Going in June for first time in years- a few random qqs!

[bayareadisneyland]

1. Staying at dl hote- when does pool at paradise pier hotel open? I thought by now but I’m seeing otherwise- don’t love the idea of sharing a pool!

2. What time does the fantasyland rides close for fireworks? Where can you wait around to ride after? Is that worth it?

3. I have little kids and waking at 6:30 every day for rope down might be tough. What time could we come and have the huge security lines/ entrance lines die down?

Thank you!!!

1. I thought the PP pools would be open by now. The DLH pools are very nice, so if you end up needing to use those instead I think that would be a benefit. A few years ago when I stayed at DLH their pools were closed so we used the Paradise Pier pools. The walk wasn't bad going back and forth between the hotels.

2. I'm not sure what time they close but if you time it right it would be worth waiting around so you could have shorter lines. You could watch the fireworks at Small World and then wander over to Fantasyland maybe 20 minutes after they end. Maybe someone else has more specific ideas about the timing.

3. I think that depends on the day, really. If you don't want to rope drop I'd just head over once you're ready. Any time after the official opening should have better lines than rope drop.

With little ones we do a stroller and line toys. I almost didn't bring my stroller with my 4-year-old this last trip and I'm so glad I did because he used it a lot. If you're worried about weight or size get one of the folding ones that fit into a bagpack.

As long as we have the stroller and a couple little toys he had no problems doing rope drop everyday.

I typically wait until 20 minutes after rope drop, and never have a line at security or the gates

I was wondering this same question about rope drop before we went this past weekend. We arrived at 7:40 am this past Friday through Sunday and never had more that than a 2 minute wait at security or line into parks.

We came at various times all trip. The worst was yesterday (Mondays are notorious) around 9 am. Other days we came at 9 am no issues. Once we came at 8:15 and there was no line for security or entrance.

There was rarely a line for either when we came. Maybe 5 people back at most. Security is really nice now. It was a chaotic mess when we came in 2019.
