Going To DLC In Aug, Got some ?s

[Soon2beMarried]

Im going to disneyland and cali andv. the first full week of august.

Here are my questions

1. Which day will be best to use are 1 hour early pass. On wensday, Firday, or saturaday.

2. What rides will be open with the early admission, will Space Mountain? Indiana Jones?

3. Any romatic places to eat near, we will be on our honeymoon.

4. How busy is it late, like i ready disneyland is open till midnight. So are the lines crazy long like between 9 to midnight. i cant image they wood.

5. Which of the rides are really different to go on at night. Ive been to disneyland 3 times, but we never went back when it was dark, So im wondering what rides are cooler at night.

Thanks guys, any info im thankfull

EE is typically available on Mon, Tue, Thur, and Sat. Therefore, Sat. is the only option of the days you have asked about.

Most of the Fantasyland rides are open for EE (Storybook and Casey Jr. are not; I'm not sure about Small World-- I believe all the rest are, including Peter Pan and Matterhorn). Additionally, a couple ofTomorrowland rides are open, including Buzz Lightyear. When I went in August and Dec., Space Mountain was usually open for EE, but not always. I usually avoid SM for EE because it takes a fair amount of time even during EE; I'd rather get a FP and go a little later. Adventureland & Frontierland are roped off (which also means you can't get into NOS or Critter Country. Indiana is currently not open for EE.

I think your best bet for romantic restaurant would be one of the nicer restaurants in one of the Disney resorts or DTD. I haven't yet been to Napa Rose in the GCH; it's probably the best (and most expensive) restaurants. I like the Jazz Kitchen in DTD.

Crowds let up after fireworks and Fantasmic, but lines still stay pretty long until late. Crowds lighten more quickly at DCA, but then it closes earlier than DL.

Most outdoor rides are a bit different at night. I like Storybook, Matterhorn, Jungle Cruise, BTMRR, and even Autopia better at night. The Sunwheel in DCA is very nice after dark.

1. Already answered with Saturday being the only day you could do EE

2. I do not believe small world is open during EE at least it was not all the times I have been.

3. I would look into the DL restaurant hotels unless you want to do blue bayou although that might be romantic or not for you.

4. Since you are going during a really busy time the park will still be crowded late night. Since the last showing of fantamic is at 10:30 I see the park being crowded with those people until at least 11:30 and alot of people stay in the park until close. Especially during August when it's cooler at night.

5. Storybook, matterhorn, big thunder, splash, jungle basically all the outdoor rides at DL. For DCA you have screamin and the TOT with looking out over the pretty lights. Also the sun wheel if you are interested in that.
