How busy will it be??

[mogrill]

Ah yes, the million dollar question. We will be there from Tues the 31st of March thru Thurs. The 2nd of April. For all you experienced Disneyland goers that have gone during spring breaks, how long will the lines be on average for like the Pirates, Big Thunder, Haunted Mansion etc... I am assuming Fast pass will become our best friend. We usually go off season and my husband is such a grump about going at all (can you imagine?) I am sure he will cut out and hang at the hotel for most of the time. LOL. Just trying to get an idea so I can prepare him. Thanks all!!

KINDA HOPIN FOR RAIN!! THAT WOULD HELP CROWDS AND BEING FROM SEATTLE WE ARE USED TO IT!!

I'm interested to know how busy everyone thinks it'll be too. We'll be there from March 29-April 2. Looking at the disney calander, they think it will be slightly less busy then this week and next. I agree with bring on the rain, at least for one day! According to accuweather this morning it is a possibility! We're in Olympia, so used to the rain too and Disney is so fun in the rain!

I'm from the Olympia area to and heading there for the same time period. I hope the crowds aren't to bad but for goodness sakes no rain please I'm tired of this extra snow and cold and looking for some sun please.

We were here last month (off season) and the lines were great. We were able to walk on to most things like Buzz and Space Mountain with no wait. A couple we were able to ride several times in a row. Some of the more popular rides like Indiana Jones, Nemo and Toy Story Mania had 20-30 minute lines.

We're back now, during spring break, and it's much busier. The first 30-60 minutes after the park opens isn't bad, but then it gets busy. Most rides (Buzz, Star Tours, Monsters Inc., California Screamin) have 20-30 minute waits and many have 40-60 minute waits (Nemo, Toy Story Mania, Space Mountain, Soarin). Even the Fast Pass distributions have lines (especially Space Mountain - probably 5-10 minutes just to get a Fast Pass shortly after the park opens).

Fastpass is definitely your friend right now. Several rides (Soarin and Space Mountain) are out of Fast Passes sometime around noon. Pick up Fast Passes and ride a popular ride first thing, then rely on Fast Passes and ride the slower rides.
