Will probably make a solo trip to Disneyland on 10/28. Wondering if anyone has any tips or anything?

Okay, if you are doing one day get a park hopper ticket. But, be aware that California Adventure Park closes early that night for MTOT (Mickey's Trick or Treat Party). Take advantage of Fast Pass. Make sure you are holding a fast pass when you use the most current one. If it appears there is a long line for Pirates or Haunted Mansion, walk away and come back in 15 minutes. The line will miraculously clear. Either way, it never takes more than 20 minutes in either of these lines. Tower of Terror is another que line that moves VERY fast. Don't worry at the listed wait times. Soarin and California Screamin have single rider lines - there may be others but these are the two that I have used multiple times. Toy Story Mania does not have fast pass. If you want to go on it wait in line. The line moves relatively fast, and the que is fun. I don't believe they have a single rider entrance, at least they didn't when I was there last. Indiana Jones Adventure is a must see for WDW natives as its a ride that doesn't exist at WDW. Also, wait in line for Matterhorn. No fast passes but the nature of the line makes it look like it will take a long time. . .it doesn't really. Nemo Subs is a long line, the wait is longer. I don't wait for it.

Fast Pass must do's - Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Indiana Jones Adventure, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Soarin and California Screamin(if you don't want to do single rider), and Tomorrowland Autopia.

Hmmmm, I could post more but maybe you should ask questions so I know what it is you like to do.

I never really wanted to go to DL, but now I think I do. Thanks

One of the reasons that the lines move fast for some of the rides when comparing them to WDW is the way the lines que. For example: TOT has 6 "elevators" and two rooms where the Twilight Zone thingy is shown. They move hundreds of people through very fast. At Haunted Mansion there are two "stretching" rooms which can also move the crowds through fast. The crowds at DL can be HORRID but you can still manage to get most things in. If you get there when the park opens you can even manage to fit in Fantasyland. The parks are very well layed out and its relatively easy to move from one attraction to the other. Also, walking between DL and DCA is similar to walking from future world to world showcase except that you actually have to exit the gate from DL and enter the gate at DCA. The distance is comparable.

That's good to know. Sounds more and more like I have to try it. I've been to WDW many time, actually I'm here now. Getting ready to hit MK when it opens. If you need any advice for WDW just ask
