I was wondering if you guys know if the park has been dead since Sunday?

I'm thinking it might have to do with Thanksgiving and everyone traveling during that time, so then after Thanksgiving, most people are just chilling at home.
 
We've been here since Sunday. Seems like a lot of people, though we only come off season, so my perspective may be off. Nemo ride was long during early entry - but the time we got there, they cast member said it was an hour line (about 10 minutes after EE opening). Said if we came later in the day, it would go down to 35 minutes (but we didn't try...we're going to try again tomorrow for early entry). Fantasyland seemed somewhat crowded in the morning. And lots of people at parades and fireworks.

Lines for rides other than Nemo and Pinocchio haven't been long. About 5-10 minutes for Buzz, 10 minutes for Pirates, 5-10 minutes for Haunted Mansion, 20 minutes for Splash. But still, it feels like there are a lot of people here. And the hotel is very full, if not sold out.
 
Those line waits are much, much shorter than we were seeing the weekend before Thanksgiving! (Nemo aside, of course.)
 
And CA Adventure is dead. Practically walked on Grizzly River Run and maybe a 5 to 10 minute wait for Soarin'.
 

That sounds dead to me. I wish I was there again! During Thanksgiving week, most of the wait times were 25-30 minutes (Thunder Mountain, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Buzz). Space Mountain was normally closer to 60 minutes, as was Soarin. Grizzly was 5-10 minutes, TOT was 5-10, Screamin' was 25-30 minutes. Everyone was polite and friendly, but there were still a LOT of people (that made people watching a fun past time). :goodvibes

haha, you havent seen dead before then... :P

Buzz was walked on, Space was walked on, Scream was walked on, Soaring had a 15 min wait time... now THAT is dead :P

although fantasyland was like 30-40 min wait time for most rides... park is mostly just little kids with parents.
 
My neice and her boyfriend were there yesterday and they said it was pretty empty. They walked on practically everything. The only LONG line they saw was for the Nemo ride (45 min), so they avoided it. They said they waited the longest for Indiana Jones, about 10 minutes. Everything else was under 10 minutes.

At California Adventure they said the line for Tower of Terror was about 10 minutes, Soaring was about 15 minutes, and Screaming they got on in less than 5 minutes.

They had a great time!

Oh dear I am so excited! I'm going tomorrow! I guess we'll break for Nemo before anything (that is if we don't eat breakfast first) then hit fantasyland and from there I'll have to ride space mountain by myself unless my older cousin comes, at this point its just me, my aunt (no coasters) and my two cousins ages 7 & 5

I can't believe I'm going again!:goodvibes
