just got back from a long weekend, 7-31/8-3. And, nobody was there.
On Friday, we hit Universal, and the longest wait was maybe 30 minutes, with most of the attractions at 15 min. or less. On Saturday, we visited La Brea, and then hit DL in the afternoon. In about 6 hours we did 13 attractions, with only one of them being FP. the longest lines were about 40 min. at Indiana and Space Mtn. On Sunday we did CA, and again, no lines. Walked on to Monsters, Screamin, etc. the longest wait was Toy Story for about 35 minutes which we did a couple of times.
We stayed for the nuight parade, and ate at the Italian restaurant. After eating, a table opened up on the terrace, at the wall overlooking the street, and were able to finish our wine and watch the parade from a great location without being crowded.
On Monday we hit DL again, and the crowds were back, a little bit. The average wait was about 30 min. so we FP a lot. On Monday, however, the attractions were breaking. During the day, Space Mtn, Splash Mtn, and Indiana Jones all went down for a while.
Had good eats as well. Hit the In n out burger, ate at Shakys Pizza (which we havent seen in 20 years around here) Ralph Brennans in DD, and the Italian place in CA.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn on Manchester. Nice place. had a refrig. in the room. The bus was 4 bucks a day for those over 9 yrs and 2 for those under 9 yrs. It was cheaper to drive and pay the $12 parking.
