Also the is the first I am seeing the new ears.

I think I’m going to get the ears if I can remove the Mickey charm in the middle.

Good thing you got the premium pass. The following are from ThemeParkIQ

It is the first day of fall break for a lot of schools and therefore the first day in the last 30 days that people from out of town could make it to the park.

I’m glad we popped in last night and did Pirates, Mr. Toad, and Alice when they had 5-10 minute waits.

Alright, time for Mickey Math:
1) A multipass + 2 single LL’s would have cost me $100pp. So that brings the cost down to $350pp.

2) I used a credit card, so that will get me 600 miles closer to the next status tier, which may save me money on not have to pay for premium seats next year.

3) We are probably spending 11 hours in the park, so it’s $32 extra an hour on LLMP + 2 SP’s

4) We are less likely to buy merch and alcohol because we know we spent a to on the LLPP, which probably saves us at least $100.

We also had M&MRR break down right at the end of the ride and we got another untimed LLMP if we want to tie something twice.

I’m typing while getting ready for a stone and foot massage @ Tenaya…. ahhh… vacation!

To follow up: Going to Disneyland after DCA closes on Friday has officially become a nightmare experience.

1) They only do fireworks on Fridays and Saturdays now. Leading to increased crowds.
2) Closing DCA at 9pm (previously 10pm) and directs thousands of people into Disneyland right as Main Street is jammed up for fireworks.
3) At essentially the same time Fantastic is going on, which means everything on that side of the park is wall to wall people.
4) Disneyland now closes at 11pm (previously midnight)…. which is right when the last parade is finishing up… which leads to a madhouse for the exits.
5) The magic hour of 11pm to midnight when the masses were exiting the park used to be an incredible time to get on attractions with shorter wait time…. Helping to maximize the value of staying on site vs day guests.
6) Losing an hour at DCA and DLand and then making DL miserable to navigate reduces the value of your ticket and of a LL (whether it’s SP, MP, or PP).
