Waited at most 25 minutes for all E-tickets on a day where everything was more than 55 minutes and Radiator Springs Racers was at a 100 minute wait all throughout the day. All I had to do was refresh for 5 minutes to find an immediate Lightning Lane!

I went to Disneyland on March 9th and DCA on March 10th and it felt VERY packed, more packed at DCA than at Disneyland to be honest. I think the $50 kids ticket offer is probably what made it so packed, especially the fact that it was the last weekend to use the tickets. I noticed that the weekend of the 16/17 wait times were shorter than when I went, but DCA in general is packed due to the food & wine festival. I feel like the festival was better last year vs. this year, but honestly I don't think I'll go during the food & wine festival again just due to how packed it was.

We always drive up to get there at 7:30 AM at the parking garage. So that’s leaving our house (El Cajon) at 6 AM. And to come home, we leave the park no earlier than 6 PM or we’ll hit traffic going home. For the AM, if you aren’t going to show up for rope drop, I wouldn’t leave until 9 AM to miss most of the rush hour traffic. But being in Carlsbad, you’re already halfway there (to us), so it might not be too bad to deal with traffic. Use the HOV from San Clemente to Anaheim and you’ll be fine for the most part.

@SoCalDisneyDad9 ай бұрын
The two individual lightning lane rides have height requirements that I doubt a 2 year old would be tall enough for unless they are on the cusp of turning 3 and very tall for their age. Possible? Yes. And in that case, the answer is yes. Without a ticket, they don’t require a purchase and can ride. But be prepared to have to explain it on every ride. Because cast members will be skeptical they don’t have a ticket. The front gate CMs can’t argue with you unless it’s obvious. They have to take your word for it. But the lightning lane CMs will think you’re trying to squeeze on an extra person and will ask you to scan their ticket. Which will prompt you have to explain it every time. Now, if they are clearly below 3, like infant or baby, then that won’t be a problem, but they would only be able to go on small world, pirates, buzz, roger rabbit, and runaway railway for lightning lanes. The rest have height requirements. Autopia might be possible as its height req is 32 inches. The lowest of the lightning lane height reqs.

@@jrbagley2010 That sounds like a solid plan. Though I don’t think any of the CMs will give you grief about it. You’ll just likely need to explain it at the 40 inch rides.

We're planning a 2 day visit for the first Friday and Saturday of next March. Would you say that's a good time to go and beat spring break crowds?

There is alcohol at Disney now. I was surprised this year that they have alcohol at Blue Byou and also Goofy's Kitchen. $18-25 a pop. But it is on the menu. Not sure how I feel about it. I enjoy the cocktails that they offer at the food and wine festival in DCA and Lamplight Lounge, but disneyland having boose now... not sure! You should send a poll!

At Disneyland, they only have alcohol at the table service restaurants, and you can’t take it of the restaurant. Where at DCA, there are half a dozen quick service stands 100% dedicated to alcohol you carry around as you walk. So there’s still mostly a distinction.

I am going on 4/26 and 4/27. Do you think it'll be super crowded?
@SoCalDisneyDad9 ай бұрын
Spring Break ends around the middle of the month, so it’ll be less crowded by then. Hopefully. Unless Disney comes out with some other crazy discount.

My wife has an ADA but we can get by without it so we don't use it. I'm pretty sure we'd feel guilty. 😊

If you feel you don't need it, that's probably the right call. But don't hesitate to take advantage of the services available to you if it would dramatically make your experience less of a hassle/pain.

Local kids go on Spring Break starting next week, so expect the crowds to swell up.

When does spring break wrap up? Is May a good time for crowds?
@SoCalDisneyDad9 ай бұрын
By April 15th it’s safe to say Spring Break will be over. May is usually pretty decent.

I saw on Reddit the other day that Rise was shut down because someone dumped human remains during the ride….

I was just there and did not get a chance to write it because it was constantly shut down.Maybe that's why.

That happens more often than you’d think. I don’t know what made this one news worthy over any other time. Though usually it’s the Haunted Mansion, but with it down for refurb, I guess they’re picking a different ride.
