Leap Day updates

[Disneyland 1951]

Crowd at 8:30
It was already busy for a morning. pure blue sky, looks like it will be warmer than 60 forcast.

Several Local Reporters were broadcasting.

Everyone is getting this pin. It looks like they have a lot of pins.
The special Mickey Ear hats are long gone, but they will emborder the back with the special logo.

Characters.
Lots in Town Square. This is not your usual Alice. The Main Characters ( Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Chip & Dale) Rotateed out often. Minnie, Mickey, Pluto, and Goofy exited...... But within two minutes they were back out (Note: Minnie and Goofy were both shorter than two minutes earlier.

Thanks for the pics!!

Wow! What happened?? We left the park in the afternoon, and when we came back around 8pm the line to enter the park went all the way to the entrance of California Adventure.

We heard people there was a 2 hour wait to enter the park.

But the wait times are reasonable on Mousewait. Are they limiting the capacity to the park tonight??

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Thanks for the pics. I'm enjoying the updates. Any pics of the DIS meets?

From looking at the wait times, I doubt there is even a slight chance of reaching capacity.

I agree, that's why I can't understand why there is a 2 hour wait to enter the park. I haven't seen all lines fill the entire esplanade before like this. We saw this at 8pm and said..umm nevermind..let's go back.

Disneyland 1951 posted the picture long ago. I'm wondering are they still filiming modern family in front of some of the gates, and that is causing a bottle neck?

I just want to add that when DCA was closing, tons of people went to DL. I'm sure it was just as bad when WoC(which ran out of Show tickets quickly today) let out.
