WDW vet has questions...Spring break!

[DisTeach1]

Hello,

I am planning a last minute trip to Disneyland for Mar. 27-Mar. 30. I have a few questions that I need help on...

1) Obviously, it's going to be crowded...How bad?


2) What about ADR's...Is it too late to get reservations for restaurants? Does it work like DisneyWorld?

I think that's it for now...I think fastpasses work the same as WDW.

Hello,

Yes. Bad. No. No. Pretty much.

Here is some advice:

1. Weekdays will have lower crowds than weekends. Tour like crazy on the weekdays of your trip.

2. ADRs are called PS at DLR (Priority Seating). Not nearly as crazy as WDW and much lower demand. DLR is made up of 70% locals - most on day trips - and they do not pay much attention to dining or reservations.

A treat would be the Blue Bayou at DL. For that I would (and do) make reservations but you can often do that at the last minute. I would do it now if I were you to be safe.

3. Parkhopping at DLR is best done with a different philosophy than WDW. See links below.
