim police officers near the protesters to stop any violence. When I returned back to the hotel at night they were all gone. That was my main concern, walking back at night.
This afternoon we walked back to the hotel again for a break and there were a smaller bunch of protesters but several police rushed towards the stoplight near Hojo's. It appears that several hundred protesters were planning on storming the entrance to DLR but police are trying to stop them at the light. They are even stopping traffic by walking in the street. It really has my family kinda nervous. I have seen and talked to several hotel GM's along Harbor who are also concerned about their properties.
Not trying to scare anybody, but I want others to be aware of what to expect when you arrive. We have 2 more days of our trip and I am hoping this subsides soon.
On a more positive note, inside the parks you wouldn't know anything is going on outside. Crowds are busy, but manageable. CL is fabulous! I am really impressed. More later!
