Happy Halloween from The first person in the park today!

[WonkaKid]

The park is the least crowded I’ve ever seen it (so far). Did Buzz about ten times with virtually no line. As you can see in the pic below, there were few people in line even for Peter Pan at around 8:20.

Also, there was a guy behind me in line dressed as Walt Disney. He stayed in character the entire time and wouldn’t acknowledge any attraction that was post-1966 (the year Walt died).

I was first in the park, second on PP (my friends were first).

Left my cane and Wonka Bar in the car. Already had several things to carry.








This was (almost non-existent) line for PP at around 8:15. It's always more than twice as long as this. Never seen anything like it. It was a Halloween miracle! ;-).






Here are a few pics from the West Hollywood carnival last night (wherein you can see my Wonka bar and cane (sort of)).

Your costume looks great! Have fun and Happy Halloween from AZ!

An hour ago, I took my jacket off in tomorrowland and sat for a bit. Several people must have thought I was a CM because they came up and asked me various park-related questions. After the second or third, I realized what was afoot.

Great costume and nice pics as always!

Wow. It's 10:45 now, and PP still shows just a 35-minute wait.

Great costume!

 

[WonkaKid]

Crowds are still awesome. At 10:00, Pirates was still a walk-on. At 8:15, PP was still only abuut five minutes. Buzz has been virtually a walk-on all day. Amazing.

Hate to be a jerk, but...

Wow, all 10 high score spots on Buzz!! You are amazing. Love your castle photo looking through the walkway.

Its a great day to be at the parks. We have been at DCA all day and the crowds have been very light and the weather is great !!

Since I'll never get to be on the leaderboard, I'll take comfort in knowing that I know a guy who often is.

I was just wondering, and about to ask when I got to the bottom of the thread, if you have ever swept the Buzz scoreboard. Congrats!

You're looking great in your costume. Did you bring the cane?

 

[rentayenta]

DH worked today and said the parks were empty today! Wish I could have been there.

 

[MonocularVision]

You should offer to put other people’s initials on the leaderboard.... for a small fee.

I left the cane and Wonka bars in the car. I was carrying too much as it was and I didn’t want to be burdened with anything more.

My sentiments exactly! Happy Halloween, Rob!

Rob, have you ever thought about sticking around till the last dogs are hung and being the first in the park and the last one out? Just to say you did it?
