Crowd levels

[JerrodDragon89]

I'm surprised how busy it was this weekend...its suppose to be the calm before the storm...but mostly it was normal busy with no events

I'm not going until the holidays start but most other parks are pretty empty right now...once again showing Disney is just the king and no matter how much they raise prices people come

I was there yesterday (Sunday) and it was blissful. Wait times were a fraction of what was posted and I could actually walk in a straight line through Adventureland.

Thats good to hear, I was going mostly off the wait times and it seemed normal

But I'm glad Disney does lie and go higher, it just makes it nicer to get in a 40 min line and take under 30 mins vs at some other parks when it says 15 mins and you end up waiting an hour

MK reservations were unavailable in the days leading up to Friday and Sunday. I didn’t check the day of. But I guess the non-MK crowds they were expecting didn’t show. MK are not available today or tomorrow, or for Fridays and Sundays into Dec, so they must still be anticipating large crowds.

Looks like LLMP sold out today. I was in meetings all morning so I am not sure if it was immediately sold out (like we saw last month) or if it sold out after a few hours. But I'm thinking today is probably even worse than normal Mondays with a lot of people having tomorrow off. I'm sure many people were smart (unlike me, lol) and took today off!

I hope it doesn't sell out quickly when we go. My sister has a 4-day pass with LLMP but since I have a MK, I have to take my chances. It would be a bummer if she has it but can't use it because it's sold out and I won't be able to get it.

I know....I'm nervious..I am going to need to RUSH to the gates when I'm going in two weeks to get LL

If its sold out...I'm screwed. No night time rides

What’s going on tomorrow for people to take off work? Speculation is that Disney is filing its Christmas programming today and tomorrow and thus limited the number of people in the park.

Tomorrow is Veteran's Day which is a holiday for most schools. A lot of people will take off from work, and some people will have the day as a paid holiday.

Saturday and Sunday weren’t bad but today (Monday November 10) is very crowded! It’s Veteran’s Day weekend and many California schools have 4-day weekends. DH and I both work for schools so we took the opportunity to take a trip down here with our adult son. The security and ticket lines were backed up further than I’ve ever seen them this morning. Ride wait times are high right now. My son has a DAS so we’re carefully booking what he wants to ride to keep his wait times manageable. We’re also taking advantage of mobile ordering to make meals easier. We don’t let crowds stop us!

Thank you! I’m a moron, it wasn’t even an hour ago I texted my dad to remind him to get his free INO meal tomorrow for. Veteran’s Day!

Are they? I know the tree went up this morning.

I haven’t seen confirmation yet but there’s a ton of speculation on social media. Reservations are entirely sold out for today and tomorrow (even one-day tickets) and appearently crowd levels are light at the moment.

What does "filing its Christmas programming" mean? It isn't something that can be done when the parks are closed?

Filming (typo). Historically most content is filmed while the park is open, although crowd size is intentionally limited. Content is also filmed when the parks aren’t open (before and after).

Hey, it happens! But yeah, I work for a UC and we have the day off tomorrow. I am pretty sure that state workers and maybe county workers have the day off as well. And of course for most (all?) schools it is a holiday.

I went Saturday night and it was so quiet. I got to ride so many rides from about 5:30-9:30 plus saw the parade. Normal Saturday evenings if I check Space Mountain, there is at least 50-75 people or more in the single rider line. This Saturday, there was no one there so I asked a cast member and she gave me the card and sent me straight down and there was no wait at all. Rise was posted as 40 minutes and I think it was only about 25 minutes (about 7ish I guess).

Sunday was the same. Thunder Mountain had a posted time of 30 minutes. We waited less than ten. We pretty much just walked through the queue and onto the ride without stopping. Just about every restaurant had a walk up list available. We booked Carnation Cafe with a 30 min wait and received an immediate "your table is ready" text.

Oh, sometimes I wish I lived there so I could do these things, too! You guys have it SO GOOD!

Per reports, they did indeed film their Christmas programming featuring Gwen Stefani and Nicole Scherzinger.

I’m still confused as to why MK availability has been tight. Looks like most everything was a walk on until this evening, but wait times have been manageable since. 16 of the best 24 days had no availabilit earlier day, although they replenished some availability since. That doesn’t look good when they’re trying to sell the Imagine Key at nearly $2K (and provably a significant number of renewals from when they went on sale the past two years this time).

No MK availability for the next 7 days (Saturday comes and goes) despite reports that we are to get the heavier rakns in OC in quite some time, with temps a dropping to the high 40s and daytime highs in the upper 50s. Then again, the weather report has just been adjusted more favorably so maybe people are right.
