Well we got home yesterday and am already missing DL thinking about booking another trip for either fall or early spring!!! We had a wonderful time:cool1: :banana: I was very shocked the crowd level.
We arrived to GC Hotel about 11:30 am on Sunday and we went to CA and spent the rest of the afternoon there. We had Dinner at Rain Forest Cafe which we love:). Then went into DL for just a little bit that evening.
Monday Morning we got to the gates for EE about 6:25 and I was very happy we actually finished everything on ridemax suggestions for EE (we had never used EE before and we really loved it. We then followed Ridemax schedule and was VERY SUPRISED IT WORKED WONDERFULL!!!!:rotfl: went back to hotel for a swim then to Goofys for Dinner in Honor of my son's 9th Birthday and then back to DL again for a while.
Tuesday Morning we went to DL again for EE same time the crowds were a little bit more heavy that morning. Used the ridemax again for the Am and again worked just like it stated it would. The crowds were really bad that day so we went back to hotel took a nap and that evening went to CA to watch Block Party Bash and then stayed there.
Wednesday morning we slept in a little and went to Storytellers for Breakfast then into CA for the morning and early afternoon then we went to DL for the 3:30 Parade and much to our suprise the park was really empty compared to the day before so we spent the rest of the evening there and there wasn't a ride that we didn't get to go on that we wanted to (except Nemo) I wasn't going to even attempt that.
Thursday Went for EE again about same time 6:20 and that day we were actually second family in line in one of the lines. That EE went really well rode everything and actually rode a couple of the rides twice. We then realized that we had forgot our ridemax schedule in room but thought we remembered what we had when and kind of winged it and much to our suprise it worked great the crowds were real low on thursday up until later afternoon. then they picked up a bit.
Friday was our last day and we again went in to CA for a few hours before we had to catch our flight back to Seattle that afternoon.
All in all I was very very impressed I was really nervous about the crowds and I don't know if I was so nervous that I was expecting worse but it was very doable as long as you use the EE Have to follow a little bit tighter schedule or have a plan going in for this time of year not quite as relaxing as maybe a slow time but I would go again in June.!:cool2: :yay: I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND RIDEMAX though my husband was really scepticle about it in the beginning but he even was totally suprise how well it worked!! We didn't attempt nemo did't want to stand in those lines figured we would ride it next time. I would probablly say in all honesty the longest we waited in line was possibly 25 minutes and that was maybe only once or twice. IT was an awesome trip and we can't wait to go back so if anyone has any suggestions on which they think would be better fall or early spring I would love hear from you. Send me any questions you may have and I will try to answer them. :goodvibes :cool1: :) :banana: :banana:
 
I'm glad you had a great trip and that RideMax worked so well for you. I was a little sceptical that we might not get everything done on our RideMax plan but it sounds like it worked really well.
How many people were in line at 6:20am? Also were you held at security until 6:30 or did they allow you straight through the bag check at 6:20?
 
there was maybe 50+ people in line at EE at about 6:20 but by about 6:40 the line really grew I was quite suprised what a difference of just about 20 minutes could do. no we went through the bag check and right up to where they check your tickets. Ridemax worked great we only scheduled our ridemax from 8am till about 1:30 pm everyday.
 
We were there that Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. We thought the crowds at DL on Monday and Tuesday were crazy! CA never got that bad. We were there early Sunday morning and rode Nemo and we did EE on Monday too. Fantasyland was bare since everyone rushed to ride Nemo.
