Has anyone else noticed how slow DL has been today and yesterday? I'm not there but was checking wait times and shocked how short wait times have been. Is it always slow on Easter weekend?
Everything below a Signature AP is blocked out, and those three-day SoCal passes are blocked out, too.
And Easter is so late that a lot of Spring Breaks were weeks ago...
It just continues to confirm that you can't predict crowds these days...
It could be the new pass and demand pricing structure, but when Easter is earlier, it's not usually like this. You used to see a lot of people flowing in after church. And you have more people on spring break. DCA was fairly crowded yesterday compared to DL, my guess is because it was the last day of F&W. It will partly depend on when they do F&W next year, but Easter will be April 1st. If something doesn't change with APs (thinking MaxPass might change the price or make Signatures even more popular), I expect it to me more crowded than a typical Sunday.Deluxe passes were not blacked out yesterday (Easter Sunday). We went and had an amazing day! We arrived around 8:30am and nothing had more than a 20 min wait all morning. We rode everything we wanted including Big Thunder twice and ate lunch by 12:30. Lunch was great....Went to Hungry Bear and literally walked up, ordered and got our food within 2 minutes. That was at 11:30. The whole park was a ghost town. I didn't want to leave but my kids were done after 4 hours. The weather was fantastic as well.
Planning to go next Easter as well. We have always avoided it assuming it would be crowded. It was like a Wednesday in January, 2007.
It's truly remarkable how the state of Disneyland can upset you even when you aren't there. I applaud your commitment and dedication to being discontented with the park.Do you know how frustrating it is to read this? Especially after the fiasco that was my last trip to DL. Wall-to-wall people in the middle of no-time. And Easter comes and it's empty.
You're right; I was thinking of Saturday for the passes.Deluxe passes were not blacked out yesterday (Easter Sunday). We went and had an amazing day!

Maybe Coachella is keeping some of the crowd away? Makes me wish we had visited this weekend!
