SOOO packed this week!

At 7am on Monday, I selected an 8:05am return time for Jolly Holiday (for breakfast and cookies), and it took my money and then it wouldn't go through. I immediately did it again for 8:15am, and again it took my money and did not go through. I was so irritated. It took 45 minutes to be refunded.

That is exactly what happened to me!

The parking garages were at capacity by early this evening.

The Toy Story parking lot had to be the worst managed operation of any Disney property. Because of the volume of traffic, people making a left hand turn into the parking lot would turn on red and block the through traffic on Harbor. It took nearly 50 minutes to turn from Orangewood onto Harbor into the lot (1/3 of a mile). In the olden days they would open the Katella entrance up…. But of course that section of the lot (old CM) has been closed off for a few days. You’d think they’d at least direct traffic on Harbor….

We waited another 50 minutes for a bus. It was more crowded during the Halloween evening scene, but six consecutive busses - yes, six - went out of service. The line built up and some people report waiting nearly 90 minutes.

When we returned lot, the family in front of us waited until they boarded the bus to fold their stroller. So instead of asking them to step aside, they sent the bus on its way, 1/2 full, with tons of people waiting. When we boarded the next bus, the lady’s child - who was around 4-5yo - screamed at the top of her lungs the whole way back.

When I turned around and politely asked the mother if she could at least try to calm her child, mom suddenly decided she couldn’t understand English. And some other girl told me ‘you shouldn’t say things like that, you don’t know what she’s going through.’ If mom had made an attempt to calm the girl, I’d understand. But mom didn’t. Our girls understood that if they threw a tantrum, we’d walk back rather than take the bus. I noticed that mom walked out to Harbor, not her car. It would be faster to walk. Sorry if you were on the bus with me!
