Thanks!

I can't decide if I'm thrilled or scared!! lol! That's right in the middle of our stay. I'm excited that we'll get to see them, and scared at the crowds this will create!! We weren't really planning on doing the parks on the weekend anyway though... looks like it's a good thing!

I am really happy that we'll get to see these though! It will be awesome!!

nice to see that an actual date has been anounced.

we have a trip planned for May 29-June3rd. will cross fingers for soft openings. if not, then that friday is gonna be interesting to say the least! at least ST is rumored to have FP. this will be a great "finale" to our trip, but really crossing fingers that soft openings will happen during the week we are there AND before the official opening.

WoooooHooooo That is the last day of our upcoming trip!!! We don't fly out til 4pm so hopefully we can get atleast 1 ride in on Mermaid before we have to leave for the airport! Also hoping for some soft openings so that we are not limited to just a few hours... Will keep ya posted!

And Just a couple days ago AL Lutz was saying Disney could not pin down days for this.

I think they were waiting for Al to post something to make him look foolish!

Just posted this in another thread and then saw this thread.....

We arrive on, you guessed it, June 3. Will it be really crazy everywhere or will most of the crowds center around just these two rides leaving everything else relatively normal? We've been to DLR many times but never when anything new was opening. We'll be back in October but were hoping to have a relatively uncrowded visit like we normally do this time of year. Will it be just crazy everywhere? All opinions are welcomed. We just missed the WOC opening last year and that was going to be our big new thing to do this time around. Help!

I would expect VERY high crowds everywhere. June 3rd itself only the lowest AP is blocked out. The weekend will be very crowded too but slightly less than Friday. If your trip continues into Monday and Tuesday though, those days are gonna be CHAOS! All APs are good those days, so I would expect TONS of AP holders to be flooding through the gates on those two days.

Get there early, use FP (especially for ST2) and do what you can.

If the dates hold it will be extra busy. This could added thousands of people to each park. I'm sure October will be a nicer time to visit crowd wise.

Oddly enough June 3rd is my birthday. Wonder if I should....ask to go to Disneyland for my birthday.

 

[jlwhitney]

about the parade. Going 17-20 of may. Maybe they will have soft openings of the other two rides, but those don't matter as much since we live 2.5hrs from wdw.

hmm, you guys should go see King Triton status on top of the mermaid building... looks awesome...

Can you post a pic for us? It's not that easy for some of us to get there!

I think his title was also called "Subject to Change".

Really wishing I was going this summer. Boo hoo

We were there for the opening day of Toy Story Mania, and it didn't really affect us--except for the fact that the whole trip (4 days) we couldn't get on Toy Story Mania because the lines were hours long (stretching all along the waterfront area)--and because it was broken down each time we tried to get in line! We just skipped it that trip, knowing we wold be back. We found the lines in Disneyland Park were actually a bit smaller, because everyone was in line for Toy Story Mania! So if you go and don't set your heart on going on the brand new ride, you will be fine.
