I know!!!! 6 is so early!!! but I guess I'm naive to think that opening day would be different from the opening of anything at DL. People will be so excited and get there as early as they can.I am staying at the grand, but 6 am is so early. I was hoping for something closer to 7, but if security opens at 6 am, I'll probably be there at 6 am.
ONE WEEK!!!!!!
I'm hoping it changes (often does) by then and we're actually at 76 on Friday! (fingers crossed!)And by next Sunday it will be down to 76.. Crazy!
I thought the Tiki Room was going to be open. That will at least provide a short respite.
No tramsDoes anyone know if the trams will be running opening day? I know they hadn't used them during TOD, but wondering if they'll be back on 4/30.
Boo...No trams
Yes. Especially when the walk from the structure to the gates is 10-15 minutes alone lol.Boo...
I don't think it will be crazy at all thanks to the capacity limits. I think it's going to come down to those who want to be in the park first and those who are going to arrive when the park opens lol. I'm kind of leaning toward the latter because of the fact that there's a finite amount people allowed to go.We are also coming from harbor. Staying at Hojo. I get wanting to go early, but I’m curious how they’re going to have everyone line up in the esplanade? I think we will stick to our 7am plan because 6 is so early and with limited capacity it shouldn’t be too crazy right? Wishful thinking over here. Lol.

Hmmmm, I was counting on using a locker. Why do you think they would not be open?The kiddo and I got to DL by 5:30am for ROTR opening day, so she can hang, although she did wear a fluffy onesie to keep warm that I stashed in a locker, and I guess lockers inside the park aren’t open?
We will likely roll out about 830 from the Grand also. We don't need to be first, we will get there and cry, then head on in!!We're going to be at the GCH and don't feel the need to roll out at 6am. If they open the gates earlier than 9am - awesome for those folks waiting in the esplanade. I'm going to be on stroll mode that day. No expectations. Happy to be entering the gates of Disneyland.
FYI, anyone that is checking in on the 29th at GCH online registration is open.
I've heard they won't be, then I have heard they will, so no clues yet.Hmmmm, I was counting on using a locker. Why do you think they would not be open?
Sooo, somewhere I saw a graphic that showed the lockers outside the park, by the picnic area, with an arrow that said “these will be open” and then arrows to the lockers in both parks that said “these will NOT be open.” Do I remember the source of this info? I do not. So it could be totally made up, although I mostly follow people who don’t post nonsense.Hmmmm, I was counting on using a locker. Why do you think they would not be open?
We are super curious how everything is going to play out. We are just so happy to be back! But can’t help but wonder how the parks are going to handle a lot of things. We went to WDW in December and it was really well organized. But it wasn’t opening day! Lol. We fully expect some hiccups and will roll with it all. Super grateful to be going back. It’s starting to feel real now. Getting super excited!!How bad will the lines be on opening weekend? Like I know there's a lot of comparison to WDW, but working with the details of the DLR alone, how do you guys think it will be?
For DL: I think there are enough rides for the crowd to be dispersed through the different lands and rides plus there's waiting for food and experiences like savi's and Droid shop, etc.
For DCA: I'm seeing like 45 minute waits since there are less rides than DL in the park total (right? Or are there a same amount), and not a lot to do besides the boardwalk games.
I'm anxious to see how the crowds will be, but will be looking forward to a less crowded DLR. TBH that was the main draw for me when deciding when to make my reservations.
