I’m hoping I can spend the afternoon up in the dvc lounge after I’ve eaten lunch.

Currently stuck on Peter Pan.

I think I'm going to head over to the Hilbert Museum to check out the Mary Blair exhibit.

The ratio of adults to kids is crazy skewed. Hardly any kids other than summer camp field trips.

Loved HMH. However, the VQ line at 1 pm extended all the way out to Pirates!

Hanging at the Hilton after taking walk around the entire conference complex.

Wait times jumped around noon but look pretty normal now.

Queues can start 430a.
The south entrance looks like a bunch of scanners tap in (5) that go directly into the conf center. While the central bottlenecks as usual.

Interesting. I got called around 2 and no line. Lunch hour probably skewed.

And I guess I’m in the minority who’s said I don’t get to see my beloved classic Haunted Mansion at all this year…

Not sure I fully follow that. If I’m in the Hilton should I just go in the entrance directly in front of the hotel? Or is it worth scootering to the south one or other?

Are badge transfers still permitted? I logged into d23 ticket management website, clicked on "Manage my Badge Profile" and the transfer ticket link was still present. I thought the deadline was in July.

I think the calvacade caused a bottleneck. Not only was it difficult to get from one side of the park to the other, but people whose number came up waited until after the calvacade to head over to HM.

Not sure in the am rush as three.main entrances.

There's a secondary entrance from.the parking lots too. I'm thinking to trying that one out....the one being the Hilton parking lot

One post on this and I'll get out of the way of tomorrow stuff -

If you like this kind of thing and you can make time, it's worth it. 30-ish Mary Blair originals, mostly Wonderland, but also Peter Pan, Cinderella, Small World, etc. I've seen this stuff in books, but the real thing is even more impressive. (The museum's permanent collection is nice, too.)

Thanks for posting, I'm going to see if we can make it over there

Managed to pick up the Trader Sam’s mug release. I didn’t realize it was a whole garden party thing in the gardens outside Disneyland Hotel. They had music and Jungle Cruise photo props. Glad I stumbled into it!

Just walked by the security entrance between the Hilton and the Marriott. Looks like everyone will be getting tote bags in addition to the programs right after security. So just like last time

Post here if that turns out to be a good option!

So what time is everyone getting there tomorrow?

I am aiming to be on my way out of the hotel walking over by 7am.

Yeah let us know. I’m not sure exactly where those entrances are, but I’m staying at the Hilton.

Everything all set in my bag for tomorrow. I wonder if we’ll hear a collective groan around Anaheim at 3:55am as our alarms go off to get VQ. Ridiculous.

I’m not going to rush it. I’m actually a little worried I’ll get an early VQ and have to go get in line early. But I’m not sure if we’ll know rough timeframes for the boarding groups so it’ll be tough. Otherwise I’d go in around 9, hope there’s no lines to get in.

What VQ are people aiming at? I didn’t like any of the pins on Friday so probably going to do the Walt Disney Company Store to get the D23 and studio items. But tempted for Mickey’s of Glendale for Sorcerer Mickey items.
