Crowd levels

[JerrodDragon89]

Last weekend was the most I've seen in a while

Normally LL for Buzz ride is within 10 mins or less of when you use it...but even it had times when it was pushed out over 2 hours. Many LL were done by 3 or 4 PM like Indy and Space

Saying that, while pretty busy I assume it will just get worst as the season goes on

how are mornings this holiday season? typical to regular mornings that arent too crazy until around 11am?

HM can get a 45 Min wait before 10 AM

Space was also getting an hour wait by 9 AM last weekend

So its busier then normal for most attractions

Small World Holiday isn't busy until more near 11 AM but thats kind of the exception to the rule...most fantasyland rides can be just walk on's the first 20 mins but was not the case for Mr Toad or Snow white both had little lines 10 mins after rope drop

The first 3 hours of park opening remain very productive for people wanting to check off several rides. That may change the weekend prior and week of Christmas.

I normally don’t rope drop as a local, but I have been the past couple of weeks. It’s really paid off as I’ve been able to do everything and more before 12..then all hell breaks loose. LOL There have been all kinds of variables with the rain, launch of the holidays and Big Thunder coming back online. Also, sitting at home at looking at the wait times on the app is a good reference, but sometimes isn't reality in the parks. Example, on one visit, Runaway RR said 30 mins on the app and in reality was a 15 min wait.

We’ll see what December brings!!

Here is the link to Thrill data which shows the “heat map” and a lot of other wait time data. You can change the dates to look at historical data also.

We were in the parks Sunday 11/30 from about 9:30 to 4pm. It was busy but not terrible. Wait times were reasonable for most attractions, most of the day. Out-of-towners maybe headed back home today. We rode Space (single rider), Indy (single rider), Big Thunder, Star Tours, and Incredicoaster today, plus checked out some food at the Festival of Holidays.

Yeah, you have to book Space LL super early and then keep altering the booking window to make sure you get the time of day you want. It sucks to be on app that much but it's the best way to make sure you get your LL on that ride during slammed days.

 

[JerrodDragon89]

I will say this, while I did ALOT, LL was nerffed so hard

GOTG at 11 Am had times for 10 at night, like comes on Disney.

You need to find a way to either let people at Disneyland get LL for DCA before 11 AM or find a way to release more times


I think what could help is instead of just having the next time, make it like dinning and have ALL available times on the app and you choose one
If you want me to have to plan my day, then let me plan it over having to play the lottery

I noticed on the Disneyland website that single park tickets to DL are sold out for this coming Friday thru Sunday. Park Hoppers starting in DCA are available on Friday or Sunday but are currently sold out for Saturday. Does this mean the Parks are going to be at max capacity?

its Candlelight Processional weekend so yes, Disneyland will be very crowded.
