I have faith that it won't be that busy. I think the evening of the 16th and that saturday will be busy FOR SURE!! Last year where there wasn't any event on the saturday, by noon FP's were gone for Space mountain and it was a 90 minute stand by. So definately use all the skills you've learned for the weekend but I do have faith the week prior will be normal november crowds. But we'll see...
Edit: I read somewhere that someone was thinking Veterans day won't be crowded because the holiday season doesn't kick off until the following weekend...don't count it. Veterans day is still a holiday and the locals get the day off and WILL be in the park, and I was under the impression the decorations will still be up and small world and haunted mansion are up,just the fireworks and parades don't start until the weekend. Which is normal I thought...
That might have been me who said that.
What I meant to say was that I hope it isn't so crowded that DL reaches capacity and we can't get back in if we take a break or if we hop over to DCA.
I expect the parks to be crowded...much like a summer weekend. I'm just hoping that we don't get locked out of DL while we're riding Soarin'.
We're going to DL on the day we arrive in Anaheim, Saturday, Nov. 10th. We won't get into the park until around noon. Our main goal that first day is to view the Remember fireworks. Any other attraction we get to experience is a bonus. We plan on hitting the less popular rides that day like Honey, I Shrunk the Audience, the Tiki Room, the Mark Twain, Big Thunder, etc...and hopefully 1 or 2 of the more popular ones.
If we get to see Remember on Saturday, then we are going to Universal on Sunday with "Front of the Line Passes," then going back to DL on Monday, Knott's on Tuesday, then DL & DCA on Wed, Thurs, & Friday.
I expect Monday, the actual holiday to be crowded at DL, but not nearly as crowded as the previous 2 days as there are no Fireworks or parades scheduled on Monday. DL's hours are 9 - 10 that day, so I think they're expecting lower crowds as well.
If it wasn't for the Remember fireworks, I wouldn't be in the parks at all over Veterean's Day Weekend, but now that I've seen Remember on DVD...I just gotta experience it in person.
