Preparing for rain

[HyperspaceMountainPilot]

Deadpool was cancelled Saturday but allegedly operating Sunday (we couldn’t make the times it was playing, the CM by the diorama/stage told us it was on, weather depending).

Prepare yourself on the parade if the prior day or two gets canceled— we arrived in the IASW area around 8:15 and cast members were telling people to give up because all viewing areas were totally packed (they looked the most crowded I can remember in years except for the huge amount of space behind the chairs in reserved seating areas)— we ended up getting in a long line for storybook boats with a not great but not terrible view of the first 5 minutes of the parade before finally boarding the boats.

If it does rain Staturday, do the Star Wars projection shows go on?

That would be my back up if the fireworks are not happening

8:15? Is that a typo?

I didn't realize there was reserved seating at IASW for parades? Is this for VIP?

 

[Tinkaboo]

Yes. Right across from the entrance. I sat in the area right behind them in the summer. Was hoping for some pixie dust

For VIP tours and Club 33...I asked one of the CMs there, all plaids.

Oops, it felt like 8:15, but it was 5:15, though we were at the far end of the parade route.

At least on Sunday, the VIP section was moved. It is now across from the terraced area. I took a quick photo as we walked behind it. It was in the red area on the map. The hearing impaired section was in the same spot it always is (teal on the map). In picture with the reindeer, you can see the two people in blue shirts and black pants signing for the people standing behind the rope. For the second parade, Santa was signing from his sled.

Dare I say the weather looks like it *might* be looking a little better for the weekend?

Friday morning is still looking wet but after that it looks like the weekend could be nice

Here is hoping

The rain can come back after the holidays and not ruin people's vacations

Not ruin the vacation of those traveling during the holidays. People do still visit after the holidays.

Not ruin the vacation of those traveling during the holidays. People do still visit after the holidays.

1) The park cost the most right now and has extra entertainment that is affected by rain
2) This is the holidays us when people want to come to Disneyland and be together, not everyone but its when a majority of people come

So for me if I have to have rain now or January, its then because thats the off season when rides are closes, ticket deals are happening and just less is happening in the parks. I don't want anyone's vacation ruined but it will affect less people after the holidays, so hope thats when we get more rain like this

It's going to ruin SOMEONE's vacation.

 

[JerrodDragon89]

Your right...we should not have rain?

I dont know what people want we need rain and I said why the holidays are the worst time for rain if you disagree cool but rain has to happen
