I arrived at the parking structure at around 7:10 this morning. They didn’t open until 7:30 but I really had to use the bathroom. I asked a CM where the closest one was and if I’d have time to make it there and back before the lot opened (I was by myself and wanted to avoid any awkward situations with my car). He said I could so I ran most of the way to the bathroom and ran a good part of the way back. As I approached my car, I could see that the lot was opening. I jumped in, started it up and began to move immediately. Perfect timing!

It’s a little chilly at the park this morning but crowds are about average. I managed to be first on PP and have done reasonably well on Buzz today. I’ll leave the park around 1:30. Sometimes I treat myself to half days on Wednesdays :-).

More pics below.

Beautiful, empty park! Has it been very warm/chilly there lately? We've never gone this late in the spring, so have no clue what to pack!

I'm told it was kind of cold yesterday. Certainly it was a little gray and cool today and there were a few drops of rain earlier (unusual for SoCal). A sweater, sweatshirt or light jacket should suffice.

We are at the time of year where weather swings from one end of the spectrum to the other. Yesterday’s high was like 60 and it’s suppose to be almost 90 on Saturday.

May Grey and June Gloom are definitely a thing in SoCal. I usually want a sweater in the mornings and the evenings though it heats up most afternoons.

So pretty much pack it all, then? lol I guess I shouldn't complain, I would rather be a little chilly in Disneyland than warm at home... Thanks for your responses! :)
 
We just returned yesterday. Bring layers. It was cold to me in morning and evening and daytime when cloudy and breezy but afternoons were almost hot in the sun.
 
Also, two pics from the (sadly) closed POTC queue. It reminds of the morning a few months ago that I managed to be the first on Peter Pan and POTC. After Fantasyland, I made my way to NOS. When I got there at around 9:00, POC was closed and had yet to be opened that morning. I waited around for several minutes and when it finally opened, I was the first in line :-).
