Haven’t seen TS4. All I can say is that the live action remake of the original Toy Story is going to freak some kids out...

I went to see that yesterday. It took a dark turn when Andy's toy started killing people

Virtual Queue is now in use at Disneyland.

And 150 minute wait now for the Falcon.

And 150 minute wait now for the Falcon.

Other wait times don't seem bad at all, but still only 9:17 there. It'll be very interesting to see if the crowds still don't come to DL.

March of the First Order is ending July 7th. The walk around Storm Troopers are also ending that day.

I expect this is a getting ready for SWGE thing.

That's too bad, I always enjoyed that and made sure to catch it each trip.

So, the big crowds at Disneyland? Did it happen?

Either this reservation system really, really worked to control crowds or the numbers just weren't as big as expected?

I think both.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I think both.

I definitely think both and also, as was pointed out to me, there are still the blackouts on a lot of the annual passes at DLR and with it being a more locals park that has a big impact

But that said, this is the first day of it being open with no reservations, and this seems really pretty light

How long does the blackout period last? This was really a good approach to staggering the crowds. First reservations, then regular guests, then AP.

I think it’s a mix but Disneyland has been soft during the summer time the last few years. Our busy season is the Halloween corridor.

APs start to gain access back in mid/late August. CM self admit the second week of September and as of now main gates are blocked indefinitely.

They are killing me with these little mini-closires and whatnot during the time I'll be there.

It’s the lack of notice that kills me.

We get 3 weeks? It’s not really a game changer but...
