Why people insist on going to the parks on Christmas day is beyond me.

This Morning....
The Security Line (Mob) on the Harbor side was unbelievable.
The Area was full nearly all the way back the Harbor, including both far sides.
Huge Crowds coming from Toy Story by bus and many walking from Toy Story and the Hotels.
One hour and ten minutes to get to bag check.
Then only 2-3 minutes to get through the Disneyland turnstiles!

Seriously, who looks at that line and says to themself, "I think I'm just gonna jump on the end of this"?

What a horrible way to spend Christmas

What else does one do when they came from out of the area to go to Disneyland for Christmas?

Does anyone know if these crowds are going to last through next week??

Don't know. If I was there I would have walked right back to my hotel room. Maybe go somewhere nice for lunch/dinner, go see a movie or just hang out with family.

What time was this at?! Crazy... We will be in the parks on Monday and can only hope it isn't quite this insane!!

This is historically the busiest week of the year at DLR. So I would expect the crowds to continue through next week, especially for NYE.

We got there at 7 for Magic Morning last year. Crowd wasnt bad in CA until about 10. We planned on leaving at 6 for dinner and returning to DL after but obviously that was not possible. Arriving early and using FP made the day fun despite crowds. And yes you can expect crazy crowds until after the Superbowl based on last years numbers in the (Mousewait)app.

The Super Bowl or the Rose Bowl? The super bowl is more than a month away?

Ya, I think they meant the Rose Bowl because middle of January is MUCH slower

We left the BWPPI at 7:45, walked thru security and lined up at DL. Got into the park right at 8 am and even had time to get a locker. We didn't see crowds outside the park like this so we were lucky. The park was crowded with long lines for everything but we used FP plus and had lunch/dinner reservations. Sometimes it was hard to move around all the people but we managed to do all the rides we wanted to with minimal wait times and good views of the parades. It was a cold and windy day and the fireworks were canceled but it was still a good day to spend with my family. Also, we knew the the park would reach capacity so we stayed in DL all day.

Everyone who is worried about someone getting into Disneyland with a gun should be worried about this instead...unless there's a security checkpoint before the security checkpoint.

Hopefully it is not like this right at opening. We will be arriving tomorrow afternoon and plan on getting there in time for rope drop each day.

The local morning show reported on the capacity closure and said something to the effect of, "they didn't mention whether DCA was closed as well but I imagine it would have been since it is smaller."
