Considering adding a 2.5 day visit to Disneyland (Thursday-Saturday morning of week before Easter) to a California trip. There are 5 of us and we have made 3 trips to WDW, but never California. This would be the front end of a trip down to San Diego for a week. But I have no experience with Disneyland and $1500 for tickets for 5, plus all the extras is a good chunk of change and I am trying to figure out how crazy it will be. From what I have read crowd calendars don't apply exactly like they do at WDW. If you plan your days, can you stay ahead of the crowd with a touring plan or will it be too crazy that close to Easter to even enjoy it? I realize this is kind of a vague question, but I would appreciate any genuine feedback from DLR experts. We will be coming from the eastern timezone Weds night, so I wouldn't think getting up early for rope drop will be an issue at all. Thoughts? Odds are we won't be making another family trip to California, so I hate to pass up the chance, but I don't want to drop a lot of money to stand in massive crowds and not enjoy any rides either.
Thanks

PS. I should say I have used the DIS for all our WDW trips and done all the research and touring planning etc.
