Just got back from Disneyland today...any questions?

[SilverCeladon]

Yep, the Nemo line is insane! Need to be in line at the gates 30-45 minutes early before opening. I was there 20 minutes early and I got on the 4th sub. About 15 minutes after opening the line was already 1.5 hours long...

Hot Hot Hot! It's insanely hot there right now. Bring lots of sunscreen!

The fireworks are not to be missed in the park. It will bring tears to your eyes!
It's totally different than watching them from your hotel.

Any questions I can answer?

I have a question.

Where in the park is the best place to view the fireworks? Thanks!

 

[SilverCeladon]

The best place is right in front of the castle but you would have to get there at least 1.5-2 hours early just to get a spot. Another good place is just on the curb on Main Street. It's absolutely beautiful!

It was an EE ride when we were there two weeks ago, but not much different, we had a wait time of 76 minutes from the time we entered the que to the time we boarded the sub. We were one of the first into the park.
I liked the old sub ride much better.

We just got back from a ten day trip DL on Tuesday. On Saturday, we rode Nemo and really enjoyed it. We had early entry and arrived at the park at the opening of EE (7:00 a.m.) My older son "quickly" walked to Nemo and the rest of us followed right behind. I think we only waited about 20-25 min. I was expecting a lot longer wait. The line that you have to walk through is very long, it twists back and forth several times.

The weather was very warm, but again I was expecting hotter weather and larger crowds, so we were pleasantly surprised. I did find that the heat tires you out a lot quicker though.

I just got back from DL too! I was there last Sunday through Tuesday. I got in line for EE on Tuesday exactly at 7 am, we were the first at the gate, as soon as they let us in I ran for the subs and managed to get onto the first sub of the day!
I was kind of surprised at how little wait some of the big rides has, like 35 mins for SM, 25 for Indy and 15 for BTMMR.
Overall I had a blast and can't wait to come back, I think I even liked DL more than WDW.

That's by the restaurant that's undergoing renovations? If so, I didn't see any seating there at all. Maybe someone else can better answer this question.

So, I gave you advive on when to ride Nemo (30 minutes before non-EE day). Did it work? Did you find EE days or non-EE days to have a larger rush to Nemo?

Was Bengal BBQ open?

Was it difficult to get a spot to watch Fantasmic?

I just saw a picture of the renovation, and it doesn't look like any seating by the Riverbelle is open for viewing Fantasmic.

Let me see if I can find it. I will be back...
